Is Made Premier as German Soldiers Occupy Country Br RICHARD R. KAS1SCHKE LONDON, June 1 Bulgaria apparently has been taken over by the Germans through a puppet regime in the same manner that they as-rimed control of Hungary, another lnke-warm ally, lat March, A Transocean dispatch broadcast tonight by the Berlin radio announced the lormation of a new Sofia government headed by Ivan Bagrianov, 53-year-old former minister of agriculture and one-time adjutant of the late King Boris, a premier and foreign minister. Bagrianov, one of the most pro-Axis of Bulgaria's politicians, is a graduate of the Bulgarain military academy. He visited both Germany and Italy as minister of agriculture in 1941 and returned with a proposal that the Bulgar farm economy be placed completely under state control, as in Germany. Rejection by Bogdan Philov'a cabinet of his ideas of reform along Fascist lines led to his resignation Feb 4.

1941, and he had since been out of the government. The Transocean announcement lifted a silence which had cloaked Bulgaria since the resignation of Premier Dobri Bojilov cabinet un der pressure from Berlin to increase its war contribution and from Moscow to get out of the conflict or suffer the consequences. Since Bojilov's fall last week neu tral reports have said the Germans Tjoured trooDS into the country and took over command of the Bulgarian army to integrate it into defense azainst the anticipated new Russian offensive. Dissident army leaders were reported to have fled. (A Hungarian news agency broadcast recorded by TJ.

S. Gov ernment monitors said that various decrees "concerning the organization of industrial production" were prepared and "shopping hours were fixed for Jews" by Premier Doeme-- Sstojay's Hungarian cabinet Thursday).
