20 Priests Reported
Killed by Tito Regime
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, July 24.-A New
York Times dispatch from Bari,
Italy, today quoted travellers from
Belgrade as saying Premier Marshal
Titos government was carrying out
an anti-Catholic policy of terrorism
in Yugoslavia, in which 23O priests
had been killed, 1913 without trial, in
the last two years.
The Times article, written by
Camille M. Cianfarra, did not iden-
tify the sources, saying the reasons
were obvious.
The correspondent said he had re-
ceived detailed reports of the indi-
rect suppression of the Yugoslav
Catholic press through a plea of
lack of newsprint. ''the suppression
of religious teaching in the schools,
the spoilation of church property
occupation and requisition of build
ings belonging to the clergy and
agrarian reforms that in many cases
left the clergy without the means
of subsistence"
A report winch Clanfarra said had
been given him by Belgrade "ob-
servers listed by name 80 priests
repeatedly sentenced to death be-
tween April, 1914, and May Is, 1916
with the dates of their executions
This report charged that two of the
1913 priests declared shot without
trial certainly were tortured before
execution, while the bodies of three
others were thrown into the sea
after execution"
The article further quoted the re-
port as saying IL nuns and 10 semi
narists were either shot dead OF
"massacred' and that many others
who were arrested had not been
heard from. The report said those
executed had been charged with be-
ing reactionaries or of cooperating
with Fascists"

BY the Associated Press

BY the kssoeiuted Press
LONDON, July 24.-The Brit
ish government tonight accused
leaders of the Jewish Agency for
Palestine of ordering acts of vio-
lence by underground forces in
Palestine.
In 10-page White Paper pre-
sented to Parliament by the CO.
lonial secretary, the Government
published intercepted kilograms
which it said linked Jewish Lead
ers Moshe Shertok, Bernard Joseph.
David Ben-Gurion and others with
armed attacks by the three Jewish
illegal para-military organizations"
Hagana. Irgun Zvai Leumi and the
Stern gang.
The evidence, the White Paper
declared, influenced the decision for
widespread police and Army opera
tions in which more than $500
Jews in Palestine were arrested
June 49,
Telegram Is Cited.
The White Paper accused Shertok,
head Of the Agency,s political de-
partment and a member of the Ex-
ecutlve in London, of agreeing to
"one serious incident" in Palestine
to raise the morale" of the Jew
lsh community.
The paper cited a telegram which
1t said Shertok sent October r..
l945, to Joseph, legal adviser and
executive member in Jerusalem.
agreeing in code to the plan. The
paper said the telegram read:
David will not leave before fort
night. Meanwhile, probably revisit
Paris. Regarding Dobkin written.
David himself favored delegate do
minions. Please congratulate Chill
ehsrto1 on birth of daughter. Signed
The white paper said the phrases
meant that it was desired, whilst
avoiding general conflict, to in
dulge in isolated actions"
A spokesman for the political de-
partment of the Jewish Agency in
London said the agency had no
comment whatever.
Conclusions Drawn,
The white paper said the informa-
ton led to these conclusions:
That the Hagana and the illegal
military organization known as
Palmach carefully planned move
ments of sabotage and violence un-
der the guise of the Jewish resist
ance movement;
That both organizations worked
under the political control of mem
bers of the Jewish agency.
That the illegal Irgun Zvai Leumi

Reds FIotIy Reject u. S. Plans
For Control of Atomic Enerov
Gromyko Tells U. NJ Subcommittee Russia
Opposes Memorandum in Whole or in Port
By Newbold Moves, Jr.
Stor StofT Correspondent

NEW YORK, July 24.-Andre
A. Gromyko, Soviet delegate, to-
day told a closed meeting of a
United Nations Atomic Energy
subcommittee that the Soviet
Union rejects United States pro-
posals for international control
of atomic energy as contained in
the third American memoran-
dunn on atom control, presented
to the Atomic Committee last
week.
This memorandum dealt with the
relationship of a proposed atomic
development authority to the
Security Council and other U. N.
agencies, and the proposals con-
ttained in it had been considered as
basic in the American position.
Principal among them was one pro-
viding that serious violations of the
controls administered by the pro-
posed authority should be delt with

by the Security Council, and that
in dealing with such violations the
great powers should yield their veto
right.
THE United States proposals in
their present form cannot be &C
cepted in any way by the Soviet
either as a whole or. in separate
parts" Mr.. GromyKo said at the
conclusion of a 15-minute extern
poraneous speech.
The Soviet delegate came out
fatty in opposition to the American
proposal that the Security Council
veto be abolished in matters of
atomic energy control. Speaking of
voting procedure in the Council, he
said:
"On this question also I should
like to make clear the position of
the Soviet Union that we cannot
accept any proposals that would un-

Probers Ask Income Tax Data

White House and Army
Called On to Reveal
Figures in Files

TIE Senate War Investigating
Committee called on the White
House and the War Department
today for help in it's investiga-
tion of the Carson munitions
combine.
Committee aides laid before Pres.
1dent Truman formal request fol
income tax records of undisclosec
Key figures in the combines wartime
operation.
simultaneously it demanded from
the War Department full reports or
defective AZ mortar shells. Mai
Gen. Alden H. Watt, chief of the
Chemical Warfare Service, acknoWl-
edged before the committee yester-
day that these killed some American
soldiers. He said it was doubtful
whether the responsibility could be
pinned down to any particular pro-
ducers.
The committee scheduled an ex-
ecutive session for 2 pm. today,
chiefly to discuss plans for work
ahead" during the coming congress
slonal recess. Chairman Mead has
said that it has a number of cases
'on tap" and the committee is
drafting budget of 5000 in new
funds to widen its inquiry.
Army Pledges Aid.
Committee Counsel George Mea-
der said he received assurances
from Undersecretary of War Royal
that the War Department will pro-
vide all possible data to help in de-
termining what company or COM
panies made the defective shells.
Gen. Watt testified yesterday
that number of firms, among them
Erie Basin Metal Products, Inc,
one Of the 16-company Carson
combine, manufactured shells of
that type.
He declared the Chemical War
fare Service never had been able
to trace the exact origin of these
defective shells and added that he
never could determine to his own
satisfaction whether the defects
were due to manufacture or design,
although he thought the principal
trouble lay in the design.
Undersecretary Royal also prom
ised to find and send the commit
tee the exact number of casualties
attributable directly to the defective
shells.
Some committee members, who
refused to be quoted by name, said
they were far from satisfied with
the explanation by Gen. Watt.
Lot Numbers Desired.
The feeling of the committee, it
was learned, is that the War De-
partment must certainly have
taken detailed statements and COM
piled every bit of evidence from
every member of a gun crew which
handled such shells that proved de-
fective." The committee in gen.
eral also was reported to feel that
the Chemical Warfare Service can
and should make a much greater
effort to supply "lot numbers" of
the defective shells. Gen. Watt
said at yesterdays hearing that the
Chemical Warfare Service had not
traced the defective shells through
manufacturers lot numbers.
Meanwhile, Senator Brewster, Re-
publican, of Maine termed the COM
mittee's study of the Midwest NUM-
tions combine only a peek under

the whole wartime show of cor
ruption and influence"
