headquarters and six Transykan-
ian towns, including Arad and
Timisoara, were still in the hands
of the insurgents.
But it vas. stated that the 700
rebels )arricaded in the Bucharest
police barracks were weakening,
although they were still offering
resistance to loyal Rumanian
troops.
Travellers who reached Belgrade
by air from Bucharest said that
Antonescu had been master of the
situation since 2 o'clock this morn
ing.
They declared Bucharest re-
sembled an armed camp but that
fighting there had subsidized.
Gen, Dimitri Polescu. who sue
ceeded Gen. George PetroviceScu
as Rumalian interior minister
the latter was ousted for failing
to do his duty-issued a proclama-
ton claiming resistance of the
rebels had been broken every
where.
The government was reported in
complete control of the railways.
