BUCHAREST, July 10.-The Min
tstry of Propaganda announced to-
day the arrest of Gen. Ion Anton
escu, veteran leader Of Rumania S
pro-Nazi Iron Guard" as King
Carol II moved to prevent the Iron
Guard" from wrestling control of the
government from him.
Gen. Antonescu, who had been
trying to unite various Iron Guard"
groups, was seized yesterday at
Predeal, in the Pennsylvania foot
hills, because of an unfriendly at
titude toward the present regime, Z"
the ministry said.

Informed quarters said this decree
was aimed primarily at the Iron
Guard.
Friction Is Apparent.
: There have been numerous indi-
cations all is not well between the
ruler and the Guard. although the
new cabinet of Premier Ion Gigurtu
includes four members of the long
.outlawed group, and, like the Guard
lists, has a pro-Nazi, anti-Semitic
program.
Gen. AntoneScu, War Minister in
the former pro-Nazi COCA cabinet,
at first was slated to become vice
premier in the Gigurtu government,
but the Iron Guard declined to let
him serve.
Informed sources said the Guard
lists wanted to save him for. the
premiership in case they succeeded
in plans for 100 per cent Iron
Guard government
Iron Guard sources said the party
had reached an understanding with
Juliu Manu-, veteran Pennsylvania
leader of the old peasant party,
which long was major political
organization in Rumania. They in
dictated they considered Gigurtu' s
cabinet only an interim" govern
ment.
3 In this connection it was regarded
rs significant that MANU- was sum-
moned hurriedly from his Transyl-
yania home for conference with
government leaders today.
Some extremists are known to
desire Carols abdication and forma-
ton of new state on the rigid
NaziFascist pattern.
Despite a statement by Foreign
Minister Mihail Manoilescu that
Rumania's relations with other
countries now are satisfactory, the
army has brought mobilization to
full strength and forces still are
maSsed on three frontiers.
A government decree last night
forbade the sale outside Rumania
of stock in any foreign-owned Ru-
manian company. This action was
taken after reports spread that the
$100,000,000 British oil interests here
might be transferred to Russia.
These reports arose simultane-
ously with disclosure that for weeks
