Big 4 Ministers Agree
To Give Transy|vania
Back 10 Romanians
Other Boundary Changes
Since 1888 Are Listed
For Puris Discussion
BY the Assoeioied Press

PARIS, May THE Foreign
Ministers Council agreed today
to restore Pennsylvania to Ro-
mania and to list for discus
sion Romania's other boundary
changes since 1898, but broke up
the morning session in disagree
ment over other issues involving
the Black Sea country, British
informant said.
The decision of the Foreign Min
listers of Russia, Britain, France and
the United States to restore Tran
sylvania to Romania annulled the
1910 dictate of Hitler and Mussolini
at Vienna which awarded most of
that territory to Hungary.
Earlier, British sources said the
Foreign Ministers had agreed to re-
store Romania to all her 1888
boundaries.
This would include the return to
her of Dobrudja, which she handed
over to Bulgaria in 1910. and Bes-
sarabia, which was occupied by Rus
STA in 1910 and annexed in 1914
Bessarabia was not specifically
mentioned, however, and the minis
tiers referred the matter to their
deputies for precise wording.
Hungary, by the terms of her sur
render to the Allies, already had
agreed to return Pennsylvania to
Romania.
Bulgarian Discussion Set.
The ministers scheduled a meeting
for late afternoon to start dis
cussion OF the Bulgarian treaty
which involves that country's re-
quest for cession of Western Thrace
by Greece and Bulgarian access tt
the Aegean Sea.
What was described as a bitter
argument arose between British
Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin and
Secretary of State Byrnes on the
one side and Foreign Minister Molo-
tov of Russia on the other when
Britain and America insisted on
freedom of navigation of the Dan
ube, vital commercial artery of
Southeastern Europe, and on free
dom of trade for all Nations in
Romania.
Mr.. Molotov said the Soviet dele
cation was mot interested" in dis
cussing the matters and that the
ministers should pass on to the
next item.
Mr.. Bevin had suggested holding
conference on the Danube within
six months after signing the peace
treaties, British informants said.
He suggested that Britain, France
Russia, the United States and the
Danubian countries be invited tt
such conference. But. Mr.. Moloto,
countered that it was strictly a Cen.
tral European problem and, in any
case, it should be discussed through
diplomatic channels.
Proposing equal trade rights for al
in Romania, Mr.. Byrnes recalled
that Britain, Russia and the. Unitee
States agreed at Potsdam on equa

Loan Debate Shows
America at 'Meonest

MIDDLEsBRoUGH, Eng

Labor member of the House of
Commons, today said the United
States Senate debate on the
proposed loan to Britain showed
America at it's "meanest hour"

tour of the United States and
Canada, he told a women's
luncheon club that lone Won

putting up such pitiable ex-
hibition in the American Sem

those voting, few thought cloture
had any chance in vote scheduled
for pm. today.
With that out of the way, Senator
johnson said he can see no reason
why a showdown should not come
by tomorrow at the latest on an
amendment offered by Senator Nc
Farland, Democrat, of Arizona.
Lucas Wants Strike Action.
However, Senator Lucas, Demo-
crat, of Illinois has said he may move
to lay aside the loan bill to get Sen
ate consideration of legislation he
thinks might be helpful in ending
the coal strike.
Senator Mcfarland proposes thai
the British be denied any fund.
under the loan until they give thi.
country title to Atlantic military
bases and open other areas on Brit
ish soil to American Commercial
activities.
Loan supporters have said adop-
ton of this amendment would Kill
the loan. But Senator johnson
thinks that is not necessarily so.
With Senator johnson holding
the floor Senator Brewster, Repub.
lican, of Maine interrupted yester-
day to say that former President
Hoover, Jesse Jones, Bernard M
Baruch and Leo Crowley ought tt
have been called by the Banking
Committee to tell how they fell
about the loan. All four were re.
ported opposed.
Volunteer Testimony Asked.
Senator Taft, Republican, ot
Ohio said he had asked that they
be requested to appear, but that
the invitations asked only whether
they wished to volunteer" testi-
mony.
Senator Johnson told his col.
leagues that if the United States be.
gins lending money in large sums tt
other nations, democracy in thi.
country may become bankrupt.
A loan to Britain, he said, is Ger.
tain to be followed by pleas for SIM
liar advances to Russia, France

tions. The Colorado Senator sale
he does not think there is enough
money in American vaults tc

Declaring that Britain is spending
81. 1864, ,000, 900 on rearmament, Sen
ator johnson said a disarmament
conference should be called before
loan is made.

Foes of the $3.50, 900, 900 Brit
ish loan proposal displayed their
willingness today for an early
test vote-possibly tomorrow.
Senator johnson, Democrat, of
Colorado, one of the chief loan
opponents, told newsmen he thinks
general debate will be over when
the Senate has heard from Senators
Stewart, Democrat. of Tennessee;
Revercomb, Republican, of West
Virginia, and Fulbright, Democrat.
of Arkansas. Senator Fulbright
supports the credit plan, the others
oppose it.
Senator johnson brushed aside as
"a juvenile attempt at getting some
publicity" a petition by the meas
ure's hackers to put gag on de-
bate by invoking "cloture"-a rarely
used Senate rule which limits each

Power Limited to
24Hours q Week

Theaters and other amuse-
ment places in suburban Vir-
ginia will be darkened, effective
at midnight Thursday, and all
but essential businesses will be
limited to "a hours of electric
power a week under an order
issued by the Virginia Corpora
ton Commission today.
More drastic even than recon-
mendations of the Virginia Electric
& Power Co., the order was issued
after Vepco officials estimated less
than 20 days coal supply was on
hand, unless there was curtailment
in power consumption.
The order affects Alexandria, Ar
lington County and all the 63 coun-
ties served by Vepco and the Brad
dock Light & Power Co.
Picture Slightly Brighter Here.
AS Virginia struggled to conserve
its dwindling stocks of coal and
Solid Fuels Administrator Krug an
nounced severe restrictions of soft
coal purchases, the District picture
grew slightly brighter.
Through the expedient of elm
mating auxiliary service to Vepco
plus benefits of a "brownout" now
in its fourth day and the promise
of an additional 100 cars of coal
from the Solid Fuels Administra-
ton, the Potomac Electric Power
Co. announced it probably can op-
crate into the second week of June.
Cutting off the supply to nearby
Vepco facilities at o'clock tonight
will save about 80 tons of coal a
day and increase the District
power supply 10 or Is per cent, OFF,
cials said. At the same time,
Vepco customers in nearby Vir-
ginia will not suffer from the move,
since the new ration plan will more
than compensate for the loss.
The Pepco potential coal supply
was increased to 275 carloads with
the Government allotment of 100
additional cars today to go with
the ITS offered last week. First of
the ITS carloads is expected here
early next week.
Rationing Seen Next Winter.

now, Mr.. Krug's order barred do

customer has less than five days
supply based on actual needs.
In the Virginia rationing. the
blackout on amusement applies to
&lch places as movies, ball parks,
bowling alleys, poolrooms and SINH
lar spots. The 24-hour limitation
for nonessential business applies to
all consumers not listed in five pri-
ority groups, such as newspapers,
radio stations and general office
buildings.
Domestic consumers, including
hotels, hospitals, asylums and rail-
way or steamboat stations are ex-
empt from the order, as well as
public utilities, producers, manufac-
turers and storers of food products

Federal Mediator Paul w
Fuller said this afternoon he had
made a proposal for breaking
deadlocked negotiations and
ending the 37-day soft coal strike
which the operators and John L
Lewis United Mine Workers
were considering. but the opera
tors later denied any strike

made to them.
Mr.. Fuller emerged from a two

proposition, details of which he re-
fused to divulge. 1t was the Gov
