Conservatives Bury
London Peace Talk
BUCHAREST, June 27.-(A')-Ru-
mania bowed tonight to a Soviet
demand for great areas of her terri-
tory, and moved nearly 2,000,000
men into Transylvania to meet an
expected Hungarian attempt to re-
gain that former Magyar province.
Despite earlier reports that Red
troops already were on the march,
it was disclosed late tonight that
Russia had agreed to hold back from
the actual occupation of the ceded
areas-Bessarabia and Northern Bu-
covina-until the last details of the
capitulation had been worked out.
The capital was quiet tonight. The
officially censored press still was not
permitted to publish a word of the
Red ultimatum or of King Carol's
acceptance.
Whether she fights Hungary or
not, whether Bulgaria presses her
own territorial claim for Southern
Dobruja or lets it lie, Rumania,
World War heir to Balkan suprem-
acy, was well on the road to dismem-
berment.
Peace Rumors Buried
In London
LONDON, June 28 (Friday)-V)-
The Conservative Party of Britain
buried peace rumors today with a
statement that it is wholeheartedly
supporting Prime Minister Winston
Churchill and the Government's de-
termination to fight the war to a
victory.
Still dominant in British politics
despite replacement of its leader,
Neville Chamberlain, as prime min-
ister by Churchill, the party said
that suggestions a powerful faction
of the party headed by Chamber-
lain "is prepared to come to terms
with Adolf Hitler" were "rumors ob-
viously inspired from fifth column
sources."
Air Raids Continue
On Industrial Centers
BERLIN, June 27.-)-Germany
and England exchanged raid for raid
against each other's industrial and
munitions centers as 'European eyes
tonight turned speculatively toward
the Balkans where Rumania sub-
mitted to a Russian ultimatum strip-
ping it of Bessarabia and Northern
Bucovina.
Attention of press and officialdom
was directed toward the promised
forthcoming attack on England. It
was repeatedly emphasized that
England will pay "five to one, 10
to 1, 1,000 to 1" for injuries to Ger-
many's population in what the high
command described as Britain's
random bombing of non-military ob-
jectives.

CONVENTION HALL, PHILA-
DELPIA, June 28 (Friday) -(P)-
Wendell Willkie, the 48-year-old
political miracle man, stampeded
the Republican National Convention
early today into a sixth-vote nom-
ination as its 1940 Presidential can-
didate.
The Indiana-born utilities execu-
tive, who has fought the New Deal
up hill and down dale for years,
surged into the Convention with
105 votes on the first ballot and
gained by big jumps on each suc-
ceeding roll call until the nomina-
tion was his.
Running third at the start to
Thomas E. Dewey and Senator Rob-
ert A. Taft, he quickly passed both,
and then he and Taft left Dewey
so far to the rear that during the
fifth ballot the New York district
attorney withdrew and released his
delegates.
Noisy Crowd
It was a spectacular noisy crowd
that watched Willkie reach the last
rung of his brief and abrupt rise
from dark horse to Convention stam-
peder and Republican nominee.
From the start it was for Willkie.
It shouted for him, it yelled for him,
stamped and applauded every time
a single gain for its candidate was
registered. Taft had his supporters
in the galleries, too, but judging by
the noise, they were badly outnum-
bered at all times.
The break to Willkie came abrupt-
ly on the last three ballots.pGov.
Alf M. Landon, the 1936 nominee,
announced that his Kansas delega-
tion had swung solidly from Sen-
ator Capper to Willkie. On the same
roll call Willkie bagged 75 New York
votes, where he had had only a few
of them before.
Willkie Off To Lead
When the sixth call of the roll
began the race had narrowed down
to one between Willkie and Taft,
and the former got away to a lead.
Sensing the moment it had been
awaiting, the moment in which a
possible future President of the
United States was being made, the
crowd leaned forward.
Finally, Virginia's vote gave Will-
kie 303 votes-two more than were
required.

The University of Michigan and
the National Collegiate Golf Tour-
nament parted company yesterday.
The pair lost their last connecting
link in yesterday's second round of
match play as Jack Emery, the only
Wolverine in the field, was removed
from it by Princeton's Peter Page,
president-elect of the College Golf
Association.
Emery couldn't win a hole on the
entire outgoing nine. He halved sev-
en of them, but Page took the third

ery took four shots on each of these
holes.

duced Page's lead to a single point

Treatsl
Lakes
Survey

To the student of American speech
Dixie's northern boundary is not the
Mason and Dixon line, said Prof.
Albert H. Marckwardt Thursday in
discussing "The Survey of Folk
Speech in the Great Lakes Area" be-
fore the Linguistic Institute lunch-
eon conference.
The pronunciation "greazy," he
pointed out, "is a southern character-
istic found through Indiana as far
north as Fort Wayne." Similarly
the Hoosier will speak of a "pulley-
bone," using a term common in
North Carolina and Virginia, instead
of saving "wishbone" the word gen-

Wisconsin. Of each informant, Pro-
fessor Marckwardt explained, the
field worker asksrabout 550 questions
during several interviews totalling
seven or eight hours. The replies
provide information, often uncon-
sciously revealed, about local pro-
nunciatiois, grammatical peculiari-
ties, and 'regional names for objects.
Pronunciation is recorded in a com-
plex phonetic transcription.
Supported by a grant from the
Rackham Research Fund, the project
in itself will produce by. the end of
the current year more than 50 field
records gathered from such inform-
ants, Dr. Marckwardt said. Recent
aid from the University of Wiscon-
sin and Ohio State University in
the supplying of an investigator to
