World Series) Deadlocked With Three Games Each
German Troops And Anti-Aircraft
Guns Are Sent To Rumania To
Protect Hitler’s Fuel, Oil Supply
UNDATED, Oct. 7 iJP) — Ger
many sent troops to Rumania as
a “precautionary” move author
ized Nazis in Berlin reported, sup
porting their guarantee to safe
guard Rumania’s integrity. They
said “We haven’t forgotten the
British designs on Baku and oth
er oil points.” The Nazi quarters
* said while this indicated that the
troops were sent to protect Ru
mania’s rich oil fields and supply
of fuel and lubrication for Hit
ler’s war machine, it recalled Ger
many’s pledge to Rumania of
August 30 which called for the
protection against any further en
croachment on the Balkin king
dorn's dwindling borders. At that
time the agreement was said to
have been aimed at halting Rus
sia in any new land grabbing
| coups in south east Europe.
Dispaches from London said
the British government was
1 awaiting further details “on re
ports that Germany had sent
troops and anti-aircraft guns to
Rumania to, shall we say, pro
tect their interests there.” Brit
ain last week sharply protested
to Rumania against the reported
beating and kidnaping of British
subjects there, particularly oil
men operating British-controlled
| oil fields in Rumania.

Italian Troops Arrive Rumania
Nazi Soldier Tells Of Thousands
Brave Germans Burning For Action
c
UNDATED. Oct. 7 (A*i — A
British radio report from Buch
arest said Italian troops also ar
rived in Rumania to “protect It
alian interests." Word spread
through the Rumanian capital
that Germany is planning the as
i sistance of “construction of a
great base for warships and plan
es in the Black Sea, presumably
to offset “Turkey’s strategic Dar
j danelles.”
After a comparatively quiet.
| night, rough flying weather ham :
pering Nazi and RAF raiders.,
aerial activity exploded anew on I
both sides of the channel. While ■
i British bombers staged daylight!
attacks on Nazi-he’d channel in
vasion ports, shipping and Ger
i man barge concentrations, RAF
fighters repeatedly engaged Ger
trmn attackers and dive bombers
which machine gunned English
coastal towns.
-Brillian sunshine, calm seas,
and the mist-veiled French coast
offered an almost ideal setting
for the invlasion attempt but
high German sources put a dam
per” on a troop landing hint by
a Nazi soldier reporter who de
clared "the German air force
may soon be followed by hun
dreds of thousands of brave Ger
man soldiers who are in readi
ness and burning for action."
These sources emphasized that
the soldier reporter was merely
“reporting what he saw and ex
pressed his own private opinion.”
However, in Rome, Ciano’s
newspaper asserted that the de
cisions reached by Hitler and
Mm o ini in Friday's secret meet
ing at Brenner Pass, will soon
be “translated into facts.”
