SOFIA, March 25 — 4A1’) ~—1“or a mostly agricultural, industrially ‘backward little country, Bulgaria has a lot of "state secrets."

It also has a lot of frightened people who know that the Com- munist-led government can throw them in jail and even hang them for giving out such information as the mlmhel- of beds in a hospital or the figures of the country's fish ‘catch.

The» Communist press hammers away at the idea. that "Anglo-Am- erican imperialist walmongers" are vitally interested in such things as Bulgaria's production of nuts and bolts.

Western representatives in So- fia say this is part of a systematic campaign to promote hostility toward the wcsl.
