The Bucharest correspondent of Reuters today forecast early issuance of new measures which would limit Rumanian nationality of Jews to whose who possessed it before the last war and exclude Jews from the army, except auxiliary services.

Other Bucharest reports said the Government was considering a plan which would force nearly 250,000 Jews who could not prove Rumanian ancestry for three generations to leave the country within five years, meanwhile living in ghettos as foreigners.
