EASTER PARADE SHOWS
MILITARY INFLUENCE

New York.-The khaki of the
U. S. Army Wed with the high
colors of milady's finery in the
1941 Easter parade.
There was a military note in
the air-a note that carried us
back more than 20 years, when
there was another war and the
women first bobbed their hair. A
time, in fact, when the flat-chest-
ed, boyish figure was lie dernier
cri and skirts barely touched the
knee.
The picture was fairly much
the same yesterday on Fifth ave-
nue.. The soldiers were just as
much in evidence. The skirts were
Just as short and the hair was
bobbed. But the angles had given
way to curves and the uniformed
lads looked like college boys on
holiday leave.
Balmy weather brought out a
riot of colors-vivid green's, reds
and blues. Fur coats were shed
for smart, military tailleurs and
slightly flared coats. The softly
draped, fluid shoulders accented
the new note in fashions. In hat
gear, an abundance of yelling tied
intriguingly under the chin or
streamed in gay insouciance from
the straw bonnets.

who engineered the coup which put
him on the throne.
Perhaps it was to be expected. The
youth inherited a tough spirit from
four generations of kings and savage
mountain fighters who freed Serbia
from the Turks century ago.
Michael. too, lived quiet, luxuri-
Gus royal life as child. He was
pensive and fond of fairy tales,
riding his pony and playing with his
toys.
He assembled the Rumanian throne
in 1927 at the age of 5, when his
father, Carol, left the country with
the red-haired commoner, Magda
Lupescu.
Michael was surrounded for years
by an atmosphere of family quarrels
and clandestine affairs-sharp con-
trast to the home life of Peter
while his father earned the title of
the 'playboy king"
But Carol returned to Rumania
after an absence of three years and
was proclaimed king in a coup well
coined by the then 8-year- -old
Michael, still more interested in
playing than in being a king.
The lad was somewhat more ma
ture than Peter and often has been
reported interested in girls. His
first girl friend" was dark, Grecian

Carol, are brother and sister.
Marie, reported i'll in England
when her son assembled the throne
sent him cablegram saying: MAY
God bless my son and King as well
as our dear country. Thy mother
! Marie"
The boys father, King Alexander
was assassinated at Marseille, France
in 1884.
AS child, Peter lived sheltered
life, remote from the people. Few
knew him except by his picture on
stamps and in newsreels or occa-
sional appearances at state func-
tions.
Peter Stood Steadfast.
Actual control of the throne was
vested in a regency, and his uncle.
Regent Prince Paul, had charge of
his training.
Like Michael, he learned to speak
English early and it is his second
language" Both boys liked Amer
ican automobiles. and movies-and
they admired American efficiency.
Prince Paul must have grounded
his young charge well in the tradi-
tion of Ylgoslav Kings-for when
Paul himself would have capitulated
to German demands to bring the
country into the axis fold, Peter
stood steadfastly with Gen. Simovic

BY DON WHITEHEAD,
Associated Press Stan Writer.

NEW YORK, April 11.-"Baby
PeUruska" and "Madcap Mickey"
the boy kings of the troubled Bal
kans, play grotesque roles these
days on the stake of European power
politics.
They are royal puppets in a real
life drama which emphasizes their
helplessness in the cross-currents
of war sWirling about their coun-
tries.
Born to rule by heritage of birth,
the 17-year-old Peter II of Yugo-
slavia and his 19-year-old cousin,
Michael of Rumania, are little more
than pawns for backstage manipu-
lators.
Only a few years ago the young
grandsons OF Rumania's Queen
Marie were playing with their toys,
fencing and swimming together.
Peter was the shy, retiring one, so
timid that he refused to hunt rab-
bits because he could not bear to
shoot them.
Michael was more independent
and early in life learned to mix
freely with royalty and commoners
alike. He seemed of the two more
likely to become the strong man."
Strange Path for Boys.
But the paths they tread are
strange for teen-age boys.
Peter is monarch of country
at odds with the axis powers while
Michael is titular head of a dicta-
torship dominated by Germany and
overrun by NaZi troops. Both came
to power as a result of coups staged
by their army generals under pres
sure Of German incursions into the
Balkans.
Brown-eyedPeter became sovereign
in his own right in the bold move
which pulled Yugoslavia away from
an axis alignment and set the
Balkans teetering again on a crisis.
He was to have taken the royal oath
on his 18th birthday next September.
Puppet though he may be, there
was nothing timid about his decision
to accept the royal oath in the midst
of such a crisis, even though his
destiny is being shaped by the
generals.
The boy, King must have realized
that his throne and, perhaps. even
his life were endangered by the
action.

YugoSlavia. and Michael's father,

priated by the government.
Title without Power.
Michael became King again last
year when Carol abdicated in the
face of demands by Rumania's new
military dictatorship headed by
strong man Ion Antonescu, the man
behind the throne.
Carol fled into exile with his
fading beauty. Magda, and is now
in Portugal. O.
After Carols exile, Michael's
mother, the former Princess Helene,
was proclaimed Queen Mother.
She always has been close to her
son, tramping the woods and skiing
with him. Even now they are in
separable.
But Michael has a title without
power. He already has signed away
most of the royal prerogatives.
A few months after he succeeded
his father on the throne a second
time, a German motorized division
paraded through the streets of
Bucharest. The tall, blond Michael
brought up the rear.
