have pleaded Ruilly to charges
of spying for the United States.;
No one was hurt in the dem
onstration, which lasted an hour
and 15 minutes, he said. 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.

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.

missioner of labor statistics,
said that the index was 1.3 per

this was "reasonable prico sta

It was understood that Eu

ister to Sofia, was on vacation
in Washington when the dem
onstration began.
Tlie former Bulgarian diplo
mat, kan-Assen (icorgiev,
faced a possible death penalty
for allegedly selling Bulgarian
secrets to the United Slates for

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

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

risen by about 2 ier cent.

Douglas Fir Production
Slightly Ahead Of '62
PORTLAND i UPI Douglas
fir sawmills in Western Oregon
and Washington produced 8.15
billion board feet of lumber this
year, the West Coast Lumber
men's Association iWCLAi said
today.
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.

British Sources Demand
Inquiry Into Ship Tragedy
LONDON (UPI i The British
press and Labor party opposi
tion demanded a government
inquiry today into t h e fire
which burned the Greek cruise
liner Lakonia at sea and took
as many as 155 lives.
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. The line said there were
537 passengers and 349 crew
members aboard.
