Guardists ignored the order.

Guardists ignored the order.
 Radio Bucharest early today broadcast warning to the people of Bucharest to evacuate all streets in the neighborhood of the police headquarters because the army in mopping\ Up may be forced to use arms" It had been reported long before that the army had ejected rebels from the building.
 In the same broadcast radio Bucharest advised all peaceable persons to remain indoors as much as possible for their own safety.
 Ordered To Resist
 If revolutionaries force their way into your homes you must resist until help can be sent" the broad caster added" in apparent tacit sub- stantiation of reports that the rebels were barricading themselves in homes.
 It was indicated that Bucharest was under a strict state of siege and Danube reports said that though traffic had been resumed between the Rumanian and Bulgarian sides of the river there were no passeng- CTS because nobody was permitted to leave Rumania.
 The AntoneScu government had called on all persons throughout the country to surrender their arms at once. The railroads were under military control.
 There were various reports that out in the provinces the peasants, if not the army and air force also were supporting rebellious guardist elements.
 According to reports from various sources, Constance, the principal naval base; Tekuci, one of the big gest air force bases; Craiova, Gus tensi and Iassy, army bases, and PloetSi, oil field center, were in rebel hands.
 Rebels were reported in control also in some of the most important towns of Pennsylvania, over toward Hungary, including Turnu-S -Severin, Temesvar, Arad, Nagy-Szeben and LugoS.
 Broadcast Appeals
 From some of these places the rebels were reported to be broad casting radio appeals for army sup port and promising a fight at what ever cost to uphold the policies of the late Zelea Codreanu. In one appeal to the army, according to reports here, speaker said that except for the Iron Guard the coun- try would fall in to the hands of Free Masons and Jews" This speaker. it was said, added that the rebels had lost heavily in fighting in Pennsylvania.
 Dr. Neitor Cuorman, Transylvania leader for the Iron Guard, was re- ported to have appealed to Vice Premier Horia to put himself at the head of the rebels.
 It was reported that Victor Sil- lagi, one of the most popular lead CTS of the guardists, had been killed in fighting in Pennsylvania.
 Rumanian government broadcasts picked up in Balkan capitals were as confusing as the various att tempted explanations of the causes underlying the revolt.
 Some government broadcasts an- nounced the end of all fighting: some announced agreements to end it: some announced that all rebel activity had been suppressed, others that the government would fight to end it.
 Resistance Broken
 Gen. Dimitrl PopeScu. new minis ter of interior, said in radio mani- festo:

London Announcement

LOnGOn, Jan. 24-(UP)-VlSCOun Halifax, new ambassador to the United States, will land in the United States today, it was official ly announced here.
 Accompanied by his wife and Charles Peake, press adviser, Lord Halifax crossed the Atlantic in the crack new Battleship King George V.
 A brief announcement was issued at noon:
 Lord Halifax, his majesty's am- bassador designate to the United States, and Lady Halifax will land in America today en route to Wash ington."
 Officially, Viscount Halifax will become ambassador only when he presents lis credentials to succeed the late Marquess of Lothian, who died at Washington.
 The new ambassador, who gave up the post of foreign secretary, thus setting a precedent, to take the important ambaSSadorial job, was believed to have left Britain more than week ago. Details were kept secret. It was known. how ever, that Prime Minister Winston Churchill and his wife travelled with Vkcount and Viscountess Halifax to northern British base and saw them of.
 Others On Board
 It was made known that in addi- tion to Lady Halifax and Press Ad- wiser Peake, Maj. Gen. Frederick George Baumont- -Nesbitt, new mili- tary attache at Washington and former director of military intelli- gence at the war office, had made the voyage.
 new ambassadors departure was followed by an admiralty commu- nique which said:
 Lord and Lady Halifax have crossed the Atlantic in the battle ship his majesty'S ship King George V (Capt. w. R. Patterson, c. V. O., R. NJ.
 The prime minister and Mrs. Winston Churchill travelled north with Lord and Lady Halifax and bade them farewell at northern base prior to their departure"
 Officials had kept silent on in- quiries that Lord Halifax was on his way to the United States by warship or airplane.
 King George V, in which he made his voyage, is one of four fast. heav- fly armored 35,0OO ton battleshipS laid down in the first half of 1937 and rushed to completion.
 Today'S announcement was the first news, because of war time se- crecy on naval matters, that any of the new ships was in service.
 One of Crack Ships.
 King George V is one of the five crack 35,000 ton battleships laid down in the first half fo 1897 and rushed to completion.
 Four more battleShips, Lion, Temeraire and two whose names have not been made public, were or- dered in 1889. All are believed to be of 10000 or more tons.
 King George V and her sister ships mount new and improved IA inch gun, with an effective range exceeding that fo earlier Is inch guns. They have a speed of more than 30 knots and are heavily ar mored. The total weight of armor is believed to be 14,0OO tons, and the armor is reported to be 16 inches thick at the water line.

Some complications appear to
face naval reservists who may seek
appointments to the United States
Naval Academy, after the Reserve
orga nizations are called TO active
duty. In order to be eligible, the
reservists must attend drills with a
Reserve organization. The Secre-
tary of the Navy has ruled that en-
listed men. who formerly drilled
with organizations which have been
modified, may either be trans
ferred to another organization for
the purpose of attending further
drills, or may request assignment to
active duty to establish their ell
gibility, on the basis of one month s
active service being the equivalent
of three drills with the Organized
Reserve.
However, the department has left
unanswered the matter how Re-
servist may comply with the re-
quiremcnts if all of the divisions
in his immediate vicinity have been
called to duty. The next unit still
on the inactive list may be miles
away, and obviously a Reservist
could not make long weekly trips
in order to attend drills. However,
ReServistst on active duty may ap-
ply for authority to take the ex-
animation for appointment, but 1t
is stipulated that enlisted men of
the Naval Reserve on active duty
are not eligible for transfer to a
Naval Academy preparatory school.
AS many Reservists, during their
period of establishing their eligi-
bility to take the entrance examina-
tions attend school to prepare for
the rigid tests, some of them have
asked how they are to comply If
assigned to cruising ship.
Furthermore. the department
pointed out that in a regent de-
cision the controller general held
that active service as member of
the Naval Reserve may not be in
cluded in the nine months prior
service aboard vessel of the Navy
in full commission, which is re-
quired of a Navy enlisted man rec
commended as a midshipman from
the enlisted personnel of the Navy.
In other words, it was explained,
Reservists on active duty would not
be permitted to compete for the ap-
pointments allowed the enlisted
personnel of the Regular establish
ment, even though they are working
side by side with the Regulars on
cruising ships.
