If the experiences of this cor
respondent in a trip Of several
thousand miles criss-crossing
Yugoslavia are any criterion, it
is no more difficult for a CORES
pondent to travel in Yugoslavia
and talk to it's citizens than in
the u. S. A.
Most foreigners with whom
I have talked here have told me
dozens of stories of secret Yugo-
slav agents, constant shadow
ing,- wire-tapping, midnight ar
rests.
Personal investigation of a
large cross-section of these re-
ports and rumors has shown
that where they have had any
basis whatever it was founded
on a misunderstanding of Ian
guage or customs.
However, these stories are
firmly believed by most for
eigners in Yugoslavia and any
one who challenges them is al
most automatically labelled a
Tito sympathizer.
The experience of this cor
respondent casts some light on
conditions here. I am in this
country illegally-due to a tech
nicality rising from Govern
ment red tape I came in without
a visa. However, despite this I
have been given papers permit
ting me to go anywhere I want
in Yugoslavia.
Tito is generally described as
being protected by a massive
bodyguard. However, I saw him
at a reception mingling with
hundreds of guests and gained
entry to the occasion with a
simple engraved invitation.
Tito dimes, talks and has been
photographed without the pre-
sence of bodyguards or police.
The same informality can be
noted in the living habits of
other Government leaders.
Living quietly in Belgrade are
the wife, son and daughter of
Gen. Draja Mikhailovich who
is about to 60 on trial as a war
criminal. They live the ordinary
life Of Belgrade citizens with
no distinctions or restrictions.
I saw several hundred Roman
Catholic priests and nuns as
we'll as Orthodox clergy on my
trip through Yugoslavia. They
seemed to be accorded respect
and freedom as they would in a
Western country.
Driving through northwest
Yugoslavia in the Lika Valley
where the Croat Ustashi and
Chetniks ravaged village after
village, some hamlets could be
seen completely untouched. It
was explained that these were
the villages of the Ustashi and
the Chetniks. I was told that
they were still living in their
homes and that there would be
no retaliation.

Status of Missing Personnel

Status of Missing Personnel
Intensive searches for Army
and Navy personnel who became
missing or missing in action are
continuing throughout the
world. However, reports of
search activity to date indicate
there remains little or no pos
sibility of finding any of such
personnel alive, except a few who
have been missing less than
sixty days or a few who are be-
lieved to be deliberately absent
ing themselves without author
ity, the War and Navy Depart
ments have announced.
It is the opinion of all over
seas commanders who are
charged with searching for in
formation of the fate of missing
persons that, with the above
exceptions, all living Army and
Navy personnel have been re-
covered. This opinion is based
on knowledge acquired before
and since the cessation of hos
tilities and on experience gained
during the extensive searches
which have been made through
out all areas concerned.
Virtually all persons who are
now officially recorded as miss
ing or missing in action will
continue to be so recorded until
twelve months have expired
from the date of inception of the
missing status, or until con-
elusive evidence of death or of
some other status is received,
as required by a Federal stat
ute.
Under the provisions of Pub
lie Law 400, 77th Congress, as
amended, after an individual
has been in missing status for
twelve months and no conclusive
evidence has been obtained, all
available reports and data con-
corning the individuals disap-
pearance are carefully reviewed
and a determination of status
is made. Following the review,
the War and Navy Department
are authorized to make a pre-
surhptive finding of death or to
continue the person in a missing
status, as the circumstances
warrant. The next of kin in each
instance is notified of the
change in status. The termina-
ton of a PERSONS absence by a
presumptive finding of death is
not to be construed as an indi-
cation that the search for the
individual has been con-
cluded. It is merely an admin
strative procedure which ter
inmates the pay and allowances
for persons listed in the miss
ing" status.
A great volume of pertinent
information on missing" per-
sonnel was obtained form
Americans liberated from Ger
man prison camps around We
Day and from Japanese prison
camps hortly after VI Day.
The liberated personnel were
interrogated soon after their re-
lease and in many cases furnish
ed bits of information which
when pieced together enabled
Army and Navy officials to
clear up the records of many
persons who had been carried
in the missing" status.

Approximately 500 appeals have been filed by taxpayers with the Waterbury Board Of Tax Review, AldrO Jenks, chief assessor. said at noon today. Deadline for filing is at ? NJ. today.
 The Board will 90 into executive session today at 3:30 P N. No for. maj hearines will be conducted at the time.
 All appeals will be assigned for scheduling so tha, all appellants will subsequently, be notified. by mail. of their respective hearing time. The hearing session is to be held from June 10 10 Aug. 10
 Victor MambTuno, chairman Of the Board. said that ample hearing time will be given each appellant. 'The board is prepared to deal with everyone fairly and equitably," the chairman declared.
 The special session Is the result of the demand Of taxpayers that more hearing time be provided. The city received a validating act from the General Assembly that pros yided for the boards special ses- sion.
 The low number of appeals filed came as a surprise to many officials today because Of its inconsistency with the extent Of the demand for the special session, IL is believed that the blanket 10 percent redue- ton on all buildings, made by the assessors office. eliminated the dis satisfaction Of many taxpayers.

Belgrade. June 10 = eUPl -- Gen. Draja Mikhailovitch was hissed and booed by some 1000 spectators to. day when he strode into a jammed courtroom to face trial on charges of collaborating with the Nazi oc- cupation forces in Yugoslavia.
 The trial of Mikhailovitch. once hailed by the Allies as the heroic leader of anti.Nazi resistance in Yugosiavia. opened with the formal reading Of treason charges against him and g other joint defendants.
 The court and prosecution staff were greeted with applause when they appeared for the opening of the trial.
 In contrast with the welcome giv- en the court and prosecution, jeers resounded through the courtroom when the former chetnik guerrilla leader made his first public appear ance since his capture by the forces Of Marshal Tito,
 The court rapped for order. and the demonstration against MikhaD" lovltch subsided.
 The trial opened in the small auditorium of an infantry training school at T0pcider. Belgrade suburb. The two judges and preSi- dent of the court sat al green cloth- covered tables. The prosecution staff sat on the right Of the judges. On the other side was the defense, backed by the severe wooden bench- es for the dozen Of the accused on hand for the trial. The remainder are being tried in ahsentia.
 4 i5-man military guard was ar- rayed directly behind the defend- ants
 The charges. or act of accusa- ilon." were being read at the out- set of the trial. The arraienments were to be made enmaSse. followed by an individual defense starting with Mikhailovitch. The proceed iilgs were being translated into Eng fish, French and Russian.
