from riotous mobs.
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.

Johnson Plans Consultations
JOHNSON CITY. 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

installations that could be re

the next several years."
Earlier he announced closing

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.

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.

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

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
