MARTIAL LAW
IN ROUMAN|A

BUCHAREST, c.oamania. Dec.
30. OPP - The cabinet voted today
to proclaim martial law through
out the country. King Carol and
other notables we're guarded heavily
in fear that the assassination of
Premier Ion G. Duca was but part
Of a great murder plot.
Strict censorship of newspapers
also was decided upon.
A brother in law of Duca tried
vainly today to kill Nicola Con-
stantinescu, the premiers assass-
in, in his cell at police station.
A guard was placed also over the
home of Nine. Magda Lupescu,
Carols sweetheart-for whom he
once renounced his right to the
throne-in fear that she was on
the death list alleged to have been
drafted by the anti-Jewish Iron
Guard" which was blamed for
Ducas murder.
The king moved with firmness
70 meet a situation that was acute
ly dangerous because of the politi-
cal complications of the last few
months.
He named Constantine Angel
escus. Ducas minister of educa-
ton, as premier to act until a new
government can be formed.
1t was at the Sinai railway sta
ton that Duca, completing seven
weeks in the prime ministry, was
assassinated last night by Con-
stantinescu, 26. student at Buc-
hareSt university.
Bomb Hurled First
Duca was returning to Bucharest
from a conference with Carol at
the Sinai palace. He was standing
on the railway station platform
when there was terrifying ex-
plosion from a bomb thrown by
Constantinescu.
The student walked steadily up
to Duca, placed hand on his
shoulder and fired four shots into
his head and body.
Shouts of anger rose. Police
fought off the would-be lynchers.

"If the banks want to commit
suicide no one is going to worry
very much about it. My concern
