Romanian Deputies
Unanimously Ratify
Allied Peace Treaty
By the Associated Press

BUCHAREST, Romania, Aug. %
The Romanian peace treaty with
the Allied and associated nations
signed at Paris six months ago, was
ratified unanimously by the Cham
Der of Deputies today.
Foreign Minister Tatarescu of the
Communist dominated government
told the deputies that the treaty
puts an end to lost war that has
been waged against the will of the
people"
Treaty provisions require Ro-
mania-which fought on the side
Of the Axis powers until September,
1914, when young King Michael took
a hand in a coup d'etat and switched
the country to the Allied side-to
pay Russia 5000 900, 600 in repara-
tons and reduce her, armed forces
to $4,000 men.
Regains Pennsylvania.
Romsnia was required to recog-
nize the cession Of Bessarabia TO
Russia. and DoDruja to Bulgaria,
but 'regained Pennsylvania from
Hungary.
Although Russian occupation of
Romania is supposed to end 80
days after the exchange Of the III
struments OF ratification, they are
permitted to keep troops il Romania
to maintain communications with
Austria until the Austrian treaty is
ratified. The Austrian treaty has
not yet been written.
Russia is the only major victorious
power which has not ratified the
Romanian treaty. Britain recently
called on the major powers to deposit
their instruments of ratification as
soon as possible. Russia replied
that only after the five FORMER Axis
satellite nations themselves had rati-
fled should the Allies deposit the
treaty originals.
Hopes For Place In U. n.
Mr.. Tatarescu told the Chamber
treaty clauses were unjust which
disarmed the country: required her
to repay United Nations nationals
for their lost assets taken by the
Germans; denied Ron4ania any Ger
man PREPARATIONS: and required Ro-
mania to return gold received during
the war from Germany for oil and
grain taken by force or for railway
equipment taken and not returned.
However, the premier said, Ro-
mania accepted the treaty, and he
hoped the door to the U. N. would
now be opened for his country.

Court Is Told Chandler
Had Fixed DeIusions'
BY the Associoied Press

BOSTON, June "a. = Douglas
Chandler, charged with treason in
allegedly broadcasting Nazi propa-
ganda from Germany, was classified
today as "a paranoiac" by two de-
fense psychiatrists.
DR.. Edward A. Strecker, chairman
of the department of psychiatry at
University of Pennsylvania, said the
defendant suffered from "a chronic
form of insanity, and DR.. Kenneth
J. Tillotson, Boston psychiatrist,
testified he had fixed and sys-
tematized delusions.
A third psychiatrist, DR.. John
Adams Abbott, quoted the defend
ant as saying he expected to be
acquitted and heard he would be
poisoned on release.
DR.. Abbott said the former Balti-
more writer asked him who would
protect his chief counsel, Claude B
Cross, and himself from Jews after
the trial.
DR.. Strecker said the defendants
reasoning was irrevocably closed to
argument or logic in connection
with his false beliefs.
DR.. Tillotson testified he did not
believe Chambers mental condition
would enable him to form an opinion
that he was betraying his country,
or that he was capable of resisting
the opportunity of broadcasting his
views on Jews.
