Roma n ia n Legation Invasion Example of Power of Little Men By CHARLES M. MC CANN " United Press Correspondent The invasion of the Romanian legation in Bern, Switzerland, by anti - Communist Romanians is a reminder of the trouble little men can cause in the re 1 a t i o n s be tween nations. It was a group of little men, like those con cerned in the Bern incident, who caused , Charles McCajin worm war i when they assassinated Arch duke Francis Ferdinand of Aus-tro-Hungary. It is a reminder also of the system under which a country is conceded sovereignty over the premises its embassies and lega tions occupy in foreign capitals. The Bern police, for instance, had to get the permission of the Romanian charge d'affaires to enter the grounds of the legation from which he and his staff had fled. Archduke Slain' Archduke Francis Ferdinand was slain at Sarajevo on, Aus trian soil by little men who were Austrian subjects.: But the as sassins were Bosnian Serbs, who We Give r d - 9 lJ&te , - S&H GREEN STAMPS opposed Austrian rule. Austria blamed Serbia, holding that a Serbian terrorist organization fomented the assassination and provided the weapons for it. The resultant crisis caused the first world war. ;- ; - Between the two world wars, there was an international crisis involving France, Yugoslavia and Italy when little men be longing to a Croatian terrorist organization assassinated King Alexander of Yugoslavia and French Foreign Minister Louis Barthou at Marseilles, France, on Oct. 9, 1934. It developed that the terrorist organization had its headquar ters in what was then Fascist Italy, and was encouraged by Mussolini. Italy refused to sur render the men behind the assas sination plot. Little Man, Again It was a comparatively little man, Boris Savinkov, who tried to get Bolshevik Russia and Ger many at war again in 1918 by organizing the assassination of the German ambassador to Russia. The Bolsheviks and Germany had signed a peace treaty, while the war continued ; in Western Europe. Savinkov, a veteran social revolutionary terrorist of Czarist days, had turned against the Boiseviks. He organized the. Mki WWm t32119 ; fflJ V iV.

(International) assassination, on July 6, 1918, of Count Wilhelm Harff-Mirbach, the German ambassador. Savin kov hoped Germany would de clare war against the Bolsheviks but at that time, the Ger mans were too busy fighting on the Western Front to bother much about Mirbach. Incidentally, it was Savinkov who organized the plot to as sassinate Nikolai Lenin on Aug. 30, 1918, by a girl named Kap lan. Had Lenin been killed, in stead of being merely wounded, the course of, world history cer tainly would have been changed. Sportscholar KBES-TV THURSDAY 7:30 P.M. In Tfie Day's By FRANK JENKINS Today's biggest news: No shooting yet. No atom bombs dropped. IT seems to me that in the world of today, which is torn by a fundamental conflict between the free way of life and the slave way of life, our country should keep in mind two supremely im portant courses of action. One is a must. The other is a must not. Let's deal first with the must: We MUST find a way to live with Communism until the in evitable time comes when it will fall of the weight of its own foul ness. We MUST NOT permit our selves to fall into (or be led into) the delusion that we must DES TROY Communism by preven tive war, if necessary. H EADLINE stuff: In the nation's capital, Ore gon's junior senator Richard Neuberger (Senator Morse is no longer Junior; he's now SEN IOR) proposes that everybody get together on how to abbre viate Oregon. He suggests that news outlets and others join fed eral agencies in using Oreg. as the abbreviation for our state, rather than Ore., which is more common.. He points out that Oreg. is the form used by the government printing office and other federal outfits. 1HAVE no objection to his idea, and I think that as a freshman fttGE) fjjs 3D ra-dwi 1 - 5BEKB ANDY'S JEWELERS 15 N.

TN Salem, the highway commit- tee of the house of representa tives has postponed action on a bill to provide for COMPUL SORY motor vehicle inspections. State police superintendent H. G. Maison and representatives of the AFL machinists union testi fy against the proposal at a com mittee hearing, contending that it would require too many po licemen to enforce the law and would cost too much money. I think that's true. . Besides, let's leave SOME THING to individual responsi bility. T SUPPOSE, of course, that if everybody HAD to have his car inspected from stem to stern every so often or go to jail there might be fewer accidents due to faulty brakes and such. It's doubtless true that if we had a traffic policeman for every mile of our highways there would be less reckless driving. But also there would be a lot more taxes to pay. I can't escape the feeling that education of the public is the best approach to the problem of reckless driving, and I think the same is true in the case of fre- 3h OTli am H3Y mu lfi2 OH fj ma 2-2970 mm fl r i a Thursday.
