AddnniiC Defends
Book on Arrival
For Talk Here
Dismisses Rep. Dondero
as Tool Of Tito Foes;
Denies He's Communist

Louis Adamic. the author-syrn-
pathilcr Of the Communist-backed
Tito faction in his native Yugo-
savia. arrived in Detroit Satur-
day 70 talk about the Balkan
situation and current congress
SIGNAL controversy surrounding
his book, The Natives Return
The controversy was stirred by
Rep. George A. Dondero of Royal
Oak when he learned that the
book had been purchased in a
$4,000 lot by the army and navy
for distribution overseas.
NEVER MET DoNDERo
OF the Balkan situation, the
tall thin-haired author was most
optimistic. predicting that Tito's
efforts would be recognized by
the three world powers.
OF Dondero. the author was
critical.
While admitting he never met
the NJ h gan congressman,
Adamic dismissed him as a tool
of anti-Tito interests masquerade
ing in The nations capital as "uus
representatives of Yugoslavia."
He said his information was
based on several calls to Wash.
ington.
CRITICISM DELETED
Dondero recently questioned
the advisability of distributing
Adamic's book to the armed serv-
ices because il proclaimed a leftist
swing in America.
Adamic said:
"In the first place, that refer
ence was removed from tho
revised edition because the left
ist swing in America has already
materialized. Hence, Its dele
ton in army and navy copies"
DENIES HE'S COMMUNIST
Adamic denied he was Com.
munist. declaring his sympathies
were wrapped in the true demo
cratic interests of his country.
He said he was firmly convinced
that the three powers woult
shortly disregard King Peter anc

LOCAELAUNDRIES CONVERT TO COAL.
Drastic Curtailment in Fuel ' Oil Allotment Prompts %S ACtlUu

sTheir fuel oil aIlotments drasti- caliy curtailed, local laundries and cleaning establishments are in the isrocess of converting to coal in or- der to maintain service for hun- dreds of war workers in the city.
 Because of the high percentage of housewives engaged in war work, the services of cleaners have been severely taxed for the past several months and Q wholesale shutdown would undoubtedly mean another serious burden for women factory workers.
 Most of the city's cleaning plants are preparing to convert or have already done so, survey indicated today. Two of the larger establish ments are now operating with coal, and others are awaiting delivery of essential parts for the conversion process.
 Many said they had changed from the use of coal to oil within the past few years and are now forced by circumstances to replace coal heat ing equipment. Parts are obtainable, one dealer said, but are slow in coming. He added that he was oper- ating under a sixty per cent lcur- tailment or his oil allotment and that if he did not receive the necessary equipment in time he would be forced to close his plant. No allowance is being made for dealers awaiting such deliveries, he said. N
