Bucharest Jewish circles were reported today to be in a state of alarm as a result of the release of all Iron Guardists from three concentration camps and the announcement that Iron Guardists in exile abroad, most of them in Germany, would be permitted to return.

The Guardists were freed without the previous requirement that they swear allegiance to King Carol and the Front of National Rebirth. In addition, the King received in audience Dr. Ilie Garneata, a leader of the anti-Semitic terrorist organization, for an hour.
