|Byrnes Tells Bulgaria
|U.S. Does NotC Consider
Regime Democratic
Says Arrangements for
Election Are Not Free
From Intimidation
By the Associated Press.

Secretary of State Byrnes to-
day notified the Communist
dominated government of Bull
garia that the United States
does not regard it as adequately
representative of all democratic
elements in that country.
In blunt statement to the Sofia
administration Secretary Byrnes
also declared the Bulgarian gov
ernment evidently has not made ar
rangements for all the democratic
elements in Bulgaria to take part
in an election there on August 26
free from the fear of force and
intimidation"
He made it quite clear that while
the United States would like to
recognize a Bulgarian government,
1t does not intend to do so until
a more representative regime has
been set up in that Balkan nation
lin the Russian sphere of Eastern
Europe.
Peace Treaty in Balance.
In fact, the United States will
not conclude a peace treaty with
Bulgaria until that has come about
Mr.. Byrnes said.
Bulgaria at present is ruled by &
"Fatherland Front" regime, formed
in September, 1914, and under the
leadership of Prime Minister Kimon
Georgiev of the Union Zveno Party
since that time. According to Off
cial information here, the Father
land Front" nominally includes
representatives of Bulgaria's domi-

BY the Associated Press.

WEATHERFORD, Tex, Aug. 18.-
Bodies of IA airmen were recovered
early today after the crash of two
superbombers-a B-29 and a B-32
over this West Texas town last
night.
Two injured and bewildered sur
vivors, a flight officer and a crew.
man of the B-29, said they didn't
know what happened.
Suddenly they found themselves
hurled into the air, they said. They
opened their parachutes and f1oated
to safety while blazing parts of the
huge ships and flares plummeted
earthward and lighted up the skies
for 80 miles. Hundreds of persons
saw the crash.
1t was reported the B-29 was
based at Clovis, N. Mex. The sur
vivors said they had left Tucum-
carl. N. Mex, yesterday afternoon.
S. M. Mccarthy, jr., 17-year-old
ParKer County farm youth who was
standing in his front yard, saw the
bombers collide.
He said he saw the lights of the
two planes when they we're a mile
apart-flying high. The lights
moved closer. He yelled to his
father. There was a sudden black
out of the plane lights. Then there
was a ball of fire followed by the
noise of an explosion. Flares or
tapers of light shot out in all direc-
tions, the youth related.
Nine bodies were recovered from
the wreckage of the B-32, 2 miles
northwest of Weatherford. Earlier
five others had been found in the
broken B-29, 4 miles west of
| Weatherford.

Navy Yard, Districts
Largest Employer, 10
Cut Staff Gradually
No Reductions Ordered
Yet; Torpedo Station
Also Remains Open

While more than 1900 WASH
ington area workers were being
laid off because of Cancelled war
contracts, the Navy Yard-the
city's largest employer of war
workerS-announced today that
layoffs would be made gradually
so "a lot of jobless people won't
be dumped on Washington at the
same time"
Both the Navy Yard and the
Naval Torpedo Station at Alexan-
dria, which visualizes no layoffs at
this time, said their future staffs
would depend on how much work
the Navy gave them to do.
Both Navy plants expect to go
back on the 40-hour week soon.
The Navy Yard will begin the short
er work week September Is and
also will go back to one shift instead
Of three.
Employs 1916 Civilians.
With 1916 civilians now on its
payrOll, the navy YarQ expects nor
NAL attrition-workers leaving the
plant of their own volition-to take
up much of the slack. A number of
older employees, a yard spokesman
pointed out, were taken back in the
plant for the war and will now
return to the retired list.
Others are expected to leave be-
cause job controls have been lifted
and "a good many women" are ex-
pected to quit when their husbands
come back from the war.
The force of temporary workers,
the spokesman said, will be reduced
because I'VE can't keep them when
we have no work for them to do"
The reduction, however, is not ex-
pected to be large enough to put the

UNRRA Refuses
Nations Right
To Veto Relief
Policy Will Provide
Aid to Refugees Not
Wishing to Go Home
By the Associated Press.


LONDON, Aug. 18.-The United
Nations Relief and Rehabilita-
ton Administration today adopt
ed a resolution denying govern
ments the right to veto aid to
their nationals stranded in Eu-
rope.
Delegates to the conference voted,
% to 4. to back the action taken
earlier by the Policy Committee.
Voting against the resolution in
the committee were delegates Of
Soviet Russia, Yugoslavia, Poland
and Czechoslovakia. The measure
passed, "a to A.
The split was considered signii-
cant by the delegates. They pointed
out that the countries objecting to
the resolution, which would permit
UNRRA temporarily to help refu-
gees who refuse to return to their
homelands, are on the receiving
end of UNRRA relief.
Amendments Knocked Out.
Before adopting the resolution,
originally submitted by the British
and then redrafted in compromise
form by British, United States,
French and Norwegian delegates,
the committee knocked out by the
same 24-4 vote several Yugoslav
amendments which would have
cramped UNRRA's ability to aid
people who do not want to go home.
The conference accepted United
States amendment providing that
any imports into Germany needed
to care for displaced persons would
be paid for by occupying armies in
stead of UNRRA, with the cost
eventually to come from Germany.
Russians and Yugoslavs served no.
tice that they still were opposed to
the resolution and the Russian del
egate arose in the closed session to
say his country reserved its rights"
1t was. not Immediately clear what
he meant, but it was understood
both the Russians and Yugoslavs
intended to make statements on
their positions when the measure
comes up in public session.
Vote Considered Decisive.
All delegations were represented
in the committee and thus the vote
was considered decisive, but it still
must be approved by the delegates
sitting as council in an open meet
ing.
The controversy centered on the
political problems of the Poles.
Yugoslavs and Russians who may
choose to remain in exile rather
than return to their own countries.
Rudolf Bicanic, Yugoslav repre-
sentative, said his country reserved
the right to raise its proposed
amendments again when the ques-
ton comes to final vote in plenary
session.
He said he was sure his govern
ment would not be pleased about
the rejection of Yugoslavia pro-
posals which provided among other
things for keeping displaced persons
in camps, requiring them to sign
statements concerning their refusal
to 60 home and prohibiting them
from participating in political activ-
| ity against the home governments.
From our viewpoint" he said.
"the question hangs on a few hun
dred Yugoslavs in Italy. We don't
consider them a menace to Yugo-
slavia, but We remember the Ustachi
gang of terrorists and we don't want
the nucleus formed for another such
group"
The Belgrade radio said the Yugo-
slav government had decreed that
all Yugoslavs liberated from Ger
man prison camps who refused to
return to Yugoslavia would lose their
nationality.

Transferred Bureaus
Face Delay in Return
To Quarters in Capital
Yeor May Pass Before
Enough Space Is Found;
Some Not Coming Back
BY JOSEPH YOUNG.

Government agencies trans
ferred out of town during the
war face a delay of at least six
months to a year before they are
returned to Washington, it was
learned today.
Although the Government is eager
to return the agencies here as soon
as possible, lack of space for the
decentralized bureaus is causing
delay.
A high Government official said
that no definite schedule had been
set up, explaining that 1T would be
foolish to make specific plans until
We have the space to house them"
Increase in Size.
Decentralization of 80 bureaus,
agencies and parts of bureaus began
early in 1912. Offlcials point out
that one of the difficulties in return
ing the transferred groups is that
while personnel moved from WASH
ington totaled only 1900, the num-
ber of employees in these agencies
now stands at 47,500.
There is a possibility that some
decentralized bureaus will be housed
in temporary buildings now occupied
by war agencies. However, officials
believe that it will take several
months before some of the war
agencies are liquidated.
Plans also are being studied to
house some of the agencies in the
Pentagon, Navy Annex and the
Government buildings in Suitland,
Md. Here. too, the situation de-
pends on how quickly space can
be obtained from curtailed war
agencies. AS yet the War and Navy
Departments have not announced
dismissal plans for their war service
appointees.
Some Won't Return.
Some agencies won't return here
at all. Among those not expected
to come back are the Railroad Re-
tirement Board, now in Chicago,
and the Social Security Boards
claim Offices in New York City, New
Orleans, Philadelphia, Chicago and
San Francisco.
Government officials feel that the
Railroad Retirement Board, which
has 1900 employees, is better located
in Chicago, the railroad center of
the country, than it would be in
Washington. 1t is also felt that the
claim Offices of the Social Security
Board will better serve the regions
they are located in if they are
located within the area.
The only claim Office slated to
return is the one in Baltimore with
4,600 employees, the largest claim
Office of the six.
Another bureau not expected to
return is the Office of Dependency
Benefits in Newark, N. j. Officials
feel that it would entail much in
W llIOFC CiiC
records to Washington.
Some Already Back.
The Patent Office, now in Rich
mond, is the only transferred agency
that has returned some Of its en-
ployes to Washington. One hun
dred of its 900 workers are back
here. AS soon as additional space
is found in the Commerce Depart
ment Building, the others will re-
turn.
Here's list of the out-of town
agencies:
Agricultural Adjustment Admins

GUS regional Offices; Agricultural

ministration, various existing re-
gional offices; part of Agricultural

not vote. Of the 81, 81 were IN favor
of joining the compact and ii were
opposed. The 81, according TO a

Adherence to the compact, it was
stressed by those who favored join
