GERMAN PAPERS
 FORETELL SMASH
Pay But Little Attention to InauguratiOn-Britain
 Again Warned

Berlin, Jan. 21.-UP)-1nspired newspapers hinted at new and de- vaStating blows at Great Britain to- day with the Mediterranean as the first field of activity but complete Axis victory as the ultimate result.
 They and well informed quarters gave the impression that the meet ing between Adolf Hitler and Benito MuSsolini had marked a new point for war developments but that plans for these developments were still to be worked out.
 Spokesmen refused comment on all reports-that military questions had been foremost in discussions, that Germany and Italy had agreed on unified war command as the result of which, presumably, Ger man military chieftains would di- rect a joint campaign against Bri- tain in the Mediterranean.
 However generalized their articles were, the inspired newspapers were so pre-occupied with them, and with articles on other topics, that only two found room even to mention

There were half dozen versions of the Rumanian situation = none 1 o fthem from Bnucharest direct. The Rumanian capital has been cut off from telephonic communication with Zurich, Switzerland, chief European news clearance points, since mid night Sunday.
 Here is the Rumanian situation as various capitals reported it:
 Bulgaria Reports
 Sofia Bulgaria, Jan. 21.-CUP)- Reliable sources reported today that serious disturbances had broken out in Bucharest as the result of quar- rels between factions of the Ru- manian Iron Guard, equivalent to the Nazi party in Germany or the Fascist party in Italy.
 At the same time it was reported that some German troops stationed in the vicinity of the Rumanian- Bulgarian frontier area had been withdrawn. Informants expressed belief that they had been sent toward the Jugoslav frontier but that some of them might have been sent to Bucharest.
 Reports which reached here from Rusthuk on the Bulgarian side of the frontier were that several per- sons, including civilians, Rumanian soldiers and at least one foreign army officer, were killed in Buchar- est by bombs thrown or set as the result of the Iron Guardist quarrels.
 Little news came direct from Bucharest but a United Press dis patch from there last night said that Ion Petrovitchescu had re- signed as minister of interior and had been replaced by Gen. Dumi- triu Popescu. In Rumania, as in other continental countries, the ministry of interior is the police authority.
 According to reports which reached Rustchuk the Iron Guardist quarrels broke out between radical and moderate factions. The 7adi- calls, it was said asserted that the moderates had failed to carry 61t, since they obtained such great ir- fluence in the country, the reforms advocated by the late Zelea Co., dreanu, Iron Guard leader, who

Four Rescued Men Are
 Telling Of Sea Horror
pedoed By Italian Boat-Adrift Is Days in North Atlantic

An East Canadian Port, Jan. 21.- (UP)-Four men are recovering to- day from the cold, hunger, thirst and despair of IS days of drifting in an open lifeboat in the North Atlantic which killed 12 compan- ions.
 They were from the crew of the British freighter Carleton, torpedoed by an Italian submarine several hundred miles west of Ireland, De- cember 20. They reached here last night, weak, emaciated and frost bitten, aboard freighter which had sighted their little boat none toe soon.
 The freighter had had to hoist them aboard in boSun chairs. They had been too weak to do more than lie in the lifeboat and watch, but they had not given up hope, be- cause they hda seen several of thell companions go insane and die from succumbing to despair.
 This was their story, as related by John A. Pearson, "A, who before the war was truck driver in Lon- don.
 About 7::30 a. m. on December 20 when the rest of the world was pre- pairing for the Christmas holidays submarine popped up alongside the little freighter.

 "We zig-zagged all morning. Wt potted at her periscope with tht Hotchkiss but didn't hit it. About noon she got in the right position I guess, and let us have it. There was an explosion that seemed tt come from under No. 2 hatch ane the ship started to settle. She wen down with swish when we were about 50 yards away Gin the life boat).
