Seven suspects, including an Orthodox priest, were questioned at police headquarters on charges of plotting wholesale murders with hand grenades.

Police said that among the intended Victims of the plot were Premier Ar-Jnand Calinescu and Foreign Minister Grigore Gafencu. Hundreds of detectives raided the homes of former followers of Corneliu Codreanu, known a Rumania's "Little Hitler" before King Carol suppressed his anti-Semitic, pro-German party. Police said 22 hand grenades vere found in the home of one suspect. The Iron Guards, before Carol Inaugurated his own Fascist-type, single-party system in February, 1938, openly advocated complete cooperation with Nazi Germany in foreign and considered excellent for short observation missions, and as couriers between headquarters of major tactical units. Some of these planes will be furnished to the national guard and tiyt organized reserves.

WASHINGTON, June 17 0P Government officials, an informed source said today, have worked out a proposed quota system for exports of scrap iron and steel which would drastically restrict Japan's purchases here of metals vitally necessary in manufacturing munitions. The system, which may be recommended to congress shortly, would have the effect of cutting Japan's purchases of the metals to perhaps one-third of their present volume while not mentioning Japan, nor, ostensiblv. being aimed at any particular nation. The plan goes like this: The total shipment of American scrap iron and steel to all purchasers have been computed over several periods embracing a number of years (10 is the figure most frequently mentioned) and the yearly average taken. Japan's huge purchases of sera-) have been made in just the last or three years.

In 1933 they were only 500,000 tons, whereas in 1937 they ro to 1,901,202 tons and in 1938 were 1,301,901. By taking the yearly average ana making that a maximum, a law can be recommended to congress which would say in effect: "Exports of scrap iron and steel shall be permitted under licenses to be issued by the state department only in amounts not to exceed the yearly average of exports of any one countrv over a period of blank years to-date Japan's purchases of scrap would thereupon fall to less than 500,000 tons annually, it is estimated.

Codreanu and 13 of his followers were killed November 30, 1938, "while attempting to flee" a concentration camp. It was the third assassination plot reported against the 45-year-old king or members of his government this year.

Sunday is the anniversary WASHINGTON. June 17 (UP) We took a census of the census bureau today and found they expected to end up with 338,196 pencil stubs when they got through taking the 16th decennial census next year. And that isn all. From here on we quote the bureau's press agent, who is a cross between a gatling gun and a stock exchange annunciator when it comes to shooting figures. "The bureau expects to use 6.472 pints of blue-black ink; 8.S00 pounds of paste: 11,000 typewriter ribbons; 450 adding machines; 300 calculating machines: 600 typewriters: 500,000.000 Tells Danzig Nazis Hitler Is Determined to Bring Free City to Reich date.

ferent derivatives of petroleum are marketed by this one company alone. Standard of Indiana was the first in its territory to develop a great system for distributing petroleum products in bulk by tank cars from refineries to local bulk plants and thence by tank wagons to retail distributors. Originally the products were packaged in barrels and cans, but with the invention of the tank wagon, truly a most important vehicle in its day, still larger quantities could be carried from refinery to bulk plant tank, and thence to tanks in the back rooms of stores. Early tank wagons seen on the streets of Chicago were drawn by one horse and held 200 to 300 gallons. Soon the big teams of Standard Oil horses were as familiar a sight as the Percherons of the packers and the brewers.

At one time the company used about 10,000 horses and mules.

It was also the beginning of Standard Oil Company of Indiana itself. The history of Standard of Indiana over the 50 years is typical cf the story of the development of the oil industry. Crude oil was purchased ai the beginning wherever it could be obtained most economically and was distilled in crude vessels that were but little more than teapots. The principal product was kerosene for stoves and lamps. Gasoline was a drug on the market, used only slightly in stoves and patent lamps.

The advent of the automobile changed everything. The rapid growth in use of gasoline as engine fuel and the demand for motor lubricants caused a rapid growth also of the Indiana company and all others in the business in the period from about 1910 Hear A rtie Shaw incent Lopez Glenn Miller 'Fats" Waller on BLUEBIRD RECORDS 35c 3 for 1.00 Latest Releases on Victor Decca BUDD'S MUSIC HOUSE "Everything In Music" 318 S.
