BILL OF RIGHTS
FOR QUEENS, IS
HELENE'S PLEA
Demands Complete Separa-
ton From Carol and Gus
tody of Prince Michael.
BY RALPH HEINZEN,
United Press stan Correspondent

PARIS, Jan. 30.-Affairs Of King
Carol AID Princess Helene of Ru-
mania, we're the subject Of renewed
rumors today in the chancellories,
where it was said the princess had
insisted that the Rumanian parl-
ament consider what was described
as a bill Of rights" for queens.
Reports from Bucharest related
that the princess, on advice of her
lawyers, had presented an ultima
tum TO the king in which she in
sisted upon complete separation and
the custody of her son. Crown
Prince Michael
Offended by Rivals Presence
1t was recalled that the king,
after falling in efforts toward re-
Cancellation with Princess Helene,
who even refused to accept inc
title of queen, placed Michael in
military school over her protests.
Princess Helene was said to be
convinced that Carols sworn re-
form upon his return from exile in
a Normandy chateau, which ne
shared with auburn haired Nine.
Magda Lupescu, has its loopholes.
She has professed to be offended
by the reported presence in a royal
apartment at Bucharest of ner
rival. Nine. Lupescu.
Arguing that her dignity as a
mother and as woman and
princess of Greece, required her
officially to resent such treatment,
Princess Helene was said to have
sent the king a statement which
may become a bill Of rights"
Wants Bill of Rights
Helene set down four conditions,
the reports said, insisting that, to
make them legal, the Rumanian
parliament enact them into bill
of rights, separating her affairs and
her purse from those of the king.
Princess Helene's demands were
reported as follows:
/. That my title and position be
legally defined That l shall have
complete independence and liberty
of movement; shall receive or see
whom please, and have the right
TO choose the ladies and gentlemen
of my court. l shall be free to oc-
cupy myself in charitable works
and continue my hospital work.
All this with no intention of mix
ing in any way in politics. shall
be free to travel abroad and return
when I wish.
Wants to Live iii Bucharest
2. That Prince Michael shall live
with me, his upbringing and the
choosing of his companions and
tutor shall be left to me, also every
thing concerning his health. That
during his holidays I shall be able
to take him abroad. That his father
(King CaroD shall have the choice
of his professors and the arranging
of the program of his lessons. That
the king shall decide when the
prince is to appear at official func-
tons, and may see him frequently.
3. My residence in Rumania shall
be at Bucharest, in the house I now
occupy.
A. That the civil list I receive shall
be paid by the government and not
by the king. That my sons civil
list shall contribute to the upkeep
of our common establishment, as
has been the case so far.

elbows with those who remembered
the youths while the conspiracy was
actually underway.
He has been able to reproduce The
conversation, the aspiration, the
training, the fear and the system of
this conspiracy which was Matched
by boys around the ages of 16.
ct was here (Sarajevo) that on
June %, 1914, the shot was fired
that started Europe's dance Of
death. On the morning Of that day
theh first shot of the great war
killed the Archduke Ferdinand" as
Graham writes in his novel
1t was Garvo Princip, youth in
his teens, who actually fired the shot
that killed the arch-duke and his
wife.
A Change Of Thought
AS Graham writes: "a stigma
has attached to the name of Garvo
Princip as if he we're the original
murderer or prime cause Of the
death Of millions who gave their
lives in the war. On the other hand
he has become a legendary hero in
Bosnia. His remains and those of
the other boys who persisted with
him are held in high honor. Ser
bia itself, official Serbia, scarcely
dares honor him, though there is
no one there who considers him a
criminal
1t is with this intimate under
standing of the causes which gave
birth to this youthful conspiracy and
his human understanding of the his
tory of the races concerned that
that Graham is able to take history
and turn it into moving and
powerful story.
He goes back five centuries and
paints in narrative form the history
of the races concerned and shows
how it was possible for mere boys to
plan and carry out conspiracy of
death which threw the world into
battle.
He allows Princip and his boy
friends as well as the autocratic
officials to talk. Lot of talk, yes,
but he has constructed powerful
dramatic scene, actually leading up
to the deed itself
SO wildly has Graham painted
the scene of the assassination that
the reader feels he is right /at the
elbow of Princip when the deed is
done. Here is big and powerful
writing.
Writer Is Definite
Graham after careful and even
minute consideration of all acts
leading up to the fatal shot, tells of
the suffering of Princip in prison.
After his death in a military
prison, Graham writes of Princip-
1.-THE body was borne with honor
to Sarajevo, together with the bodies
of the others who had died and they
were all buried together in one great
grave-the heroes Of Vidovdan'-
and they lie there together in

the graveyard of Sarajevo. The
Bosnia they died for is free. And
who shall think i'll of them now?"

reading, those who want more than
the roar of the gangster's guns in
gangland, those who want to get
more intimate with the causes lead

CHURCHILL And
BALDWIN SPLIT
STIRS ENGLAND
Two Most Powerful Men in
Conservative Party Break
Over India.
BY HARRY L. PERCY
United Press stan Correspondent

LONDON, Jan. 30-One definite
result of the Indian round table
conference was a split between stan
ley Baldwin and Winston Churchill,
the two most powerful men in the
Conservative party, political circles
agreed today.
Churchill withdrew from the
conservative business committee,
due to disagreement on the Indian
question.
The conference was described as
"a successful failure" in its efforts
to solve Anglo-Indian problems, but
it accomplished the unexpected
when Baldwin and Churchill dis
agreed regarding its findings.
The trouble started when Church
i'll, in the house of commons, made
Enthusiastically bitter attack on
the labor administration, and con-
demned the Indian negotiations as
a failure. a
Repudiated by Baldwin
Baldwin, leader of the con-
servatives, repudiated his colleague.
Churchill's remarks entirely were
personal, for, previously, Sir Samuel
Hoare had given the conservatives
guarded approval of the govern
ment's plans for India, and Baldwin
said that if he assumed power to-
morrow, he would implement them.
Churchill announced his resigna-
ton from the conservative business
committee, or shadow cabinet" in
a letter to Baldwin. He said that
he had resigned because our
divergent views on the Indian policy
has now become public"
Churchill assured Baldwin of his
warmest personal regards, and his
continued support in the house of
commons.
Baldwin replied agreeing to
Churchill's resignation, and assuring
him of hearty cooperation in other
affairs.
Deserted Party Before
Politicians were uncertain JUST
how great an effect Churchills move
would have on the internal organi-
zation of the conservative party.
Churchill, one of the most color
full and popular political figures OF
his generation, has changed his po-
litical affiliations before.
u
the Liberals early in his career, but
came back to the Conservative
ranks after David Lloyd George re-
fused to name him chancellor of the
exchequer.
Churchill has held more impor-
tant posts than any other living
British statesman. The position OF
prime minister, always his goal, is
the only one to elude him.
