Tito 5 Envoy Received
As Truman Stresses
Ideals Of Democracy

A reminder that the United States
does not consider that Yugoslavia
has yet achieved freedom and
democracy" marked President Tru-
mans formal acceptance of a new
Ambassador from Marshal Tto's
government.
The American people "are follow
ing with sympathetic interest the
efforts of the Yugoslav people to
repair the ravages of the recent
war and to achieve " 4" those ideals
Of freedom and democracy which
inspired the United Nations to VIC
tory" Mr.. Truman told Ambassador
Sava N. Kosanovic yesterday.
Friendship Pledged.
In a formal exchange of remarks
as he presented his credentials at
the White House, Mr.. Kosanovic
stressed deep friendship" between
the American and Yugoslav peoples
and said mo temporary difficulty
can weaken the bond between them"
Both the President and the new
Ambassador avoided any mention of
the execution of Gen. Draja Mihail-
ovich and other controversial issues.
Flyers Evidence Barred.
Mr.. Kosanovic said the Yugoslavs
rejected the Nazis in 194l and for
the next four years "waged their
struggle for liberation under the
leadership OF Marshal Tito" ignor-
ing the resistance leadership of Gen.
Mihailovich which was hailed by the
Allies during the early part of the
war.
The government now headed by
Tito executed Gen. Mihailovich

ave Drives for Boost
In GI Student Allowance

A program advocating increased
subsistence allowances for veterans
studying under the GI Bill of Rights
was launched today by the Ameri-
can Veterans Committee.
The campaign will call for in
creases from $65 to 500 a month for
single veterans and from 500 to $125
for married ex-servicemen, accord
ing to Chet Paterson, the commit
tees legislative representative.
Principal reason for the boost, Mr..
Paterson said, is to meet increased
living costs.
TO ask the veteran student to
exist on his present allowance for
the next six months" he said would
not only impose tremendous hard
ship but would actually make 1t i'm
possible for many to obtain the edu-
cation they need and deserve"

successful the Government would
have to direct 1t actively. At the
peace" conference last fall the Gov
ernment assumed hands-off atti-
tude and agreements were stalled by
wide differences between labor and
management.
Senate Action Assailed.
Referring to the new price control
measure under consideration in
Congress, the CIO board stated:
"In the scandalous exhibition OF
log-rolling unequaled in its depths
of betrayal of public interest, the
Senate has removed control over
product after product in a manner
which would leave the most impor-
tant portions Of the American pantry
without even the pretense of price
protection"
The board called on the President
to veto any bill which would be a
fraud on the American people" 1t
also called for a Nation wide buy
ers' strike to hold down prices. Mr.
Murray said that the CIO would or
ganize such strikes at the local or
community level.
Price Pledge Held Broken.
Mr.. Murray said organized labor
in its first postwar wage demands
had banked on an administration
pledge to hold the price line. This
pledge was broken, he said, not by
Mr.. Truman but by the 'irrespon-
sible action" of Congress. Now prices
have risen so as to wipe out all the
recent wage increases, he added.
And prices are still going up
Mr.. Murray said. When the soar
ing commodity prices reach the
consumers level fully, then workers
and their families will feel the
terrifying impact"
The CIO board called for "imme-
diate upward adjustment" too, OF
pensions, social security payments
and other fixed sources of income to
avoid hunger and homelessness
among disabled veterans. pensioned
widows, aged persons and persons
similarly situated" -

desirable. They were not perfect,
but they were settlements. 1t must
be remembered that all of them
were the result of compromise. The
United States alone could not en-
force its own views in each partic-
ular."
Senator Connally said that it was
inconceivable the Council of For
eign Ministers will arbitrarily dis
regard the recommendations and
decisions of the coming peace con-
ference. He said that he believed
the conference would constitute "a
truly democratic assembly with
freedom of expression and debate"
Byrnes Work Commended.
The work of Secretary of State
Byrnes at the Council meeting was
highly commended by Senator Con-
nally. He pointed out that Mr.
Byrnes had repeatedly demanded the
calling of the peace conference and
also the handling of the Austrian
and German problems. He pointed
out that the peace treaties with the
five nations provide that armies of
occupation must be withdrawn 80
days after the ratification of the
treaties, except for troops necessary
to protect line of communications
This, he said, would mean a long
step toward the resumption of peace
conditions in those countries. He
added:
Whatever success We may have
had at Paris, we must remember
that the 21-nation conference will
be only one step down the long and
rocky road to a final peace. Above
all, we must never lose sight of the
fact that Germany remains far and
away the most important single ele-
ment in the peace settlement. Thus
far we have merely skirted the edges
OF Europe's major peace problem"
Will Fight If Attacked.
All the world, Mr.. Connally said,
knows that the United States wants
to live in peace. But it knows also
that the United States will not re-
fuse to fight when attacked or when
its security is threatened.
The United States must main
tain an adequate Army, highly
trained and properly equipped, said
Mr.. Connally. "It now has the
greatest and moss powerful Navy on
the planet. 1t must continue to
possess such Navy. United States
Air Forces are now superior to any
in the world These forces must be
preserved and maintained"
In order to demonstrate that this
country stands wholeheartedly
back of the United Nations, Senator
Connally said the United States
should "unhesitatingly make avail
able to the Security Council our full
quota of troops, planes and ships
necessary for the maintenance of
peace" He added that this country
should accept compulsory jurisdic-
ton of the International Court of

He explained. that he was in
Washington when the Civil Aero

of the National Air Lines to
operate planes from Tampa to
Key West and thence to Havana
on the ground that Key West
was an Intermediate point, and
that service of that nature is di-
rect.
Immediately after the CAB
denied that petition. Denning
and Cross. attorneys for Ma
tional Airlines. filed an appli-
cation for direct service from
Key West TO Havana. MIR. PapY
said. adding that planes from
Key West will connect with

that the status of the service be-
tween Miami and Key West be
changed from temporary to per-
manent.
