KING CAROL IN
 FIGHT FOR LIFE
(Continued from Page D

an. had insufficient prestige to end a situation which approached crisis j-.plomatic advices from Bucharest were that Carol must act swiftly if he wanted to crush the iron guard movement against him and in favor of his brother, There were indica- lions that Nicholas would not long remain idle and that he would be- girs soon a fight at least to regain his royal status, taken from him be- ca1se he would not renounce his rlon-royal wife and four-year-old son but, on the contrary, demanded that royal status be accorded them
 Nicholas Bothered Him
 It was believed that Carol had been troubled for @ long time about Nicholas but had abstained from acting. His decision to deprive Nich- olas of royal rank was believed to have been forced by news that the Iron Guard, irreconcjlably opposed to Carols continued association with Mme. Lupescu, was plotting to over throw him. Had the plot succeeded. 1t was intimated, Nicholas would have been invited either to ascend the throne or act as chief regent for Grown Prince Michael, Carols son, who reigned for three years while Carol himself was exiled be- cause of his love for Mime. Lupescu.
 Reports were that though Carol acted to crush the suspected iron gyardist plot, his success was still problematical because the attitude of the army was not clear. The ar- rest of the court surgeon, Profess Sor Dimitry Gerota, was taken to mean that the conspirators had con- nectionS even in Carols immediate ei1tourage.
 Enemies of Carol
 Carols enemies are specifically enemies of Mime. Lupescu. They hate her because she has Jewish blood and they allege that she ex- ercises great, if indirect, influence in state affairs.
 The iron guardistS had been more or less quiet for year when, two months ago the government began drive against right-wing extrem- ists. Since then the followers of General George Cantacuzeno and Zeiea Codreanu, iron guard leaders, have been working underground.
 The most powerful party that might be brought to the kings sup port to crush the iron guard is the Peasant Party. Julius Maniu, its leader, is former premier. Carol has hesitated to appeal to him be- cause of Maniu's enmity for Mime Lupescu. With increasing chance that he might regain power, Maniu has shown greater moderation re- garding MIne. Lupescu. But both Carol and Mime. Lupescu. to whom he has remained loyal against all Exposition for years, and for whose love he set an example for the Duke of Windsor by renouncing his right to succession, are known as good haters. Hence Carol was not expect ed to call in Maniu unless develop ments of extreme urgency impelled him to.

echoed the Senate cry of "uncon-

headed by Representative Coffee

they expect to battle to eliminate

ONeal was plainly irked at Wal

Something has got to be

cannot give these people jobs,
