WASHINGTON-In the week be- fore his army attacked in the Ball. kans, Hitler's reaction to the Yugc- slav slap in the face has been coming back to Washington in piecemeal diplomatic dispatches. Put togeth- CT, here is the story:
 After Hitler signed the pact with the now discredited Yugoslav gov- ernment of Prince Paul, he had planned the biggest coup of the war. It was scheduled for Saturday. March 29.
 On that day his troops were to launch their attack from Bulgaria toward Salonika. Simultaneously, other Nazi troops were to go through Yugoslavia. Mussolini was sched- uled to fly to Albania to lead a charge against the Greeks, while the Italian navy was to sweep the Medi- terranean.
 2 Shortly after this, the air blitz against England was to begin.
 However, when the Yugoslavs chucked their Axis pact out the window. Hitler was forced to re- arrange his tactics for attacking Salonika. And the Italian fleet was virtually destroyed.
 As result Hitler was so beside himself with rage that he would not speak to Foreign Minister von Rib bentrop for two days.
 NOTE: It was von Ribbentrop who had given him assurances that the Yugoslavs would go through with their Axis agreement, and who now made Hitler fool in the eyes of the world.

80 Mayors and Other
Officials Ousted
BY Petuin Regime
BY the Associated Press.

~ tAe nsSStldtCu 1iCSS.
VICHY, France, Jan. 23.-Sixty-
one municipal councils were dis
solved by government decree today
and SO mayors and other municipal
officials were ousted in a program
designed to clean up" Frances city
governments.
The municipal councils were re-
placed by special delegations. De-
partment projects will replace mu-
nicipal officials dismissed.
Thirty-two changes in the coun-
ellis were made because 1.-The compo-
sition of the council cannot give
efficaciouS aid to national recovery,
the government said.
Other dismissals were attributed
to a hostile majority to national re.
covery, negligence, lack of author
ity, partiality, disinterestedness, in
ertla and incompetence in housing
refugees.
Other charges included hostility ia
the government of Chief of State
Philippe Petain. The departmental
prefect suspended the Mayor of q
village near Digne for insulting re-
marks about Marshal Petain.
A municipal reform program was
announced by the Vichy government
December II, 1910. The dismissals
announced today were the most nu-
merous made since adoption of that
program.

Disorders Believed
Still in Progress

SOFIA, Bulgaria, Jan. % P,-
Although Rumanian legations in
Southeastern Europe declared today
that Premier Gen. Ion Antonescu
had mastered Rumanias S rebellion,
diplomatic sources here expressed
belief that some disorders were still
In progress.
They pointed out that at least
one high general had joined dissident
Iron Guardists.
Before the statements were issued
hundreds were reported to have
been killed in the civil strife within
the dominated nation. The
rebels were said earlier to be holding
several ministries, the telephone
headquarters and the post Office at
Bucharest. At one time rebels
claimed to hold the upper hand in
most cities in Rumanian Transyl-
wanna. sss - Hr
Hungary, which won a big slice
of the Province of Transylvania in
an axis-dictated settlement last fall
was reported in Belgrade, Yugo-
siavfa, to be calling up additional
troops hurriedly in connection with
events in exiled King Carols former
domain. Observers in the Yugoslav
capital pointed out that Hungary
wants still more of Transylvania.
Turkish Cabinet Meets.
The Turkish cabinet held a three
hour meeting to discuss the tur-
bulence in Rumania and the pres
ence of hundreds of thousands of
German troops there.
The German soldiers had been ex-
pected to intervene in the strife, but
apparently were steering clear, since
| dispatches received through the
censorship made no mention of
them.
The rebels were said to claim that
more than 10000 men were fighting
on their side. The strength of the
forces fighting with Gen. Antonescu
was not known here but some reports
said he had only the support of
troops unfriendly to the legion
naireS.
N4iC olieaoil ldolO, al d lcpOlI
picked up by N. B. C. in New
York, quoted Rumanian radio
stations as ordering all Iron
Guardists to remain at their
fighting stations to await orders
from Vice Premier Horia Sima,
the Iron Guard leader. B. B. c.
also broadcast report that a
Rumanian army corps was
marching on Bucharest)
March on Capital Reported.
A revolution leader, Gen. Draga-
lima, also was reported marching on
the Rumanian capital with troops
and he was said to have appealed
to Sima to assume leadership of the
nation and restore order. He was
said to have ended the appeal with
the words:
Long live King Mihai and the
legionnaire movement"
The Bucharest radio, held by the
rebels, appealed to troops already
in the capital not to fire on the
revolters. The broadcast was said
to have emphasized that they were
ready to die like our captain. "
This was a reference to Corneliu
Zelea Codreanu, the Iron Guard
leader who was slain prison in
1888 and whose death Iron Guard
lists avenged in blood purge last
November.

Effort for Compromise
Reported FruitIess

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Jan. %
P.-A bloody struggle for power in
Rumania was reported to be con-
tinuing today in Bucharest and the
provinces after Premier Gen. Ion
Antonescu sought fruitlessly over
night to compromise with rampag-
ing Iron Guard extremists.
The German position in the dis
pute was not clarified here, although
Nazi troops were reported without
confirmation to have assisted gov
ernment forces in places in support
ing the Antonescu regime.
Some army commanders were
understood to have joined the revolt,
as well as some sailors at Constanta.
