A sweeping German victory in
the battle for political influence
in Rumania was scored tonight
with -the' announcement that
King Carol was forming a new
totalitarian political party on
the nazl. pattern. .
The party is to be known as
"the party of the nation." It
will supercede the present party
of national rebirth. The pro
nazi iron guard will play a big
part in the new organization
whose bases were announced as
"nationalistic, Christian and ra

It . was learned that a royal
decree was drafted providing
for complete reorganization of
the ' national rebirth front to
take in all opposition elements,
the iron guard along with the
peasant party.
Carol will make the first
broadcast of his life except for
his annual holiday greetings
tomorrow night when he is ex

changes.
