Two Iron Guard leaders who secretly entered this country from Germany were arrested today, marking the first breach in the incipient reconciliation between the Government and the pro-Fascist organization, which most Rumanians continue to view as a potential “fifth column”. The press, at the same time, was placed under rigorous orders to refrain from giving Germany any slightest provocation, and newspapers formerly sympathetic with the Allies began giving a decidedly Nazi tinge to their war reports.
