A German. broadcast said the action was necessary because ‘‘irresponsible, hostile agitators and the increased activity of agents had led recently to sabotage acts and other disturbances.” The worsening of German-Danish relations dated back to the Danes’ refusal to turn over captured saboteurs to the Germans for execution, Under court-martial law, saboteurs could be executed.

known. She and a corps of guardians named by the cabinet will be in direct charge of the king but under. the Bulgarian constitution this group cannot be part of the regency. Boris, who died only a few days after a visit to see Adolf Hitler, was reported to have been bringing back demands from the Nazi fuehrer to go all-out in backing Germany, even to letting the gestapo take care of alleged communist unrest. How Filov will meet the situation was not indicated.
Hitler Sends Sympathy
There were widespread reports that Boris was the victim of an assassin’s bullet. Axis ‘and. Bulgarian - dispatches broadcast. by European radios said he died of heart disease complicated by pneumonia. The fact he had heart trouble was a surprise inasmuch as he was known as a great sportsman who loved to do such things as drive locomotives at breakneck speed. Hitler sent messages of sympathy to the queen and to Filov, mourning Boris as a “true friend and ally,” and radio Rome said the body was lying in state at the court chapel. A Cairo dispatch quoted a “leading Balkan expert” as saying Boris, who was 49, did not die a natural death and that a story he was shot by a Bulgar policeman was very likely correct. Exiled ‘Balkan leaders in Cairo believed the event would result in the Germans tightening their control in Bulgaria. DNB, in a Berlin broadcast, said all the army was required to take an oath to the new king. A court mourning of one year was ordered. * Boris had escaped two attempts on his life since becoming king after his father abdicated in 1918.

col. Samuel Kaplan, Camp Atterbury, occupant of 556, called and said someone was screaming in room 729. First inquiries at the switchboard | cree were that he had received a call from a woman outside the hotel, informing. him that there was a disturbance there.
Denies Phone Call
Military authroities said that Kaplan denied that he had gotten such a call and that it was later learned that there had been a call about a disturbance in his room in which, he was found with a 25-year-old local woman. She claimed that she was invited into the room by Kaplan as she walked through the hall. The military ordered Kaplan to return to camp and he checked out of the hotel. They said he would be questioned today .at Atterbury. Both the military and civilian po= lice. want to know whether Cpl. Kaplan knew Cpl. Ridings. They also seek further description of the woman in black and to determine whether she knew the victim and if jealousy possibly could have been a motive in the crime. All details which the military sees fit to release during the progress of the investigation will come through Lt. Wesley Jones, public relations. officer at Atterbury.
Just Promoted
Cpl. Riddings ‘was the daughter of Mrs. Maie Little of Warm Springs, originally named Bullockville, for one of her ancestors. She was a divorcee, Lt. Jones said, and her former husband is reported to be serving with the army overseas. Prior to her enlistment three weeks after Pearl Harbor, at Arlington, Va., she was an auditor for the Federal Housing Authority, She received her basic fraining at Daytona Beach and was transferred to

interior of the North American continent and Alaska. Most of it is only 18 feet wide. Most of it is muddy, dusty, soft and moist. It is far from an all-weather route, ‘It still is under construction.
