The manager of a Bulgarian textile factory, which for years has been using the “Star of David” as a trademark, has been arrested in Sofia on a charge of “sabotage against the national economic effort,” according to a report received here today.

The Bulgarian plant had sold some textiles to Iraq, which returned the material on the grounds that the Star of David marked it as “Zionist goods.” The arrest followed.
