Bulgaria Frames
Consular Official
On S|>v Charge
WASHINGTON Ml—Bulgaria's
ouster of an American consular
official on spy charges was writ
ten off in the state department
records yesterday as another
frame-up.
The Sofia radio announced the
Soviet satellite’s action over the
week-end. It said that Donald F.
Ewing, United States vice consul
there, had been arrested in July
while “getting important written
espionage information from two
Bulgarians.”
The state department had an en- ]
tirely different version. It tabbed
the Bulgarian move a “transpar
ently fabricated maneuver.” This
is the official American account:
“The Bulgarian secret police ar
rested the two Bulgarians in Mr.
Ewing’s company and on the ba
sis of a document of wrich the
contents are unknown, ‘allegedly
‘found’ in the pockets of one of
them, and of elleged subsequent
‘confessions’ on their part to the
effect that they had been engaging
in ‘espionage’ for the United

calmed down today after one big
belch of sulphurous smoke.
Arturo Alcatraz, weather bur
eau expert observing the volcano
on the small island of Camiguin in
the Mindanao Sea, reported the
major eruption seemed to have
passed. While some red Hot boul
ders still are being tossed out, the
outbursts are minor compared to
those of the past six days, he said.
Hibokhibok, which means “great
internal disturbance" began erupt
ing Sept. 1 after 77 years of inac
tivity. About 35,000 of Camigtiin’s
population had been removed to
nearby Mindanao and other is
lands.
Two villages have been en- ;
gulfed by lava flow, five others |
threatened. At least five Filipinos
were buried alive.

States through Ewing, the Bulgar
ian government declared Ewing
persona non grata and requested
his recall.”
The department said the Ameri
can minister, Donald R. Heath,
protested to the Bulgarian govern
ment, but under the rules of diplo
macy had no course but to order
Ewing to leave Bulgaria.
