King Peter of Servia begins his
reign with the shadow of blood on
his throne. His first official act
was the advancing to higher rank
OF the men who murdered King
Alexander and thus paved the
way for him to his present
throne. Somehow or other the
chances are that King Peter will
find his crown pressing heavily o.
nights. Better be a good American,
Peter, than a frightened king, after
all. There's many a good job
