MORE SABOTAGE
REPORTED IN BULGARIA PEASANTS AND COMMUNISTS DRAWING TOGETHER. FALL OF GOVERNMENT NOT YET CONFIRMED. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day. 11.15 a.m.) LONDON, January 6. Closer ties between Bulgarian peasants and Communists, and increased partisan sabotage are reported from Bulgaria, says Reuter’s Ankara correspondent. There is still no confirmation of the news that the Governmetn was overthrown by'a coup d’etat. Yugoslav resistance under Marshal Tito, and the help it is receiving from the Allies, together with the results of the Teheran conference, have brought Communists closer to the Agrarian Party. Practical results arc that hitherto hostile peasants are mow supplying the Partisans, who are estimated to number between 3.000 amSfTjOOO. The activity of these Partisans last week included the holding up of the SofiaPlovdiv train on three nights in succession, and also an attack against a labour camp, resulting in the death of a few Bulgarian policemen.
