 The note itself did not specify Lais' connection with the sabotage operations, But Hull said that the note was in connection with in- juries done to Q great many Italian vessels in United States harbors.
 There has been allegations in other quarters that the attache had directed or transmitted orders re- garding the sabotage.

 The committee worked far into the night yesterday on the measure lone of Gov. Hurley's must" bills an dlinally decided 1t could not de- solve It's differences ct this time. Judiciary law clerks were given the bill today to make certain changes,
 Thechief point at issue was Q fea- ture giving the board powers of judge, prosecutor and investigator. Some members said that was the trouble with the national labor re- lations board, and sought to break down the pwers of the prposed local board.
 The bill tentatively provided for appointment of three members with not more than two from the same party. Salaries would be eS000 aza- nually, with e6000 for the chairman,
 It appeared there would be floor light o nthe measure when 1t is re- ported out by the committee. Some House republicans said the measure was inadyisable ct this time, and would encourage, rather than dis courage, labor strife.

 The interim premier was one of .Teleki's closet friends.

 Flags on public buildings were lowered to half staff as soon as the news of his deatah was made known.
 The news spread with amazing rapidity through Budapest and pe- sdestrians gathered in small groups 1n the streets to discuss 1t.
 The newspaper u Nemzeked said of Teleki's death:
 Tt can not be foreseen what will be the consequences of this Individual tragedy, which is threat ening now to become then tragedy of 6 nation, or in what situation 1t will place the responsible guar dians of Hungarian security.

 when German forces moved into Bulgaria, the German garrisons in the Banat ares held their ground and were not shifted. At that time, It was said, residents of the region came to the conclusion that the Banat forces had a different assign ment from that of the other troops In Rumania.
 The German forces here are dis. posed close to the Danube river along the entire 1l0 mile stretch. Some of the troops are directly across the Danube from Jugoslavia. Others are a few miles back.
 Their disposition is such that if an order to advance were given their line of attack probably would enc able them to threaten Belgrade's communications lines southward toward Serbia.

(UP)-Jugoslavia completed emer- gency defense preparations today and awaited Qermany's reply to an exposition of its foreign policy which, 1t was learned, was forwarded to Berlin Monday night through Victor von Heeren, the German minister to Belgrade.

 The government removed the mid- night curfew which 1t had imposed on restaurants, cabarets and cafes.
 It was understood that 1t was now drafting special measures to assure adequate farm labor in view of the fact that thousands of farm work. CTS had been called to the colors.
 Continuing Q firm stand against the German war of nerves, news- papers denounced German allega- tions of terrorism against the Ger man minority.
 "This campaign in the last few days has taken on systematic form and growing intensity" said the leading newspaper, Politika. 'The aim is not difficult to understand. But 1t is not difficult either to fore- see that undesirable consequences will result from It's continuation at the same intensity."
 Moscow, April S-(Up)-The au. thoritative army newspaper organ Red Star in the first Russian com- riaent on the Jugoslav situation, said today that the Jugoslay coup had changed the Balkan situation and initiated . new phase in south- eastern Europe,
 Without expressly stating the Russian government attitude, the newspaper cited, however, the Ju- goslav government declaration of "the determined will of the people to preserve and defend the coun- try's independence"
 It also mentioned German charges of atrocities and said that the Ju- goslav government denied them and declared them fahricationS."
 Jugoslav events had snbstantial- ly heightened Greek morale, the newspaper continued,
 Then 1t quoted the Turkish news paper ulus:
 Tt is hoped the new Jugoslay government, resuming Q policy of neutrality, will not make any con- sessions concerning independence and freedom. Turkeys opinion CO., incides on this."
 The navy organ Red Fleet conl- Inented similarly and emphasized the importance of British naval vic- tories.
