The note, signed by Acting Secre- tary of State William L. Clayton, acknowledged Marshal Tito's ex- preSsion of regret for the American deaths but said the United States confidently expects" Yugoslavia to take more concrete steps to right the wrong.
 Suggests Other Foreign Planes
 Specifically, he said, the United States looks for suitable indemni- fication to the families and depend- ents of the unfortunate victims" and to the U. s. Government itself for the property damage.
 In denying Tito's charges that American planes were continuing to make illegal flights over his coun- try, the American note suggested that aircraft of other nations might be trespassing in Yugoslav skies.
 This was regarded as a hint that American lend-lease planes manned by f1iers of other countries were be- ing mistakenly identified as U. 8. Army aircraft.
 Sergeji Makiedo, Yugoslav charge d'affaireS was summoned hurriedly to the State Department last night to receive the American note. However, he cooled his heels in the blue-carpeted diplomatic reception room for a half hour before he was admitted to Claytons office.
 Meeting Cordial
 Makiedo was closeted only briefly with Clayton. He declined to com- ment on the meeting except to say 1t was cordial.
 Some diplomatic quarters felt that the D. s. note, by pressing solely for reparations payments, indicated that this government sees no reason to submit the controversy to the United Nations. However, it was pointed out that the amount Of indemnities may yet be a matter for the international court of jus tice to determine.
 The acting secretary accepted Titos proposal to prevent recur- renee of the incidents by working out set of signals for use between the American and Yugoslav air forces. He urged an early confer ence between military leaders of both countries.

 Talks Break Down
 Negotiations between the Inter- national Brotherhood of Teamsters (AFLO and 2,OO0 trucking com- pany owners over wage demands have broken down and will not be resumed until tomorrow.

 The struck trucking companies normally do all the general trucking in the New York-Jersey City area, delivering cargos from piers and freight terminals to warehouses and stores. Unaffected were businesses which own their own trucks and make their own deliveries.
 The union had agreed to permit long haul trucks bringing food, medicine and essential items to en- ter the city. Groups of strikers sta- tioned on highways leading into the city turned trucks bearing non- essential cargoes away from the city limits.
 Chain Groceries Agree
 Chain groceries reported yester- day that although they had agreed to the, unions demands, truck drivers refused to move supplies from warehouses to stores. How ever, independent grocers said their shelves were full.
 The possibility of a milk shortage developed as the strike halted the shipment of containers to milk companies.

Big Four Summoned To Farley
 Vishinsky Sits
 In for MoIotov;
 Issue Unknown

Paris, Sept. A. tUP) The Big Four convened their second meet ing of the Paris Peace Conference at 4:O5 P. M. G1:05 A. M, E.D.T) today with Andrei Vishinsky repre- senting Russia in place of the ab- sent Foreign Minister V. M. Mol otov.
 The Big Four meeting, it was understood, was summoned at the suggestion of Vishinsky. Rumors had circulated that Molotov was returning for the meeting but had been flatly denied by all responsi- ble quarters long before the session started.
 Secretary of State James F. Byrnes was accompanied to the meeting by Sens. Arthur H. Van- denberg and Tom Connally. Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin represented Britain and Foreign Minister Georges Bidault, who called the meeting, representing France.
 There was no Indication why WShinsky sought the new Big Foul meeting but 1t was believed poSsibls he wished to renew Soviet objec. tions to holding the United Nations General Assembly Sept. 8 as sched- uled concurrent with the continlt- ing Paris Peace Conference.
 May Renew Objections
 Byrnes has not yet written the speech he will deliver at Stuttgart but it was anticipated that he would present a new definition of Ameri- can policy in the Reich based on the American thesis that the four occupying powers have failed to car- " out the terms of the Potsdam Declaration.
 Byrnes has conferred with For eign Secretary Ernest Bevin on the subject and it was presumed that the British and American policy makers were seeking 8 community of views on the subject of German policy. Bevin SlSo conferred with his advisers on German questions.
 The top level moves thrust the routine peace conference operations into the background. The Italian political Commission continued to listen to long -winded speeches on the Italo- o-Yugoslav frontier question. The Military Commission approved minor military points of the Ital- ian peace treaty. The foreign minis ters deputies continued to study the 200 amendments thus far proposed for the Big Four peace theaty drafts. There was no indication of any rapid progress.
 Sen. Tom Conna1ly, (D-Tex0, ap- pealed to members of the Military Commission to cease trying to see how much they could get out of the treaties for themselves.
 We are not acting here in indi- vidual capacities" he said. We are here as ambassadors of the world-as ambassadors of the peo- pie of the world. We are here for a conference of peace and not to see who can obtain the greatest advan- tage."
 He said the United States sought no territorial gains or indemnities.
 ''In demands for territory" Con- nally said, lie the seeds of future wars; in trying to overrun other peoples are the fostering sores that may lead to war"

Provdo Hits M Messersmith In RebuttoI
 U. 5. Ambassador
 Believes Wor With
 Russia Inevitable

Moscow, Sept. + CUP) -PraVda, organ of the Communist Party, to- day launched a full-dress attack against George Messersmith, Ameri- can ambassador to the Argentina, who was characterized as a "poli- tical gangster" for an alleged ad- dress in which he said that war with Russia is inevitable and ap- pealed for Latin American coun- tries to support the United States.
 Pravada quoted Federated Press dispatch as reporting that Messer- smith had delivered an infiamma- tory address to the American Legion post in Buenos Aires.
 Pravda charged, permit themselves such a freedom of speech that even the most desperate gangsters of the Hearst press would find it difficult to compete"
 Questioned His Rights
 The Communist Party newspaper head1ined its attack: 'Ts everything permitted to an American .diplo- mat?" ''
 Messersrnith was quoted as say. ing that the world lay in the shadow of third World War from which the United States would save the world because 1t possesses the atomic bomb"
 "Messersmith stressed in his Soviet Unions expansionism and the threat of Communism through out the world'," Pravda said. Did Messersmith imagine himself to be an irresponsible journalist of the Drew Pearson type?
 'Messhersmith stressed in his speech that he expresses the view point of the State Department He also stressed that his voice in this official agency of the United States is not the last voice by far He is supposed to have said that he ad- vised Secretary of State James Byrnes to take a firm line against the Soviet Union long ago."
 Stresses Stand In Department
 Pravda pointed out that Messer- smith is a veteran career diplomat and that he is not "a man of little significance in the State Depart ment.'
 Tt is very interesting to point out" Pravda said that the official representatives of the State Depart ment neither confirm nor deny the declaration of Messersmith which worthy of political gangster.
 "The question arises is the State Department responsible for the Mes sersmith speech? We think it is."

 Many children who get into trouble in their neighborhoods, at school or at home are normal chil- dren.

State Session Urged ToAsk Voters ToAct
 City Administration
 BIomed for RefusoI
 To Recognize Union
By RAYMOND J. FITZPATRICK

ny MA MONO J. Ell AE A1nANA
 Hartford, Sept. 4-Refusal of the Waterbury city administration to recognize the pohcemen's and fire mems unions as bargaining agents drew threats of political reprisal here today at the 61st annual con- vention of the Connecticut Fedora tion of Labor.
 Decrying the lack of an ordinance which would permit Waterbury en- ployes to join labor unions of their own choosing, Joseph M. Rourke, of New Haven, secretary treasurer of the State Federation, said nj his re- port to the convention today that unless the city administration changes its attitude the issue will be taken directly to the voters.
 Rourke charged that Corporation Counsel Maurice T. Healey display ed "a most unfrinedly attitude" to- ward the adoption of the requested ordinance when labor officials called upon him and Mayor John c. Mon- agan last June.
 Hopes for Cooperation
 T sincerely hope the Mayor of Waterbury will decide to cooperate with the Connecticut Federation of Labor in its request for the pas- sage of such an ordinance" Rouke said. Otherwise we will be forced to take this issue to the voters of the City of Waterbury. Once we do, we shall press the fight with the fullest vigOr."
 The meeting with the city of- ficials in June was attended by Rourke, President Timothy Collins, three officers of the fire-fighters' local in Waterbury, and Leonard Bright, according to the secretary treasurer's report.
 Unfortunately, the corporation counsel displayed 3 most tlnfriendly attitude toward the idea of an or dinance that would encourage city employees to join an organization of their own choosing" the report states.
 The union has received recog- nition in other large cities of the State, including Bridgeport, New Haven, and Hartford. Ordinances there allow city employees, includ- ing policemen and firemen to join labor unions.
