Nazis Control
Raid Precaution
LONDON, Aug. 31 VP) Adolf
Hitler has ordered the nazi party
to take control of the nation's
air raid precaution services.
This move announced by the
German radio today means that
air raid wardens henceforth will
take orders from gauleiters and
trusted local group leaders of
the party. Apparently many non
party personnel had been crack'
me under the strain.
In a companion decree in Dr.
Goebbels total mobilization

at war.
The maneuver of the Bul
garian government will not fool
anybody and the allies are tak
ing this into full account, a
Moscow broadcast said.
Thus, as a Romanian delega
tion reached Moscow to formal
ize that country's armistice and
red army hordes drove more
deeply into Romania and
Transylvania, the stage was set
for collapse of Hitler's Balkan
ramparts.
Armistice Near .
An Ankara dispatch said Ro
manian signature of an armis
tice in the Russian capital ap
peared likely within 48 hours.
Romanian troops already are
fighting beside the Russians.
Ankara reports said the Ger
mans bombed Bucharest, caus
ing heavy damage in residen
tial districts. These same re
ports said General Cestenberg,
head of the German air mission
in Romania, was taken prison

There have been reports the
