More Sabotage in Rumanian Oilfields
GERMANS BLAME BRITISH; SOVIET BLAMES IRON GUARD Received Monday, 9.25 p.m. LONDON, Dec. 16. The German radio declared that the British have carried out new acts of sabotage in the Rumanian oilfields. The railway from Ploesti to Bucharest will be interrupted for several days after the dynamiting of the bridge and a fire a few days ago destroyed two large oil tanks. Another mysterious fire occurred in a timber depot in the oil region. A Bucharest message says at least 61 miners are dead and many entombed after an explosion 600 feet under the surface in a mine at Lupeni in Transylvania. The Moscow radio blames the Iron Guard for the sabotage.
