...also heard an important unofficial suggestion this week: to restore the freedom and independence of Yugoslavia, Poland, Bulgaria, Hungary and Rumania. It came from members of the International Peasant Union, including former Hungarian Premier Ferenc Nagy, Bulgarian Opposition Leader Georgi M. Dimitroff, Croatian Peasant Leader Vladimir Macek...
...harried Theodore Atanasoff, Bulgarian trade representative, it seemed like a good idea at the time. His trade mission had been sent to Germany last July to buy automobiles, spare parts, shoemaking machines, airplane tires and numerous other articles difficult to acquire in Bulgaria. Not having any dollars for these purposes, but having access to a considerable quantity of fairly good Bulgarian-made cigarets, Atanasoff and his associates decided to bypass the import-export authorities, and deal "directly" on a "practical" basis.

Youth Railway. A proclamation explained that the marchers were members of the Greek labor brigade Yanis Zavgos, which "had come from Yugoslavia to help Bulgarian youth build a new Bulgaria into a bulwark against international imperialism." Ostensibly they were going to work on the new Youth Railway now under construction in the Struma Valley, which leads down to Salonika. But the Government reception for the brigadiers, which was attended by members of the Bulgarian Cabinet, was equivalent to unofficial recognition of the Markos regime...
