Oct. 31 (UP) Klug Boris 111. whose bravery has been proved in war ami in the face of assassins, was acclaimed a hero today after he saved the life of the engineer of a burning railway express and took the i throttle to get the train in on ' time. Since hoyhiMM) Boris has been fond of railroading. He has worked many shifts as engineer, fireman and mechanic in railway yards. Often he has taken the throttle of regular trains whose passengers have had no idea he was aboard. laist night he was on the fast Varna express, making the 240 mile run from Sofia to Varna, on the Black Sea coast, where he has a palace. The Varna express is the train he likes best to run. Boris was in his royal car when the train halted between Recarevo and Strazica station, half way to Varnt. It was not a scheduled stop and Boris left his car to go to the head of the train. He found Fames shooting up from the sides of the tender, the result of an overheated oil feed which set fire to the axle boxes. The king leaped through the

flames to the locomotive, to find tho engineer fighting the fire, his clothing just igniting. Boris pulled the engineer from the flames and. seeing it was useless to try ' to put out the fire in the axle boxes at the station, told the • to drive to the nearest ' bridee over a stream There he • and the engineer put out the fire. Finding tha t the engineer’s hand was burned. Boris dressed it ' and took the express on to Varna Apparently at Boris' order, the ' censor suppressed the entire story. Upon representations from the United Press corresnondent and Zora, the largest Sofia newspaper, that the incident ought to he published, the news was released. i 1 o OFFER PLAN TO PEACEFUL END OF LABOR WAR '(SnKT’VI'FV r-r>z>v €>»r!F -NW' I the plan would be acceptable to I the unions, if. for no other reason, that it assures the A 4 P. rehiring its 2.200 employes, discharged when it closed all its 300 stores, and continuing in business there.
