He couldn't say what he felt. He
wanted to hold her close and kiss
her and pour out the fact that he
loved her. It was something that
he mad kept buried within him this
week by sheer force. 1t was fact
that he must continue to keep bot
tied up within him, he knew. And
he was entirely too penniless to
make serious love to any girl.
He realized, looking at her there
in this moment, that the best thing
for Gayle Dixon to do was to build
up the promised romance between
her and Jeremy Tucker. Almost
any year now Jeremy would be
exceedingly wealthy. He had
money already, in fact.

 Allied, Reich Diplomats Are Jotkeying for
 Developments RUSSIA, HUNGARY ALSO GAZING TOWARD NATION German Plans Are FldtIy Rejected as Most
 'IntoIerdbIe

LONDON, March 16.-With the establishment of a forced peace on Finland on the northern war front, the spotlight today swings across restless Europe to the intense dip lomatic maneuvering centering on Rumania whose grain and oils bulk importantly in the European war.
 Latest development on this front is the ceaseless jockeying for po- sition by Allied and Reich diplo- mats.
 It is reported Rumania has turned cold shoulder on a German plan under which the Hungarian and So- viet Russian borders would be guar anteed through concessions to Ger many.
 Russian Aims
 Russia's eyes are on Rumania be- cause the latter gained Bessarabia from Imperial Russia after the World War.
 | Hungary seeks Pennsylvania which once was part of the Austria Hun gary empire.
 Germany needs Rumanian pro- ducts to ease the effects of the Allied blockade.
 Under the German plan, it is reported, Germany would engineer a 25 year Russian -Rumanian non- aggression pact and 10 year Hun garian pledge not to press her ter ritorial revision In return for these concessions Rumania would h ave e to demobolize most of her 1.k00,000 soldiers so they could return to the fields and factories and accelerate production, granting a virtual German monopoly over Rumanias exports of oil, cer- calls and other supplies.
 Also there would have to be approval of a pro-Nazi Iron Guard member to the Rumanian cabinet to safeguard German interests"
 Rumanians said such a plan would be "intolerable."

MORE AID FROM U. s.

WASHINGTON, March 16-Such powerful figures in the United States Senate as Norris of Nebras- ka, Pittman of Nevada and LaFol- lette of Wisconsin, joined today in suggesting that Finland be aided in rehabilitating their war-torn country.
 Senator Norris suggested re- funding the money Finland has remitted on it's war debt. Senator LaFollette recommended that the money be lent to the Films at low interest. Senator Pittman intimat- ed that he was in favor of $l00,- O00,000 grant. to be administered by the Red Cross.
 Finland already has used most of $1O,OOO,Oo0 credit set up through the Export Import Bank for purchases in the United States.
 Loan Administrator Jessie Jones has announced that the banks of- ficials will add S2o,0OO,O00 to this credit. It was considered possible that special legislation will be of fered to giving the Films more lee way in the use they can make of the $2O,O000O0, now that they face tremendous relief and rehabilita- tion problems.

NEW DEAL INSIDERS pICkTAFT AS MAN
 DEMOS MUST DEFEAT
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, March 16. - A core group of New Dealers books Senator Taft as the man they will have to beat in November.
 They haven't altogether kissed Senator Vandenberg out of the pie ture. As to the Michigan Senator, they doubt he has the steady pull in the stretches they credit to Taft. His radio voice has improved but, as they view it, not to the level of the Taft, who won a series of radio debates from Representative T. V. Smith, sparkling liberal.
 As to Tom Dewey of New York. they say that no glamour boy from New York can match the glamour of Roosevelt and that anything less would appear third grade to an electorate grown used to such fancy glamour as the Roosevelt brand.

STOCKHOLM, March 16.-Selma Lagerlof, 81, novelist and win ner of the Nobel prize in litera- ture, is dead at her northern SWed- ish lodge. Friends said worry over the future of Scandinavia in war ring Europe abetted her illness.
 Dr. Lagerlof, world renowned au- thor of Costa Berlings Saga was one of Sweden's outstanding Wo- men and the most widely read wo- man in the history of the king dom.
 She was born November 20 1858, at Marbacka in the province of Varmland, the fourth child of Lieu tenant and Mrs. Erik Gustaf Lager lof.
 Books are Companions
 Her impulse to write, nourished in a sickly childhood when she sought companionship in books, found it's first expression in verse, some of which was published. Later while attending school in Stock holm, she conceived the idea of recording in fiction the rich legen- dry of the Varmland province.
 It was not until 189O,s however as a school teacher in the province that she really began work on Costa Berlings Saga novel of provincial manor house, that proved her outstanding achieve ment. Her previous attempts to write the novel had proved un- successful. lacking what she con- sidered the proper inspiration.

QUIETER COUNTRY?

As a matter of fact, some of the New Dealers have begun to suspect that the country may be wishing for a bit of calm political weather. That is how come they write Taft into the picture. One of them ana lyzed him as conservative, stum- bling, hard working, friendly and perhaps a little bit dumb"
 For a country striving for a quieter way of life than it has had in the past seven years, that com bination, he said, might just fill the bill
 Incidentally, they haven't decid- ed who from their own ranks will be the best man to stop Taft-ex- cept Roosevelt himself. They don't concede' that Roosevelt is the only one who can stop him, or Vanden- berg or Dewey, or Representative Martin, or Frank Gannett, or anyone else for that matter. They are just speculating.
