REPORT CAROL IS
 PLANNING ON COUP
Say Prince Is Awaiting Strategic
 Occasion for Entry

Vienna. Austria, Feb. LP - Trouble is again brewing over the succession question in Rumania. Private reliable advices from Bucharest say that the national peasants party and the rank and file especially in the provinces. are determined that while King Ferdi- nand is still alive, Prince Carols prerogatives as crown prince shall be restored to him. even though he formally renounced them more than a year ago.
 This attitude is persisting, 1t is declared notwithstanding the fact that Premier Averescu, addressing the chamber Of deputies. again warned that the matter had been settled once for all by the estab- lishment of regency and that most severe penalties would be in ilicted on those attempting an al teration of this arrangement.
 Vienna, as usual, is filled with all sorts of rumors: one of them being that Carol is already on the Ruman- ian border awaiting the moment for a coup d'etat. This cannot be veri- fled from any source, as is the case with another report that he is on the way to Belgrade to enlist the sympathy of his sister Marie, the wife of King Alexander of Jugo- Slayia.
 Some Of Carols advisers, it is un- derstood. still cling to the hope that despite Premier Averescus declara- tion, the recall of Prince Carol can be arranged peaceably. They are said to have counselled him not to take any step that might forever close the door to his chances of as- cending the Rumanian throne.

JUNIOR PROM AT
 YALE SUCCESSFUL
Slender Racing Shell Part of
 Hall Decorations

New Haven, Conn, Feb. 8 R-A slender racing shell, its eight blue tt. ped oars wired into their locks, stood guard in Woolsey Hall here last night, while more than 400 Yale me and their companions took part in the university's gayest social event of the college year-the promenade of the junior class.
 A symbol of lale's prowess over Harvard on the Thames last year, tn, shell was the most admired of the halls beautiful decorations. There was no "crashing of the gate" at this years prom, for each guest was "tattooed." Attendants armed with rubber stamps, which left vivid purple mark, were stationed at the entrance and each prom girl and her male companion were stamp ed" as they arrived. Those leaving the hall during the evening could re-enter only by displaying this badge of purple. Many left the hall however, and the prom girl was not denied the thrill of visiting near by white-tiled restaurant and eating toasted buns and coffee before the prom supper was served.
 Charles T. Bingham, son of Unit ed States Senator Hiram Bingham, was the honored Yale man of the evening. As chairman of the prom committee he was presented the wooden spoon in the unique cere- mony which. is always a part of the prom festivities and led the grand march with Miss Mary Hand, of New York, as his partner.
 This years prom girl, and she represented nearly every state in the Union. appeared bit more dig nifled than those of recent years. There were many short and fluffy trocks and closely cropped heads. but the majority of fthe girls were letting them grow" and had adopt ed the period gown to harmonise with the more severe mode of hair dressing. The change, however, did not take away any of the charm of youth from the 1927 girl.
