BUCHAREST, Ruma nia, November I",—Manoilescu, former undersecre tary of finance, who is on trial for complicity In a plan for the restoration *>f state rights to former Crown Prince «'arc(, continued speaking in his own defense today. He made an impas sioned five-hour address, which was pronounced even by his adversaries as a jnagniflcent effort of oratory. He disclosed many heretofore hidden facts concerning the late King Ferdinand’s attitude toward Carol, and Carol’s difficulties with Premier Bratianu. The text of a letter from King Ferdinand to the president of the council a few days before the King's as disclosed by M. Manoilescu, begged the president to bring Carol back to his rightful place on the throne, . . Hearers in Tears. While quoting this letter from j memory and offering to divulge its j whereabouts, Manoilescu brought tears ' to the eyes of many by its touching j appeal, and the court proceedings! were momentarily halted until com posure was regained. Eater in the trial, appeal was made to M. Popovici, who was finance ini Ister ir the Stirbey cabinet, to con fir... that Ford in l J desired Carol’s return and his succession insured be fra he died. Popovici said he had gathered from audiences with King Ferdinand that the sovereign retarded renunciation and the regency as only transitional measures until Carol she Id mend his ways. M. Manoilescu startled the court by declaring of his own knowledge as former assistant minister of finance that there was an enormous deficit in Rumanian finances, amounting to 3,500,000,000 lei (approximtely $21,000,- 000) "of which nobody speaks.’’ He charged that other great deficits existed in the public debt and that proper equilibrium could be restored only by a strong authoritative ruler.

Refuses Honors. “Thinking I was dissatisfied with the price,” he went on, "the govern ment then offered me the ministership at "bondon. I declined, and out of one prison. I may enter another. I have chosen not the way to honors, but the t.av of honor.” He charged the government with being afraid to allow its members to testify before the court. The appar ent sincerity and frankness of Manoilescu in his five-hour effort greatly impressed his auditors. Half of them at times were tearful. Pro testing that he had been an engineer all his life, and therefore constructive, he exclaimed: "That I am in revolt against the government is due to the tragic state of the countrymen."

Men Must Snap Out of Lazy Ways to Hold Their Places m Generation or Two, Feminine Speaker Says. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, November 12. Men must snap out of their "naturally lazy" habits or women will be run ning more than half of the Nation’s business In a generation or two, dele gates attending the annual meeting of the Railroad Business Women’s As sociation were told today. A board of directors conducting its deliberations with the smoothness of an afternoon tea—witli Its eatty re marks removed —was the vision of Mrs. Oliva Johnson, Minneapolis. Mrs. Johnson "meets people of im portance" for the Great Northern Railway.

"Big executives found out how good women are at details—the soul of big business,” she said. "And the men being naturally lazy shifted more and more of the burden on to their woman secretaries. Then a big business man dies and no one knows .how to con duct his business except the woman secMtary, who had been conducting it for Tilm. So she becomes executive in title as well as actuality." There la the economic side, too, said Nellie M. Severance, of the 800 Line’s transportation service, "women used to win a living by fair means or foul—mostly foul.
