Ban Includes Other Buyers; Dpnube River Police Strengthened; Rumania Need for Oil Precedes Other Orders SHORT INTERRUPTION BLOW TO NAZIS By DANIEL DE LUCE — Associated Pren Staff Writer BUCHAREST, April 15 (AP). — Rumania tonight j banned temporarily all exports of wheat to Germany and other ! foreign buyers and at the same time strengthened her Danube [River Police to protect the Reich's vital shipping from any possible attempt at sabotage. Officials said wheat exports would be discontinued at least until after this year's harvest, which, it was estimated, .vould be insufficient to meet Rumania's own needs.. Simultaneously the Government Economic Council announced that measures had been taken to "assure adequate reserves of oil, coal and wood for Rumania's army and railroads. Rumania's military and transport requirements for petroleum are to take precedence over deliveries abroad, but officials indicated later these were expected to be filled without serious interruption.

(By Radio) — Norwegian military headquarters tonight announced the recapture of Narvik, Arctic ore port, with the aid of British naval units and said British marines and soldiers had landed at several Norwegian coastal points with new light artillery and complete equipment. t These units have been joined by the Norwegians, the Norwegian command said, and a "great number" of Norwegian pilots, who have been grounded by a lack of warplanes have been attached to British naval units as a result of the delivery of British planes.

Rumania's output is much larger than her internal consumption. They said the Council's action, therefore, could not be interpreted as interference with exports of oil to Germany. The action came on the heels of the establishment by Rumania of a strict control Hf traffic on the vital Danube waterway, a move regarded by some sources as an effort to eliminate any possible pretext for Germany to send armed forces into the neutral Bal kans countries to prevent what the Nazis term "British sabotage."

SANDER80N Canadian Pr«n Staff Writer LONDON, April IS (CP Cable).- Britain lias taken ateps to safeguard Allied interests ln Iceland, strategic Uland In the Arctic which could be used as a naval base to command the North Atlantic sea lanes, it was learned tonight. It is presumed that the British Government haa warned Iceland ot its dangerous position aa a result of German occupation ot Denmark and because of its inability to protect itself and safeguard Its neutrality. Iceland, the wbrld's oldest democ racy, and Denmark are bound to gether by common allegiance to King Christian. At the moment, it ia learned, there is no plan to occupy Iceland such as was done with the Faroe Islands — the little group of Danish Islands between the Shetlands and Iceland—but steps have been taken to see that Germany docs not use the rocky, barren shores ol Iceland aa a submarine base or a sheltered preserve for marauding surface raiders. There is a disposition here to regard Greenland as within the Canadian sphere erf influence and leave to Ottawa any action to guard Allied Interests in that Danish possession. Greenland, although of minor strategic importance to Germany in comparison with Iceland, has great economic value because it possesses 60 per cent ol the world supply of cryolite, essential mineral in manufacture ol aluminum. -NELSON DAILY NEWS, NELSON, B.

Cyclists Hear Officers Upon Traffic Rules Forty members of the Nelson Outdoor and Cycle Club, including the girls' branch and others interested in traffic regulations, heard Constable R. A. Lees of the B. C. Police Highway Patrol and Constable George Fisher of the City Police give talks on safety regulations, especially those pertaining to cyclists, at the Cathedral Hall Monday night. Constable Lees said that at present Nelson was as bad aB any place in B. C. for traffic infractions, and he would like to have the cooperation of the cyclists in improving the situation. He explained the various traffic signals, and among the "don'ts" he advised were not to drive three or four abreast, not to carry parcels and not to ride except with both hands on the hande-bar. He believed that the club would be a great help in setting examples for other bicycle riders in Nelson. In regard to lights, he said that each bicycle should have a light that could be seen for three-quarters of a block, with a reflector on the back and a 12-Inch white painted strip on the rear fender. He in formed his listeners that a new rule that pedestrians had to walk on the left hand side of the highway to face on-coming traffic, also ap- plied to cyclists when they were walking up a hill pushing their bikes. Constable Fisher said that if thc cyclist's light burned out, he should walk home with his mount. If an accident was to happen to a club member, it could spoil the reputation of the entire club. He also advised regular adjustment of brakes. He said he would like to see the organlration of a school traffic patrol, the cyclists also being able ;o take part, and he explained how such a set-up would work.

April 13 (AP), —The Oslo German-controlled broadcasting station tonight reported that Major Vidkun Quisling has resigned as the Prime Minister of the puppet Government he set up after the German invasion and had been replaced by Provincial Governor In- golf Elster Christensen. Quisling was made Chief of Demobilization (presumably of the Norwegian forces in German-occupied territory). The radio station announced a Governmental Committee had been appointed to take the lead in ad- mi n i s t e r 1 n g German-occupied districts. It was announced representatives of this committee had been received by German authorities to whom they declared their loyal attitude. Born in 1872, Christensen is a former Captain in the Norwegian army.

WESTERN FRONT ACTIVITY EASES PARIS, April 15 ^AP).—Reinforced French parties fought two engagements with German troops near Luxembourg and farther East at the edge of the Palatinate forest on the Western front today. The results of the two encounters in widely separated sectors were not given in the brief communique of the High Command, which indicated, however, that the pace of hostilities had slackened somewhat from that of the two previous days. The communique spoke of the encounters as "sharp local engagements." The French said this morning that on the Alsatian sector they succeeded in opening a hole in German entanglements for a brief clash, and that they then withdrew after inflicting casualties. The Germans were said to have been repulsed by machine guns West of the Vosges Mountains. RUPTURED? EXPERT TRUSS FITTING Since 1916 Schindler Artificial Limb & Trusi Co. 407 Sprague, Spokane, Wn.
