Nazis Giving Rumania War Supplies in Exchange for Oil
PLANES GUNS
DELIVERED TO
UTTLENATION
Materials Might Be
Used Against Reds
In Case of Soviet
Interference
WASHINGTON — i/P/— Germany
in return for continued shipments
of badly-needed Rumanian oil. is
sending Rumania war implements
and supplies which would help
that nation fight off any aggres-
sion in the Balkans.
Authoritative sources disclosed
Tuesday that the Nazis despite
their war with Great Britain and
France had delivered 70 Heinkel
bombing planes 70 Heinkel pursuit
planes anti-tank guns and am-
munition to the Rumanian army.
Regular large scale deliveries were
continuing these sources said
All munitions and equipment
contracted for the Rumanian gov-
ernment with the Skoda arms plant
before the outbreak for the Euro-
pean war have been delivered it
was reported and Germany has
pledged deliveries of recently-or-
dered military supplies.
G -mans Supervise
Skoda one of Europe's greatest
arms manufacturing plants was
taken over by Germany when the
latter occupied Czechoslovakia
In Rumania it is common knowl-
edge that Germany is shipping
Diesel engines and periscopes to
tr.c Galatz • Rumania• shipouilding
plant. German technical experts
there are supervising construction
ol submarines under German li-
cense. for the Rumanian navy.
Germany's need of Rumanian oil
is so ureat. it is pointed out by-
analysts of international affairs
that she is providing equipment
and supplies which might be used
against Russia her partner in non-
ay gression and economic pacts in
order to insure continued ship-
ments.
Reds Claim Bessarabia
Soviet Russia has never given up
her claim to Bessarabia an area
between Hie Dniester and Pruth
rivers which was awarded to Ru-
mania alter the World War and
the Bolshevists’ rise to power.
The possibility Germany herself
might attack Rumania is dismissed
by most analysts lor the present
&i least on the grounds that her
chief desire now is to maintain
peace in the Balkans so they may
continue supplying needed raw ma-
terials and foodstuffs to the Ger-
man forces.
Rumania is accepting war sup-
plies instead of cash for oil sold to
Germany because of the latter's
shortage of foreign exchange.

Correct Costuming Is
Urged
There is to be no excuse for what
constitutes an authentic Charro or
China Poblana costume. Mrs Mar-
guerite Hemery. head of the
Brownsville Junior high school's art
department says.
The Junior high art department
has a display in the window of Har-
grove's Book Store here depicting
the authentic dress of the Charro
fiesta.
The drawings were made by Ju-
nior high students irom authentic
costumes. Many of the costumes
were imported from Mexico. The
students acted as models.
Mrs. Hemery said that the dis-
play will be changed each weekend
to give the public a variety of pro-
posed costuming.
The wearing of authentic Charrc
Days costumes for the fiesta here
February 1-4. inclusive has beer
stressed a score of times by Ken-
neth Fa: i n. president of Charrc
Days. Inc. as one of the essentials i
of the annual celebration.
Discouraging the wearing ol
