Washington, March 26-(UP)- Gen. Omar N. Bradley, Veterans Administrator, said today that one out of every five discharged serv- icemen quit his peacetime job after few weeks of employment.
 Bradley said the unemployment of these veterans is an acute em- ergency." He asked Senate Labor Subcommittee to postpone return of the U. S. Employment Service to state control. Such action, he said, might throw the whole sys- tenn into confusion"
 Bradley said that of an estimated II 100000 discharged servicemen, approximately 20 percent had held their first civilian positions only a few weeks, An additional one tenth were about ready to quit at the time of a recent survey was made.
 Veterans employment. he said, is the "chief question of the moment not only in their own lives but in the national employment picture" He revealed that employment diff cultieS had caused l.442.I34 veterans to be on unemployment compensa- tion roles during the first week of March. costing the Federal Govern ment e33. .935,363 a week.

FederoI Tox Slump Noted Lag in Returns
 Easily Placed

Washington, March 26-(UP)- Treasury officials today attributed a slump in tax payments this year to reconversion layoffs, strikes and end of the excess profits tax on Jan. l,
 Government income during the first 21 days of March--when final payments for 1945 were made-was $3,972, ,000 900. This compared to $,- 310,000,000 during the corresponding period last year.
 Government expenditures for the first throe weeks of this month, however, showed even sharper decline and for the second consecu- tive month are running less than income. The Treasury netted a surplus of $370, 100000 for the period. This compared with a $2,- 000000,000 deficit for the corres- bonding period last year.
 Tn the fiscal year which began last July the Government has col- lected $32, ,233 ,00O, 900 through March q against $32 860, ,000, 900 in the cor- responding period of the previous fiscal year
 Tn the last two months the pub lie debt, which early in the year was about $28,000, ,000,000 has been cut down to $276,63O, ,00O, O0O This re- suited for the most part from cash payments for several large matur- ing debts. This cash was taken from the Treasury's unusually high surplus.

UrgeVeterons oGive Facts In Inquiries
 Many Delays
 In Insurance
 Department

Incomplete information supplied by New England veterans as they pay premiums on their Nationa
 Service Life Insurance is causing delays in the prompt handling ot Veterans Administration insurance records, warnec John E. Goggins Insurance Director at the VA Branch Office No. 1, 55 Fremont Street, Boston, today
 An average of 13,O00 remittances each month-one in every eight re- ceived-lack the veterans name, po- licy number or his service serial number. These premiums, averag- ing total monthly sum of about $91 ,000 must be separately processed by special "searcher" clerks; some times requiring months of checking and re-checking before they are cre- dited to the correct policy.
 Goggins pointed to two main sources of difficulty encountered by VA insurance officials in maintain ing veterans records:
 First-Insufficient identification on checks, postal notes and money orders. Postal notes, particularly, have been received frequently with out any notation as to the insureds name, policy number or his service serial number.
 Second - Veterans having their friends make their payments for them at VA offices fail to provide the policy or serial number required. The VA tellers accept such pay ments, but a lengthy procedure must be followed before they are traced and accredited to the veterans policy.

secured and the efforts of the Yu- goslav government to right the wrong done.
 "If, however, within that time these demands are not compiled with, the United States Government will call upon the Security Council of the United Nations to meet promptly and to take appropriate action"
 May Test UN's Future
 Should the matter go to the &c., curity Council, with the possibility of Russian veto on a decision against Yugoslavia, 1t appeared that the matter might produce decisive test for the UN's future.
 Under the LIN Charter, the Unit ed States, Britain, Russia, France or China can veto any recommen- dations of the Council.
 Official sources here believe that the Yugoslav action in shooting down the American planes, Russian demands for bases in the Darda- nelleS plus continued friction be- tween Russia and the Western AL lies in Germany and Austria, are part of a Soviet-dominated pat tern.
 It is believed that the Russians are trying to find out just how far they can go in pushing the western powers out of Europe and the Mid de East.
 Russia Must Be shown
 So far as these officials are con- cerned-and they are understood to include President Truman, Secretary of State James F. Byrnes and Act ing Secretary Dean Acheson-the United States must show the Rus sians that they cannot go any farther.
 At the moment, their apparent intention is to play the U. s. hand through diplomatic channels only The War Department policy is to keep hands off and avoid friction wherever possible. For example, transport planes flying near Yugo- slav or Russian territory will not be given fighter escort.
 Meanwhile, the 45,000-ton carrier Franklin D. Roosevelt and an es- cort of five destroyers and two cruis- CTS was heading from Lisbon to Gibraltar. The Navy said the ships would engage in training maneuvers in the Mediterranean before return ing home.

Diplomats Weigh Soviet Support
 Which May Influence Yugoslavia

lie at II P. M. EDT. The usual dip- lomatic proceude was not to make such matters public until they have been received in the capitol of the government involved.
 Makiedo appeared to be badly shaken when he emerged from Achesons office about five minutes later The language of the note showed why.
 Acts Violate Charter
 It accused Yugoslavia, as a gov ernment which ''professes to be a friendly nation" of outrageous acts" It bluntly termed the acts as:
 l. "A plain violation of the
 obligations resting upon Yugo-
 slavia under the Charter of the
 United Nations not to use force
 except in elf-defense;
 2. Without the slightest jus
 tification in International law;
 g. An offense against the
 law of nations and the princi-
 pies of humanity"
 The note said that the explana- tionS the Yugoslav government had given for it's fighter planes shooting down the American transports were wholly unsatisfactory to the gov ernment and shocking to the people of the United States
 The note even rejected the Yugo- slav excuse" that the planes were shot down because they were over Yugoslav territory. It said the U. s. would discuss that excuse after talking to the men who were the victims of the attack.
 Differ On Figures
 The U. s. even quarreled with Yugoslav arithmetic. It asserted that Yugoslav claims that her ter ritory had been violated by Amer ican planes fl times since Aug. 10 were incorrect. Since that time, the Yugoslavs were told, there had been only 32 flights scheduled over the Italy-Austria route, and all the pilots were told to avoid flying over Yugoslavia,
 The U. s. note denied that the flights the first of which occurred on July g, in any way constituted threat to the sovereignty of Yugo- slavia."
 "At no time" it added, did the Yugoslav government advise the United States government that If one of it's planes should, because of weather conditions, be forced mile or two outside the corridor (the airline route across southeastern Austria) or, because of mechanical troubles, should find itself outside of that corridor, the Yugoslav gov would shoot to death the occupants of the plane"
 The deliberate firing without warning on the unarmed passenger planes of a friendly nation is in the judgment of the United States an offense against the law of nations and the principles of humanity.
 Wants Safe Passage
 Therefore the government of the United States demands that you im- release the occupants of these planes now in your custody and that you insure their safe pas sage beyond the borders of Yugosla- via.
 "TIhe government of the United States also demands that its repre- be permitted to commun- Ieate with any of the occupants of the two planes who are still alive.
 If within forty-eight hours from the receipt of this note by the Yugo- slav government these demands are with, the United States will determine it's course in the light of the evidence then

spect Polish rehabilitation camps in Britain for possible military activity. The camps are for Polish soldiers who re- fuse to return to Poland. The note insisted that the British conducted campaigns be de void of military characteristics"
 (6) The feud between Soviet supported Albania and Greece flared up at the Paris Confer enee Premier Enver Hoxha of Albania claimed that Greece was seeking to disturb peace in the Balkans by intrigue"
 The Evening News reported from Paris that Foreign Secretary Ernesl BeVin was expected to warn Kar- ielj today that a continuation oi present Yugoslay attitude would graVely impair" Anglo-Yugoslal relations.

 Washington, Aug. 22.-(UP)-Of- ficial circles believed today the ex- tent of active Russian support may determine whether Marshal Tito will release all imprisoned Ameri- can flyers by Il P. M. EDT tomor- row, or defy White-hot United States ultimatum.
 If Tito decides on defiance, the United States will take the matter and it's accompanying implications Of power politics in eastern Europe before the Security Council of the United Nations.
 How far Russia has influenced Yugoslavia in her recent actions, no one is willing to say. But the best opinion in official circles was that the Soviets have, at the very least, encouraged Tito to take a strong anti-American line. These officials thought that Moscow while no dic- tating tactics, might well be out lining the strategy.
 Russia Could Go Far
 Officials here believed Russia could go far toward determining whether Tito yields to the Ameri- can demands or lets the matter go before the Security Council. Some thought Tito might even so to Pre- mier Stalin for advice.
 GThe Paris Peace Conference
 was at sJandstill awaiting
 the outcome of the crisis. Dip
 lomats attending the Paris con-
 ference also were said to be-
 lieYe that the outcome may de-
 pend on how much support
 Russia gives Marshal Tito1.
 The United States last night gave Yugoslavia 48 hours to hand over the imprisoned survivors of two un- armed Army planes forced down by Yugoslav guns, or have this coun- try take the matter to the United Nations.
 The ultlmatum gave Yugoslavia 48 hours after its government re- ceiVed the note. Official sources said they had been assured that the note would reach the proper officials by Il P. M. EDT. last night.
 Pinned With Responsibility
 In plain talk that bristled with anger and sarcasm, the U. s. pinned on YugoslaV officials the responsi- bility for the death of some if not alp' of five crew members in the second plans, forced down Aug. 19. It was reported that three of the five airnen were killed.
 These flyers, the U. s. said, "met their death not by accident but by deliberate acts of Yugoslav autIlori- ties.''
