BUCHAREST STILL
 LISTENS AT TRIAL
Court Martial Of M. ManoileSCu
 Continues Today

Bucharest, Rumania, Nov, Il CPl-- Efforts to question the competency of the military court which is try ing M. Manoilescu, former under secretary for finance, on charge Of conspiracy to restore Prince Carol 10 the Rumanian throne, were unavail- ing at today's resumption of the trial.
 The spokesman for the 1l0 law yers who are defending Monoilescu. made the plea that the case should be tried by a peoples jury and not by court martial, contending that the alleged offcnse was political in nature and that the defendant was only charged with expressing opin- ions and contentious.
 Conflict of opinion cannot be tried by the military arm Of the government" the defense declared. but the court rejected the argument four to one.
 Two other attacks on the courts competency on technical grounds also were rejected by similar votes, The last Of these points was that martial law did not exist in the dis trct in which Manoilcscu was ar rested and charged with conspiracy. To this the public prosecutor re- piled that ManoilcsCu's activities before his going to Paris where he saw Carol. His return and ac- tivitios were merely continuation Of tho crime for which he was arrest ed" the prosecutor declared.

ITALIANS LOSING
 FRANCHISE RIGHTS
MuSSolini Makes Nation a One
 Party Government

Rome, Nov. II R-The parlia- mentary reform measures, announc- ed by Premier Mussolini yesterday in effect do away with democratic universal suffrage in Italy and make Italy a one-party nation in which only the fastists will be directly represented
 The reform measures together with the labor reform proposals are felt here to constitute one Of the most important changes introduced by fasctsm into Italian political and economic life and to be one Of the most audacious parliamentary re- reforms ever undertaken in the his- tory Of modern parliamentarism.
 It is generally felt here that par liament as reduced in power before the advent Of fascism no longer worked for the ideals for which it had been established originally When Premier Mussolini reached power he was hailed, especially by the country districts. because his program called for reform of par liament. Now, after five years Of study, work and experiments. the premier is undertaking a thorough change Of the parliamentary insti- tutions Of Italy.
 The premier plans 10 reduce the number Of members in the lower house Of parliament by more than one-fourth, proclairing simultane- ously that only one party exists in Italy, namely fascism. and that therefore the only electoral ticket to be presented Is that Of his own party.
 The mechanism through which the new members of parliament will be elected is as follows: The thirteen fascista "guilds' into which the en- tire population of the kingdom is divided. representing both employ CTS and employees, will submit lists Of candidates the number Of which has not yet been fixed, to the grand council Of the party.
 The latter will examine the lists
  having chiefly in view choosing those whose fascist allegiance is ab- solutely sure and also having the necessary requisites 10 represent not only the interests of the Categories from which they come but also the general supreme interests of the na- tlon and the fascist regime.
 The grand council has therefore the right to eliminate whatever can didates 1t considers unfit, substitut- ing others. AS a result. a fascist ticket will be evolved which will be submitted to the nation which will form only one constituency and will vote thereon on bloc.
 Democratic universal suffrage will no longer exist. as the right 10 vote will be given only to those citizens who. from their contributions 10 work in the fascist organizations. will have shown themselves to be active clements in the life of the na- ton. The grand council also re- serves the right 10 esta hlish what will be the specific task Of the new
