! Premier lionel Bratian',, c,:-'1!l enemy
of the exiled former crown Prince
Carol, died today. The dying prime
minister was comforted in his last
! hours by visit from Carols mother,

/ to deal with any demonstrations by
sympathizers with Carol. He will be
acting premier until after the funeral,
| which has been set for Sunday.

convict Mihail Manoilescu of plotting
to restore Carol to the throne as the
acquittal was hailed by his opponents
as victory for Carol in his desire to
return to Runania from France.
! Bratianu underwent an operation
yesterday for an abscess of the throat
due to tonsilitis. A silver tube was
/ inserted in his Windpipe to aid in
! breathing. Late in the night, however,

In last heroic effort to save the
iron man" of Rumania, surgeons had
removed a diseased gland in the left
side of the lower jaw. When the sur

demurred at first, and the yielded. He
was delirious at times but recognized
those around him although too en-
feebled to speak to them. Members
of the cabinet we're at his bedside and
Queen Marie, who visited him in the
evening, kept in constant telephone
communication with those at the bed
side.
