Fear Abo Arises in Bar
chtfrest of Invasion by
Russian Troops as Ger

Balkans at Vienna
Conference Today.
Bucharest, Aug. 28.?Hungarian
warp lanes today allegedly bombed
the Romanian city of Ared, machin
ed-gunned and bombed an airdrome
and swept to within 80 miles of
- Bucharest while fears rose of an in
vasion by Russian troops massing
along the new northern frontier of
of Rumania.
An official communique accused
the Hungarians of the bombing at
tack, on the eve of a conference hur
ried summoned in Vienna by Adolf
Hitler and Benito Mussolini in an
"urgent effort" to bring about a
Hungarian-Rumanian settlement and
> avert wdr in the Balkans.
There were reports, as yet uncon
firmed, that Russia "had sent a note
to already dismembered Rumania

self-defense" if King Carl's govern
ment ceded any territory to Hungary
as result of today's Vienna confer
ence.
Russian Note.
The Russian note, according to
these reports, was being carried to
Vienna Last night by Rumanian For
eign Minister Mihail Manoilescu to be
laid before Foreign Minister Joachim
Von Ribbentrop ( of Germany and
Count Galeazzo Ciano of Italy, as
well as the Premier and Foreign Min
ister of Hungary.
According to one 'version heard in J
Bucharest last night, the Russians
said that Rumania's cession of terri
tory to either Hungary or Bulgaria
?dismemberment of either Transy
lvania or Southern Dobrudja?might
force Russian troops to march west
ward to the crest of the Carpathians.
The note said Moscow would in
terpret as an "unfriendly act" the
cession of any Rumanian territory
and that any such submission to
Hungary or Bulgaria would "sabo
tage" Soviet interests in the Balkans
and the Danube basin, it was rum
ored.
The goven|rnent alleged in an
official communique that following
guerrilla-like clashes along the dis
puted Transylvanian border, a Hun
garian plane during mid-afternoon
yesterday bombed and machine-gun
ned a hangar of an airdrome at the
Rumanian town of Satu Mare.
Satu Mare is a town of about 50,
000 population, most Hungarian,
about three miles from the Hungar
ian-Rumanian northern border.
The plane was shot down near the
town of Carei, the communique said,
and its crew of three captured?a
Hungarian captain and two lieuten
ants.
Other Hungarian planes were offi
cally alleged to have flown 217 miles
into the geographical heart" of Ru
mania at 12:15 p. m., and to have
dropped propaganda leaflets on the
important city of Brashov, about 80
miles north of Bucharest and seat of
important aircraft, arms and other
industries. Brashov, a city of 60,000,
is half Hungarian and half German.
Bombing Reported.
g ' ' ? ^
Diplomatic quartan reported that
Hungarian planes during the day . had
bombed the city of And one of the
largest in Transylvania, and that one
of the attaching planes was shot
down.
Arad is a railroad center about 18
miles ^ from the Hungarian-Rumanian
border to the south. The railroad
runs to the Hungarian city of Sxexed
across the frontier.
If Hungarian bombs fell on And,
they endangered more the lives of
Hungarian rather than Rumanians,
because three-fourths of the city's
80,000 population is Hungarian.
From the northern frontier, where'
three days of fighting on land and
in the air between Rumanian and j
Russian forces is reported to have
taken a toll of perhaps 100 dead and
scores of wounded, came reports of
"near panic."
The fighting along the northern
border presumably had been brought
to a halt undei; an agreement reached
by a mixed Russian-Rumanian milft
tary commission on 'the spot and
Moscow's disavowal of any responsi
bility for what it called "purely local
incidents." 1 11

INDO-CHINA.
Chungking, Aug. 28.?The Chinese
government for the first time for
mally declared last night its deter
mination to send troops into French
Indo-China should the Japanese enter
that colony "under any pretext or
under any conditions with a "view to
attacking China."
The statement made by Foreign
jtfinister Wang Chung Hui warned
the French government "could not
evade responsibility for all the con
sequences," including loss of life or
damage to the property of Chinese
residents in Indo-China, if "any Jap
anese military activities" were per
mitted there. ?

in Indo-China.
"China is thus absolved from any
responsibility forf any consequences,"
should the Chinese be forced to take
action, it concluded.
