RUMANIAN UNREST
NAZI MOVE SUGGESTED PROTECTORATE PLAN (10.30 a.m.) LONDON, Oct. 19. Presumably to allay increasing Rumanian unrest, interested parties are sedulously spreading the story that all Axis-allied troops are being withdrawn from the eastern front this winter on the ground that they are sufficiently reliable for defence, says the Lisbon correspondent of ThcTimes!
While this is probably untrue, some form of soothing syrup is needed in Rumania which, despite casualties conservatively estimated at 350,000 killed, woundecL and prisoners, still has more than 70 divisions totalling about 400,000 men in Russia. The correspondent refers to reports that General Antonescu is seriously ill. The groups led by Dr. Maniu and M. Bratianu are still active and suggests that Germany might establish a protectorate if General Antonescu dies.
