U. S. INVOKES CRIMEAN PACT (Continued from Page One) land under comparable circum stances, when the Big Three lead eis agreed that they would jointly seek to broaden the Sovit-spon soied Warsaw provisional govern ment. The United States has two prin cipal officials in Romania. Burton Y. Berry, with the rank of minis ter, is the top American diplomat ic representative although not for mally accredited to King Mihai. The American member of the Al lied Control Commission, which is responsible for enforcement of ar mistice terms on the former Axis satellite country, is Brig. Gen. Courtland van Rensselaer Schuy ler. (Gen. Schuyler is termer com mander of the Anti-Aircraft Artil lery school at Camp Davis.) At the moment, American dip lomatic officials are by no means certain that the Yalta agreement will come through unscathed. On the other hand, none here really expects to break down. The expec tation is that some sort of accept able, if not generally satisfactory, agreement can be reached. Foreign Minister Edtn publicly ’ told Commons this week what had been commonly talked in secret by Allied diplomats for many days —that it was the Moscow govern ment, acting without consultation with the United States and Britain, which ousted the Radescu admin istration and helped set up the present regime. Here is what happened in Ro maina: The Crimea Conference ended February 11. About that time thera was in creasing criticism in the Sovie' press of the Radescu administra tion. It was blamed for failing tc and for inability to maintain order Those criticisms were generally re jected here. Washington consider ■ed the Radescu government bumb ling but about the best that coulc be done in the circumstances. On February 7. the Russian vie< commissar of foreign affairs, V: shinsky, arrived in Bucharest H* had an immediate audienea with King Mihai. On February 8, Radescu was dismissed. An aristocrat, Prince Stirbey, was askfed to form a gov ernment but after a brief try gave up. On March 6, Groza succeeded ir forming a government. The leaders of the two largest parties, Iuliu Maniu, National Peas ant party, and Dinu. Bratianu, Na tional Liberal party, refused to joir the Groza administration on the ground that they would not submil to minority control. -V Spring Breezes Cover Much of Nation; Gale Strikes Mississippi By The Associated Press Springlike breezes covered much of the United States yesterday in the van of snow and death-dealing gales in the West and South. Temperatures soared to collar wilting 80’s in Arkansas; record 70’s in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and other Northern States, and an unprecedented 68 at Bos ton. But cyclonic winds left at least three persons dead in Mississippi and uprooted trees and damaged houses in Texas. Heavy snow fell in northern Utah’s mountains. BUY WAR BONDS AND STAMPS FIFTH ARMY SEEKS FOE NEAR BOL( \ ROME, March 15—(U.fi)—Fifth Ar my partols probed the premiter of German defenses in the sector southwest of Bologna, but were un able to contact the enemy, it was announced today, and aggressive German raiding parties continued to stab at Allied strongpoints along the Adriatic. The U. S. Tenth Mountain Di vision, aided by Bralizian contin gents, edged forward in the Apen nines hill country on both sides of Highway 64 and encountered only sporadic artillery and mortar fire. Allied troops in this seetor are poised for a thust at the enemy stronghold of Vergato. 18 miles southwest of Bologna, the city, as tride the road to Bologna, is vir ually encircled. In eastern Italy, a sharp fight oc curred when enemy forces attack ed a British strong point north of Cotignola with flame-throwers. The attack was repulsed but other Eighth Army elements were forced to withdraw from psoitions south east of Riolo di Bagni following an enemy thrust across the Senio riv er. Tactical Air Force planes in ad dition to hur ing the usual weight of bombs on communications tar gets in the vital Brenner rail route between Germany and Italy, bomb ed targets behind Grman lines on both the Fifth and Eighth Army fronts. Hits were scored on enemy headquarters buildings and com mand posts. YALTAPACTSEEN AS STEP TO CE (Continued from Page One) at Quebec, Moscow, Cair, Tehe ran, Yalta, Bretton Woods, Chica go and Dumbarton Oaks, he told the Civitans, were necessary prac tical preliminaries to the April meeting in San Francisco, “which may determine the fate of the civi lized world for a century”. The realism and determination evi denced by delegates to these con claves, he said, “beats the League of Nations all hollow”. As a student in Switzerland, he recounted, he had witnessed the impact of the Japanese invasion of Manchuria on the virtually helpless League Assembly, whose subse quent authorizing of the investiga tive Lytton Commission merely forced the Japanese out of the League. He traced the step-by-step growth of fascist aggression thence forward in China, Spain, Abyssinia. Austria and Czecho-Slovakia, sym bolizing the horrified helplessness of the League powers and the iso lated United States with Lord Hali fax's dispairing “It can't be true' when told of the invasion of Aus tria. Exhorting all three of his suc cessive audiences to publicize their interest in such vitally important events as the San Francisco se curity conference he called their success dependent on “people just like yourselves”, otettinius—whom he called “an awfully nice man” but just a “front” for the President —has cleaned the cobwebs from the State department, and, he asserted "When you write to the State De partment, it's acknowledged nowa days.” He professed himself enthusiastic over the choice of U. S. delegates to the forthcoming San Francisco meeting, quoting an unnamed Re publican friend who said “Had Gov. Dewey been selected, it would have been the worst disaster that ever occurred”. He acclaimed the inclusion of a woman, Dr Virginia Gildersleeve, of Barnard College. The Lions and the Sorosis mem bers also heard Dr. Voss assert that “the Jewish problem is a Christian problem,” and back it with the explanation that it was Medieval Christian culture which had ori ginally selected world Jewry as a scapegoat, a tactic to to adopted in “Frightfully” more inclusive formly Adolf Hiitler in modern times. Supporting Jewish claims to free immigration into Palestine, Jews’ war efforts, marked by an all-time high in military enlist ment, with that of the Arabs who oppose Ziionist aims. Dr. Voss talk to the Sorosis group was preceded by vocal selections by Mrs. O. E DuRant, Jr., con tralto. He was introduced to the Lions by William B. Campbell, and to the Civitans by W A. Raney. -V—: Navy Moves lo humiliate Use of Physically Unfit Men In Overseas Service WASHINGTON. March 15—(U.R)— Many physically unfit men are be ing sent overseas for Naval duty and the Navy Department says this must stop. It was disclosed tonight that the Navy’s Bureau of Medicine and Surgery and the Bureau of Naval Personnel have sent a joint mem orandum to all ships and stations telling them what to do about the situation. “Numerous reports of receipt of men in. the overseas areas who are not physically qualified to per form all of their duties, have been received by the Bureau of Naval Personnel,” said the .memorandum, which then directed: “In view of the transportation in volved, the unwarranted burden on medical facilities in advanced areas and the present congestion of men awaiting medical or dental treatment in those areas, it is ex tremely urgent that steps be taken to prevent transferring such men overseas.” -V-— BUT WAR BONDS AND STAMPS ' TIRE PUMPS -AUTO JACKS I | 4-WAY HIM WBEWCHES - BEL1NEBS | Famous Diamond TIRES Size 6.00 •• 16 $14»5 JBL plus Tax Complete Stock of All Sizes At Proportionate Low Prices AUTO No Certiiicate Needed To Bay TUBE BULBS INNER REPMB W TUBES KITS 7r Ns--7 All sizes in Stock A ' * LOW PRICES jjg Special Lot of H “Universal** $1.49 I [floor MATS i 3Jto fit all cars—slightly imperfect— ' Felt back.

The Germans then fell back into Strodt, a mile east, and the Americans fought half-way to that town. Strong air patrols kept German planes away from the bridgehead, the nearest getting eight miles from the battlefield before it was shot down. Pilots said German trains and vehicles were moving toward the bridgehead, bringing up forces for the bridgehead battle. So far, however, the Germans had been unable to aim a single major counterblow and it appear ed they were hard put to marshal their forces over cratered high ways and bomb-wrecked villages east of the Rhine. At the same time, German fire on the bridgehead had dropped ofi sharply, testimony to the effective ness of the steady expansion op erations which have shoved enemy gunners beyond easy range. Associated Press Correspondent Don Whitehead said the Germans were building up strength east of the bridgehead. That might be to contain the bridgehead or to mus ter the force for one big attempt to crush the all-important Ameri can foothold east of the Rhine. Between the assault of the, U. S. Third Army from the north, and the U. S. Seventh Army’s drive from the south, Hitler’s hold on the Saar and the nearby Palatin ate, his last west of the Rhine, seemed to slipping fast.

The next meeting of the U. S. delegation will consider the se lection of advisers.

Representatives of the House, the Senate, labor, business and agriculture were included in that delegation. 5. Stettinius met for an hour with a bipartisan group from the Senate Foreign Relations Commit tee. He reviewed the Yalta and Mexico conferences and discussd briefly preliminary plans for San Francisco. Cordell Hull started meetings with that group nearly a year ago to keep them informed of progress on plans for a world organization. President Roosevelt promised earlier this week that an “open door’’ policy would be pursued at San Francisco, subject to the ap proval of the other nations present. 90 PROOF i£SS555SSSSSSSSS3SS5&S&».

It was explained that the Duke himself was somewhat surprised by the announcement because he did not expect it to be made until April. In a later news conference, the Governor explained that the resig nation will come after he has serv ed within three and one-half months of ‘the five year period of normal maximum tenure of a co lonial governorship.” ‘The news that His Royal High ness had now decided to tender his resignation of the post of Gov ernor is therefore not unexpected nor gives any cause for surprise,” a government announcement add ed. The Duke took office Ausuv. 17, 1940. There had been no public indi cation here that the former King of England would leave the post he 1 ad held since August 17, 1940. The Duke would no: receive ov erseas telephone calls from news trin in the United States who sought to interview him. Edward and his American-born wife, for whose love be abdicated, have been hard at work—except during their occasional visits to thg United States — ever since they landed at this outpost of empire. The Duchess, as president of the x x x x x x x Bahamas Red Cross, has been ac-1 live in war and welfare projects. Her untiring efforts have won her the admiration of Bahamians, who were impressed by the fact that she did not leave the hard work to others. Trained to rule a mighty em pire, the Duke put all of his ener gies into the task of governing this tiny colony of some 70,000 inhabi tants who live on the islands scat tered off the southern coast of the United States. He has worked and planned, particularly, in an effort to solve the islands’ economic plight which resulted from the war-time cessa tion of tourist trade. The Duke arranged for about 5, 000 Bahamians to go to the United States to help relieve the shortage of farm labor. He took a lead in efforts to revive peasant indus tries. -V Von Rundstedt Reported In Fear of Life, Taking Blame For Nazi Failures COLOGNE, March 15. — Uf\ — Fiield Marshal Karl von Rund stedt is so fearful of his life, since seeing what happened to his col leagues who were purged after the Hitler assassination attempt last July, that he now unresisting ly lends his name to military ad ventures which he knows are doomed to failure. This is the considered opinion of a Rhenish man of letters who knows von Rundstedt intimately. His name must be withheld at present for family reasons. The so-called von Rundstedt of fensive last December was not the J. -L _L i field marshal's at all, ant asserted. He said c°cted by Hitler, HimraleJ T* Field Marshal Walther von V.l but that von Rundstedt was cy~ peiled to carry it out agair.st V better judgment. r"5 PARATROOPER WINS “*■ CHARLOTTE, March i3_ ^ Paratroop Sgt.
