Petkov Sees Arrest as More
OfWhot Happened in Hungary
Foe Of Bulgaria S Reds
Expected to Be Seized !,
He Suys on Wuy to Cell
BY the Assoriosed Press

SOFIA, Bulgaria, June 7.Op-
position Leader Nikolai Dimitrov
Petkov, accused of plotting
against Bulgaria's Communist
led government. today saw his
arrest as nothing but a pro-
longation OF what already has
happened in Hungary"
Petrov, secretary of the opposition
Agrarian Party, who was jailed yes
terday, gave his interpretation to re-
porters on his way to his cell. He
said he had been expecting to be
arrested. Petrov, National As
sembly deputy, was taken into Gus
tody after the Assembly voted to
deprive him of parliamentary i'm
munity.
Vladimir Topencharov, govern
ment press bureau head, also likened
events here to those in Hungary. He
said Petrov acts had been similar
to those of the Hungarian conspira-
tors" and spoke of "a political link
between the Hungarian conspiracies
and the Bulgarian ones" adding
that this, link was mot reorganiza-
tional.'
(Alleged conspiracies to "over-
throw democracy" in Hungary
figured in recent political
changes which put the Com
munists in power in that country.
Ferenc Macy, Small Landholders
Party premier, had been charged
with taking part in such con-
spiracies. Under Communist
pressure, despite his party's legis-
lative majority, he went to Swift
zerland on vacation and, on May
20. resigned.)
Supporters of Petkov were invited
to join the fatherland front, domi-
nant in Bulgaria. in an appeal from
the fronts Central Committee issued
after his arrest. The Communists
are the biggest party in the front.
Topencharov told reporters proved
facts" showed that Petkov par
ticipated in the formation of con-
Spiracy organizations, was their
political leader and took an active
part in their political development" I"
He said Petkov did not limit his
activity" to "a legal political strug-
gle against the, government.
The opposition leader, the press
chief declared, acted in fulfillment
of suggestions of certain inter-
national interests" He did not
identify these circles.
Petkov, since Bulgaria's 1914
armistice with the Allies-of which
Evening star., 1947-06-07

he was signer-has been outspoken
in resistance to Communist bids for
power in that agricultural Black
Sea neighbor of Soviet Russia.
He was a member of the first
fatherland front government, but in
September, 1945, he quit, saying the
front had come under Communist
domination
In the election some two months
later. only one list of candidates
the fatherland front 's-was put be-
fore the voters and Petkov urged his
followers to boycott the balloting.
In the election of October 81,
1916, however, Petkov's opposition
agrarians voted. The government
said 95 per cent of the registered
voters cast ballots.
The fatherland front-the Com
munists and four other leftist par
ties-won 366 of the National As
sembly's 465 seats, 279 of which
went to the Communist Party. The
opposition-Petkov's agrarians and
the smaller Lulchev Socialists
won 80.
/ George Dimitrov, international
Communist leader who once won
acquittal in the Nazi Reichstag- fire
trial, was chosen premier. Petkov
said the election showed that
there wasn't any fatherland front
coalition but the Communist party
and that the opposition is really
strong"
Before the election, the United
States, Britain, Russia and Bull
garia traded diplomatic notes in
regard to the campaign. These
notes turned on the question of
whether or not the election was be-
ing conducted freely in accordance
with guarantees given oy the Big
Three at sYalta.

and the station nearly demolished.
A tornado also hit a rural area
near Chester, Okla, demolishing a
farmhouse, while several houses
were damaged in two summer re-
sorts near Excelsior Springs, Mo, by
a tw.ster.
The rapidly-rising Des Moines
River forced several thousand resi-

than 1000 in Ottumwa, which was

The Des Moines River reached a

More than $500 residents in other

decision.
On the final Senate vote, 81 Re-
publicans and II Southern Demo-
Gratis lined up for the bill. Two
Republicans - Senators Morse of
Oregon and LANCER of North Da-
kota-joined Is Democrats in voting
against it.
The bill goes far beyond the labor
legislation program recommended
by Mr.. Truman in his state of the
Union message to Congress last
January.
Bitterly Opposed by Unions.
1t is bitterly opposed by labor
union leaders, but described by its
sponsors as an incentive to produc-
tion and a balancing wheel for
labor management relations.
Just before the final vote, Demo-
cratic Leader Barkley told the Sen
ate that, while he could not support
the bill, Il am not speaking for the
President" He added:
Il don't know what his attitude
will be. I do know he will have the
bill carefully analyzed and then act
as his conscience dictates, regard
less of the consequences. political
or otherwise, to him"
As soon as the Senate voted, Will
liam Green. president of the AFL,
issued statement saying that the
Senate action places the decision
in the Presidents hands as to
whether industrial democracy shall

added:

political freedom of the Balkans and

political freedom of the Balkans and
accuses Russia of interference in
the internal affairs of Hungary.
This more or less says to the Rus
slams that If the conditions alleged
are untrue then they should be of
flcially investigated and disproved.
To reinforce its demand for an
investigation the United States
backs up its position with the state
ment of three conditions under
which 1t is determined to carry the
whole case to an appropriate agency
of the United Nations-either the
Security Council or the General AS
sembly. as
Conditions Outlined.
The conditions are:
l. If the Soviets reject the in
vestigation demand outright.
Q. If they agree to the investiga-
ton but seek by stalling and other
means to prevent its being carried
out.
3. If they go through with the
investigation and the facts show
that the Soviet Union did share
responsibility for the Hungarian
coup.
This leaves only one further pos
sible avenue Of settlement for the
incident readily apparent. That
would be for the Russians to show
that the coup was pulled off with
out direction from them and as a
purely local activity of the Hun
garian Communists.
If that were the case the charge
of internal interference by the
Soviet Union would fall fat and
there would be presumably no
proper ground to take the case
before the United Nations.
The United States thus far has
steered away from any drastic ac-
ton with respect to the Hungarian
government itself, except for the
suspension of SIS, 100000 of surplus
war materials credits and a $7,000,-
600 cotton purchase loan.
There is every evidence around
the State Department that the
United States will continue diplo-
matte relations with Budapest.
1t is expected that Minister Selden
Chaplin will leave for his new post
there on schedule later this month
and that when new Hungarian
Minister is appointed to Washington
he will be accepted by this Govern
ment.

Macy said today the Hungari-

Macy told reporters he had
quit the premiership under
pressure from Budapest but had
handed in his resignation only
when his young son was deliv-
cred safely in Switzerland. The
Hungarian legation in Bern
had announced the resignation
earlier.
Denying that he had con-

cent of whom have no control over
the prices they can charge"
Five Points Raised.
In his 700-word statement, SEN
ator Taft listed five points to illus
trate what he termed the Presi-
dents inconsistencies:
81. The President was the one who
vetoed the first OPA bill 0ast year,
and then abandoned OPA control
after Congress gave him full power
to regulate most prices, including
the price of all manufactured goods.
80. The President encouraged a
pattern of general wage increases
all over the United States on the
theory that they could be granted
In all fields without price increases,
theory which even his strongest
supporters Immediately found to be
unsound.
"3. The President has fought every
effort of the Congress to reduce
Government expenses. and taxes.
Taxes increase costs and increased
costs inevitably mean higher prices.
Case Bill Veto Cited.
4. BY vetoing the Case bill (last
years labor measured, and other
wise, he has resisted the effort to
curb the power of the labor union
leaders. which meant higher wages
for a very limited group of powerful
unions, but increased costs for
everybody else.
IS. Huge dollar funds have been
made available through the Inter-
national Bank. the International
Monetary Fund. the British loan
and many special loans, far beyond
the proof of specific needs which I
have always voted to meet.
This has, of course, forced I'm
