Runlanian Troops
Put Down Revolt
With German Help
BY HAROLD PETERS

BUCHAREST, Jan. %. up
Balkan diplomatic reports indicated
today that the Rumanian army,
with assistance of German soldiers,
had gained control over a dangerous
situation in Bucharest and the pro-
vinces after street fighting in Bu-
charest, and perhaps in some pro-
vincial cities, with dissldent mem
bers of the Nazi-like Iron Guard.
There were reports that condi-
tions approaching anarchy obtained
in some parts of the country and,
as usually reliable Belgrade source
put it, the Germans were virtually
the only factors now able to main
tain order in some trouble areas.
A Budapest newspaper reported
that Iron Guardists had captured
the Bucharest radio and broadcast
a manifesto appealing to the army
not to fire on the Iron Guard bro
therS."
It was indicated, however that
though the Iron Guard might at one
time have seized or attempted to
seize the radio, the army was now In
firm control of the capital.
According to diplomatic dispatch
es fighting broke out in Bucharest
when Gen. Ion Antonescu, the pre-
mier. dismissed Iron GuardistS In
the police department.

British Suppress
Red Publications

LONDON, Jan. %. CUP)-Home
Security Minister Herbert Morrison
said in the House of Commons to-
day that the Daily Worker and the
Week, Communist publications which
were suppressed yesterday, sought
deliberately to undermine democra-
tic, constitutional government in
the fantastic hope" of establishing
a Communist dictatorship.
Morrison told William Gallagher,
Communist member of parliament
for Fife, that the Communist pub
lications were suppressed because
they attempted continually to ham,
per Britain's war effort. He said the
Daily Worker reversed its policy
in 1899 and sought by misrepresen-
tation to show the British people
that they had nothing to gain by

Following the fall of Tobruk,
the British army's next objective
in its westward push through Libya,
will be the port of Derna, about 80
miles further along the Mediter-
ranean coast. The intervening ter
ritory should present no serious
obstacle to the mechanical units
of the advancing force.
Reconnaissance planes have re-
ported that the italian have de-
serted the Derna airdromes, which
may indicate Marshal Graz ami does
not intend to use the port for
q major defense. It is a small city,
of no military value except for
it's abundant springs, which are
sare in Libya
There is reason to believe that
the principal Italian stand in the
made at Benghazi, the chief sup
ply center of Graziani's operations
1t seems evident that the sacri-
fices the marshal has ordered by
defending Tobruk and Bardia a.

Of Benghazi.
1t is 200 miles by the curveo
coastal road from Derna to Beng

fore Benghazi, the British would bt
some 500 miles west of their origi-
nal railhead base of Mersa Matruh
in Egypt, where the present often
slve began.
That normally would be a severe
strain on the British line of COM
munications, but Britains nava
command Of the Mediterranean
permits the use of transports car
rying supplies along the Libyar
coast. Tobruk, itself, has the best
natural harbor in Libya, making
the port an admirable base fol
receiving supplies.
The British, too. are amply sup

It is too too difficult to keep

of people who want to be free
who dare fight for freedom, not
only for themselves but for all Of
this large group of neglected min

seeing souls may never bear wit
ness to the delights of days with
out cares and nights without want
and grief. If the heads of the
families just in the project, being
well aware of the problem at hand,
would give it intense consideration
there would come forth enmasse
approximately 125 utterances of
desire for freedom and fair play.
We all can do something to help.
Those 125 utterances could evolve
