Some diplomats believe that Tito,
with his claim on Trieste, may have
carried out the attacks to see how
Americans would react to trouble
along the Italo-Yugoslav frontier, TO
study the strength of Americans who
thought their country had no business
in that area anyway, and to probe the
immediate reactions Of Secretary
Byrncs and his experts in Paris.
1t was on August 8 that the first
American transport was forced down
in a cornfeld near Ljubljana, after
repeated Yugoslav protests that for
eign pilots were violating her SOY

Belgrade charged that 40 Anglo

Red Clouds in the Sky

Decision of the United States to
abandon for the time being its efforts
to negotiate air agreements with six
countries provides an interesting side
light on the current diplomatic dis
pute over eastern Europe.
The aviation division of the U. S.
State Department has made no prog
ress in nearly two years of discus
sion over air rights with Russia, Po-
land. Yugoslavia, Hungary, Romania
and Bulgaria, where American trans
Atlantic airlincs would like landing
fields.
The aviation division indicated it
would concentrate on signing aviation
pactS with Brazil, China, Australia,
India and South Africa. A total of 10
nations already have signed agree
ments with the u. s., including Brit
ain and France.
Not Interested Now
Foreign Commissar VyacheSlav
Molotov indicated several months ago
in Paris, these officials said, that the
Sovcts would not be interested in eX-
changing aviation pactS with the U. ).
for quite some time.
Poland, YugoslaVia and Hungary
all listed as stops for American air
lines, also have either ignored Amer
ican overtures or profeSsed to be con-
ccrned with other economic problems
Poland received a draft of an Amer
ican-prOposed aviation pact nearly &
year ago but has not replied or ever
commented on it. YugoslaVia has no
even recognized the first of the So
called two freedoms" the right Of
commercial planes to fly over Yugo-
slav territory and land in emcrgen-
ClCS.
These countries in the eastern Eu.
ropcan sphere, while protesting little
interest in international air travel
repeatedly have been building W
their own air lines with Russian as

This week Maj. Gen Maxwell Tay-
lor, West Point comEiandant, charged
that stars Of Arn2y's football team on
summer furlough We're being badg-
cred by coaches and college repre-
sentativcs urging them to transfer in
order to play football.
The financial offers involved were
often fantastic and show an apparent
decay in the amateur spirn of college
athletics which is most rcgrcttahle,"
Gen. Taylor said.
The commandments blast followed a
recent charge by the Mississippi State
College football coach that Academy
authorities would not allow Cadet
T. f. (Shorty) McWilliams to resign
"bccausc he is a football star"
McWillams had been an outStand-
ing halfback at Mississippi State IN
1914 and was a first string player on
Army's championship eleven last fall.
Gen. Taylor said McWilliams had
received a particularly lucrative offer
to leave the Point and play football
elsewhere and "haVlng no particular
means was faced with a very difficult
decision" He said McWilliams first
submitted a resignation then with
drew it voluntarily before it could
reach official channels.
MANY candidates who previously
sought and obt1ncd appointments tC
West Point declined their appoint
mcnts this year at the last minute,
said Gen. Taylor, apparently as tht
result of financial offers to play foot
ball at other colleges.

Meats EUROPE Friction Points the EastWes Tug of Peace

A STEADILY widening breach
n between the Big Three, on
whom the future of the postwar
world depends, has divided Eu-
rope into two huge, opposing
camps, dominated by Russia IN
the east and bY Brita n and the
United States in he west. Where
these spheres of influence join are
points of friction and the heat gen.
Grated by diplomatic power plays IN
these areas occasionally flares into
rioting or actual gunplay as at Trieste
and in the plane incidents over Yugo-
Slavia.
The struggle over realignment of
power in Europe has battered almost
beyond recognition the once highly
regarded zone world" concept of
harmonious community Of nations.
The little nations of Europe have be-
come pawns in a gigantic tug of peace.
This is not necessarily a prelude to
another world conflict but it is tug
of peace with explosive potcntialitieS.
Points of Conflict
The clash over YugoSlavia has mo-
nopolized headlines recently but it IS
only one of at least seven areas where
the doctrines of east and west are in
conflict. The issues will have to be
settled in the Paris peace conference
or in the United Nations unless the
present peace is to become merely
preparation for another conflict.
The points of friction, CnClrcled on

L.. Control of Germany, now parti-
toned under four military govern
mCnts.
2. American British charges that
the Rcd dominated Warsaw govern

mcnts.
B. YugoSlavia'S demand for Trieste.
4. Control of the Danube, key to
Balkan commerce.
5. A demand by the Ukraine that
the U.N. Security Council consider
British-Occupicd Greece a threat to
peace in the Balkans, and border
dispute between Greece and Albania.
