THE KING’S DILEMMA SEARCH FOR A PRIME MINISTER ANTI-JEWISH ACTIVITIES United Tress Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright (Received Feb. li, 12.45 p.m.) LONDON, Feb. 10 The Bucharest correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says that King Carol after his acceptance of Mr Goga's resignation gave an audience to Dr. Maniu, the Democratic Leader of the National Peasant Party, who had not seen the King since 1932 because King Carol broke his promise not to bring back Madame Lupescue. The King saw many other political leaders, indicating his desire to form a Cabinet of concentration. The Juridical Committee's decision that the Royal decree of January 22 was unconstitutional dealt the Goga Cabinet a severe blow. The decree violated the constitutional guarantee for the full equality of all citizens by singling out the Jews for unfavourable treatment, making it possible to denationalise the country's 7 50,000 Hebrews. The decree was also a pretext for the immediate expulsion of the Jews from many professions. Jews Manhandled Non-Jewish lawyers in Bucharest, Jaisy and other centres prevented Jewish counsel pleading by beating them and throwing them into the streets. The engineering, medical and other professions took similar measures. University students seized and severely beat male and female Jewish students and no Jews dared to resume work in the medical, legal and other faculties.
