 Church bells tolled throughout the country from 10:30 to HOO a. m. Shops, schools, public offices and theaters were closed all day. The boulevard along which the funeral procession passed from the Greek Orthodox church in the>>center of the city to the suburb of Noi, five miles away, was decorated as if for the funeral of king. Special masses were said in many churches. For eign correspondents were taken to the funeral in a body

The Gorgani church, which con- tains the Iron Guard chapel, in the center of Burcharest where the funerals were held, was entirely covered with green decorations. h. side the church, relays of priests and choirs were conducting services that had been uninterrupted for two days. Tens of thousands had filed past the collins.
 One newspaper reported that Ger many's minister to Runania, Dr. Wilhelm Fabricius, had long talk with Antonescu and left on spe- cial train to see Adolf Hitler.
 Some observers here believed that Antonescus position had become so untenable that if Germany left him in authority it would indicate Hitler was getting ready to take Rumania over completely
 Iron Guards There
 Iron GuardistS poured into Buch- arrest from all the provinces for the funeral of Corneliu Zelea Codreanu, their former leader, and 13 asso- ciates. It was their "day of retribu- tion." Codreanu and the others were executed two years ago today at the Jihlava prison where they were serving terms for murder and treason against the abdicated King Carol regime. Officials said at the time they were shot while trying to escape" Iron Guardists dug up their bones and massacred 64 former Carol followers on the spot, start ing wave of terrorism.

 Ploesti, in the heart of the oil producing area, is the source of events leading to Rumania's chaos. When Germany went to war she had urgent need of Rumanian oil and eXerted pressure to get it. This brought Rumania into international complications. It was followed by the Russian seizure of Bessarabia and North Bukovina provinces, the cession of North Pennsylvania to Hungary and of South Dobrudja to Bulgaria, the uprising of pro-Nazi Iron GuardistS which forced Carols abdication, then to German occu- patton of what was left of Ru- mania

GERMAN BOMBERS
 SMASH AT LONDON
Came Back This Morning After Pounding City Last
 Night Mercilessly
By NED RUSSELL


 London, Nov 30-(UP)-German bombers roared back over London today after a night in which they showered more incendiary bombs than ever had been dropped on the capital in a single attack

 The raiders singled out one area of London for the days first attack and began dropping bombs. It was presumed that British fighters went up to meet the raiders.
 During the night the capital suf- fered the brunt of widely scattered attacks on Britain. The raiders brought over cargocs composed chiefly of incendiary bombs and fires in many sectors lighted up the sky for hours until they were extin- guiShed.
 Many Casualties
 It was feared there were many casualties in the bombed areas as reScuers dug feveriShly ln the wreckage of homes despite falling bombs and shell fragments.
 Some officials theorized that the Germans were testing the capitals defenses in the belief that anti-air- craft guns had been shifted to re- gently raided provincial towns such as Birmingham, Liverpool, Bristol and Southampton. But the guns roared ceaselessly until shortly after midnight. Then the all clear signal sounded and Londoners got respite until today's first raid.
 Heavy bombers roared across the city at the rate of one every 30 sec onds, unleaShing hundreds of incen- ditary bombs.
 Dance in Progress
 One incenditary bomb set fire to a hotel where a dance had been in progress. A hospital was bombed and it was feared there were some casualties in its maternity ward, The principal damage, however, was to private homes under which it was
