MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 6. 1940. PAGE SEVEN Another Feather for Hitler In Abdication of King Carol By Dtwiit MacKensie King Carol of Rumania haj lost hit throne through a combination of circumstances, not least of which has been the shadow-rule of his titian-haired sweetheart, Madame Lupescu but when all is said and done it represents another great victory for Adolf Hitler. Rumania has entered nazi dom, and of that there is but one master the fuhrer. He has gained a new and important disciple for his teachings. He ha gained access, hitherto dis puted, to the agricultural wealth and oil of the country, thus strengthening his arm against Britain. He has erected a stra tegic barrier against Russia, and furthered his own politico-economic control of the Balkans. Carol Served Well I believe that Carol had the BOTTLED IN B OK CSRTU&Yl Straight Bourlon WMskey CENTURY DlftTILUNO CO. 'Hi QUART J .

From per sonal investigation in Rumania it seemed to me that he did in fact serve his country well In many ways. So far as the records go he was an honest servant of his people. In fact, when I was in Rumania in the fall of 1938, the king was in process of trying to clean up his political house to eliminate graft which was said to have weakened his regime- Still, despite his good inten tions and many excellent qual ities he lacked the political acu men and diplomacy to enable him to deal with the strong forces surrounding him. Ru mania was one of the earliest to feel the hand of the nazi fifth column. There were more than a dozen political parties, which more often than not were pull ing against each other. Iron Man Needed The situation called for an iron man. Carol had the deter mination, but he was strong willed to the point of extreme stubborness, and his determina tion thus became a weakness. He tried to use, and indeed did use, a club when subtle methods were called for. Perhaps his greatest fault was that he was unable to turn away from the whispered advice of the fascinating Magda Lupescu one of the outstanding per sonalities of our time. Probably the advice of this hypnotic beauty was at times good. I don't know the answer to that. But we can say that through her he made the great mistake of clashing with his military leaders and army. When Carol in 1930 returned from his exile with Madame Lupescu and, at her urging, engineered the coup which gave him the throne, the people re ceived him with an open mind. He was far from popular with many because of his affair with the red-haired Magda, but they were prepared to forgive and forget. They weren't prepared, how ever, to accept Madame Lupes cu, and when Carol installed her near the royal palace the people began the murmuring! which finally swelled into a great volume that should have warned the king. Undoubtedly Bruno Studio V' I J$ Medford is the latest Oregon city to be entered by the Bruno Art Studio, which is established in several northwest cities and which has a wide reputation for its work. The Bruno concern will hold formal opening Satur day at the new studio now being prepared at the corner of Main and Central. S. A.

If you see a couple of gents measuring the width of a state highway, tak ing grade elevations, punching soil-test rods into shoulders and measuring the sag in old bridges, you'll know that the highway is a part of the 80,000 mile network of strategic mili tary roads. You probably won't see any such gents, because most of the state highway departments already have the information. In the next few weeks they will be pouring it Into the pub lic roads administration here for tabulation and assembly into a report to the army and the na tional defense commission. Out of that report, with rec ommendations from the presi dent and action from congress, our strategic military highway network may be improved and repaired. But don't let anybody ten you that at the moment there is any wholesale plan to make super-highways out of every wagon track or even any national defense plans to "super" highways that aren't already "supered." Must Support Tanks About the only military roads that will be built immediately are those which lead from the main arteries or cities to new military and naval establish ments. In mileage, these roads probably will be negligible. It Is likely they will be built with an eye to modern mechanical warfare w 1 d e and strong enough to accommodate the heavy tanks and new heavy gun carriages.

Dozens of exciting new Ideas frivolous ones, sensible .ones and happy medlumsl Each shoe a sleek fitting beauty to make your foot look prettier than ever this Fall I Dial 3910 117 S Central The 80,000-mile network was worked out by the army and the public roads administration. It spiderwebs over every state, with east-west and north-south arteries tying together the coast lines and the borders and giv ing clear outlets from industrial centers to military cantonments and naval supply bases. Bridge Boom Likely Much of it, according to pre liminary surveys, would be sat isfactory for military use even now. The principal difficulties are gaps of poor road that link some of the better highways and about 2.000 bridges that are tar from adequate for passage of new, heavier military equip ment. It looks to this unexpert eye as if the bridge building busi ness is in for a boom. If there are 2,000 wobbly bridges that need reinforcing or replace ment, that means a heap of new spans, even if some of them are no more than glorified cul verts. Not All At Once What effect the survey and subse q u e n t recommendations will have on the country's high way system cannot be predict ed now. But you can skip the idea that we are going to have in the near future 80,000 miles of highways that will match the 1,900-mile four-lane, earth-di vided autobahnen of Germany. We already have more auto bahnen here than that and we'll probably have still more, but it would take years to super-highway the whole network and make adequate feeders out of all the horse and buggy roads that lead into it.
