YUGOSLAVS TO TAKE
TRAITORS PROPERTY

BELGRADE, Nov. 20. - Delay
ed)-RHThe Yugoslav government
will confiscate the factories of in
dustrialists convicted of criminal
collaboration with t h e Germans,
but other manufacturers will con-
tinue along the lines of private en-
terprise, Andrija Hebrang, acting
minister of commerce and indus
try, said today.
Addressing the first party of
American, British and Canadian
correspondents to visit Belgrade
since its liberation by the Red ar
my and Marshal Tito's partisans
a month ago, Hebrang estimated
that the greater part of Yugoslav
manufacturers elaborated with
the Nazis.
A commission, he said, will de-
eide which cases of collaboration
will be tried by the courts for final
disposition.
Asked whether farming would be
collectivized after the war, He
brang declared ''the peasants will
live as before" but added that
the lands of those killed in the
war would be divided among the
peasants.
Ten thousand buildings were de-
stroyed in Yugoslavia during three
years OF war, Hebrang said, es-
tlmatlng it would take two or three
years to reconstruct.

BELGRADE STORY

ed Up The story of Belgrade's
three and one-half years of Nazi
occupation was unfolded to the
Western world today a month af-
tel the Yugoslav capitals liberia
ton by the Red army and Mar
snail Tito's partisans.
The first part of American, Brit
ish and Canadian newspapermen
to visit the city since it's liberia
ton found a cold, bomb-scarred
metropolis resounding to the songs
CT hundreds of partisans drilling
through streets profusely bedecked
with the red star, the hammer and
sickle and pictures of Premier
Stain and Marshal Tito.
Virtually every store window is
adorned with portraits of Stain
and Tito side by side, and a huge
two-story picture of Tito is hang
ing in the heart of the city.
The city suffered heavily under
Allied bombings. which strategical-
~ had put the capital out of the
war in April of this year. Nearly
every downtown building bears the
scars of bombing, and it is rare
building which has it's windows in
tact.
Belgradians remember 10 air
raids-one German just before the
Nazi occupation in April, 1871, and
the other Allied blows this year.
While some citizens smiled on
learning the identity of the Allied
neWsmen, other stared curiously
and some coldly.

homes and buildings which sur--
rounded them, while forgetting
that the same Gripping air blows

While there is no apparent food
shortage, prices have sky-rocketed,
sometimes as much as 200 p r

Morse Resigns WLB
And Oregon U. Posts
To Run for Senate
BY the Associated press.

By the Associated Press.
Wayne L. Morse, public member
of the War Labor Board, yesterday
cleared the way for his entrance
into the Republican senatorial race
in Oregon by resigning from both
the WLB and as dean of the Uni
versity of Oregon law school.
In letter to President Roosevelt
asking that he be relieved of duties
on the board, Mr.. Morse said:
IT respectfully submit my resig-
nation as one of the public members
of the National War Labor Board,
effective February 2, 1914. It is my
intention to become candidate for
the Republican nomination to the
United States Senate in the Oregon
primary election this coming May.
Explains Resignation.
'It has been a great honor and
privilege to serve you and my coun-
try during the past two years as
member of the tribunal which has
been charged with the responsibility
of adjudicating labor disputes and
stabilizing wages under the no.
strike, no-lockout wartime olicy.
II am proud of my record of con-
sistent and persistent adherence to
the principle that the supremacy of
Government by law must prevail in
the final determination of wartime
labor disputes"
fMorse's prospective opponent
in the Oregon Republican pri-
mary is Rufus Holman, Senate
incumbent.)
He said his decision to run for
office was reached only after
large number Of friends and groups
III my home State urged that
could perform a much-needed pub
lie service If elected, especially in
view of the fact that the issues
which undoubtedly will be decided
in Congress in the next six years
will greatly affect the destiny of our
Nation for many years to come"
Quits University Post.
In resigning from the University
of Oregon Law School, Mr.. Morse re-
marked that he believed that step
appropriate, though he is on leave
of absence from his deanship and
professorship for the remainder of
the year.
The text of Mr.. Roosevelt's letter
accepting Mr. Morse's resignation
from the WLB follows:
The reason set forth in your
letter of January q resigning as
one of the public members of the
National War Labor Board, effective
February 2 next, leaves me no al
tentative but to accept. I do so,
however, with sincere regret.
You brought to the discharge of
a difficult job, besides great in
dustry, vigorous thought and an
enlightened point of view, and you
have done work of supreme i'm
portance to the war effort"

to Air Transport Command per-
sonnel, 901, including yesterdays
have been conferred on members
of the India China wing. Brig. Gen
Earl S. Hoag of Iowa is commander
