British Eager 10 Push
Air Offensive, Says
Publisher Mclean
BY the Associated Press.


PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 30.-Robert
Mclean, president of the Associated
Press and of the Evening Bulletin.
just back after month in England
and Scotland, said today the British,
confident of victory, are eager to
press the Allied air offensive to the
fullest lest the Germans develop an
effective defense against bombers.
Unless our American Air Force in
the European theater is built up to
full strength at this time we run
the risk of Germany finding the de-
fensive tactic or weapon which will
deprive us of our present oppor-
| tunity," he said.
Will Lessen Invasion Cost.
The British remember how they
Kept Germany from cashing in on
golden chance of victory in the
otner World War; German sub
marines had the British supply lines
strangled so that Britain was within
two weeks of defeat Then the
British discovered the means of
coping with U-boats" Encouraged
as they are by the Allied bombings,
the British do not believe that
bombings alone can defeat the Axis,
he said.
But they are convinced" he add
ed, that the bombings will lessen
materially the cost of invasion of
the continent because of the de-
struction of enemy equipment, the
destruction of factories which
manufacture that equipment and
the disrupting of lines of communi-
cation.
Points to Air Battles.
'The fury, the viciousness with
which the Nazis are pressing home
the attack against Allied bombers
demonstrate how badly the bomb
ings are hurting them The Ger
man defenders are fighting with the
same intensity as did the British
fighters against the Luftwaffe in
the battle of Britain. They are act
ing as if the fate of Germany de-
pends upon them, and quite likely
it does"
Mr.. Mclean went to England at
the invitation of the British Min
istry of Information. He returned
Saturday night by Clipper. His
comments were reported today by
Carl w. McCardle of the Bulletin
staff after an interview.

Three days of rehearsals will
precede the Army's Back the At

on the Washington Monument
grounds, as a feature of the Treas
urys Third War Loan drive.
Approximately 1900 Army officers

Fourteenth street, and announce
ment that the Army's fog machine,
a spectacular veteran of overseas
operations, will be included in the
huge exhibit.
The locomotive was to be hauled
by trailer to the Monument Grounds
and there rolled down to steel rails
through a "cribbing" operation,
without aid of a crane. The engine
is painted a battleship gray.
The Army's MI mechanical
smoke generator, trailer mounted, is
to be shown here publicly for the
first time. Spewing jets of snow
white smoke from their Tipped
mouths, these generators blinded
enemy troops in North Africa with
| impenetrable screens along wide
fronts.
On the theory that you can't
hit what you can't see," the Army
| says the mechanical smoke -gener-
ator is the latest, most effective
weapon in the military science of
deception. This smokemaker has
proved capable of producing so to
100 times as much smoke, with less
cost and less human effort. than
any previous smoke apparatus, Off
! cials said.

mental stage to distinguish it from
other generators, looks like a "gay

Judge 'sConvictionfor
Contempt for Court
By the Associated Press.


MOBILE, Ala, Aug. 30.-Contend-
ing that editorial criticism does not
constitute contempt of court, Pub
Usher Ralph B. Chandler of the
Mobile Press and Register today ap-
pealed his conviction on that charge
Mr.. Chandler was sentenced to six
hours in Jail and fined $40 on June
II by Judge Tisdale J. Touart of
Inferior Criminal Court after the
newspaper published an editorial
icriticizing a sentence fixed by Judge
Touart. r
Probate Judge Norvell l.. Leigh
granted review of the conviction
and in an appeal brief filed. today
Attorney Thomas E. Twitty declared
Mr.. Chandler in publishing the
editorial was convinced and still is
convinced that the editorial posi-
ton taken by him was correct.
Judge Touart, of course, is entitled
to the opposite view, but no court
is entitled to be the Judge of the
correctness or fairness of criticism
against nlnlSeu IN a publication OF
this sort"
The brief contended Judge Tou-
arts decision violates freedom OF
the press as guaranteed by the Con-
stitution," and that the Alabama
code does not authorize citations
for contempt on account of publica-
ton"
Mr.. Twitty also cited a United
States Supreme Court decision in
the case of the Los Angeles Times
and Mirror. Mr.. Justice Hugo
Black pointed out" in that case
Mr.. Twitty said, that "it is difficult
to conceive how an editorial OF
publication can have any tendency
to disturb or obstruct the admin

Bulgarian Premier
Works 10 Keep Hold
After Death Of Kinq
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ISTANBUL, Aug. 80. - Bull
garia, unsettled by the death of
King Boris, presented a poten-
tial problem to Hitler today as
Premier Bogdan Philov sought
to reconcile conflicting elements
in the nation which made his
position none too secure.
The five-memper regency which,
according to German broadcasts,
will rule in behalf of the bov King
Simeon II, apparently is dominated
by an anti-German, pro- British
church leader-the Metropolitan of
Sofia, Stefan, who has protested
Gestapo activity in Bulgaria and
against anti-Semitic laws passed
during the last two years.
The Queen Mother Joanna, second
member of the regency, also is re-
garded as decidedly German.
Prince Kyril, brother of the late
King, and Philov are both pro-
German, but far from strong. while
the fifth regent is a politically un-
known Supreme Court justice.
Military Cabinet Expected.
Composed by such diverse ele-
ments, it seems highly unlikely that
this regency will be able to prevent
the orphaned Philov government
from collapsing and being replaced
with a military cabinet.
In that event the leader of the
government probably would be
selected from the military hierarchy
which is enthusiastically pro-Ger-
man. Such a government douotieSs
would be plant to German desires
and might break off relations with
Russia and agree to assume the chief
burden of the defense OF Greece or
even participate in the Russian war.
The possibility of popular upris-
ing which would overthrow the
monarchy and establish a Repub-
lican or Socialist government under
the sway of Russia-on whom the
Bulgarians have traditionally looked
as friends~was not entirely dis
counted here.
However, such a revolt was con-
sidered possible only if the Germans
are unable to send sufficiently
strong forces into Bulgaria or to the
borders to keep the situation in
hand.
Minister Sees Gestapo Chief.
In any event, the situation ap-
parently will demand close watching
by Hitler.
The first evidence of increased
German influence in Bulgaria quick
ly followed the death of Boris when
Minister of the Interior Peter
Gabrovsky twice conferred with the
Gestapo chief in Bulgaria upon
means of keeping order within the
nation.
First reports indicated that the
death of Boris provoked consterna-
tion throughout Bulgaria.
CThe British radio reported
yesterday that crowds had staged
peace demonstrations in the
streets of Sofia and said the Ger
man Embassy in the Bulgarian
capital had been stoned. The
broadcast said Boris death had
precipitated an internal crisis
and that communications with
other countries had been sus-
pended. The peace demonstrators
were said to have shouted for
Pillows reSignation)
The Bulgarian public appears to
fear that the nation now will quickly
fall completely into the hands of the
Germans. While there have been no
signs of serious disturbances, the
conferences between Gabrovsky ard
the Gestapo chief apparently indi-
cate the government fears.
