Russia Silent

Moscow, Sept. -AP- Soviet
Russia remained silent today on
the Bulgarian governments plea
for an armistice while apparently
restraining the Red Army from an
invasion.
Bulgaria has broken off rela-
lions with Germany In last-min-
ute effort to AVOID invasion by the
Russian troops.
Dispatches from Ankara said Bull
garia also had declared war against
the Reich, but these lacked con-
firmation in Sofia and Berlin
broadcasts. Such declaration
would make the Bulgars technical
ly at war with both Germany and
the Allies, in the midst of arms
tice negotiations with the latter.
The collapse of Hitler's Bal
kan house was complete except
for Hungary.
The foreign commissariat, re-
leasing the texts of diplomatic ex-
changes between Moscow and Sofia
since spring, declared these ex-
changes proved "the desire OF the
Bulgarian ruling circles to col
laborate in the Hitlerite war
against the Russian people"

Shoe Industry
to Need Help

shoe manufacturers, foreseeing

unemployment opportunities to at
least $4,000 workers, many drawn
from tapering-off war industries.
That means $4,000 or more new

currently producing for heavy mil
itary and civilian needs.
Fortunately for our industry,
II faces no reconversion problems

secretary Of the New England shoe

forecasting the employment rise.
Furthermore, he said. new proc
esses and new materials are simpli-

ing relatively few jobs now that re-
quire years of training and hand
work.
At the same time, Field fore
cast that shoe manufacture would
reach a new high in quality, say
ing:
Leaders in the industry look
forward with confidence to a post
war world where American-made
shoes will surpass in style, COM
fort and wear any footwear ever
produced before, both in this
country and abroad.
Because OF the large standing
army we'll have when Germany Is
knocked out OF the war, and con-
tinued navy needs for several years
thereafter, the industry does not
expect very sharp cutbacks imme-
diately after peace is declared in
