Bulgaria Expected to Stand Fast on Recall Stand
Washington officials say Bulgaria will stand firm possibly on Moscow orders amid U S threats to sever relations. The United States demanded recall of U S Minister Donald Heath and warned it would withdraw its mission and send Bulgarian diplomats home unless Sofia drops the recall demand and shows it can observe international standards of conduct. The note implies the Soviet Union may welcome a clash to expel American officials. The move signals a tough U S posture toward communist satellites in Eastern Europe.
