matching funds on a dollar for dol
lar basis rather than 40 per cent

be fixed at 5000 900 900 for the old
Federal-aid highway system, $l25,-
600. 900 for farm-to-market roads
and S125 900 900 for urban highways

ing State payments. costing $2,825,-

Gov. Dewey told newsmen his two

the regulatory agencies of the
Government have not only attempt

In response to a question, the
Governor said there was lengthy

felt it was q serious threat. He said
the cattlemen joined in expressing
the hope that the Nations foreign

beef in that picture. AS matter OF
fact, he added, this country can and
does produce surplus of beef.
Gov. Dewey said that, coming as
close as We are to the end of the

Of how to handle the large stock o1

Terms Considered
Relatively Lenient
N the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
Armistice terms for Bulgaria are
being completed by the Anglo
American. Soviet European Advisory
Commission, 1t was reported today.
They are expected to be tougher
than those imposed on Romanta,
because Bulgaria was slower to turn
against Germany.
The 20-point Romanian armistice,
signed In Moscow and announced by
the three Allied governments, Is
considered here to be relatively
lenient. This is attributed to the
fact that when Romania broke with
Germany. August "A, her troops I'M
mediately joined the Russian forces.
In Line With Allied Promises.
This Is regarded as coinciding with
Allied promises to Nazi satellites
that their postwar existence would
be made easier by the extent they
aided the Allied cause. Specifically It
Is expected to have some effect on
Austria, which has become the tar
get Of Allied appeals to revolt.
Although the Romanian terms Of
fer clues to the fate of the Mani
satellites, it can be stated on high
authority that they bear little re-
semblance to Allied plans for the
Reich itself. Germany wilr be under
rigid military government and will
be fully occupied by United Nations
armies. She will have to pay stiff
reparations. None of these condi-
tions was applied to Romania.
Main Provisions.
The main provisions Of the Ro-
manian armistice.
$500, 0,000. 900 worth of reparations
In oil, timber. machinery. and the
like to be given Russia over q six
year period.
Agreement that Russia will keep
Bessarabia and northern Bucovina
which she obtained by 1910 from
tier settlement.
That Romania will return all
United Nations property she has
taken.
That she will rid herself COM
pletely of Fascism and Fascist type
organizations.
On the other side of the ledger
Romanfa regains Transylvania
which Hitler assigned to Hungary
in 1910. This Is subject to confirma-
ton in the postwar peace settlement
Also Romania escapes military occu-
patton and government, although
she agrees to supply Russian troops
with such facilities and supplies as
may be necessary for the war on
Germany.
Control Commission Created.
As in the case of Italy. whose
armistice agreement had not yet
been made public, an Allied control
commission Russian, British, Amer
ican) is created for Romania with
the specific duty of seeing that the
armistice terms are obeyed.

a right to be dissatisfied with the

On behalf of Britain. Russia and
the United States. the armistice
was signed by Soviet Marshal
Rodion Y. Malinovsky. The sign
ing was completed almost three
weeks after Romanian troops had
joined the Russians in fighting the
Germans and Hungarians so that

he is so much better known to the
Younger generation. having been ir

also have felt the Presidents posi-

not be replaced in time of war.

no plans for visiting military camps
