Groza Naturalization
OF hihai as Helping
Drive Tor Real Peace
> BY me As.eeios.d Pres.

BUCHAREST, Jan. Premier
Petru Groza declared today that
the resignation of King Mihai
and the proclamation of a Ro-
manian republic had made this
country "an active factor in the
anti-imperialist and democratic
camp in the battle for lasting
peace and popular democracy
Democracy" is the word
which the nations in the Soviet
zone Of influence commonly use
to describe the Communist form
Of government.)
The premier made his statement
In q New Years broadcast to the
nation less than SO hours after
Mihai's resignation. He acclaimed
the heroic working peoples" of
France, Italy, Indonesia and Spain,
and the Communist guerrillas Of
Greece. Beside whose forces of
Progress. democracy and peace" he
said, Romania was proud to take
her place.
I'VE enter the new year of 194s
at a moment when the battle be-
tween the forces of. progress,
democracy and peace, on one side,
and that of the imperialistic forces
that want to throw the people into
new disaster, quickens," the premier
declared.
Mihai's immediate departure for
Switzerland, meanwhile. was de-
layed until after New Year by un-
expected developments.
Informed sources said that the
young ex-King had intended to
leave yesterday, but that the trip
was postponed by the necessity Of
discussing financial questions with
members of the government. These
sources said the government also
wished to demonstrate the Kings
freedom of movement by showing
that it was not necessary for him
to hasten out of the country on New
Years.
TN London. Dimitri Diman-
esco, newly resigned counsellor
OF the Romanian Legation, said
that 600 members of Romania's
diplomatic corps at home and
abroad had been dismissed by
Communist Foreign Minister
Anna Pauker in "the Commu-
mist campaign eliminating in
King Mihai,s abdication."
(Mr. Dimanesco, who quit aft

to Bucharest, is taking his fam
lily to Morocco.

task of battling against Bearden,
and the actor gave up baseball after

It's a mighty frightening thing to

L. Leonard Levinson is one movie
producer who beats the critics to
the punch. He calls his own pictures
impossible.
Not because he really thinks
they're bad. Frankness is still the
rarest virtue in Hollywood.
Impossible Pictures, Inc. Chats its
registered name), makes cartoon
films. its Offices are the smallest in
town-one permanent room. nine by
nine feet, and another, slightly
larger, rented part time for an artist
and an animator or two.
Levinson, called Len, is writer
producer director, president and
general f1unky. His own quarters
are so small the pencil sharpener
is mounted outside the window. His
part-time secretary is borrowed
from a radio actors agency. When
she answers calls to Hillside 1904.
she says: This is Impossible

All his life Len wanted a cable
address. When he founded Impos-
sible he applied for one. It's Gable

It took him months to convince
communications executives this was
the address he wanted.
Levinson is bulky man. His
features, and his spectacle frames,
are on the heavy side. He's aggres-
sive, and sharp about capitalizing
on extremes and contradictions. He
kids cartoons and film folk in gen.
eral. And he attracts an amazing
