Jersey City, N. j., Oct. 30-(UP)-
Magda Lupescu is wanted in Ru-
mania because it was believed there
that the former King Carol had
turned over to her the bulk of his
fortune, estimated at about $6O,OO0,-
600, Spencer Williams, American
correspondent, said today upon his
return from Europe on the Excan-
bur-
According to Williams, the Ru-
manians hope to be able to get
Carols fortune from Nine LupeScu
once he is in custody. They have
no wish to take Carol back to
Rumania, however, he said, because
of their love for King Michael, who
was described as heart-broken when
his father abdicated and fled.
Williams, who while in Rumania
worked for the Columbia broad
casting system, said that he be-
leved that Carol had money in
vested all over the world, and
added:
IF the Iron Guard gets hold of
Magda Lupescu it will go hard for
her. And if they ever get hold of
Ernest Urdariaeanu, the former
chamberlain to the king, they will
make mince-meat of him."
Urdanianeau, he said, was COM
monty believed in Rumania to have
been the power behind the king and
repeatedly responsible for the kill
ing last spring of the iron guards
men.

Moscow representative of the Amefi-

work difficult. Sending his wife and
child to America he became q
foreign correspondent and toured
the Balkans, Great Britain and
Turkey.
Concerning the present conflict
in Greece, .he said that he had
little confidence in the ability OF
the Greeks to hold out against
the Italians.
