U. 5. Putting Pressure
On YugosIavs, Soviet
Broadcast Charges
BY tho Assoeioied Press

LONDON. Aug. 26.-Moscow radio
charged today that the United
States was attempting to put pres
sure on Yugoslavia" by display of
military might, including the Medi-
terranean cruise of the aircraft
carrier Franklin D. Roosevelt.
A commentator said last weeks
United States Yugoslav incident
had been inflated" by sensation
mongers and mischief makers" in
Britain and the United States.
This incident would have gone
unnoticed If it had been adjusted
through the usual channels-if an
apology had come from the govern
ment whose plane had violated the
borders of the other government" !"
he added.
"Any one who has watched atten-
lively cannot fail to have noted a
number of facts showing that the
United States is definitely attempt
ing to put pressure on Yugoslavia by
display of her strength and might.
Mediterranean Cruise Cited.
"One of the biggest American air.
craft carriers, the Franklin D. Roose-
welt, has been sent on Mediterra-
mean cruise. The American press
did not spare adjectives or space to
describe the might of this warship.
Another American aircraft car
lrier, four cruisers and seven Destroy
ers were sent to the Mediterranean
earlier.
THE American -Yugoslav incident
offers another open, and rather ugly,
demonstration of the essence and
practice of the power politics which
the Anglo-Saxon countries are be-
coming more and more inclined to
use in their relations with other
countries"
No Information on Turkish Visit.
A United States Navy spokesman
said the itinerary of the Mediter-
ranean task force "in all probability"
would be revised. He said, however,
that he had no information to sup
port rumors that the task force, led
by the Franklin D. Roosevelt, would
visit Smyrna, Turkey.
Despite the official explanation
that the Mediterranean cruise is
for training and good will pur-
poses only. some newspaper ed
itorials have referred to it as a
show of force" to back up Ameri-
can foreign policy in the Mediter-
ranean area.
The latest official word on the
task force was that it would call at
Naples, Malta and then Tangier,
at the Mediterranean western
entrance.
Further information, the Navy
spokesman here said, must come
| from Washington.

New Accusations Made.
Despite compliance by the Yugo-

the United States yesterday.
The ministry asserted that 11O

United States transport was shot
down-and August 20.

Mass Meeting For Thursday
To Consider Ferry Question
Commissioner A. G.. Coop
or Brings News Ferry
Company Wishes Key
West AS Its Location

City Commissioner Albert
Cooper said today that in his
talk with H. c.. Williams presi-
dent of the Gulf Atlantic Trans
portation Company in Jackson
vile last week Mr.. Williams said
that the company was definitely
planning on coming to Key West
but that it could operate from
Miami to Havana on merely
added fuel costs.
The service which is Tor pas
senger and car service is desired
out of Key West, Mr.. Williams
told Mr.. Cooper.
The company wishes Craig
Dock primarily, Mr.. Williams
said and. Mr. Cooper said that
Mr. Williams urged Key West
citizens and civic organizations
to put pressure on the Navy De-
partment for the purpose of
making available to the company
the docks in question.
Second choice of the company
is Porter Dock, Mr.. Cooper said
and if it is necessary the COM
pany will start its service there.
One objection there is the amount
of dredging needed. Mr.. Cooper
said today that if this would be
the only point holding up the
company coming here that the
county and city should get to-
gether and give an amount to-
ward the dredging.
In Havana, Mr.. Williams said
the Cuban government assigned
docking space, converted the
dock according to the company's
specifications with no cost to the
company. The only future cost
will be maintenance of the dock
area by the ferry company.
The company will operate its
own concessions in the area,
Mr.. Williams told Mr.. Cooper,
that the best service will be
rendered tourists. They will en-
ploy from 800 to 400 persons
which are expected to be mostly
from Key West.
Another reason the Craig Dock
area is desired is that it will
afford additional parking space
to the company, Mr.. Cooper said.
At the Saturday night meeting
it was decided by the city to hold
a meeting Thursday at pm.
at the city hall at which the
county commission, Chamber of
Commerce and other interested
organizations may attend to dis
cuSs the matter Mr.. Williams has
been invited to attend the meet
ing.

Vim. V. Albury Points Out
$25O,OOO Beach Bonds Need
Supreme Court Valuation
State ATTORNEY Mincer Will
Appeal Circuit Court
Ruling To Properly
Validate Bonds

Present status of the $3.50, 900
beach bond issue is that it is
awaiting hearing before Judge
Aquilino Lopez, Jr., in CircGSt
Court, Assistant State Attorney
William V. Albury said today.
He revealed that application for
the hearing to be filed was up
to the county.
Mr.. Albury said that in order
for the bonds to be properly
validated that State Attorney
Glenn c. Mincer would appeal
from the Circuit Court ruling as
to valuation of the election
which voted the bond issue. The
appeal would go to the state SUI
preme court.
This appeal is a routine matter
in bond valuations with most of
those purchasing bonds of this
nature requiring that the State
Supreme Court pass on the bonds
validity before they purchase
them, Mr.. Albury said.
The assistant state attorney
paid he has filed his answer
and will contest the issue at the
hearing.
If the bond issue goes through
it will give Monroe county and
Key West a sizeable amount of
beachfront. Today the South
Beach property was purchased
from Mrs, Charlotte Laranaga
and two sisters, who are Sisters
of the Holy Names. The beach
front, which is located at the
southern end of DuvaI street, has
been used as city beach for
many years. 1t is a small beach
but very good. City Manager
Dave King said that he would
have the pier at the foot of Duval
street repaired to complete beach
facilities there. 1t is at present

FACTS ARE OUTLINED CON.
cERNING DREAD DISEASE

Charles E. Smith,. Jr., has beer
named head of a committee in
the current cancer prevention
drive here to contact business
firms throughout Monroe county
to solicit contributions in the
current cancer prevention drive
here.
The business-house drive will
be conducted from today to

tribute are asked to send their
donations to Glenn c. Price
campaign chairman.
Six Startling Facts" about
cancer are of vital concern to
business were outlined today by
Chairman Price in the American
Cancer Society's fund appeal.
The facts are:
/. Cancer threatens to destroy
one of every eight of all execu-
tives, employees and customers.
2. Tremendous hidden losses
are sustained every year because
of cancer, and the losses fall in
a large measure on free, business
and industrial enterprise.
3. During World War II, can
Ger killed more than twice as
many Americans as were killed
or listed as missing in action
Many thousands of these cancer
victims were Soldiers of Pro.
duction".
4. Cancer kills men, too. Elk
elusive of cancer of the breast,
more men than women die OF
cancer.
S. Cancer is a progressively
facilitating disease. Too often
it attacks executives and skilled
workers at the peak of their use
fulness.
"And the sixth, and perhaps
the most important fact of all
is that something can be done
about cancer" Price declared.
Even on the basis of present
medical knowledge, perhaps as
high as so per cent of those of
working age who die of cancer
today could be saved, if through
proper education, they could be
brought to- seek diagnosis and
receive proper treatment in
time. 7 4
Chairman Price declared that
1T has always been true, and
it is especially important tc
demonstrate now that American
business has accepted its respon-
sibilities to the country and the
community. l am confident that
the firms of Monroe county will
make it their business to help
in this fight" he added.
