Aviator Clyde Edward Pangborn, who flew around the world with Hugh Herndon Jr. in 1931, offered his services to the Canadian Government in Ottawa. In Sofia, where his father, George H. Earle, onetime Pennsylvania Governor, is Minister to Bulgaria, Son George H. IV, 23, decided to return to the U. S. to join the air force. "To awaken America to her own desperate situation before it's too late," mustachioed Sculptor Stuart Benson, 63, onetime ambulance driver with the American Field Service in France, planned to tour the U.

Rumania had accepted her destiny in the new Europe that Hitler plans (TIME, June 3). She will also lose Transylvania to Hungary and probably a part of the Dobruja to Bulgaria, which last week turned from Russia and began courting the Axis.

In an interview with Correspondent Anne O'Hare McCormick of the New York Times, Foreign Minister Saracoglu took pains to point out that, whereas Turkey...
Shokru Saracoglu, Turkish Foreign Minister, arrived after a day's stop off at Sofia, where he tried to thaw out Bulgaria's lingering coldness to the other Balkan powers, most of whom have stolen territory from her. M. Saracoglu, veteran of a recent three-week diplomatic scuffle at Moscow and framer of the Turkish-Allied military alliance, was accused of unnecessary bluntness before he left Ankara. He publicly said what everybody knew privately anyway-that "our country is not neutral, but is merely out of the war." Rumor had it that the Foreign Minister was cooking...
