Intensity Drive
To Clear State

State Director of Selective Ser
vice, Col. Lawrence w. Long,
stated that the effort to clear the
State of Mississippi of all delin-
quents within the next so days
is now being Intensified. Anyone

gently requested to inform Local
Board No. ] at Pascagopla, Miss,

sands of others are making the
supreme sacrifice, Colonel Long
said. Many of the $50 deiin-
quent registrants in Mississip-
pi are delinquent through ig-
norance of the laws These, of
course. will be indicted in.o the
armed forces; thereby clearing
themselves of the delinquency.
This can only be done if they
are cleared Immediately, he add
ed.
Others, however, may be will
fully delinquent. In these cases,
the registrants may face a serious
Federal charge, and if convicted,
a term in The Federal penitenti-
airy.
1t is the duty of the citizens of
the State of Mississippi to coop
crate with State Headquarters of
Selective Service in helping to
clear out this undesirable situa-

State Department Hit!
Dewey's Implication
On Romanian Truce

Gov. Thomas E. Deweys impli-
cation that the Romanian armistice
terms were signed on behalf of the
United States by a Russian ofncer
before Secretary Of State Hull knew
their contents has brought from the
State Department the reply that
this country took part in the nego-
tiations 'at all stages"
Moreover, the department an
nounced In statement yesterday
afternoon, the pattern for Soviet
Marshal r. Y. Malinovski's signing
on behalf Of this country was set
long before-when Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower signed for Russia after
Italy capitulated. The United States
had no troops in Romania, just as
Russia had none in Italy.
Gov. Dewey, in a speech In New
York Wednesday night, said the
agreement was no mere military
armistice, but treaty disposing of
Bessarabia and Transylvania. The
State Department disputed this,
saying that the Transylvanian ques-
ton was held over for later discus
sion and that the agreement on
Bessarabia merely restored the
frontiers of 1910.
With regard to Gov. Dewey's i'm
plication that Mr.. Hull did not know
the terms of the Romanian armi-
stice until after it was signed by
Marshal Malinovski, the State De-
partment said:
when the Secretary of State, at
his press and radio news conference
on September 13, announced that
the Romanian armistice had been
agreed to and indicated that he had
not received it's contents, he, of
course, referred to the final, official
text, the provisions of which had
been agreed to by this Governments S
representative on the basis of his
specific instructions from this Gov
ernment and the discussions in
which the department had partici-
pated."
The administration made no an
swer to Gov. Dewey's charge that
the policy toward Italy, Poland,
Germany and France had been
bungled.
