Trainloads of Rumanian wounded arrived in the capital shortly after noon today for hos pitalization. They were under stood to have been wounded in clashes with Russian troops on the Prut river. At the same time military quarters declared the probability of further clashes between Ru manian and Russian forces was heightened by the fact the Rus sian army was increasing the tempo of its occupation of ceded Bessarabia and northern Buco vina. . Today, it was reported, para chute troops were "rained" on parts of the two provinces not yet occupied. Rumanian officials returning from the occupied territories de clared that Russian military trials were condemning Ruman ians in "wholesale batches." By the Associated Press A flurry of land and air fight ing over the weekend on the Libyan Egyptian border indi cated a faster tempo to' the war in the Mediterranean area. The Italian high command re ported the capture of several British positions, with attacks by British motorized units reported beaten off. The clashes were officially described as "consider able." Reports from Khartoum said two British armored cars knifed through Italian defenses on the Eritrea border in east Vfrica and routed 1.200 cavalrymen with heavy casualties. British R. A. F. bombing planes, striking at Germany in mass attacks in a "warm up" for the expected great battle for Britain, roved over the north, west and south of the reich dur ing the night. The German high command said the British sky raiders at tacked "non-military targets and that 18 were shot down an indication that the attackers must have been in considerable numbers. British Cruiser Sunk The nazi high command also reported a British cruiser of the Orion class (about 7,200 tons) was torpedoed south of Brest, France, and that a German U- boat sank 23,000 tons of enemy merchant shipping. "Two of the sunken steamers were torpedoed from a strongly protected convoy," the com munique said. The red army, which has been pushing west and south to oc cupy territory ceded on demand by Rumania yesterday surprised the Rumanian garrison at Rent, where the Danube and Prut rivers Join, by landing baby tanks suspended between the wheels of transport planes. The Rumanians did not even have time to take their rifles off the racks and Russia thus was in control of the Danube at spot where a few machine-guns may stop traffic on that artery which is so vital to Germany. Sam D. Koehler, local chair man of the Pacific Greyhound drivers affiliated with the Brotherhood of Railroad Train men, said today he was con vinced that "none of the Broth erhood drivers around here had anything to do with the throw ing of rocks Into stages near Gold Hill last Friday night." Mr. Koehler indicated that he had made an investigation of his own and would continue in an effort to ascertain who threw the rocks. "From the beginning we have preached against acta of vio lence of any kind against the safety of passengers," Mr. Koeh ler stated. "The sole purpose of our picketing here has been to direct attention to the danger of riding with in experienced drivers."

(JP) A flood of human misery poured into here today from Bessarabia as spike-capped Rus sian troops took control at the frontier bridgehead 14 miles north of this city at 4 p. m. (8 a. m. PST). The desperate refugees car ried their bedding and a stick or two of furniture on their backs while barefooted children trudged alongside their home less elders on many country roads. Drenched by rain until their clothes hung as shapeless and aimless as their hopes for the future, this latest refugee horde in Europe streamed endlessly into old Rumania. It was estimated that at least 35,000 peasants and townspeo ple, uprooted from the land of their birth, have passed through here since the red army began on June 28 to occupy Bessarabia and Bucovina. STEEP PROFIT TAX Washington, July 1. VP) President Roosevelt asked con gress today to enact a "steeply graduated excess profits tax" applicable to all individuals and corporate organizations "with out discrimination." The tax would be both a reve nue producer and a measure to hold down profits on war time business. The congressional leaders were advised of the tax plan at a regular Monday White House conference with Mr. Roosevelt. Rayburn said the question of a congressional adjournment was not brought up but that the congress probably would recess July 11 for the democratic con vention.' G.

(IP) The temperature rose to 88 degrees today, highest of the year by two degrees, and equalling the all-time mark for a July 1 in Seattle. Cooler weather was forecast for tomorrow.

Also, the secretary of the navy may negotiate contracts for construction of naval ves sels or aircraft, equipment and machine tools, without compe tition to save time otherwise consumed in advertising for bids. Army Also Hurries. A "national emergency." as defined in the law, is covered by President Roosevelt's dec laration of a limited national emergency last September B. While the navy defense pro gram was thus expedited, the army also geared up its work to high speed and consumers started doing their bit by pay ing higher taxes on beer, liquor and cigarettes. Intensive specialized training began for selected army offi cers and men. Numerous re serve officers, mostly youthful lieutenants, reported for active duty with troops, and long-deferred promotions took effect for hundreds of regular army officers. At the same time, new funds became available for the pur chase of arms, and the navy needed only President Roose velt's approval of speed-up leg islation to order work started on 80 warships in addition to nearly 100 already in various stages of construction. Vivien Leigh and Robert Taylor in Craterian Picture With Vivien Leigh and Rob ert Taylor perfectly teamed In the starring roles, "Waterloo Bridge" opened last night at the Craterian theatre as one of the "must see" films of the year. Balancing a tender and beau tiful love story against a pow erfully dramatic war back ground, the picture has every thing in the way of brilliant performances, an absorbing ro mance, spectacular setlngs, ex citing action and unusual pho- tograpny. If Miss Leigh had not already displayed her versatile talent to the complete satisfaction of all In her Academy Award uer- formance of Scarlet O'Hara, her fascinating portrayal of Myra Lester, the little ballet dancer of the Robert E. Sherwood drama, would assure her lasting screen fame. She is completely Denevable and Interesting in every mood of an exacting role. A pleasant surprise Is the work of Taylor in the finest role of his career. He is at his best as a British army officer, a part that requires him to age from 23 to 48, and inw hich he is always convincing. He wears a mustache for character ization, which - gives him both a new maturity and dignity. The story has been made vit ally timely, with its opening scene in the wartime London of today with Its blackout! and bombproof shelters, and then flickers back to events in the first World war. The romantic theme is woven around the 24 hour, whirlwind courtship of the petite dancer and the dash ing officer, who meet on historic Waterloo bridge during an air raid.

Phillips said "we tied him up to be sure he wouldn't come back," Brown related, adding that the quartet contended al leged mistreatment by the par ent prompted their action. 3-YEAR PEN TERM Chicago.
