2. BULGARIAN REGIME REPORTED HIGHLY CONCERNED
OVER PEASANT UNREST
25X1A
The Bulgarian cabinet and the party cen-
tral committee have met recently to con-
sider emergency measures to deal with
Bulgarian peasants who are forcibly re-
sisting intensified government "terrorist tactics" aimed at
accelerating collectivization, 'according to the Greek lega-
tion in Sofia. Two central committee members were dis-
patched to supervise operations in troubled areas. The Greek
legation reported that peasants were fighting police and mile
itia in northeastern Bulgarian
Comment These steps by the government and the
confirmed large-scale deportations of
"unreliable elements" from Sofia in March indicate the Bul-
garian leaders are taking strong action to keep unrest from
becoming a serious problemo
Although there has been no previous in-
dication that the regime is pressing the collectivization drive
so strongly as to cause major unrest, many of the peasants
among the 20 percent who have so far escaped collectiviza-
tion are probably more rebellious than those already in col-
lectives. They may, therefore, be offering strong resistance
to the government's efforts to make Bulgaria the first -Satel-
lite with fully socialized agriculture.

4o SITUATION IN INDONESIA
Sukarno is continuing his consultations
with various political figures in an effort to form a workable
"emergency cabinet." He apparently is still determined to
have leftist representation in the cabinet; there are reports
that he has included in the talks more Nationalists, Commu-
nists, and Communist sympathizers than other party repre-
sentatives. He doubtless expects that Moslem opposition to
Communist participation in the cabinet could erupt into vio-
lence.
General Nasution, the army chief of staff,
reportedly gives every indication of supporting Sukarno, Al-
though Nasution does not have the personal support of all the
territorial commanders9 whose reactions will determine the
success or failure of Sukarno's plans, none of these disaffected
commanders is reported willing to make a personal denuncia-
tion of Sukarno.
