NOMINATIONS REJECTED
BULGARIAN OPPOSITION DEADLOCK BETWEEN PARTIES LONDON, Jan. 6. A deadlock exists among Bulgarian political parties over fulfilment of 'the Moscow Conference recommendations for broadening the basis of government, says Reuter’s Sofia correspondent. Formal talks between the Government of the Fatherland Front and the Opposition parties, which were expected to begin last Friday, did not materialise. The Bulgarian Government rejected the Opposition’s original nominations, and addressed a demand to the Opposition wings of the Agrarian and Social Democratic parties, requiring them each to'appoint three member delegations to begin discussions with the Government. The secretary of the Agrarian Party, Nikola Petkov, stated that the Opposition would refuse 1o enter the Government unless, first, the Ministry of the Interior was taken from Communist hands; secondly, new free elections were held with Separate party lists to provide the necessary party representation to reduce the Communist representation to its “ rightful proportions.”
