Bulgaria Scraps the Crown

w -
BY virtually unanimous vote. the
Bulgarian people have decided in a
referendum, held especially for the
purpose, to transform their country
from a monarchy to republic. The
result was foregone conclusion, not
only because the Communist-domi-
mated regime which controls Bull
garia wanted it that way but also
because there is virtually no mon
archical sentiment even among those
elements which oppose the present
government on other grounds.
Unlike Greece. where royalism is
a living force. or Yugoslavia, where
the native dynasty is a national
symbol among the Serb element, the
crown never acquired a deep emo
tional hold on the Bulgarian people.
To begin with, Bulgarian national
life was much more completely
smashed by the Turkish conquest of
the fourteenth century than was the
case with either the Greeks or the
Serbs. When the Bulgarians were
freed from the Turks by Czarist
Russia less than seventy years ago,
they were an oppressed and back
ward peasant mass, over whom were
placed foreign rulers, as a result of
agreements arrived at between the
European great powers.
The first of these rulers, Alexander
of Battenberg, was ousted in a few
years, largely as the result of Rus
sian intrigue. Another German
prince, placed on the throne in 1887,
founded the dynasty which has Just
been elected by popular acclaim. Its
record has, on the whole, been a
sorry one. The founder. Ferdinand
of Saxe-Coburg, a machiavellian
parsonage with vaulting ambitions,
made two capital mistakes which
cost his country dear and eventually
cost him his throne. First, after
having led the coalition of Christian
Balkan states in the triumphant war
against Turkey in 1912, Ferdinand
quarreled with his allies over the
division of the spoils. tried to grab
his share by force, and vas soundly
beaten by them, thereby forfeiting
the headship of the Balkan Slavs to
Serbia. To avenge that defeat, he
joined the Central Powers in World
War I. only to find himself on the
losing side, with himself forced into
exile and Bulgaria reduced to a
minor factor beside a Serbia now
expanded into Yugoslavia. His son
and successor, Boris III, repeated the
blunder by joining the Axis in World
War II, and died under mysterious
circumstances shortly before its
close, leaving the throne to his son,
the child Simeon, even now only
nine years of age.
Meanwhile, Bulgaria had fallen
under the complete control of Soviet
Russia, which has established a
hand picked regime of It's own, all
opposition being ruthlessly re-
pressed. Belief is widespread among
informed observers of Balkan affairs
that the scrapping of the crown in
Bulgaria, closely following similar

SEGREGATION Deplored


To the Editor OF The Star:
President Trumans pronouncement
against racial prejudice and discrimi-
nation is great on the surface, but I
will never believe he is sincere unless
he begins to set an example for us plain
everyday Americans to follow.
Does the President expect the butcher,
the banker and the department stores
to let down the racial bars as long as
The Law of the land upholds and
even promotes segregation of the armed
forces? Has Mr.. Truman condemned
our Mississippi Representatives and
Senators who now are in Office because
several millions Of citizens are denied
the right to vote? BY press and by
special radio broadcasts Mr.. Truman
could plead for the abolition of segre-

Urges Winding Own Business

TO the Editor Of the Star:
1t seems to me that we continually
are cropping down the wrong road to
peace. With the news headlines knock
ing Russia and every commentator
grinding out hatred of communism,
we certainly are not striving for the
peace that the world so sorely needs
from now on. What If Russia;s way of
government isn't. in our estimation,
near so good as our old democratic
form of government, it doesn't help our
cause to spend our time abusing their
system, which might so much more
profitably be spent quietly minding our
own business.

Spinsters Letter Commended

Spinster's Letter Commended
To the Editor Of The Star:
/ was interested to read the letter by
Spinster telling Of the babies that have
been smothered to death by taking the
advice of some doctors, who don't know
as much about the care Of babies as
mothers do.
Before me are five notices cut from
The Star, telling of babies smothered
to death by being placed on their
stomachs in their cribs.
I should think all mothers should
know better than to take such advice,
If their doctors don't know better than
to give It! H. B. BRADFORD.

Praises Only One Try
To the Editor of The Star:

10 the Editor OF The Star:
I cannot commend too highly YOUR
course in visual instruction regarding
District of Columbia Traffic Laws now
currently appearing in your splendid
paper under the heading "OnIy One
Try"
The combination of "eye-appeal" and
quiz" generally is recognized as the best
and quickest method of teaching, and
the lessons thus learned are not so
readily forgotten as they so often are
following hasty reading of the regu-
lations, when the same are available, in
the uninteresting and closely printed
official form.
hope you will continue this series
until all OF the important regulations
have been covered, and then make same
available in pamphlet form for general
distribution to the public.
I believe that you or one Of your
"live-wire" advertisers will see adver-
tising value in such pamphlet, and at
the same time recognize an opportunity
for the rendering Of a genuine public
service. DAVID WIENER

TRAP PLAN
DRAWS OPPOSITION
Bureau Manager Be.
lieves They Would Hurt
Tourist Business

Commenting on a suggestion
from Raleigh sources, that speed
traps be used to curb traffic acc1-
dents, Earl j. Petro, executive
manager of the North Carolina
Travel council, who was in Will
mlngton yesterday, voiced his op-
position to the proposal.
Personally, / feel that it would
be a detriment to any community
to permit the Resumption of speed
traps, as it was once a black eye
on the whole state of North Caro-
lima.
Il am afraid that speed traps
would hurt the tourist travel in
North Carolina.
The situation created by the in
crease in traffic accidents in This
state, however, will be presented
Tor discussion by the directors of
the North Carolina Travel council
at the next called session of the
board" Petro said.

Federal Agencies Map
Employment Plans
For Disabled Workers

Two Government agencies foe
ussed their efforts today on train
ing and employment of disabled vet
Grams and other handicapped
workers.
The Veterans Administration an
nounced program to help veterans
who have had trouble getting and
holding jobs because of hearing de-
fects, and the United States En-
ployment Service said disabled vet
Grams and all other handicapped joo
seekers will be helped by an ex-
panded selective placement service.
The USES program, according to
Director Robert C. Goodwin, will be
launched at conference of USES
officials in Chicago. One provision
of the new program gives preferen-
tial attention to disabled veterans
both in available jobs and in re-
ferral to jobs where the supply IS
| limited.
Offices Get Specialists.
Mr. Goodwin said that at least
one selective placement specialist
will be assigned to each of the
l,700 local USES Offices to develop
job opportunities for handicapped
workers and to match disabled per-
sons to jobs they can perform.
The technique provides for no
approach to the employers SYM
pathy,' Mr.. Goodwin explained
"On the job to be performed the
disabled person will possess the
qualifications to compete with the
able-bodied worker. The veteran
who lost leg in combat or the
industrial worker who lost an eye
in an accident at his machine
will not be placed in job requiring
the exercise of those handicaps.
There are many jobs, however, where
such handicaps will not be factor
in competitive labor
The Nationwide VA project will
help the hard of hearing from the
time they leave the service, or VA
! hospital, through their vocational or
educational training and until the
time they are successfully placed in
jobs, a VA spokesman said
i Will Furnish instruction.
.. Courses of instruction on lip read
ing, speech and voice correction will
be furnished at training institutions
i. whenever possible, it was said. and
:, in some cases private instruction
will be contracted.
, VAS vocational rehabilitation and
, education division will assist veter-
ans in choosing jobs in training
!, establishments on the same basis as
other veterans with service-incurred
disabilities. When possible, the men
will be placed in small groups where
they can have individual instruction
II the veterans loss of hearing is
, so severe he needs special attention
before he can choose a job field and
begin training, he will be given med
: icai treatment that will not count
,, against his training period, it was
said.
