FOUR Rumania Asks Parley, Rumor New York (AP) A Blue network broadcast from London today quoted dispatches from Turkey as saying that Premier Antonescu of Rumania will seek an armistice from Washington, London and Moscow. The network's correspondent Thomas B. Grandon said such a course had been urged upon the by an emissary he sent percher, negotiate with the United Nations." "The time is near when the Germans no longer will be able to hold the Balkans," Grandin said.

"Nothing would be less surprising than a complete collapse of Rumania." Associated Press had no confirmation of the report, which came less than 24 hours after U.S. bombers had smashed at targets in Bucharest and while Russian troops were advancing only 200 miles northeast of the Rumanian capital. Earlier the Berlin radio said Antonescu had issued a proclamation deploring the U. S. attack and calling upon his people to stand firm.

Washington Warns Against Optimism Washington (AP) The continued presence of Count Barbu Stirbey in Cairo has led to hope in responsible diplomatic quarters here that it may be possible to arrange for Rumania to break away from Germany and make her peace with the Allies in the near future. Such hope as there is, however, is guarded and those who hold it warn against false optimism on two grounds: (1) Stirbey's negotiations in Cairo do not appear near the stage of action yet, and (2) German military predominance in Rumania does not leave the Bucharest government much freedom of action to effectuate a peace even if terms were agreed on. Horthy Reported Held Palace Prisoner Madrid, Spain (AP) Direct diplomatic reports from Budapest said today that Admiral Nicholas Horthy, regent of Hungary. is held prisoner in his Budapest palace guarded by handpicked Hungarian Nazis m- manded by German Gestapo agents operating as Hungarian state police. These Hungarian Nazis are members of the Arrow Cross party of which Maj.

Ferenc Szalasi is "fuehrer." Diplomatic advices said high officers of the Hungarian army only now are learning through vine reports how the acting chief of the army staff and Premier Nicholas Kallay were tricked by the Germans into ordering Hungarian units of the Sopron, Pecs and Ujvidek garrison, who were resisting the Germans. to cease fighting and permit the free passage of German forces. It was said the true story of the events of March 18-19 now is sweeping into army garrisons in various parts of the country, leading to mass desertions and the sabotage of communications by Hungarian armed forces. (Ex-premier Kallay IS reported to have taken refuge in the Turkish embassy at Budapest). Salesman's After Hours Address Urbana Jail Judge Imposes Penalty Without Adding To Manpower Shortage Urbana (AP) For the next 90 days Salesman Edwin Legue will walk or take a bus when he calls on his customers.

Webber after he had sentenced him to 90 days in jail on a charge of drunken driving. Judge Webber, aserting he was not going to be responsible for making the manpower shortage more acute, ordered that Legue be released from jail at 6:45 a.

GOODRICH STORES BLACK COMPANY PRODUCT OF Edgewood Farms, Inc. RIDGEHELD, N. J. Hemp Program Probe Opened Washington (AP) Congress took a look today into the curtailment of domestic hemp production after hearing complaints that commercial pressure has forced abandonment of a number of processing plants. Chairman Guy M.

Gillette (D- Iowa) of a Senate agriculture subcommittee called officials of the Commodity Credit Corp. and the War Production board to testify in an inquiry to determine "if large jute and sisal interests were active in bringing about this decision." "This country was heavily dependent before the war on the importation of Philippine hemps, sisal, principally from Latin American, and jute. from India," Gillette explained. "They are used in the production of burlap and similar heavy fabrics, cordage, rope and heavier twines. "After the war started, cutting off a huge portion of the supply, there was heavy emphasis on the development of domestic substitutes.

Farmers were encouraged to expand the production of hemp and the government installed a number of processing plants, several in Iowa. "Now the government, presumably the WPB. is curtailing hemp processing and abandoning a number of plants built at onsiderable expense." Gillette said his subcommittee, investigating the use of products of farm and forest. has been bombarded with complaints that "this is one more situation in which large interests are looking to their own postwar security" by opposing development of competitive plants.
