SOFIA, Bulgaria, Mar. T.
Michael Shipkov. former Bulga-
rian translator in the American
Legation here, confessed yester-
day to a peoples court that he
had spied for America under the
personal direction of former
United States Minister Donald r
Heath.
(The trial opened only two
days after the State Depart
ment had released a dramatic
affidavit. signed earlier by Mr..
Shipkov, revealing how Bull
garian police had extorted a
false confession from him by
ruthlessly breaking down his
will. He had requested that the
affidavit be made public in Or
der to clear his name in the
event of a trial, which he evi-
IDENTIFY felt was inevitable.)
Mr.. Shipkov and four other Bull
garians pleaded guilty and con.
f1rmed the written confessions OF
spying they had made to investi-
eating police before the trial. A
co-defendant with Shipkov was
Kivka Rindova,- former telephone
operator at the United States
Legation. Also on the dock were
Stefan Kratukov, Incila Tzanoy
and Vassil Nalchev.
Mr.. Shipkov told the court that
Mr.. Heath-Minister in Bulgaria
until the United States broke re-
lations with that country and
closed its Legation in Sofia last
month-had inspired in me the
conception that the present Com
munist-led Bulgarian) regime is

He said Mr.. Heath had under

actively interested in the return
of Western Democracy to Bull
garia."

Continued Korean Aid
Urged by Acheson,
Citing Effect on Asia
By J. A. O'Leoy

Secretary of State Acheson
asked Congress today to continue
economic aid to the new republic
of South Korea for another year,
predicting that what we do in
Korea will have very great effect
on what happens in Southeast
Asia"
He testified with Economic Co.
operation Administrator Paul
Hoffman before the Senate For
eign Relations Committee, which
is considering 500 million for
the second year of a three-year
program to save Korea from Com
munist domination. For the first
year, ending in June, Congress
gave Korea 1920 million.
Secretary Acheson told the
Senators the State Department is
not yet ready to submit a de-
tailed program for helping the
general area Of Southeast Asia,
which is still free from Commu-
mist control.
Repeats Truman Statement.
He testified. however, that:
Korea is one place in which the
United States can continue to
take well-defined positive steps to
help a free democratic country to
survive in the face of efforts OF
communism to engult it. Hun
dreds of millions of people of
Southern and Southeastern Asia
and the islands of the Pacific are
now in a period where they must
choose between the roads toward
democracy or totantarianism."
He repeated a statement by
President Truman last year that
the progress made by Korea will
help the people of Southeastern
Asia to reject Communist propa-
ganda.
Asked by Chairman Connally,
Democrat, of Texas If he thought
the aid given Korea would lead
the other areas in Southeastern
Asia to expect the same kind OF
help, Mr.. Acheson said he did not
think so.
Questioned on China Aid.
AS the committee resumed for
eign aid hearings today, there
were indications that develop
| ments in England since the recent
elections there will ease the path
of the $2,95o,000,00o Marshall
Plan bill for the coming year.
Senators handling the subject
believe opposition to the bill will
be reduced by the expectation that
the British Labor government will
not press forward IN Matchmaking
British industries, but will strive
to work out currency exchange
problems with other Marshall
Plan countries.
Questioned by Senator Smith
Republican, of New Jersey about
further aid to the Chinese Ma
tionalists on Formosa, Mr.. Ache
son indicated he is willing to have
Congress continue for another
year the discretionary power the
President now has to give eco
nomic aid to "non-Communist
China and that general area"

Taft Charges Report
Provides for Federal
Steel Price Fixing
BY the Associotsd Press

Senator Taft, Republican, of
Ohio led a fight today against an
administration move he said was
pointed toward Government price
fixing for steel.
He told a reporter he and other
Republican members are ready to
fight issuance of a report OF the
Senate-House Economic Commit
tee which the Ohio Senator said
"smears the steel industry"
Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat,
OF Wyoming called the committee
together today to pass on the re-
port. He denied fatty there is
anything in it that even suggests
price controls for steel.
On the other hand, Senator
Taft said two provisions in the
report "call for committee studies
that certainly point toward price
fixing"
Hearings Suggested.
One of these provisions would
recommend that before any steel
price boost is put into effect, the
steel companies should file a
schedule of proposed price in
creases with appropriate Govern
nent agencies.
The report then would call for
prompt public hearings. 1t also
would urge that the increases be
held up for 80 days while such
hearings were held.
Linked with this was said to be
a recommendation for a congress
sional study of the question of
whether the steel industry should
be considered as public utility.
"All of this certainly points to-
ward price controls" Senator Taft
said. IF the steel industry were
considered public utility, it
would be subject to Government
regulation and, presumably, its
prices would be fixed"
wrong interpretation"
Senator O'Mahoney told a re-
porter that Senator Taft placed
the wrong Interpretation on the
proposed committee report.
There is not the slightest thing
in that report that indicates there
is any move for the institution of
Government price controls" he
declared.
The Wyoming Senator said the
committee majority was proposing
that public hearings be held be-
fore general price increases are
put into effect as method of
protecting the public interest.
I'VE held hearings on the last
price increase, but the increase
was already in effect" he said. 80
