ARMY BACKING.
new RUMANIAN
DICTATORSHIP
King Carol Plans Curb on
Right and Left Wing
Political Factions
OUSTING COCA BLOW
TO AIMS OF HITLER

BUCHAREST, Feb. II. (UP)
Rumania's 100000 population
today awoke to find themselves
under royal dictatorship backed
by the army and stern state of
siege.
When the people went to bed
last night, the anti-Jewish cabinet
of Octavian Goga had resigned,
bitterly enraged, proclaiming, as
rael, you're victorious"
Today King Carol named a new
government, non-political in char
acter and embracing not only the
country's strongest men of varied
political affiliations but represent
tatives of both the National Or
thodox and the Roman Catholic
churches.
The new cabinet included seven
former prime ministers under Pat
r'iarch Miron Cristea, president of
the Orthodox church holy synod.
King Carol, addressing the cab
met as the country slept, said he
intended to put a brake on both
the right and left wings in poll
tics. Then he addressed a procla-
nation to the people that the com
stitution would be modified to
meet new needs and that the new
government was destined to end
troubles existing off and on for
the last eight years.
Ending a crisis which lasted I'M
til early morning, the king quick
ly accepted the resignation of
Goga, whose iron rule spread ter
ror among Rumania's 100000
Jews, and turned to the venerable
68-year-old churchman to solve
the. country's political problem.
"For eight years | have endeav-
ored to work with the existing
political organizations" the king
said, "but continuously recurrent
trouble always disturbed the peace
and quiet of the population and
this in time has caused much dam
age to the country. -.
COCA, to whom Fuehrer Adolf
Hitler of Germany was an ideal,
moved into political retirement, at
least for the time being.
The 57-year-old "poet politi-
clan" and leader of the pro-Ger-
man National Christian party ten
dered his resignation to King
Carol II after the high judicial
court held unconstitutional a Sc
ries of bold DEGREES by which Goga
hoped to entrench himself in pow
er in the Forthcoming parliament
tary elections.
The government crisis complete
ly overshadowed the critical state
of affairs existing between Soviet
Russia and Rumania as result OF
the reported disappearance OF So
Wet Charge d'Affaires Theodore
Butenko. =,
A Soviet note, describing the
ENJOYS disappearance as a fascist
plot" and demanding a rlgld IN
vestigation, was delivered to the
foreign office at 4 p. M, only
short time before Goga went TO
the palace to hand his resignation
to King Carol. 1t was Goga's as
sumption of power that led to the
recall of the Russian ambassador
to Bucharest.

THE SENTIMENT IN TEXAS

Apparently the philosophy of Vice President
Jack Garner is shared by considerable number
of Texas Democrats.
Representative Maury Maverick, ardent follower
of President Roosevelt, not renominated IN
the Democratic primary in Texas. Instead, he lost
by few votes to Paul j. Kilday, an attorney, who
told the voters that he would not be rubber stamp
for President Roosevelt.
In explanation, Maverick contends that money
defeated him. Perhaps but perhaps not in the way
he meant. The probabilities are that Texans were
disturbed by the vast amount of money being
spent by Mavericks friends in Washington and
decided that change was in order.
81 1t is ridiculous for any new dealer, for that
matter, to complain about campaign expenditures
on the other side. The Roosevelt candidates have
bag of public money to employ in extending
favors and in influencing votes and they do not
appear to be reluctant to use it in such fashion
