BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Oct. 23.-Yugoslav Par
tisans under the dashing young
lawyer-general, Petar Dabcevis, were
involved in heavy fighting today

fully along the railway line serving
the territory between the Sava and
Danube Rivers in Eastern Croatia,
according to war bulletin broad
cast by the Free Yugoslav radio.

were under almost continuous at
tack in the Croatian province of
L1ka, near Jezerana, and near Dolny-
Lapac. The Partisans also sank a
German ship off the Dalmatian
coast.

By Benjamin DeCasseres

Modest and unassuming, al
most to the point of self-efface-
ment, Carver was not content
with mere scientific discovery
for its own sake. He was pas
Sionately convinced that the re-
suits of research must be
brought directly into the lives Of
the people.
To this end he travel @ d
through the South in a wagon,
which was filed not alone with
scientific exhibits of all kinds
and with examples of aids TO
further better farming but also
with books. These excursions
into the remote districts thus
brought not only practical aids
10 a better life but almost the
first touch Of culture the people
had ever received.

"the Wizard of Tuskegee." the
