Yugoslavia had filed q complaint
against the United States with the
Security Council over seizure OF
Danubian vessels.
Both Yugoslav and U. N. officials
here said they knew OF no such
complaint to the Security Council.
But they found a Yugoslav appeal
to the Economic and Social Council
on the Danubian shipping deadlock
which had been filed with the secre-
tariat August Is and had been
mislaid in the shuttle of moving
U. N. files to the new headquar-
ters at Lake Success.
From a carbon copy borrowed
from Yugoslav files here it was
determined that Yugoslavia had
asked the Social Council to help her
get back 167 vessels taken off by
the Germans in retreat and now
held in the American zone. 1t did
not mention the United States
specifically.
The Social Council has no such
autonomous powers as the Security
Council holds, but reports its find
ings to the General Assembly.
DR.. Andrija Stampar, Yugoslav
delegate to the u. N. and deputy
chairman of the Social Council, said.
This is not a matter for the Security
Council" He had asked that the
matter be placed on the agenda of

Authorities Deny Wing Dipping
Is Order for Plane to Land

There is no international visual
signal which one aircraft may make
to another to order it to land. civil
and military aviation authorities
agreed today following disclosure
by the pilot of an American plane
forced down over Yugoslayia that
the Yugoslavs had asked him after
his crash landing why he did not
heed such an order.
The Civil Aeronautics Admins
tration fatty denied the existence
OF ANY international air-to-air
visual signals" while Army and
Navy airmen agreed that even such
informal visual aircraft signals as
are used in this country are far
from uniform.
The question of the existence of
such international signals arose
after the pilot of a United States
Army transport plane forced down
by eunflre in Yugoslavia two weeks
ago told interviewers in Italy yes
terday that he did not understand
what two Yugoslav fighter planes
meant when they rocked their wings
at him prior to opening fire.

Whittier Bread Coming;
Grain for Alcohol
To Be Increased 20n

Prefamine variety bread and
flour. are coming back, and the
Nations brewers and distillers
are getting more grain.
This was the word today from the
Agriculture Department, which has
announced relaxation of Govern
ment restrictions on domestic grain
use ordered early this year to make
more grain available for famine re-
lief.
Secretary Anderson said that be-
ginning September millers will be
permitted to halt the production of
dark bread, while distillers will be
allowed 20 per cent increase il
grain over their August ALLEGATIONS.
Backlog of Darker Flour.
Since March l, millers have been
required to extract 80 per cent of
the wheat kernel, but next month
they may go back to the traditional
u per cent extraction rate.
At least several weeks will elapse.
however, before whittier bread and
flour will make their appearance il
stores. Bakers have backlog of
the darker flour on hand and will
have to dispose of it first
These eased restrictions were
made possible, Mr. Anderson said.
by this years record crops of wheat
and corn and by action of the Price
Decontrol Board in re-establishing
ceilings on meat animals. Meat
ceilings are expected to prevent "ex-
cessive' feeding of grain, particu-
larly wheat, to livestock.
The improved grain supply out
look also mace it possible to in
crease this country's grain export
goal for the 1867 marketing year
from 250,000,O00 bushels of wheat
and flour to probable total" Of
40o,000,000 bushels of all grains and
grain products, the Secretary an
inounced.
This compares with 4l7000.00a
bushels exported to shortage areas
aboard during the past season.
Distillers' Allotments.
While millers will be allowed TO
return TO white -four. they still must
limit domestic distribution to 81 per
cent of the quantity distributed in
the corresponding months last year.
Food manufacturers also will still
be limited to the same percentage.
Liquor distillers will be allotted
500, 600 bushels more grain in Sep
tember than in August. Regulations
prohibiting the use of wheat and
higher grades of corn and limiting
the quantities of rye which may be
used by distillers continue in ef-
| feet.
| Makers Of beer and ale will be-
granted 21.5 per cent more grain
in the September November quarter
than they otherwise would have re-
ceived. As a consequence, brewers
will have 85 per cent, instead of the
present 10 per cent. of the grain
they used in corresponding quarters
last year.

Text of YugosIov Letter
Restitution of Danube Shipping Requested
To Stove OFF Greet Economic Dancers

The lack of sufficient coke. coal
and ores has brought home heating
the transport system and the metal
lurgical industry into critical con-
dition. In Yugoslavia more of the
blast furnaces have been compelled
to cease operations. This results
in the unemployment of many
workers whose efforts are urgently
needed in the production of iron
and tools for transport, for in
dustrial reconstruction, and foi
ploughs with which to increase grain
production. The transport system
already devasted, suffered still
further from the lack of suitable
coal: our hospitals were often colo
through lack of coke for central
heating, in the cities. homes are il,
constant danger Of being deprived
Of gas, In addition, Yugoslavia was
unable to send TO Poland ano
CzechosloVakia her surpluses OF
fresh and dried fruits. Furthermore
Yugoslavia was prevented from de-
livering to Poland quantities of tan
min agreed upon, which that country
badly needed to produce gooc
leather.

fIhe Belgrade radio, heard In

tending that Its contents have

ton was said to be based on the
fact that nine occupants of a

were released Thursday before
the ultimatum was received.
However, a 10th occupant of that
plane. a Turkish captain who was
wounded seriously and taken TO
