By WILLIAM R. HIGGINBOTHAM United Press Staff Correspondent ~ LONDON, Aug. 23 —Bulgaria’s prospects for an early armistice with

‘the United States and Great Britain, faded today following Foreign Min-|

ister Parvan Dragangv's demand that she be permitted to retain territory stolen from Greece. Draganov told the Sobrane (parliament) yesterday that Bulgaria was “doing her utmost to make peace” with the western allies, but insisted she never would vield her ancient and “rightful” claim to ' Thrace. Allies Disappointed He had been expected by informed allied sources in London to announce a break in relations with Germany, but instead reneeated hie country's friendship for many and Japan. Allied observers, obviously disappeiuted, said the United States and Britain would demand from Bulgaria, as from all axis partners and satelites, unconbditional surrender Reports reaching Cairo Suggested that Draganov’s apparent about face

Four years of occupation will have changed Paris from the city of light and gaiety it was when the Germans came. Then it was a city hardly touched by war. True, German planes had bombed the city intermittently for nine months. But the objectives had been military and the damage and suffering could not be compared with Warsaw or London.

The “Dewey Dip” and the “Roosevelt Roger” will vie fof honors ina fast-stepping contest between Johnny Madison, famous Hollywood dancer, and Phil Osterhouse, -Grand Rapids, Mich.
