able to get the leaders of Pro and
Roosevelt Democrats to agree
/ TO a compromise proposal which
/ he believed would give the voters a
chance to express themselves di-
rectly on the Texas elector dispute.
! The Governor proposed that the
names OF the % electors nominated
by both factions be put on the No
vember election ballot in the Demo-
cratic column, plainly labeled Pro
and Anti-RooSeVelt.
This is a party dispute" he said,
and the party should settle it. We
should not make it necessary for
any Democrat to vote for any but
the Democratic ticket"
The Governor said that he had
not given up hope of working out a
solution to the problem prior to the
September II State convention at
Dallas, and that he planned to
continue conferences not only with
faction leaders but with others
whom he considered to hold i'm
partial views
Gov. Stevenson yesterday indi-
Gated for the first time that ne had
assumed the role of peacemaker in
an attempt to heal the breach in
the Texas party, split into Pro and
Anti-Roosevelt factions since the

New Government Formed.
The German DNB Agency, how
ever today reported formation of q
new government under Constantine
Muraviev, saying he and his new
foreign minister, Petko Stainov
were both known leftists.
MuraVieV, who has a pro- Allied
past, is remembered in London as
war minister of the strongly pro-
Allied Alexander Stambolisky cab
met OF 1923. Stambolisky was killed
by military clique and Muraviev
himself narrowly escaped assassi-
nation in 1881 when he was minister
OF education. He was interned in
1884 for opposing the government
policy.
Stainov, also an active opponent
OF the pro-German policy, was Min
lister to France in 1884 and recently
law professor at Sofia University
1t was not yet apparent whether
this new government would be ac-
ceptable to Moscow, whose sharu
press attacks on the Bulgarian at
titude preceded the fall of the
Bagrianov cabinet.
Now Looks to Moscow.
Bulgaria has been careful to steer
entirely clear of Germany's war
against Russia, even though she
accepted Greek and Yugoslav ter
ritory from the Germans and got
slice of Romania under German
pressure. Now she is looking to
Moscow in hope of getting a tenn
perate peace with Britain and the
United States.
The other German satellites also
appeared on the verge of Develop

Stating that the armed services
have been unable to obtain sufficient
supplies. the War Food Administra-
ton yesterday ordered slaughterers
operating under Federal inspection
to set aside 60 per cent instead of
the present SO per cent of Army
style beef for the Government.
The order also increases from 25
to 35 per cent the kosher slaughter
set aside for Government use.
Civilian supplies of the better
grades of beef will be proportion
ately reduced for the time being
However, with cattle marketings
expected to increase sharply during
the next several weeks, the Gov

dant supply of lower grades of beef
for civilians during the fall and

said, that 1t was no longer necessary
to hold back complete reversal
of foreign policy. In April military

At the end of May the Germans
had some 100000 troops in Romania
At the front were 100000: in re-
serve, $4,000 more; $4,000 around
Bucharest, and the rest throughout
the country. Nine armored divi-
SlonS were included in this total.
and aside from all these there were
5000 civilian Germans disguised
as tourists businessmen or Journal
lists, the troops were so arranged
that they encircled the Romanian
Army. and the outlook for the plot
tors did not seem promising.
The Communists proposed imme-
/ dlate upriSings and direct action.
The King agreed. 1t was decided to
mobilize all patriotic forces and set
up military committee. The plot
ters also decided to get in touch
with the Allies.
BY late May or early June solid
front of parties opposed to Hitler
and Antonescu was established, and
on June 20, the national democratic
bloc issued its declaration.
Instrument for Overthrow.
Thus" said Patrascanu, himself
Communist party member for 25
years. was created the instrument
to overthrow Antonescu."
On August % the bloc held an
other meeting with the King presid-
ing, and August 26 was named as
the day for a coup, because An
tonescu had arranged a palace in
| tervieW for that day.
But the Premier showed up three
days early. All parties got busy.
When the dramatic moment came.
the young King looked calmly at his
unWanted Premier, and ordered him
to conclude an armistice with the
Allies or resign. Antonescu refused
fatty.
Immediately the King placed him
under arrest along with his BODY
guard and personal party, and dur

the King issued proclamation

Two German generals rushed into
the palace at am. the following
day. The King was unimpressed.
He told them in strong language
what had happened. They prom
lsed to withdraw troops without
reprisals and took two Romanian
generals with them to help carry
out the withdrawal.

British Cite Weakness.
Many arguments were raised
against the chances that this hy-
brid would prove an effective
weapon. One press report said the
two which struck England went
only $50 miles an hour. Lack of
maneuverability, lack of accuracy
manufacturing expense and general
vulnerability to air and ground at
tack were also mentioned as points
against it
An RAF fighter shot down the
Observation-Disclosures combination
sighted over Normandy last month
and said it made "a beautiful
target"
The device seems to be an ex-
tension Of the glider bomb which
was used with some success against
Allied shipping in the Mediter
ranean before successful counter
measures were evolved That bomb
in l,l00 and 5000 pound versions
was launched from Heinkel. Junkers
or Dornier parent planes which
controlled it by radio for distances
up to miles.
AS far as is known, the remote
control principle is not applied tc
the samples used last night, or, if so
1t was not successful Thus fal
remote control has been effective
only SO long as the operator could
keep the controlled plane in sight
If the Germans had enough
fighters and bonbers to spare for
rigging up these pick-a- back teams
in quantity they might conceivably
get through and do some damage
but the feeling here was that if
they had enough bombers they
could make better use of them in
an orthodox attack.
In favor of the new weapon is

New German Secret Weapon
Hits Britain With No Loss
BY the Associated Press.

by the ASSoclateC Press.
LONDON, Sept. 2.-The Germans
steered two explosive packed air
craft against England last night in
their first known blow at this coun-
try with a new freak terror weapon
controlled by a pick back pilot
plane.
The general opinion was that this
was not the highly-advertised ven
geance weapon No. g." but possibly
substitute.
The Air and Home Security Min
lstrles, identifying the queer ma
chimes as probably slower compon-
ents of composite aircraft" said
they did little damage and caused
no casualties.
The new weapon aroused no fears
here, and there was even some faint
hope that resort to so unWieldly and
costly a device might be a tacit
admission by the Germans that
their "V-2' had failed as a sue
cesSor to the robot bombs.
Robot Attacks Cease.
With the robot bopb-launching
coast being rapidly overrun by Al
he'd armies in France, the robot
attack on London ceased for many
hours.
None of the bombs fell in Britain
today and the last flying bomb re-
ported was a solitary one which fell

two which landed in England fell
in an open field and caused a very
