Russia's red army and navy began secret maneuvers
today as German troops were reported pledged to defend
Rumania against further Soviet land-grabbing in south*
east Europe
The guarantee of little Rumania's future integrity
coincided with the Balkan kingdom's capitulation to an
axlNHlictated threat of immediate attack, and her sur-
render of half the World War-won province of Transyl-
vania to Hungary.
With Russia threatening "grave consequences" to
Rumania in the event of further border hostilities, the
Red fleet prepared to stag * a "mock" sea battle in an
undiacloaed locale and the Red army opened maneuvers
in what was described as "the western special military
district."
In' westem Europe, meanwhile, hundreds of high-
" zi warplanes attempted three times in five hours
