ATTACKERS COMMENDED
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia. Aug. 2

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Aug. 20. A spokesman within the Yugoslav government said today that "our pilots did the right thing" in commenting on the shooting down of an unarmed American trans port plane yesterday and forcing another to land earlier.
 They did nothing which was not in coordination with our own international rights said the spokesman, who declined to be quoted by name. The governmeia itself refused official comment.
 A person who saw the second C. 47 attacked yesterday said the biz transport went down spiralling in black smoke during an attack hv two Yugoslav fighters. Four or five cannon shots could be heard. Only two parachutes were seen to ofen from the plane, which carried five crewmen. No passengers, mail or cargo was aboard.
 It was not immediately clear what national territory the plane was over when the attack was made.
 The witness said a large column of black smoke arose from the Jul ian Alps where the transport came down, indicating 1t exploded
 American embassy officials, who called the earlier attack wicked, inexcusable and deliberate" said they were investigating the new in cident, but that Yugoslav military authorities declined to give any in- formation.

ASSAULTS ON US. PLANES BRING ACTION
SPOTLIGHT NOW
 Il ON NEW YORK
 CONGRESS RACES
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PREss)

New York's primary elections, in volving 21 Congressional contests, held the political spotlight today and the outcome may furnish an answer to the question of whether the recent trend in which midwest ern incumbents were unseated will spread to the East.
 Prospective candidates for Gov ernor and U. s. Senate did not figure directly in the voting as nominees for these offices will be selected next month at state party conventions.
 However, Governor Thomas E. Dewey, virtually certain to be drafted" for reelection by the Re- publican state convention made his influence felt in three hot Con- gressional contests.
 Elsewhere today, Senator James M Tunnell and Rep. Philip A. Traynor, were expected to be re- nominated by the Delaware Demo- cratic convention.
 In Utah, Republicans voted in runoff primary on Arthur Wat kins, Orem attorney and William l.. Baker, Provo construction engineer for the senatorial nomination to oppose Abe Murdock, Democratic incumbent.

BRITAIN WILL RETAIN GRASP
 ON PALESTINE

 2 LONDON, Aug. 20. - A British government informant said today that Britain will ask the United Nations Trusteeship Council next month to appoint her sole trustee for Palestine.
 The government has decided this step is necessary, the source said, because with the demise of the League of Nations the legal basis of Britain's mandatory rights no long CT exist.
 He said, however, that Britain would certainly not" give up her mandate in the Holy Land and had never considered doing so.

!, WASHINGTON, Aug. 2O.-Under-
 secretary of State Acheson, in charge of the State Department in the absence of Secretary Byrnes, today bluntly denounced Yugo- slav attack on an American plane as "an outrageous performance" Acheson made this characteriza- ton as he sent the Yugoslav gov erment new and emphatic pro- test-the third disclosed in two days.
 Acheson took the unusual cours, of permitting reporters at his news conference to quote him directly on the phrase outrageous perform ance" and lashcd out at Yugo- slayia's treatment of planes in the area near Trieste by saying that it was not the type of action one would expect from a friendly country.
 The latest American note said
 Tt would be assumed that the
 authorities of :. Yugoslavia would wish to render a maximum of as- s.stance and succor to aircraft of friendly nation when the latter are forced by the hazards of navi- gation in bad weather over danger ous mountain barriers to deviate from their course and seek bearings over Yugoslav territory"
 "On the contrary the note con-
 tinued, "Yugoslav fighter aircraft

 warning to take aggressive action against such United States trans
 port plane, the Identification of
