WASHINGTON, Jan.' 30 Hit
ler's double-dealing is at the root
of themurderous turmoil In Ru-
mania. . pw
. A 'dictatorial I
censorship "has!
bee n' keeping
the facts from
the. world.: -All
that la being
presented la ' a
confusing b ) u r
of e v e n t s in
old iron guards
men." appear to
W shooting Hit
ler a Anionesca-
anr .'and -y l'c e
versa.- with tne .psai M ilioa -,
'communists -firing's few. silent
pistols In the. background.""",' ;
- But .there are "ways of getting,
around , e t e n " that censorship.
These ; straignten- oui. m coca
eyed 'situation, something like
this::-: , " : ; ' - ' -
Hitler rode behind the iron
'guard only as long as it served -
lil a purposes -to ' overthrow
King-: Carol. ? What ' he o w 1
wants is Rumanian oil ' and
wheat. -The only way he ca
. get them la to keep the coun
l try working ,and the only pub-:
" U: man who 'can 'deliver them
t for him is Antoimcii. So he is
now 4 backing - the premier dic
tator against his former
;' friends;'" ym ' ' '.
Of 'course, It would not be
above -Hitler" to bo also furnlsh-
. In g.: few shooting pistols on the
ald to the guardsmen, i. By pro
moting t. inner strife , he would
have an. excuse to take nominal
control of a government . which
he la already guarding with 150,-
000 German troops (mark: this
figure well: it is authoritative).
While "such dual deviltry is al
ways possible in the nasi way of
doing business, it is extremely
unlikely in this particular in
stance. For once. Hitler wants a
neighbor to be orderly and pro
ductive.
Antonescu is an army general
who , disaxreed with Carol and
was nermitted to regret It In
villa prison the last two months
of Carol's regime. At heart he
Ia"pro-Ruman!an - (rather " t h n
nasi), trying to' make the;best of
a' tough situation. His position Is
precisely 'that "of ; P e t'a In In
France. The presence 'of r150,000
German troops ; assures his ' loy-
alty to. Germany, but Hitler' has
not heen exercising: any detailed:
control oyer his actions as long
as the wheat and oil keep coming;
i The iron guardsmen who . re
volted are "nothing .' hut - wild
mob. " Their ; only . good leaders
were killed 'off by . Carol. r in re-'
tallation: tor'-their - assassination
of Carol's '. prime "minister Calen
escu. Rumania is divided into 72
divisions, corresponding to our
states. Carol's government admit
ted going through ' Jails loaded
with guardsmen ' and choosing
three from ' each state for execu
tion,, giving preference to: lead-'
ers. This official - calculation
would make 21S shot.. The total
was probably nearer. 400. ' " '
I The purge left' the Iron
guard f in control of '- scatter
brained hoodlums. Hitler waa.'
- natarally agreeable to doable- .
rroMing them in favor 'of the
strong man who ran deliver for
hint a long as he can deliver..
The commies get into the pic
ture through-the back door as
iinua.1. Iron ruard doctrines- are
a motley combination of com
munist and nazi theories. The
guard movement includes moder
ates, radicals, , extremists, com
munist and what not. The pres
et ld-r Sima. is suDDOsed to
be a moderate, but he is on the
run. Every faction in Rumania
except the guardlsts has been
looking for him since he was
twice renorted executed and then
later escaped to Germany. His
mob wishes to make trouble be
cause they think Hitler should
have let them run the current
fthnw and also because mark
this well Russia has been incit
ing them to revolt. Stalin Is Drac-
tlcing a little subtle resistance to
his axis partner in the Rumanian
field.
Thus does throat- slitting
march its way in Carol's Graus-tark.

Today's Garden
By LILL1E L. MADSEN
F.W. Wants to know what
spray to use for his lilacs at this
time of the year.
This will depend somewhat
upon what be wanted to cure or
prevent on the lilacs. For in
stance if moss is heavy on lilac
bushes it Is well to spray now
(on a clear day that is not fros
ty) with a dormant lime sulphur.
Scale insects frequently bother
lilacs and a control spray of a
dormant oil used now or In early
February will be beneficial. Re
member that the oil spray Is a
contact spray and must strike
all places of the lilacs where the
scales are settled.
A.N. Reports that she had
planted sweet peas in early fall,
and upon examination now finds
that there are only little stubs
of plants left.
Slugs are very likely the cause
of the disaster. These pests have
done tremendous things this win
ter both In the garden and field.
Whether your sweet pea "stubs"
will stool out or not depends
upon how close to the ground
they are eaten. In some cases
they will grow out from the stubs.
Use poison baits to control slugs,
but place the baits beneath boards
where birds cannot reach them.
There are a number of prepared
baits on the market. A lead arse
nate mixed with bran forms the
basis for most of the baits in
general use.
S.Si Reports she lost most of
her seedlings last year Just as
they came out of the ground in
her flats. They seemed to rot,
she reports, right at the soil.
This Is generally known as
damping-off. It is a fungi preva
lent in seed beds. To control It
sterilize all containers if old ones
are used. Hot water will do this.
Next sterilize the soil. Perhaps the
easiest method to do this is by
using a red copper oxide spray
Mix three ounces of the oxide
with . one gallon of water. Spray
the soil thoroughly as soon as
the seeds have been sown'. Subse
quent applications should be made
every week or ten days until the
little seedlings have passed the
danger mark. Red copper oxide
is put up under a number of
trade names.
