The Bulgarian Republic
(New York Times

Another dynasty disappeared from the tangled European scene when the Bulgarian people in a plebiscite busted their nineyear old king and whole monarchia system and voted for the establishment Of republic Having been conducted under the super vision of Georgi Dimrov, former secretary general of the Comintern inventor of the Trojan horse policy of Communist fronts and now boss of Bulgaria, the plebiscte produced greater majority for the republic than necessary credible but there is no doubt that there would have been majority for it in any
 For the -Coburg and Gotha family, whose scions ruled Bulgaria for fiftynine years displayed few other than it's ability to marry into almost all the royal families of Europe and thus acquire friends and influence where royal patronage counted For Bulgaria has been an unmitigaed disaster Its one achievement that in the tug-of-war between Russia and Austria Hungary for the control of the Balkans, King Ferdinand, the present kings grand father proclaimed Bulgara's formal independence of Turkish rule in 1908 and then nsgated the Balkan Alliance for war against Turkey in 1912 After that, angered by Russias favoritism to Serbia in the dis tributon of conquered territories, Bulgaria orented itself toward Austria-H Hungary and Germany and par ticipaed in both World Wars Gerniany's side This mScacuaton cost Ferdinand his throne after the first World War though the dynasty survived. Now re- petition of the mistake has swept the dynasty aside well.
 It would be pleasant to believe that the estab- lshment of a republic will be accompanied by an extension of liberty and democracy Like Yugosava, Bulgaria has a good foundation in her independent peasants, and both Marshal Tito and Dimitrov are compelled to pay at least lip service to these values. But Tito has shown how harsh a dictatorship can hide itself behind democratic facade and the present rules of Bulgaria have been trained in the same Moscow school. Nevertheless under the Yata agree ment the United States has assumed certain re- responsibilities for seeing to it that the principles of the Atlantic Charter put into effect throughout lib erated Europe, including the former Axis satellites, and it still has members in the Allied Control Councils these regions Thus far these responsibilities nave been largely disregarded and the American members of the control councils in contrast to the Russian performance in Japan have appeared like deaf-and- mute seconds of Russian rule The time would seem to have for a change in that policy as well,

Nuts. Coco, That Is
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enquirer
 If the days seems generally dolorouS there's always something to be glad about. Had you heard that the supply of coconutS is improving?
 It's the truth, so help us Imports have increased 50 per cent between 1941 and 1945 and the Middle American republics being cultivated a com mercally important of the versatile coconut. The fruit companies which specialize in trade with Central and South America have been instrumental in developing coconut production in seven of the republics of Central America with others expected to follow later
 Already coconuts taking rank with old stand bys like bananas coffee and sugar important inn ports from neighbors to the south And coconuts not valuable only for the decoration and tastiness they lend to cakes and pies and cookies. In addition the milk is a nutritious drink and the pressed meat yields valuable oil for cooking fats lubricants soaps, explosives and medicines The coconut fiber leaves and wood used in the making of furniture.
 Then too they valued by monkeys ammuni- tion. But that, we suppose, hardly represents n commercial value.

 Memorial to Vets
 To Be Considered

Naugatuck, May 8-The date for meeting of the freemen in June to consider the proposal for construc- ton of a memorial auditorium for Naugatuck is expected to be set next Monday night by the Board of War den and Burgesses.
 The proposal, submitted at the freemen's meeting Monday night immediately after the freemen had approved the additional appropria- tions to the Borough Budget, was read by Comdr. Harold c. Lewis, Crusader Post, V. F. w., who moved that "the freemen of the Borough of Naugatuck hereby authorize the issuance of public building bonds in the amount of $200, ,000, as prescribed by the 1945 session of the General Assembly for community center building as a memorial to the vet erans of World War II who went forth from said borough"
 The subject had been opened by Comdr. Martin Lucas, Gold Star Post, c. w. V., who claimed veterans in the borough wished living memorial" to be "of benefit to them at the present, in the future and to their children"
 The petition was signed by 29 vet erans.

War One. They remember having paid 37 cents a pound for sugar. 30 cents a pound for butter; 95 cents a dozen for eggs. Others are daugh- ters and nieces of those same wo- men who have heard about the high cost of living in the early twenties and want no part of it for their families.
 The fact that the Grocery Manu- lecturers of America, Inc, have placed the weight of this influence on their side must be heartening to many homemakers. Two things stand out clearly. The American public favors the extension of price control. Congress probably will ex- tend the law in some form.
 Membership Surveyed
 Recently, the Grocery Manufac- turers of America surveyed its mem- bership to ascertain attitudes con- corning extension of OPA. 75 per cent of those replying favored ex- tension. To be sure, the majority qualified their vote by offering spe- cific recommendations of changes in the Act as well as in the admins tration of it.
 This is not surprising when one recalls that the original OPA Act was hurriedly put together as a means of dealing with war econ- omy. During the war, efforts were concentrated on winning the war in the shortest possible time. To- day industry faces the job of pro- viding employment, the production of goods and generally working to- ward restoration of normal peace time economy.
 American homemakers and groc- cry manufacturers agree that some price controls, however, must re- main in effect until certain supplies are better balanced with demand. Demand for wheat, wheat products, sugar, fats and oils are at an all- time high as these life-giving prod ucts go to hungry people in other parts of the world.
 Although these same products go AAAOO OAlC AlohAAA6 OA AOA6 AAAC VA manufactured food products, these manufactured products, too, are bound to become more scarce as weeks go by.
 Despite these things, spokesmen for the grocery manufacturers, in common with the American public, advance the belief that OPA should be extended, while pointing out the need for reviewing and revising the original OPA order to better serve the public interest in a new peace time economy.

IVA Strike Postponed.

Chicago, May 8. (UP)-A strike against Transcontinental and Western Air, Inc, was "temporar- fly stayed" today, pending an emer- gency meeting here of the VIVA Pilots Master Executive Council. No date has been set for the meet ing.
 The strike was postponed shortly before the midnight deadline last night after President Truman established a fact finding board to investigate the Airline Pilots Asso- citation (A.FL) wage dispute with 13 leading air lines.
 The President acted under 1886 amendment to the Railway Labor Act, extending the law to the na- tion's air lines. Appointment of an emergency board requires an auto- matic 30-day postponement of a walkout while an investigation and report of the dispute are made.
 The strike was called in support of demands for salary increases of as much as $2,750 a year, reduced working hours and other improve ments in working conditions. A maximum increase from $13,200 to $16,OO0 was sought for pilots flying TWAS new big four-engined air craft

Suspected of being involved in lhe q. 1900 theft of money and jew- clry from the home of Harry Cohen of 112 Cooke Street, Frank Kora- koslE, z7. of 37 Vine Street was free today after detectives said question ing of the man and another suspect revealed that Korakoski was inno- cent of any connection with the theft. Korakoski was granted dis charge this morning on recommen- dation of Prosecutor Stephen Ho- mick.

Mitrulavi- cius, known also as Mitchell, told police last night that Korakoski was innocent. Mitrulavicius, who ad- ulttted his part in the theft said he met the other man once in a North End restaurant and gave the name to police when they questioned him. Korakosh was picked up and steadfastly denied any guilt. Police said, however, Mitrulavi- eius was not alone when he broke into the Cohen home and home next door last Saturday. They said he has proffered information as to who was with him at the time, but police are proceeding with caution as they believe the accused youth to be lying second time.
