0'Conor Urges Intervention
In BULGARIAN Clergy Arrests
BY the A,seeIetsd Press

The State Department received
from Senator O'Conor. Democrat
Of Maryland. yesterday an "ur.
gent request" that it intervene ir
the case of Is Protestant leaders
arrested by the Communist gov
ernment of Bulgaria.
The Department on Friday de-
nounced the espionage accuse.
tions against them as fantastic
and charged that the Communist
leadership is making a concerted
assault on religious liberties al
over Eastern Europe. Senator
O'Conor took the same view.
Senator O'Conor requested Sec.
retary of State Acheson Cd tc
lodge a formal protest that the
Bulgarian action violates the
postwar treaty, (2) demand that
American representatives be per-
mitted to attend and report all
the proceedings, and 90 get from
the United States Minister In
Sofia detailed information fol
Congress.
Senator O'Conor said the
charges against the Is represen-
tatives of the United Evangelical
Churches, including Methodist
Baptist and Pentecost groups
were obviously trumped up" He
added that the Bulgarian cases
"are but further instances OF the
overall antireligious warfare now
being waged by Russian satellite
countries, under orders from the
Kremlin."

Federal Spending Rise
To Uphold Prosperity,
Bureau Report Says
BY the ksseeiotsd Press

Expected increases in Federal
spending should uphold prosper
ity this year, the Bureau Of Agri-
cultural Economics said yesterday.
The agency has a favorable
record of forecasting changes in
business conditions.
Its 1949 prediction was condi-
toned on congressional approval
of the higher expenditures pro-
posed by President Truman In
his budget message.
The bureau said economic ac-
tivity continues at a high level,
but there has been some easing
of from earlier records.
'The increase in Federal ex-
penditures expected this year
would be an important force In
the domestic economy" the bureau
said In a report on the economic
outlook for agriculture.
Further Price Rises Seen.
"It would be large enough to
Offset a moderate decline in pri-
vate spending and still maintain
overall activity close to present
levels" it added.
The bureau went on to say that
the growing defense program may
cause some further price rises in
some industries. such as metals.
It. added that foreign aid pro-
grams are likely to maintain an
important outlet for surplus farm
products.
"The growing rate of Govern
ment outlays represents the ma
Tor influence toward hating or
reversing the current downtrend
In prices" the bureau stated. q;
General Outlook. 1'E
This general food and farm pro-.
duce price and supply outlook was
given by the bureau:
Meat-Prices Of most meat and
meat animals in the next month
or two may rise moderately.
Dairy products-Storage de-
mand for the first half Of the
year, when much of the into-stor-
age movement usually occurs, is
expected to be considerably weaker
than last year.
Eggs-Production for first six
months of this year may be as
large as year ago with prices not
much different.
Feed grains-Seasonal price
kainS seen in spring.
Fruits-Prices expected to con-
tinue higher than year ago.
Wool-Strong domestic demand
and higher replacement cost OF
foreign wool have resulted in a
sharp reduction in stocks In the
United States.
Cotton-Domestic mill con-
sumption 50 far this season has
been almost 2 per cent below a
year earlier.
