Newspaper Says

PARIS, May 1i.-lP)-L' Echo de
Paris today said that there was ev-
cry reason 20 believe that former
Crown Prince Carol of Rumania had
fallen into the tolls of Moscow.
The Soviet, the paper said. was in
constant touch with Carol and ma
neuvered him during his stay in
France. Close relations were estab-
lished between certain Of Carols
intimatcs and principal p~ersonages in
the Soviet embassy.
These relations. the paper said.
had not ceased and the minister Of
interior was not unaware of them.
The minister Of interior also was
aware Of the presence in Paris nj
the present time of a Rumanian sub
Ject, a notorious Communist whose
connection with Carols immediate
set Is Of the closest. The paper as
serted that If this Communist did
not shelter himself behind powerful
protectors he would already have
been conducted to the frontier.
In view of this. the paper CON
cluded that the return Of Carol 10
France was IN no way desirable.
LONDON. May l4.-(P-Great
Britain expects Carol 10 leave Eng

has recently been reported i'll had

half Of his guest that Carol will
