 BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
 One of the very incest of the spring nursery books is the sad- happy tale of Baba, 8 little lamb whose soft fleece began falling of in ragged spots. My coat is all rag ged," wept Baba to the shepherd. What shall I do? I went to the merchant; he sent me to the tailor. I went to the tailor; he sent me to the weaver. I went, to the weaver: he sent me to you. And you have no coat for me. Where shall go now?"< The shepherd sent him to the big Black Sheep. The Black Sheep laughed and laughed. and then he told Baba the answer.
 Dahris Martin writes Little Lamb" with all the repiition little children love, and Lilly Simppis pastel illustrations are charming (Harpers: $1.5O).
 More and more, photographs be- come the way to tell the nursery tale. "Delicia and Adolphus," by Gertrude Newman (Rand McNally) about two rag dolls and their life in the playroom. Another volume of this kind is Lena Towsleys "At the Beach" (Farrar and Rinehart: $2), wherein Sue, Joan and Billy spend an afternoon playing at the SeaShore.
 A more rollicking tempo marks the story books for the 5-to-8-year- old. On the new list are a lion that escapes from 8 circus, engines and automobiles that run away, a pup pet that saves president, a mirror that reflects everything wrong.
 The lion in James Daughertys Andy and the Lion" (Viking $1.50), is the grateful "thorn-from- paw variety, and just which part of the story is fact and which part lies in Andys imagination is left rc the reader. Eventually, Andy saves the crowd from the lion, and the lion from the crowd, and is decora. ted by the mayor. The pictures arc hilarious. 4@.

Nv Democratic Leader Barley, of

the Senate's action as assurance the

Carol VIII

Iron Ruler

Bucharest, Roumania, Feb. Il (AP)
king Carol today offered Roumania
new constitution of 100 articles
which would give him greatly increas-
ed powers.
Under the proposals the king would
appoint half the Senate and exercise
veto power over all legislation. Other
leading provisions would declare all
Roumanians equal without racial dis
tinction and grant religious freedom,
with the orthodox Roumanian church
recognized as the state religion.
Several of the constitutions propo-
sails were aimed at clipping the wings
of Cornelius Zela Cordeanu, whose
Fascistic iron guard had grown in
tense authoritarian.
Fast action on national approval
was demanded. The country is to
vote on the new constitution Thurs
day after considering it only three
days. Adoption of the new constitu-
ton was regarded as a foregone con-
clusion. Members of the elections
commission were instructed to hold
nationwide mass meetings to explain
it's proposals, after which the voting
will be by reclamation.

His momentous Reichstag speech
yesterday demanding return of col

Europe's burning question, What

foreign capitals with undiminished
menace.
Anxiety grew in Prague, where Hit
ler's indirect reference to German
minorities in Czechoslovakia. was re-
sented as challenging the sovereignty
of that state, the home of some 3,000,-
600 pro-Nazi Germans.
In his three hour address, Hitler
touched pointedly on most phases of
the Reich's foreign power. He inform
ed Great Britain that she could have
peace with the Reich by turning over
colonies she gained from Germany by
World War victory.
In Vienna, Austria, the shout Hell
