SOFIA, Feb. 24.-Bulgarian and
Rumanian diplomats, their countries
bitter enemies since 1918. threw
tophats into the air and cheered a
new-found friendship last night in
an unprecedented scene at the Sofia
railway station,
The demonstration was touched
off when Rumanian Finance Min
lister Militia Constantinescu, de-
parting after a two-day conference
here, shouted: Long live Bulgaria."
Diplomatic observers said that
during his visit Constantinescu gave
the impression his government might
be willing to end the long-standing
dispute with Bulgaria by returning
part of her war-lost Dobruja ter
ritory, provided it would not incite
Hungary and Russia to move to get
back their former territories now
held by Rumania.
