Calinescu ' Assassination
Believed Prelude to

i (Continued from pace 1)
at -a crown council meeting oyer
which Carol presided. The new
premier immediately held a cab
inet council session which, still.
was meeting late tonight.
JThe .cabinet was expected to
issue an appeal to the nation for
calm and loyalty and to promise
to "crush the remnants of the out
lawed Iron Guard.: . "
Premier Calinescu often had ac
cused the organization of taking
money and orders from Berlin.
Carol decreed a huge public
funeral for Calinescu. Meanwhile
his body lay in state.
The press department of the
premier's office issued a com
munique during the exenlng de
claring that "investigation thus
far has failed to show any rami
fications in the plot which can be
traced to a foreign country." It
continued:
"Political circles think It Is not
likely J that an international ex
planation can be given to the plot,
the lees so as Calinescu was cor
rect and straight in his policy of a
neutral international program."
However, a phrase in an early
government statement that the
leader of Calinescu's assassins had
returned to Rumania six weeks
ago from the "Ukraine' caught
the eye of foreign diplomats.
Germany's diplomatic attempts
to get more of Rumania's oil hare
been unsuccessful. A mission here
for the purpose has been told the
oil already Is pledged to Britain,
French and American companies.
Oil experts here have said that
Germany has only enough petrol
eum to .last for four months of
war. At jCernauti, on the Polish-
Rumanian frontier, foreign mili
tary observers said many German
planes and tanks have been im
mobilized in Poland because of
rationing of fuel by high army
authorities.

tng the foreign buyer to take
transfer of title in this country to
commodities purchased by bel
ligerents. The preventing of war
credits to belligerents.
I see no valid reason for the
consideraiton of other legislation
at this extraordinary session of
the congress.
This government must lose no
time or effort Jo keep the nation
from being drawn into the 'war.
In my candid judgment we shall
succeed in these efforts.
Let no man or group in any
walk of life assume exclusive pro
tectorate over the future well
being of America because I con
ceive that regardless of party or
section the mantle of peace and
of patriotism is wide enough to
cover us all. Let no group assume
the exclusive label of the peace
"bloc" We all belong to it.

Sober Countcrance
Stresses Gravity
It was an unsmiling president
who delivered his message. Not
even a prolonged ovation, thun
derous handclapping punctuated
by shrill "rebel yells" upon his en
trance, evoked from him the
broad grin and sweeping wave of
the arm with which, on such oc
casions, he usually acknowledges
the greetings of the legislators.
Returning to the White House,
Mr. Roosevelt turned at once to
the battle for his neutrality pro
gram. He talked with Senator
Glass, inveterate opponent of the
president on most other issues.
but his firm supporter on this one
Almost simultaneously, the foes
of the president s policies were
meeting at the capitol. Twenty'
four attended 15 republicans, six
democrats, two farmer - laborites
and one progressive. They dis
cussed strategy, but all they would
say afterward was that there
would be no filibuster "thorough
debate and it will take some
time," but "no filibuster."
Tomorrow, it was announced,
Mr. Roosevelt's conferences will
continue, with a calf from Senator
Pittman, another by Senators Mc
Nary (R-Ore) and Austin (R-Vt),
the republican leader and assist
ant leader, and a third from Sen'
ator Connally (D-Tex), who sup
ports the president's position. Aus
tin Is for the president's program,
McNary against it Their sched
uled conference was in line with
the president's recent call for an
"adjournment" of politics, a point
which he stressed again in today's
message.

Remedied by Britons
LONDON, Sept. 21. (AP) Parliament heard govern

age would not be repeated, while r oreign becretary Lord Hal

French Chief
Raps Russians
(Continued from page 1)
Russia, Britain and France which
he once referred to as a "rtop
Hitler" move, the French premier
declared that. "Poland's destruc
tion was being prepared by irms
and secret treaties even while
there was a pretense of negotia
tions."
The Russian army, Daladier
said, struck- Poland in the rear
as the result of a secret treaty."
"In reality! said Daladier. who
is his own foreign minister, "an
accord for the dismemberment of
Poland was concluded between
Germany and the USSR on Aug
ust 23. i
In an urgent appeal Daladier
declared France would not make
peace with Germany until a "sol-
Id. lasting basis" could be es
tablished. !
Warning the nation against the
"German menace" he said it
wanted to "destroy France like it
destroyed Austria, Czecho-Slova-kia
and Poland."
Despite Hitler's promises Ger
many wanted nothing from
France: he Jsaid, the truth was
that "Hitler wants to destroy
France" and that the war was
one to prevent death of the
French nation.

Southeast Europe
Hangs in Balance
(Continued from page 1)
Tonight the question was
whether the iron guard, an or
ganization with long - acknowl
edged nazi leanings, had trumped
it with bullets.
Diplomats said no country at
the moment at peace with the
entire world was In a more pre
carious position than Rumania.
On the north and east, soviet
Russia,, which never had been
reconciled to the loss of Bessara
bia to Rumania in settlements
after the World war, now holds
a border with Rumania from the
Black sea to the eastern-most tip
of Hungary.
German naziism inspiration
of the Iron guard movement
has been aggressive since the
start of the Polish war. The Ger
mans have been pressing for Ru
manlan oil for the reich's motor
ized army and Rumanian wheat
for the reich's vast industrial
population.
000,000 pounds (about 3280,000.
000) had been ordered since the
fight with Germany started.
Six thousand five hundred con
tractors were working for the
ministry of supply, he added, and
a number were being added each
day.
Shortage of sheUs for Britain's
army in France in the World war
caused a government shake-up.
The supply minister further sta
ted that the country had been di
vided Into 13 districts, each under
a trained engineer to "ensure that
the whole capacity of the country
is utilized."
Poland Position 'Tragedy'
Arthur Greenwood, acting oppo
sition leader, criticized the latter
set-up as bureaucratic and said
"the dead hand of officialdom Is
going to throttle the national ef
fort"
Lord Halifax' statement was
made in the House of Lords In
commenting on Poland's failure
to receive effective help In time
from Britain and France.
He spoke of Poland's position as
"one of the major tragedies of the
last few weeks." And added:
"We must not lose sight of our
main objective in this war vic
tory and we must not undertake
anything that does not directly
contrfbute to that victory."
