Hungary Under German Control • LONDON. March 21—(UP) An estimated 150.000 German troops were repotted in full control of Hungary today despite scattered resistance. and .European dispatches said both Regent Adm. Nicholas Horthy and Premier Nicholas Kallay had been seised 5n the swift coup designed to forestall a Hungarian peace move. Full details of the situation in Hungary remained obscure because of the severance of all communication with Budaptest, but the clandestine radio Atlantic said Nazi troops had occupied all strategically-im-portant points in Germany's jittery Balkan satellite, including railways radio stations, telephone exchanges and government buSdings. Pro-Hungarian •Ou.rces in Swed»n reported heavy fighting had broken

out between their countrymen and German occupation troops and the London Daily Mail said Hungarian military authorities early today had | broadcast a dramatic message asserting that the “fight must and will continue.” Both these reports appeared to have been circulated primarily to win allied sympathy, however, and all other signs indicated that such resistance as was offered was spasmodic and disorganized. Gen. Helyi Szumbathy, chief of the Hungarian general staff, was known to head a pro-German clique.

Fighting Brisk In North Burma

NEW DELHI, March 21. (UP) — Chinese forces which swept the Japanese out of the Hukawng valley pushed into narrow Jambu Bum pass today for a drive to clear the Mogaung valley in northern Burma while on the central front British imperial troops fought to stem a threepronged enemy offensive aimed at the Indian city of Imphal. Lt. Gen. Joseph W. Stilwell's Chinese, aided by American infantrymen, were reported fighting their most difficult battle since the northern Burma campaign began, facing a long 40-mile march through strongly fortified Japanese hill positions before they will reach level ground in the Mogaung valley. They captured Jambu Bum, a small rugged mountain between the Mogaung and Hunkawng valleys, Sunday—Stilwell's 61st birthday anniversary—to make gr.od the American general’s prediction nine days earlier that the entire Hukawng “will soon be ours.” Frank Hewlett United Press wnr correspondent with the ChineseAmerican troops, reported that Stilwell's men had advanced 175 miles into Burma with the capture of Jambu and were only 65 miles from tlje town of Mogaung, northern terminus of the riurma railway.

A frayed electric cord, or damaged plug, is often the cause of an annoying "blown-out” fuse. Frequently this damage results from tugging on the cord to remove it from the wall socket.' The right way to remove it is to take a firm grasp on the plug itself and pull it out. War demand for rubber and copper means that your electric cords must last for the duration. So treat them gently ... don’t play "tug of war” like the young lady abov#!

- -■ PROPER CARE OF YOUR ELECTRIC CORDS WILL ADD YEAR* TO THEIR SERVICi

When you're finished with appliances with detachable cords— irons, toasters, etc.—Dull out wall y plug first, then appliance plug.

Don't run cords under rugs where they’ll be walked on. Keep cords eway from radiators and steam pipes. Don't wrap them around hot appliances.

Finland Rejects Russian Terms ^ HEIaSINKI, March 21 (UP)—Fin1 land formally announced her rejvction of Russian armistice terms early , today, but at the same time prom- ) ised U> continue her efforts to reach , a satisfactory peace with the SovA government communique issued at the unusual hour of 5:30 a. m. (9:30 p. m. Monday CWT) said Finland could not accede in advance to the Russian demands without further clarification of their meaning. The disputed Russian demands, which the communique said would have a "far reachihg effect on the existence" of Finland, were believed to include those calling for internment of German troops and withdrawal of Finnish troops within Finland's 1940 borders in advance of armistice .negotiations. The Finnish note of rejection was sent to Moscow by way of Stockholm last weekend, and disclosure of the contents presumably was delayed until word of its delivery reached Helsinki.

HONORED AT DINNER

Four DePauw University employees, Glenn Williams, Charles Foxx, Otha Zimmerman and Ernest Boswell, who will soon leave to enter the armed forces, were honored at a dinner Monday evening at the First Baptist Church, given by DePauw

I University cmp’.oyees.

These men wish to express their thanks to those who planned the din-ner-party for them and also for the

WASHINGTON, March 21 (UP)— A decision by President Roosevelt to become a candidate for re-election will bring him face to face with a collection of knetty problems on how

to run his campaign.

If he decides to go after a fourth term, chances are the public will be told he is too busy with war strategy and his other duties as Commander-Ln-Chief to make campaign tours or public appearances. This would mean that his campaign would be conducted largely from radio microphones

in the White House.

But if Mr. Roosevelt's opposition forces him into actual stump speeches and travel through the country, he must find some way of compromising war time security with the public demands on a candidate. Since Pearl Harbor, as a means of increasing his personal safety, Mr. Roosevelt’s travels have been “secret" until such time as he was safely back in the White House. The people of towns he has visited—with Monterrey. Mexico, as the only exception—were never aware of his presence until they saw him or read

about it after he left.

In the case of the visit to Monterrey last spring, the people of that Mexican city, where the Chief Executive met President Avila Camacho of Mexico, were not told of his visit until a few hours before he arrived. Local radio stations and newspapers spread the word rapidly as soon the secret service gave its approval. Despite tfie short notice, a gib crowd lined the streets when the two Presidents made their motor trip to the

Governor’s palace.

A similar plan migh be followed this year should the President decide to make a.n active campaign. There would be little or no advance public knowledge of his presence in any given city, and the news could be spread after his arrival with no hint whatever as to what the next

point on his itinerary would be.

Even this system of half-way Secrecy would be a marked departure from the restrictions that have governed public announcement of his travels since Pearl Harbor. As It is now, and under the code Of voluntary press and radio censorship, nothing can be said about Mr. Roosevelt's whereabouts or travels unless the

White House so announces.

Political candidates, however, require intimate contact with the electroate, and it thus appears logical to expect Mr. Roosevelt—if he is a candidate again—to campaign prifn-

nrily through loudspeakers.

This type of campaign would emphasise the responsibilities of a ^ wartime Commander-In-Chief whose duties arc too pressing to permit an

old-time stump tour.
