MANO|LESCU ST|RS

Accused Rumanian Says
King Wanted Carol TO Re.
"a turn to Throne.
2. the Associated Press.


BUCHAREST, Rumania, November
12.-Manoilescu, former undersecre.
tary OF finance, who is on trial for
completely in plan for the restoration
of state rights to former Crown Prince
CarU, continued speaking in his own
defense today. He made an impas-
stoned five-hour address, which was
pronounced even by his adversaries as
magnificent effort of oratory. He
disclosed many heretofore hidden facts
concerning the late King Ferdinand's s
attitude toward Carol. and Carols
difficulties with Premier Bratianu.
The text of a letter from King
Ferdinand to the president of the
council a few days before the Kings
death, as disclosed by NJ. Manoilescu,
begged the president to bring Carol
back to his rightful place on the
throne.
Hearers in Tears.
While quoting this letter from
memory and Offering to divulge its
whereabouts, Manoilescu brought tears
to the eyes of many by its touching
appeal, and the court proceedings
were momentarily halted until com.
posure was regained.
Later in the trial, appeal was made
to NJ. Popovici, who was finance
mi lister ir the Stirbey cabinet, to con-
fir. that FerdinT / desired Carols
return and his succession insured be-
f,re he died. Popovici said he had
gathered from audiences with King
Ferdinand that the sovereign retarded
remuneration and the regency as only
transitional measures until Carol
sho Id mend his ways.
M. ManoileScu startled the court by
declaring of his own knowledge as
former assistant minister of finance
thtt there was an enormous deficit in
Rumanian finances, amounting to
$500. .000,00 lei (approXimtely $21 ,000,-
O00) "of which nobody speaks" He
charged that other great deficits
existed in the public debt and that
p-4per equilibrium could be restored
only by strong authoritative ruler.
There were gasps of surprise when
Manoilescu revealed that the govern |
ment had tried to win him over to its
side by offering him the post of |
minister at Rome or Berlin.

CHRISTMAS LIGHTING
PLANNED IN SUBURBS
Sections Propose Elaborate Dis
plays of Outdoor Effects
to Spread Cheer.

The suburbs of Washington are
planning an elaborate display of out
door lighting effects this Christmas
in an effort to beautify the communi-
ties and spread the message of Christ
mas cheer.
The Bethesda Chamber of Com
merce and the Community Center of
Wesley Heights are enthusiastic in
their praise of this movement and
are hoping that the suburban citizens
will give it their support.
During the past few years some Of
the homes in these sections have been
resplendent in their decorative
aeauty. In the windows they have
hung colored lamps ehtwined in
wreaths, on their porches they have
fitted the electric sockets with gayly
colored lamps and on their lawns
lamps have been intertwined in the
shrubbery, making an appearance
consistent with the spirit of Christ
mas and rejecting the happiness that
prevails within.
1t is for the purpose of stimulating
such an appeara nee throughout the
entire community and to provide
visitors A warm and hardy welcome
that the movement is so strongly
urged.
AS an inducement to the citizens of
Alta Vista, Bradley Hills, Somerset.
