of King Boris III left the ner-. j
vous Balkan monarchy facing Nazi1
demands for all-out axis coopera-
tion.
The Bulgarian people are de-
manding that Premier Bogdan
Filov step out to make way for
a move toward peace, radio Al-
giers reported, adding that the
restiveness in the Balkans en-
gendered by Boris’ death has spread
to Hungary and Rumania. Postal
communications with Bulgaria were
said to have been severed.
Loss of Boris was viewed as a
political calamity by the German
people, inasmuch as he was not
only the country’s strongest man
but a staunch axis friend, an Ex-
change Telegraph dispatch from
Zuricii said, quoting Berlin advices
to the Neue Zurcher Zeltung.
Tug-of-War Expected
A council of ministers headed
by Premier Bogdan Filov controlled
the country pending a meeting of
the national assembly to name a
regency for the new king, 6-year-
old Simeon II. a grandson of King
Victor Emmanuel of Italy.
It was indicated that a tug-of-
war for power would break out j
shortly. Tire German minister was
said to have discussed the situa-
tion with the premier, then en-
trained for Belgrade to confer
with Nazi officials.
The Algiers radio reported a
general strike In central Bul-
garia and said two alleged Com-
munists were sentenced to death
after an assault on a Bulgarian
policeman
Bern dispatches said that a
coalition of Democratic and Com-
munist elements Irad been form-
eft behind Nicholas Mushonov, op-
position leader In parliament. A
Cairo report indicated that Boris’
unmarried sister. Princess Eudoxla.
might seize the opportunity to
broaden her already strong in-
fluence.
Situation Scrambled
The position of Queen Giovanna.
daughter of the Italian ruler, in
the scrambled situation was not
known She and a corps of guar-
dians named by the cabinet will
be In direct charge of the king
but under the Bulgarian constitu-
tion this group cannot be part
of the regency.
Boris, who died only a lew days
alter a visit to see Adolf Hitler,
was reported to have been bring-
ing back demands from the nazi
fuehrer to go all-out In backing
Germany, even to letting the
gestapo take care of alleged com-
munist unrest. Whether Filov will
meet the situation was not Indi-
cated.
There were widespread reports
that Boris was the victim of an
assassin’s bullet Axis and Bul-
garian dispatches broadcast by
European radios said he died of
heart disease complicated by pneu-
monia The fact he had heart
trouble was a surprise inasmuch
as he was known as a great sports-
man who loved to do such things
as drive locomotives at break-
neck speed.
Hitler Send* Sympathy
.- Hitler sent messages of sym-
pathy to the queen and to Filov
mourning Boils as a "true friend
and ally,” and radio Rome said
the body was lying In state at
the court chapel.
The German news agency DNB
said the funeral would be Sept
6 with burial it the Alexander
Nvaky cathedral.
Flight of Ciauo

AT THE 8WI88-1TALI AN
FRONTIER. Aug. 30—OP)—The re-
ported flight of Count Oaleazso
Ctano, former Italian foreign min-
ister ' and son-in-law of Benito
Mussolini, today angered the Ital-
ian people who considered him one
of the most responsible for the
Fascist regime
A Chlasao dispatch to the Swiss
Telegraphic agency said Italians
had assumed that Ctano and his
family were heavily guarded and
therefore were surprised to learn
hed been able to escape.

Expansion In
Naval Strength
Is Anticipated
Plan Contributing In
Part To Drafting Of
446,000 Fathers
WASHINGTON. Aug. 30 —(U.R)—
Available figures indicate today
tha^ heavier manpower require-
ments of the naval forces are con-
tributing In part to the approach-
ing draft of an estimated 446,000
fathers.
Navy department statistics of
present and planned strength of
the navy, marine corps and coast
guard show that better than one-
third of the men drafted this
month, and who will be inducted
during the remaining months of
1943. will go Into those forc^
Reliable sources, who declined
give actual figures, said this
a higher ratio than in the' early
part of 1943 And. it was believed,
this is due to the rapid expan-
sion of the seven-ocean fleet.
Army Demands Slacken
While navy demands Increase,
army demands are slackening at
a comparable pace. There already
have been assurances that the
army Is leveling off and that its
future manpower needs will de- j
pend on the number of battle |
casualties and the rate of loss j
through sickness and non-combat- j
ant deaths, as well as discharges ;
for other reasons.
As of July 31, the combined
strength of the navy marine
corps and coast guard enlisted
personnel was 2,038.000. while on
Dec. 31 this is expected to reach
2.624,000. an increase of 566.000.
This would mean a monthly de-
mand upon selective service for
117.200 inductees.
Combined Calls Averaged
It was also known that com-
bined calls of the army and navy
are averaging 300.000 a month,
and will continue to average that
number through December if selec-
tive service estimates prove cor-
rect when the actual calls come
through for November and Dec-
ember. It already has been reveal-
ed that the October call is "a
shade lower" than 312.000. q
In addition to the demand for
enlisted personnel, the navy will
require an additional 30.800 offi-
cers.

Construction Urged
BRISTOW. Aug. 30 —(U.R»— A
program ol "made-work" highway
construction to employ Oklahoma's
| drouth-stricken farmers was pro-
posed today by L. M. Nichols, pub-
lisher and former chairman of
the state board of affairs.
He warned that “If something
| isn’t done quickly." many farmers
, will be forced to abandon the land
; and seek jobs In the city.
"Once they pull up stakes and
i move to the cities to seek defense
| jobs," Nichols said, "they probably
I never will be able to return to
I farming. The time to keep them
| on the land, where they are most
needed, is while they still have all
I of their livestock, chickens and
‘ equipment."
■ The publisher expressed belief
that the state highway depart-
ment could provide "worthwhile”
j jobs for farmers on roads near
I their homes—roads that badly need
I new construction or repairs, any-
way.

"We have enough approved high-

Germany Pounding
Iron Fist Upon
Rebellious Danes
Hitler's Germany—pounding an
Iron fist upon rebellious Danes—
admitted another setback today in
the abandonment of Taganrog,
anchor of German southern de-
fenses In Russia, as Red army
pincers endangered perhaps 800.-
000 Nazis in the Donets basin sec-
tor.
The Oermans announced the
abandonment of Taganrog, south-
ern anchor of the Russian front.
In a surprise retreat Indicating the
entire southern front is crumbling.
With the fall if this Important
Sea of Azov port to the victor-
iously onrushing Red army, the
capture of Stallno. Hitler's south-
ern front headquarters 70 miles to
the northwest, may follow soon.
Taganrog, said the Germans, was
"evacuated according to plan” after
being "completely destroyed." It
was another of the so-called "stra-
tegic withdrawals" which Oerman
propagandists have been at pains
to color as Nazi traps for vic-
tories.
Fierce Battle Reported
Premier Joseph Stalin announced
the capture of Taganrog later to-
day Ui a special order of the day.
He said the capture was the re-
sult of a fierce engagement in
which the Russians routed the Ger-
mans.
The fall of Taganrog came as
a surprise since there had been
no reports of heavy fighting In
this region recently from either
Moscow or Berlin.
Taganrog had been fortified
heavily by the Germans and lta
recapture by the Russians Indicates
the power of the current Red
army drive.
In the Pacific, allied troops land-
ed unopposed on Arundel Island

their hold on that strategic Island
chain, but Japanese counter-
charges pressed allied line* back

Danish Ships Scuttled
Valiant Danish sailors scuttled
moat of their little fleet Sunday
morning as their comrades battled
the Oermans In fierce fighting In
Copenhagen naval yard and Nazis,
taking over the kingdom under
ruthless military dictatorship, pour-
ed in more troops, tanks and trains
to crush resistance.
Bulgaria posed still another dan-
ger to German Inner defenses and
allied airmen, raining bombs on
Italy, reported the axis appeared
to have pulled out the bulk of Its
garrisons In the south of that pen-
insula.
As the fourth anniversary of the
war neared, serious cracks were
widening In the German fuehrer's
"fortress." Continued waves of sabo-
tage and rebellion by angry Danes
ended the "model protectorate” In
Denmark and the Nazis took over
completely the little country com-
manding the North and Baltic
seas.
The Brltsh Broadcasting corpora-
tion said several hundred Oerman
soldiers “are said to have been
killed In clashes with Danish
troops."
Fire* 8 till Biasing
Fires still blazed today In Cop-
enhagen liarbor and Oerman planes
and ships still fired at small boats
of fleeing Danes.
Forty-five ships. Including two
destroyers and nine submarines,
were scuttled by loyal sailors, har-
bor fortifications were wrecked
and Danish royal guards fought
the Germans at the palace at
Amalienborg, ceasing only on order
of King Christian X.
Two small destroyers and eight
other naval vessels escaped to
Sweden but a 38 000-ton coastal
defense ship was sunk by a Oer-
man plane In her flight.
