Balkan Diplomats Say German Soldiers Sent to Help)
Restore Order After Clashes With Iron Guards; Claim Premier Regaining Control.
BY UNITED PRESS Diplomatic reports from Bucharest glleged without offi-
cial confirmation today that possibly 1000 persons have been ">
killed in the current outbreaks in Rumania. This is far in excess of any reports of casualties received from any other quarter on the Rumanign disorders, which
were said to have invoived factions of the Iron Guard, the Rumanian Army and Ger-
man soldiers. Fighting still is going on at several places in the provinces, diplomatic reports said, and it was understood that German soldiers had been dispatched to aid the Rumanian Army in restoring order.
Toll May Go Higher
The unconfirmed diplomatic reports indicated the toll may be even higher before the disorders are quelled completely. Other reports from Balkan capitals indicated that Premier Gen. Jon Antonescu was getting control of the situation. ” The entire story was clouded by censorship, but it appeared that the murder of a German staff officer two days ago touched Off riotous disorders. The riots apparently were caused by radical Iron Guard elements whose opposition to Antonescu had flared up at intervals ever since the abdication of King Carol.
Troops Stand Guard
There had been fighting in Bucharest between Army troops and Iron Guard elements who apparently tried to seize public buildings. But today troops stood guard in Bucharest and in provincial cities under orders of Antonescu, that peace and order must be re-estab-lished throughout the country, within 24 hours. Last night, in a series of decrees, Antonescu prescribed the death penalty for the murder of any German Army man in Rumania and * militarized 87 important industries including those of armaments, aviation, oil, telephone, textile, match, cement, shoe and cigaret to bring them under Army rule.
Tension Eases, Nazis Say
Both the Minister of Interior and the chief of the Rumanian secret service were reported dismissed, presumably for Iron Guard sympathies and Antonescu was said to have ordered all Guardists purged from the police. It may have ‘been these orders which touched off the riots. Reports from Berlin and London agreed that Antonescu now had the situation pretty well in hand. Berlin had first. refused to discuss the Rumania situation but later said tension had slackened and Antonescu’s “position remains firm.”

U. S. EMBARGO LIST
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22 (U. PJ). —Removal of the “moral embargo” on shipments of strategic war supplies to Russia headed the United States today toward closer friendship with the Soviet Union. Lifting of the year-old embargo by the State Department follows recent Japanese -efforts to ameliorate Russo-Japanese differences in the Far East. The move was interpreted by some as a bid by this country to draw the Soviet Union away from the Berlin-Tokyo-Rome Axis. Officials noted that the embargo withdrawal followed closely Japanese Foreign Minister Yosuke Matsuoka's declaration that war with the United States was not improb‘able and that Japan should make ‘a bid for closer friendship with Russia. : ° The moral embargo was invoked on Dec. 2, 1939, and expanded during the same month in an effort to influence American manufacturers and exporters to ban shipments of pirplanes, aviation gasoline and -gtrategic materials to nations which indiscriminately bombed = civilian » populations.

Mr. Mason determined. It
does not intend to use the port for of no military value except for its abundant springs. There is reason to believe that the principal Italian stand. in the Cyrenaica area of Libya will be made at Benghazi, the chief supply center for Graziani's operations. It! seems evident that the sacrifices the Marshal has ordered by defending Tobruk and Bardia against hopeless odds has been to gain time to prepare for the defense of Benghazi.
Tobruk Has Fine Harbor
It is 200 miles by the curved coastal road from Derna to Benghazi and 50 miles less by a straight short-cut route running southwestward. Once past Derna and before Benghazi, the British would be some 500 miles west of their original railnead base of Mersa Matruh, in Egype, where the present offensive began. That normally would be a severe strain on the British line of communications, but Britain's naval command of the Mediterranean permits the use of transports carrying supplies along the Libyan coast. Tobruk, itself, has the best natural harbor in Libya, making the port an admirable base for receiving supplies. The British, too, are amply supplied with their own and captured Italian trucks for carrying such msaterial across the desert as may not find space in the transport ships. The problem of communications, therefore, should not seriously hamper the eventual attack on Benghazi.
Two Possibilities Open
It is here that Marshal Graziani’s final strategic plans will be revealed. Two possibilities are open to him. He either can fight to the end at Benghazi or he can leave Cyrenaica wholly in British hands and order what remains of his command to retreat into Tripclitania. If he resolved to risk everything in defending Benghazi to the last, he will jeopardize his entire army,
‘War Moves Today
By J. W. T. MASON United Press War Expert
Following the fall of Tobruk, the British Army’s next objective in its westward push through Libya will be the port of Derna, about 90 miles farther along the Mediterranean Coast.
The intervening present no serious obstacles to the
mechanized units of the advancing force, Whether Derna will be defended is as yet un-

so rare in Libya and so will prove a valuable base for the British. Reconnaissance planes have reported that the Italians have deserted the Derna airdromes, which may indicate Marshal Graziani
a major defense. It is a small city,
150,000 men. He has few airplanes left for air combat and his artillery is deficient. His supplies, too, undoubtedly are seriously diminished. Once bottled up in Benghazi, there would be no hope of rescue. If the British were in sufficient force, they could cut off any eventual retreat, which would have to be southwestward into Tripolitania. Marshal Graziani's other alternative would be to leave a comparatively ‘small force to defend Benghazi and order the larger part of his Army to move into Tripolitania. Their objective would be to reach the great port of Tripoli, about 600 miles away from Benghazi.
May Try to Cut Off Italians
Faced with an Italian retirement of this size, the British tactics would have to depend on the immediate conditions prevailing. If the Italian march across Tripolitania were delayed long enough, British mechanized units and airplanes could inflict very heavy damage on the enemy. To, it is not entirely Lapossible that the British might embark troops to cross the Bay of Sidra, from Cyrenaica to the Tripolitanian coast, half way to Tripoli. Such an expedition might cut off the retreating Italians. But, if the larger part of the Italian Army gets to Tripoli, the British will then have to consider whether the military situation would justify continuation of the campaign that far. If not, Marshal Graziani and his remnants will remain unmolested in Tripoli, but with supplies and reinforcements cut off and no hope of an offensive remaining for the defeated forces.

where it must conscript men and women for arms factories, by compulsion if necessary, today roused a storm of protests from both the Conservative and Leftist ranks of Parliament. There were cries of “socialism!” from Conservatives who want wholly compulsory mobilization of Britain’s manpower, : while Laborites and Leftists, forseeing benefits for the big industrial monopolies, asserted that the drastic plan would “fleece the workers.” The plan was announced by Ernest Bevin, Laborite Minister of Labor in Prime Minister Winston Churchill's = War Cabinet, at the opening of a formal Parliament=yy debate.
Compulsory, If Need Be
It will be necessary, he said, to transfer both men and women from non-essential occupations to war industry to speed up the output of weapons of all kinds and, although the plan will be mainly voluntary, compulsion will be used if necessary. The Earl of Winterton, a Conservative, asserted that Bevin’s plan smacked of socialism. Laborite James Griffiths said “we are now paying the price of having allowed the industrial equipment of this country to rot for 20 years when our coal mines, workshops and shipbuilding yards were closed down by the financial interests.” Bevin made it clear in his announcement that the drastic plan foresees important sacrifices by both employers and workers with the Government acting as supreme umpire to see that each group gets fair play. Provides Mobile Force The plan is designed to get the most out of Britain’s manpower in dealing with the urgent problems of shipbuilding, plane construction and war production. It provides for the creation of af “permanent, organized mobile labor force” to be set up quickly to unload and repair ships. Bevins admitted that bottlenecks still existed in the aircraft industry and some plants at times worked less than full capacity because of changes of types. But “the supply of aircraft, which started as a small stream, has grown to the size of a river and soon will reach full flow.”

It would place State The bill was reported out several days ago by the Roads Committee (Rep. Herbert ‘Copeland, chairman). It was up for final action yesterday. Rep. Herbert Copeland explained that it would favor small filling station owners by exempting them from the $3.50 store tax.
“This looks like trouble. You're exempting only one class,” a Democrat said. Minority Leader Winfield K. Denton asked: “How much would this take out of the State Government?” “It affects about 2000 owners,” said Rep. Copeland. And House members mentally figured that would be about $7000 out of the State Treasury. Rep. Howard Batman, Democrat, asked that the bill be made a special order of business for tomorrow. His motion carried by a standing vote of 41 to 38. Then the Democrats started investigating. They say they learned that all the state’s filling stations would be exempted from the chain store tax. And they claim that instead of $3.50, the tax is graduated up to $150.50 for firms with 20 stations or more. From the store license division, they claim, they learned that revenue would be cut $150,000 by this bill, about 30 per cent of the division’s annual receipts. Some backers of the bill say the major oil companies are getting around the tax by leasing out their stations anyhow. But the Democrats say one large firm whose owners contributed heavily to the G. O. P. campaign fund in Indiana is “interested” actively in the bill, It should be quite a fight when the bill comes up again at 11 a. m. Thursday.
