' - ' i Bagrianoy Cabinet Falls , AftefiPeace Attempt Fails By The Associated ' Press LONDON,. Sept. .1 The Bul garian 'government of Ivan Bag rlanov fell today shortly after its failure to win an easy way .out of the war by. pleading neutral' lty and amid indications of far reaching' intrrrml'developments within the Balkan- kingdom. : ' i Simultaneously it . was dis closed that tho European advis ory commission- had' drafted armistice terms for Bulgaria a demonstration of Brltish-Ameri-can-Russiah solidarity lh the terms which the Balkan satellite must meet to getiout Of the con flict. Russian armies Were push ing along the country's northern frontier, ready to send tank col umns coursing across her north ern plains. - , Armistice Rumored At the same time rumors spread throughout Europe that Hungary was trying to contact the allies on armistice terms. With Romania already out of the Hitler lineup and negotiating in Moscow for terms on which she might join the allies as a co belligerent, Hitler's southeastern front thus appeared to be falling apart in three countries. Bagrianov read a proclamation in which he said non-Bulgarian (German) trooDs in the kingdom were ordered disarmed in keep ing with his government's policy of. trying to avoid war with. Rus sia, the Berlin radio reported. The proclamation also said the government had ordered the withdrawal of Bulgar occupation troops in Greece and Yugoslavia, a process started several days ago. The Bagrianov government will remain in office until, a new cabinet is formed. Berlin Denies Rumor Berlin immediately launched a enmnalim of denials to contra dict the rumors tnat Hungary Determined Effort Underway to Provide Larger Quarters for Commando Center By MALCOLM EPLEY A determined effort-is being made to provide expanded quart ers for the Klamath Commando service center, which has carried on a major part of the local hos pitality program for service men for more than two years here. When the Commandos recently gave up their effort to get a $90,000 center, thus bowing to opposing opinion on the matter, they asked that.no time be lost in executing an alternate plan. With additional military person nel coming into this area, and with, colder weather due in a few weeks, the need for larger facilities ls increasingly pressing. Only two possibilities have presented themselves: (1)- Re model the present center quart ers by expansion into the base ment, and (2). Obtain the use of the present, quarters of the war price and rationing board In the Wifllts building, near, Fifth and Main streets. v , . . Better Quarter . The 'latter rooms arc much larger than the . present Com mando center, and ; include a basement which will lend itself more suitably, to service center uso than, that under the old quarters. It has bcett agreed by all who have exariiined it that a flno service center development Is possible in the Fifth and Main location. V ' :', -. , ., i. Involved In such a plan Is the necessity of a move of the war price and rationing board, and agreement to that must come finally through the district of fice of price . administration - of fices in Portland. Percy Murray; chairman of the local board, stated that a move, naturally, would not be welcome news to the local board and staff, but said he would cooperate in every possible way in view of : the worthiness of the cause. ' A telephone call was then made to L. J., Bronaugh, board operations executor, at the OPA district office in- Portland, arid he also expressed Immediate $1000 Check Given to Fund , ' i- Th first $1000 check has been received by the Klamath community fund campaign. : It came in today from the Lamm Lumber company, and started what the drive com mittee hopes will prove to be a doien or so $1000 contribu tion!, i .

' - Look for Locations - .This week, representatives of the military service committee and the chamber of commerce have been looking over possible locations for -the ration board. Because merchants in the Fifth and Main street area were ac tive, in getting the board offices located . there, and contributed financially for. equipment in the m-e'sent quarters, an attempt is being made to find quarters in that neighborhood. ;, .- One- suggested location is the second floor , quarters over the emporium,, ai rum ana iviaiu, where the Eagles lodge was for merly located.
