United State information service

ganda against Yugoslavia and
had asked the American EN-
bassy to close the service and the
American reading room here.
A formal foreign office note, the
source said, accused the informa-
tion service of distributing bulletins
against the Tito government in con-
travention of Yugoslavia press
laws.
According to this source, the in
formation service and the reading
room had been operating under an
agreement that called for the dis
semination of cultural and educa-
uonal information and news that
would further American-Yugoslav
relations.
Charges "Slanderous' Articles.
The note, the source continued, as
serted that not all the information
given out was educational or cul-
tural and in specific instances was
definitely anti-Yugoslav.
The main objection, the in
formant added, was to the distribu-
ton of two articles from the Los
Angeles Examiner written by Eric
L. Pridonoff, a former Embassy
Commercial Attache, which were
characterized by officials here as
slanderous and "a grave insult to
