Former Minister Opposes
Visit by Carol to u. S.

report from New York yesterday
said former King Carol might visit
the United States shortly as leader
of the Free Rumania Committee for
the Triumph of Democracy.
Opposition to such visit Was ex-
pressed here yesterday by Charles
A. Davila, former Rumanian Min
lister, who said he spoke "in the
name of the Rumanian democrats" )"
His statement said:
"Rumania is through with Carol
Hohenzollern. He ought to know
1t by now, but he is quite an unusual
man as his past performances show.
of course, all his statements
about his son, his own second alb
dication and his departure from Ru-
mania are falsehoods. He has un-
fortunately always had the greatest
difficulty in simply telling the truth
and his supporters became always
victims of the same inhibition.
People having the dictator complex
are generally like that.
1T is typical that he was asked
10 assume the leadership of a free
Rumanlan movement by an anopy-
nous American citizen.
The Rumanian people are over
Vhelmlngly on the Allied side. In
spite of the present regimes sub
servience to Hitler. I do not think
that even the news of Carols kind
intentions, aired in the American
press, could discourage them from
helping the Allied cause, when they
will be directed how to do it.
"Of course, there will not be any
kind of Rumanian organizati
headed by Carol Hohenzollern either
on American or on Canadian soil, or
anywhere else There does not seem
to be any reason to believe that he
will ever come to the United States
or Canada, not because that would
enable him to Organize anything.
but because in a most serious busi-
ness like this war and in the decent
world that will result from Allied
victory. there cannot be any more
place for headliners of this type"

Senate Votes Power
To President 10 Put
Clocks Up Two Hours
House Gets Measure
For 1-Hour Advance,
Passes Navy Bill
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Legislation to set clocks ahead
throughout the Nation won Senate
approval yesterday and was reported
in different form by the House In
terstate Commerce Committee.
The bill which passed the Senate
would authorize the President to
advance the time in any part of the
United States by not more than two
hours.
Discarding a similar proposal. the
House committee approved a meas
ure which would provide an auto
matte advance Of one hour In each
time zone 20 days after the enact
ment Of the bill, with no presidential
discretion in the matter.
100000 Kilowatts Saving.
Purpose of the legislation would
be to make fuller use of daylight
hours. William s. Knudsen, CO.
director of the Office of Production
Management, has estimated that the
action would save 100000 kilowatts
Of electricity annually.
In another move to push war
preparations, the House yesterday
approved bill authorizing an $845,-
900 900 expenditure to expand naval
shore facilities. During the debate,
Chairman Vinson Of the Naval
Affairs Committee, urged suspension
Nays ship-building program.
In a detailed outline Of that pro-
gram. he said that since January 1
Of last year contracts had been let
for 379 combatant ships, 10 auxiliary
ships and 4,721 other boats, amount
ing to 8,473,021 .269
Pleased by Progress.
He declared that progress thus far
was healthy sign of being on the
Job as far as the Navy is concerned"
But" he cautioned the House,
"the program cannot be completed
in the time necessary If We adhere
to the eight-hour law" He added
that the President had authority
under the Walsh-Healy Act to sus-
pend the eight-hour day for work
on Navy contracts, and expressed
hope that the Chief Executive would
exercise that right.
The House also passed and sent
to President Roosevelt bill author
izing an increase in naval enlisted
personnel from 100000 to 100000.
and in Marine Corps strength from
$4,000 to 100000.
Meanwhile, stringent legislation to
prevent lobbying and restrict fees In
connection with Maritime Commis-
sion contracts was introduced yes
terday by Chairman Bland of the
House Merchant Marine Committee
which recently investigated the sub
ject.
The bill would outlaw any fees
when their amount was contingent
upon the procuring Of a contract or
upon the amount OF the contract.
1t also would outlaw fees paid "for
the purpose Of affecting the award
through means other than GUS
tomary technical or professional
services"
All contractors would be required
to report any fees paid directly or
indirectly in connection with con-
tract negotiations.

Carol Announces Self
As Leader Of Move
For Free Rumania'
Former King Says Son and
People Are Prisoners
Of 'Germun Bundits'
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, Jan. 8.-Exiled
King Carol of Rumania was back in
action today as the self-proclaimed
leader of those of his countrymen
who refused to accept their nations
partnership with Germany.
In statement issued late yes
terday, Carol announced he had
placed himself at the head of a
Free Rumania" ranged at the side
of the anti-AXis nations.
Carol asserted the Rumanian
people and his son, Mihai, who was
proclaimed King of Rumania when
his father went into exile in Sep
tember, 1910, and who Carol said
had returned to Rumania from
Italy, were prisoners of the Ger
man bandits" Rumanian Chief OF
State Marshal Ion Antonescu he
charactered as a lackey of Adolf
Hitler and traitor.
Carols statement made it clear
that he did not consider himself to
have abdicated. He said he had
only delegated the royal authority
to his son to avoid unnecessary
bloodshed
The King, who left Rumania in
. bullet-scarred train and made his
way by difficult stages to Spain,
Portugal, Bermuda and Cuba to
Mexico, is living in small villa in
q Mexico City suburb.
Nine Elena Lupescu. who accom-
panied him on the journey, is with
him.
1t was the second time that Carol
had proclaimed himself successor to
his son. AS Crown Prince, he re-
nounced his rights to the throne in
1925 to continue living in private
life with Nine. Lupescu, but flew to
Bucharest in 1880 and proclaimed
himself King, Mihai becoming
Crown Prince.

OARS Bid Accepted
By Marian Anderson
With Reservations
Singer Insists on No
Seating Segregation and
Use of Hall in Future

Marian Anderson, colored con-
tralto, has accepted the invitation
of the Daughters of the American
Revolution to sing in Constitution
Hall here for war relief agency
under the condition that no segre-
cation be exercised in seating ar
rangements.
Miss Anderson's acceptance was
contained in letter sent by her
manager to the director of Con-
stitution Hall and also stipulated
that the hall be open to her in
the future for her concert tours.
The letter also suggested that the
Army Emergency Relief Fund be
named as beneficiary of the concert.
The letter. made public last night
In New York, is the singers reply
to the OARS invitation last month
to appear in the first of a series of
war concerts in the hall, from which
she was barred in 1899. The invi-
tation. which specified that all pro-
ceeds are to 60 for war relief, re-
versed the organizations long ban
against colored performers.
Officials of the OAR in WASH
ington refused any comment upon
Miss Anderson's terms of accept
ance, but it was understood that
the question would be brought up
at the Board of Regents meeting
October 30, and that there could
be no decision until that time.
After the OARS refusal in 1889
to allow Miss Anderson the use of
the hail. which resulted in Nation
wide controversy highlighted by the
resignation of Mrs. Roosevelt from
the organization, Mrs. Henry M.
Robert, jr., then president general,
gave as one reason for the society's
action the fact that the hall already
was engaged. She explained also
the national board of management.

cause Of unpleasant experiences in

dltions and customs existing in the

manager named 80 different dates
on which the singer would be avail
able for an engagement here.
