U.S. Embassy Stoned VIENNA (UPl'-Hundreds of Bulgarians hurled stoma and lumps of coal at the United States Legation building in So fia today, breaking every win dow on the first three floors. The demonstrators numbering more than 500, also overturned four American automobiles out side the legation before they were dispersed. They carried banners and signs calling for "death to the imperialist trai tors," which were led on the overturned automobiles when the demonstration broke up. News of the violence came from the U.S. consul In .Sofia In a telephone Interview w ith newsmen in Vienna. ; The mob action coincided with the trial of a Bulgarian diplomat who was reported by Export License Issued For Sale Of $40 Million In Wheat To Soviet WASHINGTON (UPI! - The long-stalled deal to sell surplus American wheat to the Soviet Union appeared today to be teetering on the brink. The Commerce Department Thursday issued export licenses for flic sale of $40.6 million uiorth of (U.S. vhc.it to Itussia iii what may be the first break in the lengthy negotiations. Jack N. Bchrman, assistant secretary of commerce for do mestic and international busi ness, said, however, the export licenses were issued to private traders who thought they could arrange .sales and wanted as surances the licenses would be available if needed.

Lega tion officials in Sofia had re quested police protection. The Bulgarians apparently were demonstrating against al leged U.S. involvement in the case of a former high ranking Bulgarian diplomat being tried in Sofia on charges he spied against his own country for the United States. The trial went into Its second day today. A U.S. consul said nobody tried to enter the building, lie said that many windows were smashed. however. in cluding one display window containing photographs on life porters would have to comply with government requirements on shipping half the wheat in U.S. flag ships. Negotiations for tlie sale of VS. wheat to Russia have been in the hands of private U.S. grain firms since shortly after the government laid down ground rules for the deals last October. for a time, the negotiations were carried on in Washington with a Soviet trade mission. Several weeks ago. the Soviet officials went home. Soviet spokesmen announced they still were open to offers, however, and representatives of several U.S. firms are known to have visited Moscow recently. The biggest single roadblock to completing the sales price has been linked to the U.S. gov ernment's insistence that half of any wheat sold to lltussia or her satellites be carried on increase this month because of higher costs (for food, housing and services. Increased prices for fresh vegetables and sugar pushed up tlie cost of groceries, and hous ing costs advanced across the board except for nas and elec tricity rates, which hold steady. 1 Arnold ICliasc, assistant com missioner of labor statistics, said that the index was 1.3 per cent up for the year, life said this was "reasonable prico sta bility" although the 1963 rise may be one of I lie largest since 1938's increase of .1.7 per cent.

Keared I'riee High To qualify as available, gov ernment officials explained that U.S. ships would have to be ready to carry the wheat at rates not exceeding government-set "guidelines." Even so. It appeared that the total freight rate "package" boosted the U.S. selling price beyond what the Russians were willing to pay. Administration officials earli er had estimated that sales to the Soviets could reach about 4 million tons, eating away a heavy share of the wheat sur plus piled up in government hands in this country under the farm price support program. .

Prices of new homes, rents, coal and fuel oil, soaps and detergents, property taxes and other housing costs all went up last , month. Kresli vegetable prices soared 7.B per cent, principally be cause of sharp rises for let tuce and tomatoes. Sugar pri ces climbed 6.7 per cent last month. Chase said the drought in recent months contributed to the rise of vegetable prices. 'Fruit prices were down for November, along with meats and eggs, but food costs were up 1 per cent over last year. New car prices rose less than expected as dealers offered big concessions to keep sales going at record volumes. Used cars cost more and insiu-ance com panies raised their premiums for automobile liability cover age. .Many ncwspaHTs increased (heir prices and so did doctors, dentists and optometrists, tlie report said. In a separate announcement, the department said take-home pay of factory workers also climbed to a record high in November. The average earn ings for a worker with throe dependents rose by 46 cents to $38.77 a week, mainly because of a two cent increase in aver age hourly jiay. The over-the-ycar gam was alxnit $2 50. Bming power of tlie factory worker's pay also hit a new lieak, but rose less than lake home pay because of the in crease in consumer prices. Over the year, the buying power has risen by about 2 ier cent.

UPI Telephoto Fair Play For Cuba Group Dying Slow And Quiet Death NEW YORK (UPO-The pro Castro Fair Play for Cuba Com mittee (FPFC) quietly is seek ing to go out of business, it was learned today. In its stormy 27 months of existence, the committee fi nanced originally by the Castro Cuban delegation to the United Nations has engaged in street brawls, been investigated by Congress, and more recently, lied in by implication with the slaying of President John Y. Kennedy. Suspected presidential assas sin, Lee H. Oswald, a self-confessed Marxist, identified him self to authorities on his cap ture as a chapter chairman of FPFC in New Orleans and Dal las.

This was up slightly from the 19H2 output 'and did not include two billion feet of Douglas fir production in Northern Califor nia. G. C. Edgett, executive vice president of the MVCLA, said the fir production in Oregon and Washington was worth $603 mil lion to the two states. Edgett said the output should remain fairly constant during 1964, with a moderate improve ment to Ikeep pace with an ex pected increase in new single family dwellings. Orders of 8.2 billion board feet in .1963, Edgett said, were off fractionally from the 8.26 billion board feet for 1962. Edgett cited several accom plishment the industry made in 1983.

The demands came because the ship sailed from Southamp ton and most of tlie passengers were Britons on a Christmas cruise into African waters. Some have charged that the Lakonia crew panicked and misbehaved. The captain of the Lakonia and other passengers praised the crew. Capt. Mateos Zarbis, Greek skipper of the Lakonia, reached Madrid from the Canary Is lands today on his way back home to Athens and told news men that more lives might have been saved if rescue ships had gone closer to his burning liner 180 miles from the island of Ma deira. A revised set of figures is sued by the Greek Line, which operated the Lakonia. said 88B persons out of a total of 1,041 survived the tragedy, with 91 known dead and 64 still miss ing.

Edgett warned the next big freight hat. tic WCLA faces is a freight rate reduction being considered for the southern pine resinn WCLA is seeking an offsetting reduction for western shippers Edgett also pointed to die successful effort to get legisla tion enacted which exempts lumber destined for foreign mar kets from filing rate schedules in advance. The new law allows U.S. shippers to negotiate lor shipping rates on each shipment, the same as Canadian competi! tors. Tlie favorable action of Cnn. gress on the bill requirin; marking of lumber as to coim. try of origin would help West Coast mills compete with Cana dian mills in UjS. markets. Ed gett said. He said a campaign of nation al promotion of West Coast species by SCLA has been pro jected for 1964. Walker, the Labor party's spokesman on foreign affairs, presented Prime Minister Sir Alec Douglas-Home with a de mand for a British inquiry into the tragedy. "Whatever (he technical reg istration of the ship, the pas sengers were almost wholly British and the cruise was or ganized by agents in Britain," Gordon-Walker said.
