Double Interest In Royal Birthday

(BS Associated Press)
SOFIA, Jan. ALI Bulgaria is
looking forward to King Boris
birthday with especial interest this
year.
An heir to the throne is ex-
pected soon, and it is considered
not at all unlikely that the child
may be born on or about January
80, when Boris III will celebrate
his both anniversary.
Fetes In Prospect
Should the dates coincide the
rejoicing will be great. Many
would consider it a good omen.
But the populace looks forward
in any case to the celebration of
both events within the same fort
night.
Whether boy or girl, the first
child of Boris end Queen Joanna
will be welcomed with a warmth
of affection reminiscent of the
reception accorded the queen
when her husband brought her
from Italy two years ago. On
that occasion the celebration
lasted three days and three nights.
Succession At Stake
Should the child be a boy, the
popular rejoicing would be
for Bulgaria's constitu-
ton prescribed direct succession
by the male line.
Many eager patriots are already
what the crown prince
will be called. Some say his name
will be Simeon, in remembrance
of Gar Simeon the Great, who
reigned from 1913 to 927-more
than a thousand years ago. Others
predict he will be christened
Ivan, after a ruler of the 18th CEN
