 Clash in Streets

SOFIA, Oct. 26-The most riot ous demonstration Bulgaria has ex- perienced in year flared for more than an hour last night when sup porters of the Fatherland Front and opposition followers clashed in front of the Hotel Bulgaria, resi- dence of Mark Ethridge, who is touring the Balkans on special U. s. State Department mission.
 Rival efforts to demonstrate to Ethridge that public support was behind their own political groups brought on the fighting. Unmoved, Ethridge reaffirmed his hope to arrive at the approximate truth" by personal investigation.
 Ethridge, a Louisville, Ky, pub fisher, was dining with Sofia journalists when the crowd began gathering. He declined to show himself at a hotel window. Soon members of the opposing factions outside began attempting to shout each other down Rioting followed.
 The throng had originally gath cred to attend a memorial service for Grigor Chesmehmdjiev, Bull garian patriot whose funeral last Sept. 18 was the occasion for the first meeting Of the political op- position in Bulgaria since the war.
 During a speech by Kosta Loul- chev, Secretary of the Social Demo- cratic Party. there were cries of down with the opposition" Long live the Fatherland Front" and Long Live Ethridge."

The W Washinqton Merry Co., Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON--A lot has been printed about labor strikes, but not much about the silent sit-down strike of certain employers. This is a strike chiefly against the OPA and the Treasury. Ultimately of course. it is also strike against the public.
 Many corporations are operating with small staffs determined to wait out" the OPA and not oper- ate until reduced taxes are put in force. That is one reason why it may be months before you can buy your new radio, your new automo- bile or your new washing machine. The makers of these commodities, realizing that they cannot hope to sell more than one machine per customer in less than about four year period, want to sell at their own terms, and at the highest pos sible profit. That's why they're waiting for OPA ceilings to be re- moved. That's also why they want to wait until excess profits are voted down.
 If they don't sell goods between now and Jan. l. they keep their 1945 profit levels as low as pos sible, and if the l945 profit does not exceed the average profit for the 1936- 1889 period, they win receive large tax refunds from the govern ment
 That's why practically no radios for the American public are being produced at RCA's Camden, N J., plant. or at the General Electric
