YUC0SLAVIA GAINS
U. S. RECOGNITION

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-R)-
The United States formally recog-
nized the new government of Yug-
oslavia today, but Simultaneous
ly criticized its tactics in the elec-
tons which it recently held.
Britain also announced recogni-
ton.
In recognizing the regime head
ed by Marshal Josip Broz-Tito, the
U. S. and Britain thus gave their
legal sanction to the liquidation Of
another Of Europe's rapidly-vanish-
ing monarchies.
Tito's government rushed a law
through its constituent assembly
Nov. 20 which ousted 22-yearold
King Peter from the throne and
abolished the Karadpordjevic dy-
nasty.
Peter thus was abandoned by the
Nation which served as headquar-
ters for his Yugoslav government
in-exile during much of the war.
The young King has lived in Eng
land most of the time since his
country was overturn by the Ger
man Army in 1871.
The American decision to recog-
nize Tito's regime in the form
which it adopted following Novem-
Der elections was communicated by
acting Secretary Of State Dean
Acheson to Yugoslav Ambassador
Stanoje Sinic in Washington.
Acheson said the U. S. asSum-
ed that the Yugoslav government
would accept responsibility for that
Nations international obligations
and would confirm existing treat
les and agreements between the
two countries.
When assured Of these actions,
the U. S. will accredit U. S. Am
bassador Richard C. Patterson, Jr.,
to the new Yugoslav regime in
Belgrade, Acheson said.
The outsoken American disap-
proval of Tito's tactics was con-
tanned in instructions sent by
Acheson to Ambassador Patterson
and made public by the State De-
partme nt.

GIN, JAW DISPUTE
STILL DEADL0CKED
(By The Associated Press

The month-old wage dispute be-
tween General Motors and the CLIO
United Auto Workers remained
deadlocked yesterday but an an
nouncement by the President s
fact-finding board that hearings
would be resumed Dec. q indicated
a possibility of developments be-
fore the years end.
At the conclusion of its first
hearing, the board, in statement
of policy, said GINS ability to pay
would be a factor in the board
studies, and added that develop
ments" would determine whether
the board would ask the company
to submit its books.
The hearings were recessed I'M
til Dec. % to permit the company
and union to attempt once more
to reach an agreement on the I'M
ions demand for 80 per cent
wage rate increase.
Prior to resumption of the fact
finding hearings, the disputants
will meet in Detroit Dec. rs to
discuss grievances on the local I'M
ion level.
One indication that the strike
might not be settled by the: begin
ming of the New Year was the dis
closure by the UAW-C1O that a
telegram had been sent to all locals
designating Jan. IL as veterans
day" for simultaneous nation
wide demonstrations by veterans
of Worlds Wars I and II in sup
port of striking workers"
A movement for a "pickets' holi-
day. during Christmas appeared
to have gained wide support among
GIN workers.
Meanwhile, 10 per cent wage
increase offered by General Elec-
trio. company was rejected by the
CLIO Electrical Workers union
which recently voted to strike in
support of its demands for approx
mately 30 per cent pay boosts.
The proposal was declined as
grossly Inadequate to the needs
of GE employees" Last week the
UEW voted five to one to strike
some time after Jan. in plants
of General Motors. Previously the
union had rejected a GIN offer
to boost wages 10 IL cents an
hour.
In Pittsburgh, $4,000 more CO.
United Steel workers approved a
strike to enforce a 81 day wage
increase demand. The vote follow
ed the pattern Of the big USW vote
Nov. %, when more than $780,
900 workers voted five to one in
favor of strike now set for Jan.

sentative of the Blue Ridge bus

drivers union.
A. F. Mcdonald, general man.
ager of the lines, said the COM
pany and the Amalgamated asso-
citation of street electric railway
and motor coach operators (AFL)

request for a pay boost for several
weeks. All service between Pitts
