several cases before Circuit Judge

Cabinet 10 Consider
YugosIav King S Move
10 Prevent Regency
By the Associated P1.ss.


LONDON, Jan. 12.-Premier
Ivan -Subasic of the Yugoslav
government in exile today called
his cabinet into urgent session to
consider the situation created by
King Peters expressed opposition
to a regency plan drawn up
by DR.. Subasic and Marshal Tito.
Before the meeting DR.. Ivan Ga
vilovitch, DR.. Subasic's Foreign
Minister, asserted that King Peters
move was unconstitutional, but de-
clared the cabinet undoubtedly
would take a middle-of- -the-road
course in an effort to keep the door
open for further negotiations with
Marshal Tito.
King Peter was reported slightly
i'll and under a doctors care at his
country home near Egham, Surrey
southwest of London.
THE urgent task of the govern
ment," DR.. Gavilovitch said, lis to
take some action to get out of the
trouble in which his majesty has
placed the Subasic regime by his
unconstitutional move"
The Foreign Minister asserted
that objections which the King
raised to the regency plane 'actu
ally don't mean anything and could
have been worked out ha'. he pre-
sented them to Premier Subasic for
transmission to Marshal Tito"
Subasic May Resign.
Earlier some quarters expressed
belief that DR.. Subasic might resign
as a result of the Kings stand.
Meanwhile British editorial writ
ers expressed the view that Peter
had acted 'unwisely and suggested
that the Yugosla" stalemate would
be dealt with jointly by Britain, the
United States and Russia.
Two London papers-Lord Beaver
brooks Daily Express and the Mir
ror-heralded their stories on the
Kings stand: Peter Defles Big
Three"
Some quarters expected that DR.. |
Subasic would join with Marshal
Tito in going ahead with the regency |
despite King Peters stand, which
would mean a clean break between |
the King and Marshal Tito's liberia
ton forces.
King Peter expressed his views in
statement issued last night after
he had Cancelled without explanation |
noon press conference, at which !
he was to have indicated his stand.
Basic Proposals Approved.
The King said he approved the |
basic proposals. of the Tito-Subasic .
agreement whereby the future gov
eminent of Yugoslavia would be
determined by free decision" of
its peoples.
He objected. however, to 'the sug- |
gested form of regency" and to the
provisions by which (Tito's) anti
Fascist Council of National Liberia
ton would WELD unrestricted legis-
lative power until a constituent as
sembly had completed it's work"
Official Yugoslav quarters con-
sidered King Peters move high |
handed.
Most diplomatic sources agreed
that if the King let DR.. Subasic go
all hopes of working out an agree
ment with Marshal Tito would be
smashed. Fney said DR.. Subasic
was the only Yugoslav in London
who held the confidence of Moscow
and Marshal Tito and was the only
man able to negotiate for the Lon
don government

Herbert Evers, the brilliant young
actor who has the juvenile lead in

All the spare time, and there
was very little of it, that Evers
had at Camp Hood. Tex, he put
in looking at those sagebrush sun
sets and wondering what the gang
was doing at Sardi's.
Only recently discharged from
the army, this gifted young chap
plays lieutenant in the Norman
Krasna comedy which is nightly
amusing Cass customers, which is
probably another reason for his
performance being so authentic,
in addition to his having so much
talent.
He won all the medals for
craftsmanship, but his imagina-
tion hit the real target,
While he was dreaming of the
noise of a Walgreen drugstore,
and the dim light of a rehearsal
hall, he suddenly conceived the
idea for a play on which he is
currently working.
He wants to call it Rehearsal
and have the major part of the
action take place during the ac-
tual rehearsal.
