Bulgaria and Romania
Again Are Reported
Making Peace Moves
BY the Associated Press.

oy tAC AoSUCldtCQ EIcSe.
LONDON, Aug. 10.-New rum
blings that two of Hitler's Balkan
satellites, Bulgaria and Romania,
are seeking a way out of the war
came today from Turkey, but so far
there has been no official Allied
word to lift this or any of the pre-
vious reports out of the rumor cate
CORY.
An Istanbul dispatch from Asso-
ciated Press Correspondent Frank
O'Brien said reports, wholly uncon-
f1rmed, were circulating there that
Bulgaria had asked the Turkish
government to arrange peace terms
with the Allies.
At the same time, other unSub-
stantiated Turkish reports repre-
scented Romania as carefully watch
ing for any Russian-Finnish peace
moves as guide to whether the
time is propitious to quit. It was
said that a new government, al
ready formed, would take over and
ask Russia for an armistice if the
terms to Finland are moderate.
CThe British radio said last
night that both the counselor and
the secretary of the Ronnanian
Legation at the Vatican have re-
signed, refusing to serve any
longer under the government of
Marshal Ion Antonescu. The
broadcast, beamed to Europe, was
monitored in New York by NBCD
Bulgaria Not Fighting Reds.
Bulgaria is at war only with the
western Allies, not Russia. Romania
is fighting with Hitler against all
his enemies.
Mr.. O,Brien said the Bulgarian
report was given some color by the
fact that DR.. Floyd Henson Black,
for 10 years president of the Amer
lean College in Bulgaria and now
president of the American College
in Istanbul, had left Istanbul hur-
riedly for Ankara.
Mr.. O'Brien added that it was
believed the United States Embassy
had called DR.. Black into conSulta-
ton because of his intimate knowl-
edge of Bulgaria, his personal
friendship with the Bulgarian Min
lister to Turkey, Nikola Balabanov,
and the wide respect he commands
In Bulgaria.
BY the word-of-mouth accounts
eulating in Turkey, the western
Allies have demanded that Bulgaria
GUST German armed units before
talking about an armistice. A traV-
eler who had just reached 1stanbul
from Bulgaria declared that Ivan
Bagrianov, Premier of the puppet
government in Sofia, was deter
mined to get the Germans out" and
that Bulgaria would throw them out
If they were not gone by the end OF
August. This source said less than
one German division remained in
Bulgaria.
Mr.. O'Brien said Premier Bagria-
nov recently made a number OF
changes in the Bulgarian Army
command, setting aside known pro-
Germans in favor of moderates who
would follow orders if told to attack
the Nazi forces.
Meanwhile, Premier Bagrianov
was reported making efforts to get
Bulgar-Soviet relations on friendly
footing
The Bulgars we're said to be ready
to grant the Soviet consulates in
their chief towns if the Russians
would name a minister to Bulgaria
and accept minister from Bull
garia. Each of the two matte rs now
is represented by a charge d'affaires.

SEVEN SOLDIERS
 BELIEVED DEAD IN SKIFF MISHAP

HEADQUARTERS, ALASKAN DEPARTMENT - Seven sol diers, whose skiff apparently overturned in the Bay area of Valdez Arm while they were at tempting to. salvage signal equip ment from the waters week ago, are still missing and must be pre- stunned lost, it was announced July goth at Alaskan Department headquarters.
 Extensive searches have been under way since the detail of enlisted men failed to return to their station at Valdez on July 11th. Thus far only the overturn- ed boat, floating oars and one ar tic1e of equipment, which had been caught in the tow rope of the skiff, have been found.
 Beaches in the area were comb ed at low tide by search parties in skiffs and by other parties landed from an Air Force crash boat, which was dispatched to the scene. Waters of the Bay area wereg dragged with grapplin hooks for tuur days in an unsuc- cessful attempt to recover the bodies.
 Military authorities. said they held little hope of recovering the bodies because of glacial silt, un- derctrrents and the depth of the bay.

KLUCE STEPS UP TEMPO IN RUSH THROUGH GAP

SHAEF, France, Aug. 16.-- (AP)-Marshal Won Kluge pulled most of his armor from the dwindling. Normandy front, to- today's dispatches disclosed, step- ping up his tempo in the rush un- der the gauntlet of fire through his Falaise escape gap, which has narrowed to eight miles.
 A German communique declar- ed the Americans had struck eastward within 40 miles of Pa ris advancing 60 miles from the Alencon area to the Chartres- Dreux sector, where bitter fight ing is reported along the 20 miles ebetween those two ci'ies.
 There has been no news of such an eastward drive by Gen. Patton.s army, which seized Alen- con in it's advance up from Le- Mans into Argentan, forming the lower jaw of the pincers closing in on Falaise.
 A British staff officer, in the field. acknowledged that Von Kluge had extricated most of his armored force from the Nor mandy pocket, but hundreds of vehicles were darting eastward under heavy air and artillery bombardment.
 Resistance inside the pocket was crumbling into suicide stand as at the approach of the cleanup here, gave the allies a firm hold on the western half ot the Seine and Loire quadrangle, which extends inland to Paris.
 It is believed that there are yet 5O.OOO or more Germans in the trap 20 miles long and about eight . miles wide.
 An. explanation contained in a front-line dispatch about the fail ure of the allies to close the gap, was that the two armies had to exercise great care to avoid com ing under each others artillery fire.
 The situation in the ancient Breton north coast port of St. Malo is obscure, but the German Mommunique said Americans heio the city.

most notable portion of the concerto,
In many respects, is the Cadenza.
Coming in the midst of the vigorous
spirit of the finale, it is introduced
by slowing down of tempo and is
played with the orchestral accom-
paniment. The strings, some muted
and some only vibrated, give a novel
effect above which the violin scars.
The many unique touches in the
concerto served Mr.. Spalding to

Mr.. Spalding's playing of the

added lustre to the many melodic

technique had more than ordinary
