Navy Responsible
For Dad Draft

WASHINGTON, Aug. up
Available figures indicate today that
heavier manpower requirements of
the naval forces are contributing
in part to the approaching draft of
an estimated 100000 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 re-
naming months of 1943, will go
into those forces.
Reliable sources, who declined to
give actual figures, said this was
higher ratio than in the early
part of 1943. And, 1t was believed
this is due to the rapid expansion
of the seven-ocean fleet.

Since the American home Is our

RR is of the opinion that all OF us
should get busy Immediately and
help the servicemen and their wives

There is no use in lamenting in

We believe that the servicemen

right to maintain their homes as
long as the men are in the United
States if it is at all possible for
them to do SO. A home, of course,

People Demand Premier
Resign After Boris
Death: Demand Peace

LONDON, Aug. 80. (UP)
- Anti-German demOnstra-
tions were reported today to
have broken out in Sofia af-
ter the sudden death of King
Boris III left the nervolus Balkan
monarchy facing Nazi demands for
all-out Axis cooperation.
The Bulgarian people are de-
manding that Premier Bogdan Filov
step out to make way for a move
toward peace, Radio Algiers report
ed, adding that the restiveness in
the Balkans engendered by Boris
death has spread to Hungary and
Rumania. Postal communications
with Bulgaria we're said to have
been severed.
The daily express, in a dispatch
from the Bulgarian frontier, said
crowds were dispersed outside the
German legation in Sofia and that
the area around the building was
blocked off by troops.
WANT PEACE
London radio reports said the
demonstrators shouted down with
Germany" and I'VE want peace"
A council of ministers headed by
Premier Bogdan Filov controlled the
country pending meeting OF the
natioanl assembly to name a regen-
cy for the new king, six-year-old
Simeon II, grandson of King Vic
tor Emmanuel of Italy.
A United Press Istanbul dispatch
quoting advices from Sofia said
anti-Nazi groups had distributed
handbills yesterday charging Sim
con was a helpless tool of Filov
and the opposition parties would
not recognize a regency without a
new more democratic cabinet.
The dispatch said it also was re-
ported from Sofia that Adolf Hitler
had named Marshal Erwin Rommel
as his representative to Boris fu-
neral, indicating Rommel also
might have been assigned the job
of supporting Filov's cabinet with
military force.
There is understood to be mini
mum of two and possibly three
German divisions in Bulgaria, the
dispatch said. 1t said there was
every indication in Istanbul that
Boris had been assassinated, al

Spain-despite the Axis support
which placed him in power, Premier
Francisco Franco has reached the
midstream of a delicate effort to
shift Spain from a position of non
belligerency to actual neutrality
and friendship for the Allies.
Portugal - this country played
doggo during the Axis ascendancy,
despite treaty with Great Britain,
and its press was the most neutral
of Europe. Portugals press now
shows some Allied tendencies and
sympathy.

neutrality of Switzerland stays

: Reflecting the importance Russia
attached to the seizure of Tagan-
rog, which had been in German
hands since the initial 1941 inva-
sion sweep, Premier-M Marshall
Joseph Stain announced it in an
order of the day-an honor given
to the capture of Kharkov exactly
a week ago.
The Moscow broadcast of the
Soviet victory followed by few
hours a Berlin acknowledgment
that the Germans had given up
Taganrog, saying they had done SO
to shorten the front"
Stain said Soviet forces of the
southern front took Taganrog as a
result of fierce battles, belying the
Nazi claim of pulling out voluntar-
lily after destroying vital war in
stallations at the key base 35 miles
west of Rostov.
DARING MANEUVER
This new victory won by our
troops in the south was gained as
result of a daring maneuver by
mounted and mechanical units
which broke into the rear of the
enemy troops" the order of the day
said.
Stain said the Red army assault
forces routed" the Taganrog gar
rison. The suggestion was implicit
that the Nazis were fleeing west
ward along the sea of AZov in that
promised to be retreat all the way
to the Dnieper.
The crushing of the Tagonrog
anchor intensified the menace to
the German troops in the Donets
basin, who already were threatened
with development by a Soviet
wheeling movement from the Khar-
kov area.
"As result of the operation car
ried out, cur troops have complete
ly liberated the Rostov region from
the German invaders" Stain said.
The Germans had chung to only a
small toehold in the Rostov region.
and from 1t they now were swept
back into the Ukraine.
In keeping with custom inaug-
urated during the Red army's pres
ent summer offensive, Stain order
ed that two divisions-th 30th and
4l6th rifle divisions, composed of
men from Azerbaidzhan hence
forth be known as the Taganrog
divisions.

Georgia Justice
Says Rent-ControI
Unconstitutional
Federal Judge Holds
Section of Emergency
Control Act Invalid

MACON, Ca, Aug. 80.
| UP)-Federal Judge Bas,
com Deaver today ruled that
the governments action in
controlling rents was uncOn-
stitutional.
The ruling was handed down in
suit brought by John w. Payne
against j. H. Griffin, of Thomas
vile, Ga.
Judge Deaver declared that rent
provision of the emergency price
control act was unconstitutional
and invalid"
He held that congress must pass
specific law to control rents.
Paine contended that he had
been charged rent which was in
excess of the amount set for this
area by the act and sought as
damages three times the amount
he claimed he was overcharged, as
provided by the ac-.
NOT INVOLVED
Judge Deaver held that the rem
control provision of price contro
act was unauthorized delegation ol
legislative power" The remainder
of the act--the so-called antrim
/ flation law signed by President
Roosevelt on Oct. 2, 942-was not
involved in the decision.
The decision further held that
congress had failed in the act to
set forth adequate standards by
which OPA administrators would
administer the rent control pro-
gram. The administrators, Deaver
said, were given too wide a discre-
ton in setting up the program.
The specific section held invalid
was two-B.
Twelve previous decisions have
been handed down by various fed
eral courts in connection with the

by a three Judge federal court in
