CLEVELAND, Sept. 13.-A lot OF
John Smiths with no middle initial
are giving the Veterans Admins
tration a lot of trouble.
And the one from North Carolina
who uses "a for his middle letter

Discussing difficulties VA has with

The general told the annual con.
vention of the National Association

much of the present confusion about
the insurance should be eliminated
soon.
A new system is being put int
effect decentralizing the insuranc.
division from one headquarters IL

U. 5. Reveals Apology
Given YugosIavia for
Embassy Stoning Here
By Gornett D. Horner

The United States has apollo
gized formally for the action of
two youths in throwing stones at
the Yugoslav Embassy here re-
Gently amid agitation over at
tacks on American transport
planes over Yugoslavia.
This incident was disclosed as
Acting Secretary of State Clayton
announced that this Government
had decided not to stop UNRRA
shipments to Yugoslavia in retalia-
ton for the shooting down of two
American planes.
His announcement described de-
mands for halting the relief ship
ments as a natural reaction to
the nexcusable behavior" of the
Yugoslav air forces, but said the
matter is "in a fair way to be
adjusted" and retaliation through
UNRRA would be a violation OF
American obligations.
Secrecy Attempt Denied.
State Department and police Off
cials denied that secrecy was ordered
on the stoning incident here, but
Maj. Harvey G. Callahan, super
lntendent of police. said no an
nouncement was made about it at
the time because police knew the
State Department would not want
any publicity.
A State Department official sale
the incident involved two innocent
boys of pre-college age who were
misguided at the moment" during
the height of tension with Yugo-
slavia over the plane attacks.
He said he understood they threw
few rocks at the Yugoslav Embassy
1920 Sixteenth street NV, breaking
one window.
The State Department received a
note of protest the next day and
promptly replied with an expression
Of regrets, the spokesman said.
He said he understood the youths
forfeited collateral, but did not know
the amount or the names or ages of
the stone -throWers.
Capt. George Wallrodt of precinct
No. referred all questions about
the incident to Maj. Callahan, who
said he understood the youths were
former soldiers and that they were
released without any action being
taken against them at State De-
partment request.
Shipment Stoppage Asked.
Mr.. Clayton's statement followed
demands by some Congress members
that the United States cut off re-
lief shipments to Yugoslavia and re-
fusal by AFL longshoremen to load
ships for that country. A call for
end OF the longshoremen's boycott
came yesterday from Dave Beck, vice
president of their union, who said
the union should not attempt to
dictate foreign policy"
Official American demands grow
ing out of the plane incidents
have been largely met" Mr.. Clay
ton said, through formal apology
from Yugoslavia, assurance that
such attacks will not happen again
and tentative agreement to indem-
Nifty the families of five American
airmen who lost their lives.
He pointed out that the United
States had assumed internationa
obligations in UNRRA, which had
approved the Yugoslavia relief pro-
gram, and said that "notwithstand-
ing the provocation in this case. il
is our belief that We should take
no action which would place us ir
the position Of dishonoring our in
/ ternational commitments"

Your G Rights
BY DOUGLAS LARsEN

Washington, March 9. (NEA)- Pooling their CT rights is becoming one of the most profitable ways for former servicemen to get into busi- ness. Ihis cooperative action is Springing up all over the country. It permits any number of eligible veterans to put their e4,OOO govern ment-guaranteed loans into a kitty, thus becoming part founders of a really big business.
 There are many obvious advan- tages to this. AS well as pool money, they are pooling brains. which is probably the most important thing. One vet takes over the function of the company which he knows most about, and one or more of the other partners do the same thing with other activities, The result is a com bination of talent which makes suc- cess of the project more probable.
 One of the best uses of this CO., operative plan is in the purchase Of surplus property from the gov- ernment. AS veterans, they get their priority, And with more money available they can buy big ger equipment, and goods in much bigger lots. Gt enables one of their number to concentrate on the legal aspects Of the purchase of govern ment surplus. or together they can afford to hire experienced lawyers to do this work. The surplus pr0p- ty law Is 90 complicated # takes ex- perts to figure out all the angles and handle the transactions,
 An example of what can be done with this cooperative action is de- mOnstFated by Il2 Ar Force vet~ eFang from the state Of New York, They are planning t0 start an aiF freight service between Portland, oregon, and Yukon, Alaska. With their combined lean hepelsts they can get priority and buy the ueoe4- RaFy planes. paFis and equipment They combine their talents as pilots. mechanics, and naFlgatoFs.

Waterway  
 Project ThFsaiens
 Labor StandaFds
 Charges WOll

Rochester, N. Y., March s-(UPl Matthew Woll, vice-president of the America'e Federation of Labor, condemned the proposed St. Law renee Waterway last night as "ill- conceived, ill-founded and danger. ous meddling with the well-being of our national affairs"
 Woll told the Rochester Cham. Der of Commerce Transportation club that efforts to revive the pro- Ject are based on "a most crafty, if not unconstitutional, procedure" He said the AFL "is convinced {. of the fallibility, the dubiousness, the utter impractlcality and unin- telligibility of the project and of it's harmful and baneful potential ities."
 He warned that the project, if carried out, would threaten exist ing labor standards, retard develop ment of present American transpor. tation facilities and would prove only meager-if not doubtful benz efciary" to American taxpayers.
 This proposed public works pro- ject would resuC in dislocating present employment and offer no sound substitute for the potential employment of workers by the en- hancement and encouragement of our present transportation sys- tems," he said.
 The seaway, he said. would "af- feet the lives and well-being of ap- proximately 65O.000 coal miners in the United States" by making rela- lively inexpensive coal from Eng land and Wales available to Can- adian industry. The AFL executive also warned that millions of tons of coal" from Russia would be shipped over the route to Canada at dumped prices"
