POWER BEHIND “PUTSCH”
BULGARIAN DICTATORSHIP POST IN CABINET DECLINED KING BORIS IN RETIREMENT HIS OFFER OF ABDICATION By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Rec. 7 p.m. London, May 23. “Bulgaria’s real dictator is not even a member of the new Government; he is Damien Veltcheff, a retired colonel who led the conspirators when they burst into the palace and demanded the establishment of a military dictatorship, says the Sofia correspondent of the News-Chronicle. “King Boris is reported to have offered to abdicate rather than submit, but the conspirators persuaded him to change his mind. “The conspirators are mostly officers who served under Colonel Veltcheff. He refused a post in the new Government, but he dominates it. King Boris has lived in virtual retirement since the Putsch. No news of any kind is given out from the palace.”
