Through Rumanian Surrender— i
AXIS, RUSSIA NEARER CLASH
By J. W. T. MASON
United Press War Expert
Rumanian surrender to Hungar-
ian territorial demands, under
Italo-German pressure brings Hit-
ler and Mussolini nearer to a clash
with Russia over irreconcilable
vital interests. Stalin is renewing
today his threatening attitude to-
ward Rumania and his Black Sea
fleet is becoming active as a ges-
ture of disquietude over extension
of German and Italian influences
in the Balkans
It was Stalin who started the
Danubian tension by selling Besa-
arabla and Bukovina He is not so
short-sighted as to have believed
nazi and fascist diplomacy would
allow him v seek a paramount po-
sition in southeastern Europe with-
out a struggle. To the present the
response of the totalitarian dicta-
tors has been the peaceful sever-
ance of Rumanian territory for the
benefit of Bulgaria and Hungary.
This shrewd maneuver brings
Bulgaria and Hungary within the
circle of German and Italian dip-
lomatic control not through fear
but by community of material in-
terests Bulgaria and Hungary can
hold what they here been allowed
to grab only through Hitter's and
Mussolini’s good will.
If Russia allows this situation
to continue. Stalin must confess
i himself defeated in the struggle for
Balkan control, for it was an-
nounced recently in Moscow that
Russia's influences in southeast-
ern Europe must not be jeopardized.
’ Today, however, the slav is checked.
The first open intimation that the
check is backed by military power
is contained in Rumania's an-
serves because of the Russian enig-
ma.
Germany and Russia have a 10-
year non-aggression pact. Germany,
however had a similar treaty with
Poland, and Hitler frequently
pointed to it as evidence of his
peaceful intentions No paper agree-
ments is trustworthy between Stal-
in and Hitler. Both know this, as
the drift toward pre-war enmity,
temporarily halted last year, now
seems well under way, as the con-
sequence of the turn of events in
the Balkans.
Friends Gather for
Last Rites Here of
Veteran Clergyman
Friends and renow church work-
ers from many points were here
today to attend the funeral of Dr.
E S. Lowrance, 72, veteran Pres-
byterian minister who died at his
Dallas home Wednesday night.
The rites were set at 2:30 p.
m. at the First Presbyterian church.

followed by the explosion of bombs,

RESISTANCE FIRM
Repeatedly the raiders stormed
j against the capital's outlying de-
fenses only to meet with firm re-
|sistance
The German attackers, who lost
st least 19 planes in their first at-
tempt to reach the London area,
shifted their route for the second
try
The day’s second alarm sounded
ebout 3:30 p. m (3:30 a. m. CST)
but the all clear signal came six
minutes later.
An hour before the afternoon
alarm sounded all battles were re-
ported over southeastern England,
while the raiders were trying to
cross over another section.
While the battle still raged, the
air ministry issued this com-
munique:
Reports received up to 2 p. m
(7 a m. CST) show that 19 enemy
aircraft are known to have been
shot down. Six of our own aircraft
have been lost bu- the pilot of one

(The Berlin radio reported 41
British planes shot down over Eng-
land and only six German planes
lost.)
Undeterred by their losses, the
Germans apparently returned to
the atu k by another route after
only a few hours of trying to force
their way through the city's de-
fenses from the southeast.

ATLANTA. Aug. 30.—(P)—Bulfa-
thiazole, a baby member of the
amaaing sulfanilamide family, is
bidding strongly for recognition as
the long-sought, effective weapon
against dysentery bacilli, rugged
pest equally at home in nursery or
army camp
At Henrietta Egleston hospital for
children, physicians have watched
this drug snore repeated, spectscu-
lar victories over acute dysentery in
children one to three years old.
The hospital staff is unwilling
yet to say positively that ‘thiazole
is the long-needed curative agent
for this ancient 111, but it definitely
is encouraged.
The drug was first made available
for experimental use about a year
ago and Egleston was among the
first to receive supplies of it Sul-
fathlazole was designed primarily
to attack staphylococele infections,
sa sulfanilamide deals with the
dread streptococcus
Suifathiazole was used in treat-
ment of pneumonia and did its work
here with fewer unfavorable reac-
tions than sulfapyridine but the
real “kick" came from the dramatic
outcome of the first test in s vidu-
lent dysentery infection.
This disease heretofore has been
fought without the aid of any spe-
cific curative agent. Serums and
various forms of medication have
been tried without consistent or
extensive results.
