Ministry typist, Florica spirescu,
tainted in the witness box today
and fell in front of the man whom
she had Just implicated in the
"high treason" trial Of DR.. Juliu
MANU-, leader of the Roman1an
National Peasant Party.
Miss Spirescu resumed her testi-
mony after she was revived, COM
pleting her story that she had
copied secret Foreign Ministry
documents for Victor Radulescu-
Pogoneanu, former Foreign Min
istry counselor, who is one OF the
19 defendants.
Trial in Fourth Day.
The typist was one of the prose-
cution witnesses called to support
charges of espionage in the indict-
ment. The trial entered its fourth
day today. with the government
dropping its direct conformation
of the defendants to introduce wit
nesses to substantiate evidence on
file.
Miss Spirescu said she had copied
for Mr.. Pogoneanu confidential
documents on economic matters, IN
cluding Romanian agreements with
Bulgaria and Yugoslavia.
Since the war 1t has been for
hidden in Romania to publish pro-
duction figures or the texts OF COM
mercial treaties. Mere possession
of these documents by unauthorized
persons is considered criminal Of
fense.
Miss Spirescu said she had copied
the documents in question out OF
friendship for Mr.. Pogoneanu. She
said she had been devoted to him
during the IL years she had served
with him.
She testified she realized Mr..
Pogoneanu had left the Foreign
Ministry but that she had kept him
informed because she knew he was
still interested in foreign affairs. She
told the court she did not know she
was doing anything wrong.
Seeks To Implicate u. S.
/ Niculae Popescu, former Foreign
Ofice official, preceded the typist on
the stand, testifying that he too had
been instrumental in getting for the
alleged conspirators secret docu-
ments relating to Stockholm, Berne
and Ankara negotiations prior to the
coup d'etat of August, 1914, in which
the pro- -Nazi dictatorship Of Marshal
Ion Antonescu was overthrown.
Niculae Carrie, another witness,
sought to implicate the United States
in his testimony. He said he was
rewarded with a job at the Lido
swimming pool, which was under
American control, by Charles Chulik,
former first secretary Of the Ameri-
can political representative In Ro-
mania, for obtaining confidential in
formatio on Soviet economic influ-
ence in Romania. He said this data
was turned over to Vasile Serdici,
former spress representative for the
National Peasant Party and one of
the defendants. Serdici, Carrie said,
passed the information along to the
Americans.

CRUDE OIL PRICE
 INCREASED WITH
 OTHER PRODUCES

Due to the higher buying prices announced several days ago by other oil companies, Standard of California will increase the price it pays for heavy crude oil of "A degrees gravity and below in vary ing amounts.
 The adjustment is based upon an increase from 10 to l2 cents "a barrel for the heaviest crudes, and ranges down to one cent a barrel. The new prices are retro active to October 28.
 It was explained the changes are required to insure necessary crude supplies to meet unpreced- ented consumer demands. The in creases by other companies have placed Standards purchase prices for crude below market levels.
 Because of the direct relationship between the cost of crude and the price of finished products from this raw material product prices today will reflect these Sllgnt Hl- creaseS.
 One-tenth of a cent a gallon for all grades of gasoline, including aviation, and kerosene; two-tenths of a cent gallon for heating oils and diesel fuels, and five cents barrel for industrial-type fuel oils.
 These adjustments are made with utmost reluctance" spokes- man for Standard said. How ever, the crude oil increases other companies have posted or placed in effect compel us to make this move
 The last change in the price of gasoline was a voluntary decrease |of three tenth of a cent gallon, instituted by Standard May 2, 1947, in an attempt to hold the price line.
