Acceptance of armistice terms offered by the Soviet Union, Great Britain and the United States was announced in a procla mation broadcast from Bucharest. The early morning Russian communique, recorded by the Soviet monitor from a Moscow broadcast, told of clashes on Ro manian soil between the Romani ans, ordered by King Mihal to cease hostilities against the Red Army, and the Germans. Romanian prisoners were quot ed as saying that the Germans were firing on the Romanians and blocking their withdrawal. “A large number of Romanian officers and men have thus been killed," said the communique, "In armed clashed between the re treating Romanian detachments and German frontier detachments in several places”. A proclamation by young King Hihai, read over the Bucharest radio, said all hostilities against the Red Army as well as Ro manian's state of war with Britain and America would cease "from this moment”.

REDS SEIZE THREE BIG NAZI STRONG POINTS The two-fisted Soviet offensive that knocked Romania out of the war roared through its fourth day yesterday, capturing Vaslui, 140 miles northeast of the Ploesti oil center, and topping the two big Bessarabian bastions of Tlghina and Cetatea-Alba on the west bank of the Dnestr, and more than 400 other towns. Disregarding developments on the political front, at least for the present, the Second and Third Ukrainian Armies deepened to as mudh as 60 miles the holes they have ripped In the German-Ro- manian defenses and advanced within 167 miles of the capital city of Bucharest.
