Ex-King Carol Arrives Safely in Switzerland

Broken Train Windows Confirm Assassination Attempt; Former Monarch Said Going to Canada

Broken windows in the train appeared to confirm reports that Iron Guardists had fired on the former king's special train at Timisora, which is near the Yugoslavian border.
