 High Balkan diplomatic quarters said the Yugoslayian Cabinet de- cided after an all-night session to return the little Kingdom to full and complete neutrality because cooperation with the Axis Powers is contrary with the Yugoslev pco- ple.'
 This is the blunt answer given to Germany following the demand made yesterday from Berlin, which is considered in diplomatic circles as an ultimatum, that full explana- tion be made by Yugoslavia con- corning the coup d'etat in over- throwing Regent Prince Paul's pro- Axis government.

 WASHINGTON, March 28.-For the second day, I'm giving you a brief resume of the lecture deliv- cred by Rep. Luther Patrick, of Birmingham. Ala, to new members of the House of Representatives. It's down. to- earth, behind- the . scenes stuff and offers an intimate aspect of Congressional life.
 More of Patrick's "do's and don'ts':
 "(0 Avoid the mistake of think ing it is two years before you have to run again. A congressman runs all the time and merely has his books balanced each two years to see if he is still in Congress. A schoolboy wrote in a civics examin- ation. The seats of congressman are vaccinated every two years
 "(8 Listen courte0usly when an older congressman is talking to you. You can say what you please when he walks away and . .. Act very respectfully toward any con- gressman who has been here 10 years or over. The chances are he is chairman of a committee.
 "(9) Learn parliamentary pro- cedure. A dumb congressman can appear fairly smart if he has a general, practical grip on the rules of order here.

never explain anything simply will not work in Congress. The folks know you can not vote with all of them all of the time, but the left-off side wants an expla- nation, and your job is to make it plausible. Congress is one-fourth action and three -fourths explain ing. Your question is, Will I get tired of that ? The answer is, Yes
 "1D No congressman can rise above his secretary.
 "Q2) Remember the folks back home who are quick to send tele- grams on issues are not so great in number as those who do not send telegrams at all.

 "d4 Do not come in with the idea of making faces at the other party. It is mighty weak service
 "u5) Never get sn00ty or hard to get along with with the news paper boys. Not only do they get the last punch at you. but they do have a hard job.

WASHINGTON. - Colonel Wild Bill" Donovan, semi-official Observ- CT who has been touring the Near East, brought decidedly gloomy re- port back to Washington.
 Donovan told Secretary of the Navy Knox and Secretary of War Stimson, the two Republican mem- bers of the cabinet who were largely responsible for sending him, that British chances were anything but rosy in the Balkans The Greeks. he found, were riding the crest of the wave but were successful more be- cause of their superhuman bravery and the weakness of the Italians than because of their real military strength. Against strong, we'll equipped foe, such as the Germans, it would be different story.
 The Turkish army, Donovan also reported, is poorly equipped when it comes to modern weapons of war and is worried over Russia.
 In North Africa he found that General Weygand was not disposed to act independently of vichy, ond the French in general seemed de- spondent, floundering' in their pol icy and almost completely lacking in leadership.
 NOTE.-C0lonel Donovan got his name Wild Bill'' in the famous Rainbow Division where he was wounded three times, was awarded all three U. s. medals for bravery. He later served as assistant attorney general under Coolidge.
