The Communist-dominated Bulgarian regime is stalling on promises to pay damages for the E1 A1 passenger plane which was shot down near the Bulgarin-Greek border in the summer of 1955, Israel sources indicated today.
Israel submitted damage claims of $2,500,000 in the tragedy in which all 58 persons aboard were killed and the Bulgarian Government, after at first rejecting responsibility, finally agreed to pay damages. Israel sources said no progress has been made toward actual payment of the claims.
