theme was stressed at the an
nual banquet last night by for
mer Governor William A. Com
stock of Detroit, who declared
he "hopes to see the day Mich
igan doesn't have to beg the
Federal Government for any
thing"
Comstock, who served as a
Democratic chief executive in
l933-34 and now is a member Of
Detroit's non-partisan city coun-
Gil, described the government as
"a Federal bureaucracy which
has unjustly taken away state
powers in exchange for subsi-
dies"
Governor Kelly also addressed
the association, but spoke brief
ly because of a cold.

will return to fundamental gov

New Dealers say" Comstock de-
clared that the war will make

The supervisors yesterday Pc
toned the state legislature and
Michigan congressman to iron
out conflicts between Federal
and state social welfare activi-
ties which tend TO reduce local
patronage powers.
Anticipating sharp drop in
weight tax revenues this year,
the association yesterday rec
commended that the legislature
appropriate additional funds
for county road and park inn
provements. Several such pro-
posals already have been brew
ing at the Capitol, suggesting
extra appropriations ranging
from 100000 to $5,000,00O.
Another source of revenue.

be payment of federal service

Unrest Flares
in Bulgaria
BuIsors Fight
Germon Demonds
BY FRANK O'BRIEN

ANkARA, Turkey, Jan. a.
(Delayed)-(P- Travellers re-
turning to Turkey from Bulgaria
report that general unrest and
even riots were precipitated aft
er Germany made new demands
on the Bulgarians shortly after
the beginning of the year, chief
ly for help against Russia.
The reports said that Bulgaria
might be forced to contribute
perhaps 10 divisions to Hitler's
armies, but that the Germans
faced trouble if they insisted on
using Bulgars in Russia.
The Bulgarians long have
looked to the Russians as BROTH
er Slavs and their best friends
and have considered it unthink-
able that they would be required
to bear arms against the people
who gave them their independ-
ence in 1877.
The travellers said II was felt
that the Bulgars might be more
willing to fight Turkey or OPP
pose an Allied invasion In the
Balkans, but the basic Bulgar-
ian policy is to keep the army
home for defense of their Mace
DOMAIN or Thracian gains when
ever the Axis collapses.
The most notable thing in Bull
garia, said this traveller, was
roadbuild ng everywhere by
compulsory labor. Few Germans
were seen stationed in Bulgaria
but by railroads and highway q
continual flow of German troops
TO and from Greece and Yugo-
slavia was reported.

Clark, District War Manpower
Commission Director, said today
that approximately 900 Detroit
independent truck owners who
were available in normal times
will be asked to deliver coal
in their spare time or full time
during the next month.
Coal dealers reported to the
VINO that they are three weeks
behind in deliveries because of
the shortage of drivers and
trucks. They said that their re-
serve force of independent driv-
ers and truck owners has entered
War Plants for higher wages
and apparently their trucks are
in storage for the duration.

Nazi Press Airs
Soviet Trickery

STOCKHOLM, Jan. % Up
The German press is attempt
ing to explain defeats on the
Soviet front by declaring that
the Russians tricked them, a
Swedish correspondent report
ed today.
Russia's concealment of her
real military power and skill in
camouflage resulted in surprises
for the Germans even during the
second year of the campaign,
the press complained.
The Russians were said to
have changed the names of
many places, built new towns
whose existence was kept secret
and laid new railways which
were not shown on any maps
available to the Germans.

Russia
Continued from Pare One

COntlnuc0 from rage One
ported in the Caucasus which
would help encircle the Maikop
area, came as the Russians push
ed another spearhead into the
arc brishing against Rostov and
as fresh reports came of the sur
render of thousands of cold,
war-weary Axis troops on other
fronts.
The latest thrust toward Ros-
TOW was from Salsk. whence a
Red army spur had raked
northwestward along the rail
way to Ataman, within 80 miles
Of Rostov.
Meanwhile, other units had
pressed on beyond Belaya
Gina, on the main Stalingrad
line and only 40 miles from
Tikhoretsk, it was reported.
The other spearheads bearing
down on Rostov were located
by the Russians at points 70
miles north Of the city and Sc
miles to the east, on the Lower
Don.
Other reported successes on
the southern front brought the
capture of Novo Alexandrov-
skaya, 80 miles due east of Kro-
potkin and Rashivatskaya, 20
miles southeast.
At Novo ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
the Soviet troops would be in
position to flank Kropotkin from
the north, and the whole oper-
alton in this area and along the
Baku-Rostov railway past Ar
mavir formed another segment
of the arc being drawn about
Maikop.
(There we're reports in Lon
don that the Germans were as
sembling escape barges at Nov
orossisk, the Black Sea naval
base now occupied by the Nazis,
to transport their armies out of
the Caucasus if they cannot hold
Rostov.)
In northern sectors Of the
Russian front. the Red army
was said to have swept into
Gorshechnoye, 80 miles east and
slightly south Of Kursk, . Ger
man stronghold and base on the
Moscow harkov railway.
In the Varvorovka-Sh elyakino
sector of the Voronezh front the
Russians reported 5000 axis
troops, including high officers,
had surrendered after only a
short battle.
1t was in this area that more
than 1000 axis troops already
had been reported taken prison
er.
The surrender Of several
thousand more Germans trap
ped in front of Stalingrad also
was announced by the Russian
midnight communique, and the
steady humiliation of their COM
panions continued, the Russians
said.
