By the Assuciated Press PARIS, November Although Bucharest official udvices continue to maintain that the condition of King Verdigand is better, rumors from Vienna, Belgrade and other centers {are that he is dead. The statement from Bucharest that Ferdinand’s condition has shown im- provement seems to be horne out by a diplomat who has just arrived here from the Rumanian capital. He says that in Bucharest the belief prevails that the reporis as to the king, coming from Vienna, Berlin, Belgrade and other places, have heen disseminated by skillful Soviet propa ganda with the object of making trouble in Rumania. » The chief difficulty, hLe declares, appears to be that the doctors in attendance upon [Ferdinand do not know exactly what is the matter with him, and that two specialists from Paris are going to Bucharest to try to make an.accurate diagnosis. Queen May Avoid Carol. Interest in Paris today centered on what Marie and her truant son, for mer Crown Prince Carol, would have to say to each other when they met. In some quarters the opinion pre- vailed that Marie would avoid see- ing Carol, so as to prevent unjustified conclusions being drawn regarding the interview. ‘arol has ignored all reports to the effect that it is his intention to return to Bucharest and claim the right to ascend the throne in case of the death of his father, He has declined to be enticed into a declaration on his attitude in the dynastic crisis.

After several hours the rough sea abated and the lighter put out again, this time suo- ceeding in taking off the Queen and her party.
