Great Britain was reported' in dipomatic the atate its attitude toward any German move to send troops through Hungary. Following' published reports permission, these sources said British Minister Owen St.

Clair O'Malley had asked Hungarian Premier County Pal Teleky to dare his country's stand. Teleky refused a definite answer, according to these ants, saying Hungary's attitude would depend on circumstances when and Germany got ready to move. O'Malley was reported to have offered support of the British army and air force if Hungary chose to resist any German attempt to march through. May 8 JP--Reports of a request for; a German army right-of-way through Hungary and a strong British drive to weld the Balkans into a "defensive alliance" gave new shape today to Southeastern Europe's war fears. It was generally felt; that the belligerents, searching, for a battlefield, had picked this corner of Europe as a likely place to fight.

The report of a German'request on Hungary for free passage of legions into the southeast-presumably an action to be taken when strategy dictates--was carried by the official Hungarian news agency with a note saying thus far the report could not be verified. It was circulated on the heels of word in Balkan diplomatic circles of redoubled British to line up Yugoslavia, Rumania, Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey for a united stand against any "aggression." Hound-About Story The method by which the re- jport of the German right-of-way request was given currency was roundabout. It was published first in a Belgrade, Yugoslavia, newspaper, Politika, credited to Poli- tika's Budapest correspondent. Nationally Prominent Episcopal Bishop Speaks Here Tomorrow The Right Reverend Robert Nelson Spencer, D. of Kansas City, bishop of the West Missouri diocese of the Church, will deliver the address tomorrow- night at Religious Emphasis Week services.

Bishop Spencer is considered one of the outstanding preachers of i Missouri and the nation. In addition he is a lecturer of.note and an author and poet. When efforts were made recently to assure hii appearance here, the secretary of the Ministerial Alliance in Kansas City referred to him as in greater demand as a speaker than any other person in Kansas City. A Pie was labeled an outstanding preacher of the nation in 1936 by the Federated Council of Churche of Christ in America, when he toured the United States as a member of a for that group. Bishop Spencer is the author of The Seer's House," book just published.

In that book he deals largely with the problem of war and peace and forecasts a peace after the fall of Hitler. The foreword in that book gives; a fair line on his wide range of service. In that foreword he explains that most of the book was spoken on noondays in Lent, in St. Bartholomew's Church, New York City, St. Paul's Church, Ballimore, the Harris Theater, Chicago, and in Church, Houston, Tex.

His address here will be titled "In Trust With' the Gospel" and will be based largely on the word of Saint Paul.

JP-The House passed and sent 'to the Senate today a resolution rejecting President Roosevelt's fourth government reorganization order The Hungarian news agency then reproduced the story. Although officials said that publication of the dispatch by Hungarian agency was "a mistake," the agency failed to issue an order eliminating the dispatch. Several times in the past, inspired Hungarian newspapers, as well as the news agency, have taken such a devious course to tell Hungarians what was inside their country.

About 75 Democrats voted with a solid Republican membership for nullification of the reorganization order.

The Senate reorganization committee postponed study of a proposal to kill the order until after the House acted. One 'hundred school administrators, librarians secretaries now employed in the Moberly public school system, with one exception, were re-employed for the 1940-41 term of school last night at a regular meeting- of the board of education.

"Any Allied attempt to extend the war into Southeastern Europe might force Germany and Italy to put into action much greater forces for the immediate frustration of any such attempt." Yugoslavia On Edge The Balkan tension appeared at its peak in Yugosalvia. That nation, reported with 300,000 veteran troops already on her Italian and German frontiers, was calling 300,000 more men to the colors while improving fortifications and other defenses.

Lloyd George, who led Britain to victory in the World War, vehemently denounced the Chamberlain administration for "unintelligent" and "half-hearted" lead- ershipf.

Alfred Duff Cooper, former first lord of the admiralty in the Chamberlain government and a Conservative member of the House, announced he would bolt his party to vote against the ca- Unet. The issue "is too urgent in he said, for "any 'man to wash his hancu like Pontius Pilate, and take neither one side nor the other." In one of the tensely dramatic moments of the debate on Britain's reversal in the World War leader faced the present war leader across a table on. the Commons flo Demands Sacrifice Pointing a finger directly at Chamberlain, he- said prime minister had spoken of sacrifice, then added bitterly: "There is nothing would contribute to the cause of victory; in this war than that he jjacrifICQ the seals of office." said Chamberlain had every and peace and FORMER RESIDENT In the southeast sections peaches also had excellent prospects.

Lloyd George's heavy fire came after Herbert Morrison, vigorous Labor leader and virtual czar, of London's municipal government, had announced a motion for a vote of non-confidence at the end of a bitter speech in which he declared if Chamberlain and his principal advisers stayed in office "we run a grave risk of losing the war." Picking up where Chamberlain finished yesterday, the prime minister his air minister, Sir Samuel Hoare, continued the government case with the first lord of the admiralty, Winston Churchill, still waiting to be heard later tonight. Rising quickly after Morrison's motion was introduced, the prime minister declared he and his colleagues "will not be slow to accept their, responsibility."
