Carol seeks added power in Romania constitution
Bucharest February 21 King Carol proposes a new constitution granting him increased powers. The plan would let him appoint half the senate veto over laws and declare equality of all Romanians with religious freedom for Orthodox. The constitution would create a bicameral parliament with nine-year senatorial terms and limit Lomb aristocracy. The Iron Guard led by Corneliu Zelea Codreanu would see its influence curtailed. The nation votes Thursday by acclamation after nationwide meetings to explain the proposal.
