PUBLICITY MAN FOR EX-KING
RUMANIAN NOVELTY Russell Birdwell, famous American publicity expert, who has been engaged as public relations counsel to former King Carol of Rumania, is to receive 30,000 dollars (about £9,400) a year, says the "Herald-Tribune.” Officially Mr Birdwell will represent Carol, who is now in Mexico, in the United States. Mr Birdwell himself describes his job as "acting as a bureau of information for King Carol’s Government.” The “Herald-Tribune” points out that the State Department refused Carol permission to enter the United States, early in 1943 to testify at a case in which two men were charged with seeking to arrange Carol’s entrance as leader of the “Free Rumania” Movement. Rumanian funds in America total nearly 80,000.000 dollars, and should Carol be recognised as head of an exiled Rumanian Governmena he might “anticipate the release of these assets.”
