 Belgrade heard the rumor that Dragisha Cvetkovitch, premier, and Alexander Cincar-M -Markovitch, for eign minister, of Jugoslavia had been summoned to go to Germany within the next few days to discuss "the future of German-JugoSlav col Liberation"
 This report, and that regarding a Greek rejection on German peace pressure, fitted iIf with continued reports of German troop concen- trations in Rumanfa and infiltra- tions of Bulgaria.
 It was estimated at Budapest that 100 big German transport planes flew over there yesterday on the way toward Rumania and Bulgaria.
 A neutral diplomat who arrived from Rumania said that it was taken for granted there that Ger many days ago had 30,0OO men in Bulgaria and that it was believed that a German move into Bulgaria would come soon.
 This informant said that the be- lief was current in Bucharest that all Bulgarian airportS were in Ger man hands.
 This diplomat expressed belief that Germany would start putting pressure On Greece by suddenly disclosing" the presence of strong forces within striking distance of it.
 Reports came indirectly from So- fla that Premier Bogdan Filoff of Bulgaria had explained to leaders of the political opposition that Ger man "technicians" were at Bulgar- ian airdromes in the mutual in- terest of Germany and Bulgaria.
 It was reported from Istanbul that Bulgaria was calling troops to the colorS and had sent two new divisions to the Turkish and Jugo- slav frontiers on defensive assign ment in case German troops marched into Bulgaria. Istanbul heard reports from Rumania that Rumanian troops would guard the Russian frontier in event of Ger man march into Bulgaria.
 A report was started last night that Britain had declared war on Rumania. The report promptly was denied here and later a denial came from Bucharest. Budapest first heard the report, from German source.
 The Balkan situation was regard ed here as linked with the confer ence between Generalissimo Fran cisco Franco of Spain and Mussolini and between Franco and Marshal Philippe Petain of France.
 It was suggested that Germany and Italy had to do something to offset Italy's defeats.
 Whether the something" came in

Then the party drove to Mentone, across the Franco Italin frontier, where he was well comed by an Italian reception com mittee headed by Count Celesia di Veglisasco, Italian foreign office chief of protocol.
 At 10 a. m. yesterday Franco, ac- companied by Gen. Jose Moscardo and his foreign minister, Ramon Serrano Suner. drove to the Villa Siger. There Franco, Mussolin and Suner conferred for 312 hours.
 A second conversation, which lasted for 90 minutes, was held at Mortala, seven miles from Bogdi- ghera in the Mortala gardens, the most famous on the Rivera.

 National Committee, Chairman Joseph w. Martin, Jr., emphasized that in an address in Washington where he shared the patform with District Attorney Thomas E. Dew ey of New York, another unSucceSS- full candidate for the 1940 G. O. P. nomination. Dewey avoided the brewing intra-party dispute, urged the party to favor all-out aid to Britain, and warned while doing so i've must preserve freedom at home"
 Most of the Lincoln day speakers concentrated upon attacking New Deal domestic policies. Willkie said the New Deal Party" is party without faith in the people; that i've have a party in power that does not understand the basic Lffunction of the free enterprise system" He conceded, however, that the Roosevelt administration "at last" has graSped the meaning of CIlG 1IlUGTI1dtIUIIdI SkLudbAO1l
 Major Speakers Heard
 Other quotes from major speak CTS:
 Dewey = "The Republican party stands for the strongest military and naval forces our nation can produce and all out aid to the heroic people of Great Britain. By the same token, we believe that in rendering such aid we must do so within the Gemocratic process or we destroy the very purpose of the act.
 Aaft-"I do not believe that ques- tionS of foreign affairs should be dealt with on partisan basis and I resent very much the implication that Rpublicans are doing so if politics is playing any part, it is the other way"
 Sen. H. Styles Bridges, R., N. H. We have seen our people take some bitter pills these last eight years. We must console them with the truth that the Republican par ty will again be writing the pre- scriptions."
 Clare Booth, author, at New York-"If the Republican party does not soon recover some measure of it's historic robust health, it will never again elect another president it (the G. O. P) is acting al- most entirely on the childish pre- mise that everything the New Deal does is wrong . the Republican party is committing hari-kari with the sharp knife of a great political inconsistency"
 Martin-"The G. O. P. shall not be merely a party of opposition; we gladly jo-n in support of those mea- srlres which we believe are for the welfare of our country: we do not hesitate to oppose measures which we believe are against the welfare of the country America wants no dictatorship!"

Bamboo
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

BamboOs are giant grasses. They
are cousins to corn, wheat, oats,
barley and rye. You can see why
this is so, as all of them have more
or less rounded stems divided into
Joints, each joint marking the point
where there is transverse parti-
ton.
Few of us realize what interesting
plants bamboos are. We have some
flouriShing bamboo groves in the
United States. There are more
than 400 species found throughout
the world, but only two of these are
native to our country. They con-
stitute the so-called canebrakes CT
our Southern States, and there is
probably no other group Of plants
so widely and generally known as
these giant grasses.
Actually, the importance of bam-
boo is hardly realized in this coun-
try, but it is estimated that one
half billion people are dependent
on the plant in one way or another
in the climates where it grows so
profusely.
Bamboos produce flowers and
seeds resembling those of grains
like the barley and rye. But with
most bamboos, the flower and seed
production is found at very rare in
tervals-from so to 100 years elaps-
Ing between the occasions. Many
bamboos die after the Towering. so
1t Is really most fortunate that
these giant grasses have perfected
another way Of perpetuating them
selves
Shoots from old established
groves grow with wonderful rapid
ity, and in some places may reach
a height of so to 10 feet in three TO
four weeks.
Bamboos thrive in mild climate
and none are found native to cold
er, temperate regions. Our two ma
tive species appear in our Southern
States south of Virginia and west
ward to Southern Missouri.
Washington d. c. has some very
hourishing groups OF bamboo, and 1t
Is surprising that more of these
tropical happening grasses are not
used. They should be planted where
they have some protection against
the cold winds. If killed by sud-
den freeze, new sprouts will follow
the coming spring.
Because these plants are OF such
importance and beauty they have
furnished many a theme for poem,
song and story. In some countries
this plant is revered and impressive
ceremonies are held each year in its
honor.
Timber bamboo makes beauti-
ful evergreen ornamental, which |
furnishes fine shade in summer, and |
protection against the cold, raw
winds and storms that sometimes
occur in the South in winter.
Where this grass IS grown on a
large scale, its uses fall into three
main groups: Domestic purposes
about the farm and home; COM
mercial production for manufactur-
Ing and producing materials Tor

The Navy Department has listed
a sample Thanksgiving dinner menu
that should prove to parents ana
friends that the officers and enlist
ed men who don't get home Tor the

proximately 3O4 900 wearers OF the
Navy blue will consume about 360,-
900 pounds Of turkey.
Here are some Of the items listed
On q typical ships Thanksgiving
menu: Oyster, shrimp or fruit
cocktail; celery. olives, radishes,
sweet mixed pickles. salteens; chick

they can be for beauty alone or for
Windbreaks, where they are very
important in sheltering trees that
go down with hurricanes.
Along the South Atlantic and
Gulf Coast States the edible bam-
boo is fast becoming popular. The
young shoots in spring furnish
delicious, tender vegetable or salad,
and what is left growing serves
later in"a great many ways in the
garden for stalking flowers and
vegetables.
Because they spread rapidly and
in all directions, the hardy bamboos
must be given ample room in which
to grow. Care must be taken when
you make the bamboo a permanent
resident of your garden.
