KING CAROL WILL CHANGE HIS LIFE
Promises to Renounce Sweetheart-RumOr of
 Princess Returns

Vienna, Jan 31 - (UP)-King Carol of Rumania has made i've star final decision to renounce red- haired Mime Mazda Lupescu, for whom he once gave up his right to the throne. 1t was reported to- day on apparently unquestionable authority
 Carol was said to have given his word to several men high in Ru- manian politics that he would seek a reconciliation with his divorced wife, Princess Helen, apd ask her to remarry him.
 There were hints that Carols af- lection for the beautiful Mme Lu- pescu remained undiminished. His decision was said to have been dic- tated by reasons of state alone. It was asserted that his advisers told him his throne was endangered be- cause of popular resentment.
 The Rumanian iron guard, of Nazi- Fascist character, has been bitterly inimical to Mime Lupescu, partly because of her Jewish blood.
 Princess Helen is reported to be coy. It is said that, as she realizes Carol is ready for her to return, she is making the best of her po- sition to put him In the position of petitioner for her favor. It was noted that though she was invited to the wedding of the Duke of Kent and Princess Marina at Lon- don, Carol was not.
