There was no re port of injury to any American personnel. Richard Davis, acting assist ant secretary of stale for Euro pean affairs, railed on Lyuho mir Popov, Bulgaria's minister to the United Slates, to protest the attack.

Most of the windows in the six-story building were shatter ed Friday by a throng of 3.000 Bulgarians protesting the alleg ed American spy activities of a high-ranking diplomat. A spokesman for the legation told UPI by telephone from Sofia that the guard was as signed after U.S. Charge d Af (aires Richard Johnson lodged "a strong protest" with the Bul garian foreign ministry over the violent demonstration. The mob threw stones and chunks, of ice through windows of the legation building and ov erturned four legation cars. Shouting "down with U.S. im perialists," the demonstrators were protesting the espionage activities of Ivan-Assen Khris tov Georgiev, 56-ycar-old for mer counselor of the Bulgarian mission to the United Nations. His treason trial cntcrcd its third day Saturday. Has Pleaded Guilty Georgiev, who has pleaded guilty, is accused of acting as a spy for the U.S. Central In telligence Agency (CIA from 1956 until his arrest in Septem ber. The government claims Georgiev received $200,000 for his espionage work and that he spent most of the money to maintain mistresses in several European capitals. "We were given assurances that further demonstrations would be stopped and sufficient protection provided to insure the safely of the legation," the U.S. spokesman said Thursday. Johnson delivered the protest to Bulgarian Minister G. Man gelov under orders from the Slate Department in Washing ton. It contained a demand for compensation for the damage to the legation and the American automobiles. The six-story building is two blocks away from the supreme court where Georgiev is being tried. Interested In Private Lives In testimony Saturday, accord ing to the Bulgarian Telegraph Agency (BTA), Georgiev said U.S. intelligence agents display "extraordinary interest" in the private lives of Bulgarian diplo matic personnel. He said Amer ican agents needed such infor mation to blackmail diplomats into becoming spies. Georgiev said "ideological confusion played an essential part in my becoming a spy." lie said he had "a rightwing .deviation" from the Marxist-l-cninst position on the status of classes in socialist countries. One of Georgiev's alleged mis testified that she witnessed se cret meetings between the dip lomat and CIA agents. She said she made three trips from Bul garia to New York lo visit Georgiev in 1!7 and 1958, using a forged passport and airline tickets purchased by the CIA. She told the court she met sev eral U.S. intelligence agents, and Identified one as Mary Grayne, a Bulgarian - speaking American. BTA said Miss Karabasheva was threatened by a CIA agent named Anderson that she might face prosecution on her return to Bulgaria. According to her testimony, Anderson proposed that she go to France whore he promised to get her a job. She refused, and returned to Sofia.

Tex. l'PD President Johnson Saturday strengthened his drive for fed eral economy especially in mil itary spending and indicated he wants a close consultive rela tionship with former President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Johnson said Friday he had directed Central Intelligence Agency Director John A. Mc C'one to set up a meeting with Eisenhower and discuss the Johnson administration's econ omy drive. The Eisenhower-McCone meet ing also would review intelli gence in world affairs for the Republican and explain the ad ministration's actions on sua estions Eisenhower has made since Nov. 22. The President announced he had set up a board of top de fense officials to survey military installations that could be re duced in cost or closed "over the next several years." Earlier he announced closing or reduction of 33 defense in Similar Disaster In 1934 Changed Boat Construction WASHINGTON 'UPI' The fiery death of the Greek cruise liner Lakonia in the Atlantic 11)0 miles north of Madeira re called today a similar disaster 20 years ago that led to revo lutionary changes jn the con struction of U. S. passenger shops. On Sept. 8, 1934, the liner Morro' Castle, steaming from Havana to New York, caught fire and ran aground off Asbury Park. N. J. The official toll was 114 dead and 10 missing. The Morro Castle tragedy prompted a Senate invesligation which led to far - reaching changes in the construction of American passenger liners. Adopts Fire Protection Coast Guard Cmdr. Robert Price said Saturday it was at that time that the United States adopted the best possible pro tection against fire aboard ship fire - resistant construction throughout. As an example, he quoted a claim by the interior designer of the liner SS United Slates who said there were only two items made of wood aboard the luxury ship the butcher's block and the grand piano.

In his sixth on-the-record news conference, Johnson also announced: He will meet Mexican Pres klent Adolfo Lopez Mateos at Los Ancelcs and Palm Springs, Calif.. Feb. 21-22. ' President May Curtail More Unneeded Bases WASHINGTON (L'PI'-Presi-dent Johnson, apparently confi dent he has public support for cutting unneeded military bases, wants the Defense De partment to look for even more installations to eliminate. Johnson announced Friday he had asked Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara to ap point a board for more inten sive study of the need for 6,700 bases that now exist. agreed on three permissible methods of fire protection. One was the United States method of building with non combustible materials. The Brit ish method of using a sprinkler system was also adopted. The third system used by the French consisted of an automatic fire detection system coupled with fire retarding bulkheads. There are indications that other countries are starting to agree with the U. S. method. The French built their new lux ury liner, the France, under the American plan.' Price said the Coast Guard did not have much information on the Lakonia a Greek line ship but said it was built before the agreements. The Coast Guard follows the construction of a ship from the blueprint stage to the test run. "A great deal of attention is paid to details," Price said. "We rate each compartment as to hazard, the size of the room, and the amount of combustible matter." How well has the American shipbuilding program worked? Apparently perfectly. There has not been a major ship fire on an American vessel since Sept. 1934. 17-23 raaMB 21 8. m k.v t xtt i -r j -Teodoro Moscoso had lieen relieved of duties coordinating the Alliance tor Progress.

He added that reaction to the department's announcement two weeks ago that it was closing or curtailing 33 military bases was running 5-to-l .in favor of the cutbacks. Thomas D. Morris, assistant defense secretary for installa tions and logistics, was appoint ed by Johnson to study ways of trimming military installa tions. He has been working in the field under orders Irom Mc Namara since 1901. A special committee also was set up to study the efficiency of 11 naval shipyards. It is known that the Defense Depart ment plans to close foifr of the shipyards, but it is expected that the Pentagon will take its time deciding which ones. The announcement on the closing may not come for an other 12 months which would be after the presidential elec tions. Since Ihe Morris studies be gan more thar 400 military fa cilities have been closed or cur tailed. But there slill are about as many as there were in tht first place 6,700. The reason that the figures do not show a net reduction is that there have been new mis sile, radar and other facilities opened. Also, as McNamara has explained, it is difficult to define just what comprises de fense facilities and to keep a precise count. Rusk Sees 1964 As Year Of Exploring For Peace WASHINGTON lUPH - Sec retary of State Dean Rusk pre dicted in an interview released Saturday that "1964 will be a pe riod of probing for the possibil ities of peace" between East and West. "My impression is that there is a certain soberness in the at titude of Ihe principal govern ments of the world; that there is a recognization that crises such as the missile crisis in Cu ba in October 1952 must be avoided if possible," Rusk said. He declared that one of the "more interesting aspects" of the recent NATO meeting in Paris "was the feeling that we ought to continue In explore possibilites of further agree ment with the Soviet Union." Rusk's remarks were made in the course of a lengthy in terview with a Japanese broad caster for release in that coun try today. The interview was recoided last Tuesday. The secretary warned that 'Berlin, Germany, Cuba. South Viet iNam were "still explosive points that have lo be dealt with and managed." He said, however, that be thought there was "a general feeling on the part of the peoples of Ihe world lhat somehow a way to peace must be found and this is reflecting itself in the care f OPEN ALL NIGHT NEW YEAR'S EVE!

And they have teeth. This was reported Saturday by a spokesman for the float entered jointly by Icoa Life In surance Co., and the Portland . i Ore. i Rose Festival. He said all problems had been solved and that clearance had been ob tained for using Ihe lions wilh the tournament executive com mittee, the Humane Society and several other groups. The 65-foot long float will have aboard not only the lions (Hol lywood types leased locally! but also 32 persons and seven stat ues. There also will be three gladiator duels in progress near the tethered but uncaged cats. The spokesman added that one problem was solved earlier when float sponsors agreed to get $500,000 liability insurance. with which governments are ex ploring these possibilities." Rusk said this caused him to "enter 1964 'with restrained op timism, with a modest opti mism." The danger of war in the world at present. Rusk said; stems from the Communist con tention that the world "must be transformed by revolution into a Communist world. This is the underlying issue, and it is not going to lie easy to make that issue disappear." The secretary said the Unit- .' ed States was continuing to dis cuss a number of questions with the Soviet Union, including dis armament and trade problems, but it would take "some time and some patience" to make any progress. a Shop Monday & Tuesday STOREWIDE SALE Ends Tuesday Night LUCAS FURNITURE Ph. 2-2765 MB -;DIJ Wtn Owtf hm TtCHNICOlOM r
