Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Rumania and Austria Arrest Scores of Communists
Vienna, Feb. 5.—(AP)—Southeastern European nations lashed out simultaneously against Communism Wednesday with a series of raids, carried out amid warnings of a "new Red menace."
Hungary, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Rumania and Austria all swung into the movement within the last 24 hours, while public sentiment was aroused against an increase of Soviet Russian influence in the Danubian valley.
Hungarian police crushed an alleged Communist organization which they charged was conceived by Bela Kun, Hungarian Communist, whose leadership of the 1919 Hungarian regime was accompanied, Budapest police said, by the execution of more than 1,000 persons.
Bulgarian authorities were credited with the arrest of 50 persons in a series of raids, and the courts there started trial of 14 gypsies, accused of disseminating Communism among children.
The influential Vienna newspaper, Neueste Nachrichten, asserted Russia was moving westward into Europe persistently, and charged the Soviet nation was making its greatest progress through Czechoslovakia.
