Bulgarian Facile At 'Bullin'- U. S. Personnel

By Menno Duerksen United Press Staff Correspondent FRANKFURT, Germany, (UP) A modern Bulgarian Beau Brummel who used his hypnotic personality to woo his way into the confidence of American officers up to the rank of general, and into the arms of Wac officers at this United States Army headquarters, has been- exposed after an investigation which led army investigators all oyer Europe. The United Press obtained the story from three different sources. They included the culprit himself, who sits in jail here awaiting deportation to Bulgaria, and from army officials who confirmed most of Peter Guverzdcheliev's story and did not deny the rest of it. Unofficially, part of the story is still being suppressed to protect the very red faces

officers, both male and female. "Just call me Pete," the Eng lish-speaking masquerader invited his American friends during his year long impersonator career. That career included everything from dramatic jail breaks and sleight-of-hand (cult) removals to flights with American officers to the capitals of Europe and being guest of honor at an American general's party on the Riviera. Despite the fact that investigators once credited him with being a high priority Russian spy, the little 24-year-old glamor boy today stands legally acquitted of everything except masquerading in American and Russian uni forms, obtaining food and lodging under false pretenses and leading certain American officers

Captured By Germans No one knows exactly when this Alice-in-Wonderland fanasy first began; but army investigator reports reveal that the 3ulgarian flight lieutenant, born n Kneka, Bulgaria, deserted to Marshal Tito's Yugoslav partisans n 1943, where he was captured by the Germans. . American army forces liberated him from a German camp near Leipzig at the war's end and placed him in a displaced person's camp at Kassel. It was there that he first planned his flights of grandeur and acquired his first American uniform,

wearing a first lieutenant's bars on his helmet liner and officer's shirt, together with several out-of-uniform " German insignia pieces.

traveling in the best society the military had to offer. x It was during this stage in his career that he made his first acquaintance with Wac officers. Peter delighted in telling army investigators and this reporter stories of bedroom intimacies

with Wac officers and a few frauleins on the side. Army officials admit Wac officers were involved. When arrested, Peter had a whole album of signed pic tures of women. It was also during this period that Peter first attracted the at tention of suspicious army officials and was arrested. The arrest gave him an opportunity to demonstrate his ability to slip off the handcuffs and to break out of jail.

Muzzle Loaders Still Used In Pennsylvania

SHARTLESVILLE, Pa. (UP) Muzzle-loading rifles, popular when " the United States was young, still resound today in the Blue Ridge foothills of Berks County in Pennsylvania. The old-fashioned, long-barreled weapons are used regularly in matches staged by the nine-year-old Blue Mountain Muzzle Loading Rifle Association, which counts upwards of 100 members from Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Use of micrometer sights is the only concession to modernity permitted the shooters, who rest the cumbersome rifles, weighing from 15 to 35 pounds, with barrels approximately 40 inches long, on specially-built benches during match action. Time and science combined to dim the popularity of the muzzlefed rifle. Shartlesville, for generations a hot-bed of old-time hooters, now boasts the only range for the powder-primed B EST WISH E'S xx fc Our earnest hope as we fate . the coming new year is that 4 may continue our pleasant relationship with our many patrons and that they, as well as a& the folks in our community, enjoy the holiday and the days to follow in peace, contentment and good health.

A pre-Thanksgiv-ing turkey shoot went to Mrs. Mary Wengert, of Bernville, Pa. Two muzzle-loading rifle types, flintlock and percussion-lock, are fired at Blue Mountain. Both are loaded from the muzzle with

black powder and a round lead ball inside a finely-woven cloth patch. The powder, specially manufactured, is sold at gun shops; the lead balls must be molded by the individual shooter to fit the caliber of his rifle's barrel.

of the two types, dates back to 1635, and the percussion to 1807. Introduced to the United States early in the 18th century by the Germans and. Swiss who settled Central Pennsylvania, the flintlock was the chosen weapon of frontiersmen. The percussion m-i perseded it as the nation's top rifle approximately 20 years before the Civil War. The flintlock is fired by a flint fixed in the cock or hammer which, on striking the battery or pan cover ignites the priming powder and communites its fire to the charge through the touchhole. The percussion is set off by priming with fulminating powder that is exploded by concussion. Of all muzzle-loaded firearms, the "Kentucky Rifle," first made by gunsmiths near Lancaster, Pa., is the best known. It has a 44-inch barrel and weighs from seven to 12 pounds. Match rifles are heavier and scale as much as 35 pounds.
