Reports On Bulgarian People And Problems

Editor’s note: For the first time in seven years. United Press has been allowed to send a correspondent into Communist Bulgaria. Here is his report on Bulgaria’s people, policies and problems. By ANTHONY CAVENDISH United Press Staff Correspondent SOFIA, Bulgaria (UP)—Bulgaria may be one of the Soviet Union's most solid Balkan satellites, but it has its own ideas on how to run things. While the Bulgarian authorities claim the U.S.S.R. as their guiding light, here and there a split is obvious. Take the issue of getting along with the West. Bulgaria has been waging an all-out battle to restore diplomatic relations with the United States, broken off in 1950. So far, the United States hasn't shown much interest. Hie Bulgarians would like to have Westerners spend their vacations—and money—with them and are starting to remodel resorts to Western tastes. Another move to encourage Western tourists is the exchange rate for the leva. Ordinarily, a leva is six to the American dollar. Tourists get nine to the dollar. Prices Are High After 13 years as a Soviet satellite. the Bulgarian standard of living still is not high when compared Ito Western nations, but it is

With the first game close at hand. November 1, Coach Cable and his boys have a tot of practice ahead of them; so work, work, work boys because that Geneva game is coming up soon. -A.C.H.S—... The industrial arts boys have set up a very unusual and interesting display of antique tools in front of the principal’s office. Sonie of the tools date back as far as 1764. One set of tools used to make wooden shoes, eomes all the way from Switzerland. People bringing in the tools are Sidney Schwartz, Enos Schmidt, Sylvian Schwartz, Sam Wickey, Joe Sprunger, and fifth grade teacher Leo Strahm. —A.C.H.S.— Central’s six senior twirlers and one junior twirler were entered in the annual NISBOVA twirling and bend contest at Fort Wayne, Saturday. Entered in third division were Janis Yoder, Arlene Zimmerman, Jeanne Smith and Shirley Osterman, who received a first place medal. Toni Rupert, Arivilla Smith, and Sharon Mattex were entered in fourth division. Sharon and Arvilla received first and second places, respectively. Because of illness Arlene, Jeanne and Toni were not able to appear. By. Shirley Osterman —A.C.H.S— Wednesday, October •, all the school reporters were honored with a dinner which was given by die Democrat. After the delicious dinner, a discussion was held on how to improve the columns. This writer was selected by the other reporters to give our heartiest thanks to the Democrat and to Mrs. Gwen Mies and Miss Pat Zimmerman, who acted as hostesses, for a very enjoyable evening. — ‘

9 improving. The average Bulgarian worker buys little but food and clothes and earns about 10,000 leva a year. In Sofia, almost all prices are high compared to the West. A loaf of white bread costs just under four leva, or 66 cents. A pair of Russian-made nylon stockings cost 60 leva, or $lO. A French-made auto sells for 35,000 leva, or $8,500. Even services are expensive. A taxicab ride to any place in the city costs about 10 leva and a good meal runs about 35. Housing is steadily improving. This year 7,000 apartment units are being built, about 5,500 bf therri by cooperatives. Under a cooperative, a person puts up about 10,000 leva cash and gets a 20-year loan for about 40,000 leva for the rest ol the apartment price. The interest rate runs about 2 per cent. Bulgaria also has changed its agricultural and industrial policies. It no longer plunges headlong into massive five-year plans in an effort to turn out as much machinery and factory products as possible. Press Is Controlled Its fields and orchards no longer are being leveled to create massive fields of wheat on the Russian order. The agrarian system is a strange mixture of communism and capitalism—with an 85 per

cent majority going to the Communlatt. The Bulgarian peasant fovaa his land and. as a result, he still owns most of it But the peasants who accepted the idea of communism and joined cooperatives were given the best land close to the villages. The others got what was left. The average Bulgarian has no ; foreign press to read and the ideas of the local and Soviet press are imprinted in his mind as the truth. One man, when asked about Hungary, admitted there was a revolution. I

“It had a good start but then the Fascists took advantage of It," be said. "If the Americans were so keen on helping the Hungarians why did they not send tanks and guns? It was because they were afraid of the Soviet Union.’’ Freedom to Worship This same Bulgarian, who is not a Communist Party member, said the Communists could not win a free election in his country. "But we are a little country.’’ he said. “We have to belong to one of the 'Moes—what else can we do?"

The Communist regime has not ■ tampered with the Bulgarian i church. Freedom to worship re- - mains the same as ever. I But still, although authority is ' relaxed at present, there is a his- • tory of terror that could be revived. Less than a year ago, about t 5,000 persons were summarily deI ported from Sofia to the provinces, i Another 5,000 were believed to t have been sent away last March. The “revolt’’ against the com- > plete acceptance of the Kremlin as the guiding light may not be as
