They said further that Rumanian staff officers have established contact at Ankara with Turkish strategists. Additional Rumanian regiments entrained for Bessarabia today, and diplomatists said Viaeheslav Molotov, Russian foreign commissar, has ask ed the Rumanian minister in Mos cow, Nicolai Davidescu, about his government's attitude toward Rus sia’s “right” to regain this province, which went to Rumania in the post World war settlement. Informed quarters understood that Russia was pushing the transfer of veteran troops from the former Fin nish front to the Bessarabian fron tier. Reach Agreement In an effort, however, to lessen the risk of frontier incidents, Ru mania was reported reliably to have reached a tentative agreement with Russia under which the troops of each country will stay ten kilome ters (6 1-4 miles) behind the border. The negotiations were said to have been carried on with the assistance of Adrien Thierry, French ambassa dor to Rumania, who. is reported leaving for Paris tomorrow to make a report. Nevertheless, many Rumanians ex pressed the fear that the Allies’ pre occupation with Norway may en , courage Russia to risk a quick ag [ gressive adventure in southeastern j Europe. Others, however, believed British envoys returning to their Balkan posts after conferences in London will bring new assurances of full Al lied support against attack from any quarter. The Allies already have given formal pledges to Rumania of help in the event of aggression. King Carol took a further step to ward uniting the country under his control by naming Ion Mihalache, former leader of the dissolved na tional peasant party, a member of the royal council.

Senator Lucas (D-Ill) asked Admiral Harold R. Stark, chief of naval operations, if he thought it was necessary to add this amount to the more than $1,000,000,000 a year which the navy has estimated will be required to take care of new construction, replacements and maintenance already approved by congress. Stark had estimated that the total additional cost for the pro posed six-year expansion program would run to $3,800,000,000. “I am interested in national de fense,” Lucas observed, ‘‘but I am also interested in that $3,800,000,000.” “If I may say so, senator,” the admiral replied, “we are, too. Just because I’m in the navy—well, I'm still a citizen and I’m interested in the finances of the country.” Stark insisted that the end of the European war might still find the navy lagging far behind In ship con struction unless steps were taken immediately to expand the limits within which it now is building.
