Conditions to Be Met.
Antonescu: Eyes. I am going
through with 1t, but there are some
conditions to be met. I want q
guarantee from the Allies that they
will land in Romania and guaran-
tee it for us against the Russians" I"
Michael: THAT is so absurd it
is not worth discussing. How do
you expect the Allies to guarantee
us against their own allies?"
Antonescu: II will not move. #
necessary, will retire to Transyl-
vania and fight there"
Michael: you will have to make
an armistice or resign. This time
you have gone too far"
At this point Antonescu's rising
temper overcame him. White with
rage, he was unable to speak.
Sanatescu tried to calm him.
Michael stalked out Of the room.
Joining Styrcea. Buzesti and Ton
nitiu, he discussed the situation
with them for q few minutes and
all agreed that there was only one
course to follow. Styrcea called up
the soldiers and posted them at the
door Of the study while Michael
went back in.
The King took UP position be-
side q wide double window. Styrcea
and Ionnitiu, both excellent shots,
took pistols from their pockets and
stepped In at the main doorway.
I am very sorry but / have ex-
planned the situation to you and
you must make choice" Michael
said to Antohescu.

II have no choice but to accept
the word Of IN ofncer," Styrcea
said.
Provided with . pass, Gerstenberg
proceeded to the Baneasa Airport on
the edge Of the city and there Or
dered for the following day one Of
the most savage and ruthless Ger
man air attacks Of all time.
The Kings palace in Bucharest
was . particular target.
Michael, his personal role In the
events completed, rounded up a
shooting party" At 3:15 an. flve
automobiles led by q light coupe
driven by the King rolled up the
ramp from the palaces underground
garage and sped out into the city.
At about the same time Queen
Helen, notified Of events by tele-
phone, started westward In an
eight-car party from the royal fam
ily's summer home at Sinaia, north
west of Ploesti. AL during the long
trip through German-held country
she clutched q small pistol. deter
mined to shoot the first enemy
soldier attempting to halt them.

The King sned westward fnr two
hours and then turned the car OIL

The wisdom Of the trip was shown
soon after daylight when the first
Of Gerstenberg's planes began
bombing Bucharest. At OILS am.
Stuka dive bombers attacked the
palace. followed by others during the
morning. They struck sporadically
throughout the afternoon and night.
The next day they made seven at
tacks on the palace.
On the front the carefully planned
withdrawal began on the oath.
Eighteen Romanian divisions hold

Carpathians started southwark,
moving 40 to so miles daily down
the Seret River Valley. In the east

breach.
( Divisions Fought On.
-Four Romanian divisions mixed
with an equal number Of German
troops on the Baeul River west of
Chisinau failed to receive their
orders and fought on. Only on this
sector did the plan fail.
Moving southwark, eight Ro-
manian divisions on the west flank
soon clashed with eight German
reserve divisions encamped In the
Galati Gap. Bitter battles devel-
oped at Buzau. Ploesti, Campina and
several other points before the Ro-
manians broke through to meet
troops pushing north from Buch-
Arrest.
In the meantime all mountain
passes were blocked and q Russian
spearhead crossing the Dnestr at
a point left undefended quickly en-
circled q German force of about II
divisions south of Chisinau. The
Russians then pushed on. driving
thousands of Germans before them
into the hands of the waiting Ro-t
manians.

the coup was complete success. OF
the 40 German divisions in the
country only two are known to have
escaped. BY September ! the first
Romanian troops were attacking
combined German and Hungarian
forces northwest Of the frontier and
the Soviet army was racing toward
Bulgaria and Yugoslavia.

Charter Drive Timed
10 Avoid Service
Vote, Foes CHARGE

The Citizens Committee to defeat
the charter last night defined thu
campaign for a charter for Mont
gomery County q a "sneak attempt
by the procharter group to change
the countys form Of government
while nearly 1900 service men and
women are serving with the armed
forces.
1.-THE Charterites," the committee
said, planned their campaign %
that voting on the charter would
come this November, D time when
those eligible for duty would be in
the armed forces"
The committee added that in ad-
dition to planning the charter
vote at a time when nearly 1900
residents would be away from the
county the charter proponents have
objected to letter to servicemen
and women, written by the COM
mittee to urge them to vote against
the charter.
Time Of Campaign Cited.
The campaign for the charter was
first held in 1912, during the II
months after Pearl Harbor, the
committee pointed out. Under the
Maryland constitution the final
vote would have to be in 1914. "Ob-
viously," the committee added, ''the
Charterites planned to completely
change the county government to a
form never tried before, with total
disregard for the 1000 servicemen
and women"
The committee said that only
8,044 county residents voted in 1912
to submit the charter to final vote
this fall, or 5000 fewer than are
now away from home serving in the
armed forces. This illustrates how
oblivious to the rights and interests
of other people these Charterites
really are" the committee said.
In its attack on the committees s
letter to servicemen, the procharter
group said the letter called the
charter form Of government "un-
tried" but failed to mention that
this system of government Is sue
cessfully employed in more than 500
cities, towns and counties through
out the United States.
Statement Called Misleading.
'T'his, like so many of the char
terites' contentious, is totally mis-
leading and generally untrue" the
committee said. "Procharter people
themselves claim only that seven
out of over 5000 American counties
have county managers, and have
never claimed that any American
county has a charter-council-county
manager form of government. II
there are such counties, the profess
sors and the procharter publicity
brigade ought to be able to find
them, name them and tell the
county voters about them.
I'm no American county," the
committee contended, "have the
voters been deprived of their fran
chise to the extent that the pro-
posed Montgomery County charter
would do. None Of the cities and
towns in the United States that
have councils and city managers
have any plan generally similar to
the council-manager setup pro-
posed in the charter.
WE are-certain," the E0mniftee
said, that no statement or allega-
ton about the pending charter con-
tained in the letter to servicemen
Is inaccurate or untrue"

Heroes Votes

A complete report on the fate of votes of
servicemen killed in action is not in. but al
ready it is certain that these votes will be
voided in at least IS states. In every case it
seems that state governments are following
the letter of laws which forbid counting the
ballot Of person who dies before election day.
But at least one state. New Jersey, has
baen more concerned with the spirit than with
the letter. Its attorney general has held that
such votes will be counted.
1t is incredible to think that other states
will not take some similar steps. Ironic is
too mild word for a situation in which a
man in his country's service is denied the
exercise of one of the rights for which he
fought simply because he died in defense of
those rights.
