Nikola Petkov, Agrarian minister without port-
folio in the govt. saw Lt. Vucinich of Gen. Crane's
staff this morning and revealed to him the folliwing
info:
"This morning Min Petkov asked me to inform you
and Min Barnes that the Russians had sent the
Bulgarians a draft of a statement which they wanted
to receive from the Bulgarians. The draft contained
a statement to the effect that 'it is strange that
Min Barnes should give asylum to GM Dimitrov and
insinuated that it was not quite the thing to do.
The Russians want the Bulgarians to ask the ACC to
return Dmitrov to the Bulgarians which is said to be
in conformity with intenatl law. Georgiev, Petkov
and Stainov refused to send the Russians such a
statement
