Vintila's Funeral. Carol's nerves probably stood very well the strain of knowing last week that apoplexy had just struck and killed his strongest foe: Vintila Bratianu. The House of Hohenzollern, imported from Germany, was placed on the throne of Rumania by the native House of Bratianu. A dynasty of titanic Bratianu Prime Ministers ruled the land until Ion Bratianu's death (TIME, Dec. 5, 1927).

...last week, with investigations still going on. To the record last week came additions: one more judge indicted, one more resigned. The indictment was for George F.

Almost identical to the McNinch case among the Democrats was last week's repercussion among the Republicans. The Senate Campaigns Fund Committee had discovered that Executive Director Robert Hendry Lucas of the Republican National Committee had sent propaganda into Nebraska in October advocating...
...Lapua (antiCommunist) Movement had just succeeded in driving Communism out of the Diet after a whirlwind election campaign whose tactics included kidnapping Communists and booting them over the Soviet frontier. Dr. Stahlberg had been rumored as listed among the bootees not as a Communist but as a Progressive, oldtime foe of the conservative parties. Finns have regarded the Communist kidnappings with marked complacency, but kidnapping their George Washington was another matter. Something had to be done. Detectives worked furiously. Last week eight persons were brought to trial, the spotlight was fixed on the chief conspirators: Major General K. Martii Wallenius...
