received q promise Of fidelity from
Gen. Antonescu. AS this ceremony
was concluded, the Premier shook
hands with the young King, saying
grimly:
"Sire, a prayer to God to help your
majesty and me-"
Announcement Of the abdication
came after Gen. AntoneScu had
spent many hours closeted with
Carol attempting to persuade him
to turn back his throne to his son.
Reports Of deaths and injuries
through rioting and the sound OF
shooting came to the palace as the
new dictator argued that for the
good of the country Carol had to
step down completely.
Prince Mihai took the oath with
firm voice in front Of a micro
phone at 7:30 am. The abdication
had been at 6 am.
Present at the oath-taking were
Gen. Antonescu, the patriarch OF the
orthodox church and the president
Of the supreme court.
The radio broadcast Of this cere-
mony coincided with great street
demonstrations indicating the pub
lies pleasure over the change.
Order to Army.
Gen. Antonescu issued the fol-
lowing order of the day to the
army:
"Oficers, commissioned OFF,
GERS and soldiers:
His Majesty King Carol II alb
Voevov Mihai of Alba Julia has as
cended the throne OF Rumania.
I'm these times of upheaval unite
our hearts in hope with the whole
nation behind Rumania. The army
swears allegiance to the new king.
All Rumanians hail Mihai I.

guard our brave ruler and help
him make his reign true and deeds
of victory triumph. May the love
and devotion Of his people be with
him.
Soldiers, the armies OF Rumania
always will be first in swearing al
legiance to the King. therefore to-
day wherever they may be the SOL
diers of Rumania will take the oath
until 6 pm. this evening"
Rumanian newspaper censorship
was lifted completely as an indica-
ton of public celebration. Peasants,
soldiers and upper class persons
mixed freely in the tremendous
crowds which flowed through the
streets and into the palace grounds.
Friendly to Axis.
The new dictator issued a state
ment just before this mornings con-
ference saying the relation between
the state and the king had been
restored to the status in which the
monarch would take a non-partisan
and neutral role in the government.
The statement asserted Gen.
Antonescu's friendship and cooper
alton with the Rome-Berlin axis,
which had directed the deal which
led Immediately to the present
crisis-cession by Rumania of North
ern Pennsylvania to Hungary.
After the mornings meeting be-
tween the king and the dictator,
official circles reported a decree
would be issued during the day re-
moving from Office Ion Morozea,
chief of the Palace Secret Police
and long known as Rumania's man

Carol left Rumania shrunken to
pre-World War size by cessions of
territory first to Soviet Russia and
last week to Hungary, which by the
stern arbitration of the Rome-Berlin
axis regained about half of Tran
gylvania.
He left Rumania in the firm hands
OF Premier Gen. Antonescu, who has
aligned his new nationalistic regime
with the destinies of warning Ger
many and Italy.

that Carol slipped away from Bu-
charest Immediately after the dra-

persons were aware that he had
gone until hours later.
Crown Council Suppressed.

Of former premiers and close conf

decisions on surrender of Bessarabia
and Northern Bucovina to Russia
last June and Northern Transyl-
vania to Hungary last week. At the
same time the Mayor of Bucharest,
Gen. Dombroski, was dismissed.

Antonescu had ordered the arrest of
other important figures in the Carol
regime, including the millionaire
munitions manufacturer Milaxa and
Gen. Constantine Argetoianu, who
was premier after the assassination
of Premier Armand Calinescu last

It was Argetoianu who ordered
execution of hundreds of the then
outlawed Iron Guard in retaliation
for the shooting of Calinescu.

vorced wife of Carol and mother of
the new King. was reported in
government circles planning to come

tween Carol and Mihai over the

Guard and his desire that his
mother be permitted to return.
Cabinet Still Uniformed.
At noon Gen. Antonescu was still

for his first real sleep in many days
after ordering cancellation of all
Rumanian passports.
