Turk Not on u. ). Plane
BY Accident, YugosIay
Official Says in Paris
BY the Assoeioisd Press

PARIS, Aug. %. - An official
Yugoslav spokesman said today the
Turkish officer passenger on the
American transport shot down Au-
gust 9 was being held because his
flight over YugoslaWa was not
accidental
This coincided with a six-word
dispatch from Belgrade to the
French press agency saying Marshal
Tito had decided to reject the
American ultimatum. While some
terms of the ultimatum already had
been met, Secretary of State Byrnes
said the ,Yugoslav affair was "a
pending matter" He added all Of
E6cial United States comment would
come from Washington. =
Sava Kosanovic, the Yugoslav
Ambassador to the United States
and member of his country's peace
delegation here, said in statement:
LAS has been announced "a hours
before the American note was
handed Yugoslavia the passengers
and the members OF the United
States transport have been re-
leased, with the exception of a
Turkish officer, whose fight over
Yugoslavia-as the investigation has
shown-was not accidental.
Turk Seriously Wounded.
The Turk, said by the pilot of
the plane to be captain but other
wise unidentified, previously had
been reported by the Yugoslavs to
be in hospital at Ljubljana. He
was seriously wounded when the
plane was shot down.
Mr.. Kosanovic's reference to re-
lease of the other nine crewmen
and passengers of the plane "24
hours before the American note
was. handed Yugoslavia" was the
first indication that the Yugoslav
government contends it did not
receive the State Department ulti-
matum until today.
The Belgrade radio announced in
a broadcast heard in London at
IL pm. (6 pm. Eastern standard
time) yesterday that the nine flyers
and passengers had been released.
Mr.. Kosanovic charged that "re-
cent events in which American air.
craft over Yugoslav territory were
involved-30 miles inside Yugoslayia
are a result of the tense atmos-
phere which is being deliberately
maintained from some quarters, in
order to make it possible for an ex-
plosion to occur
"Yugoslavs Desire Peace"
THE psychosis which is being
created in the world by certain
circles and is meeting with the sup
port OF those who have lost the war
and whose only hope lies in a third
World War can be eliminated only
by means of sincere and clear rela-
tions among the great powers" he
said
I'VE Yugoslavs desire peace. We
have never been guilty of provoking
war. We have always only defend
ed ourselves.
I'VE ask the American people, for
whom We have always had feelings
OF sincere and deep friendship, to
show us understanding and impair
tiality and to avoid drawing erron-
eous conclusions which are contrary
to the fundamental principles for
which We fought together.

be allowed to serve the designs of

Yielding by Yugoslavs'
Cheers u. n. Council
Brazilian Attacks Reds
BY The kssoeio.sd Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-Security
Council delegates were cheered and
somewhat relieved today over Yugo-
slavia's reaction to the American
ultimatum. which promised to save
the Council from involvement in a
heated issue that might well have
worsened relations among the
United Nations.
Grave tension between Moscow
and the Western Powers was reflect
ed, however, in statement from
the Brazilian delegate sternly de-
nouncing Russian and 'all her sat-
elites" including Yugoslavia, for
using what he called Nazi-Fascist
tactics.
The public statement from DR.
Pedro Leao Velloso, who seldom
speaks up in council and once pref
aced brief address with the re-
mark that he Is a man of few words
was redraft of one he had pre-
pared before learning last. night
how the Tito regime had reacted
to the American demands.
Calls Attitude Unjustified.
The Brazilian expressed his hope
that Premier Tito would fulfill all
the conditions laid down by Wash
ington.
However" he added, "the atti-
tude of the Yugoslav military au-
thorities has no justification in
peacetime between friendly coun-
tries.
UNFORTUNATELY the Soviet Union
and her satellites have adopted in
words and deeds the same aggressive
methods Of the one-time Nazi- -Fas-
cist states.
THE incident that arose between
Yugoslavia and the United States
is a regrettable consequence of these
methods"

comment, but they were reported

Mexican Delegate Luis Padills
Nervo expressed the hope that the
Yugoslav incident would be CLOSED
by bi-lateral settlement, but point
ed out that the Council always ha.
the right to pry into a case brought
to its attention.
1t was conceded that the greatest
embarrassment would occur If the
dispute should result in q new test
Of the veto power vested in the Big
Five members of the Council.
Russia, as supporter Of Yugo-
slavia, could use her veto to block
all efforts to bring forth any de-

That would lead to the same sort

AAF

Other phases of this stream -lining'
program for the permanent AAF
may be seriously jeopardized by the
latest economy move. Officials were
particularly worried, 1t was learned,
about the Air Reserves and Ma
tional Guard programs which are
just beginning to be launched and
require encouragement to build UP
to proper proportions
A "heavy reduction" in the num-
Der of air shows and demonstra-
tions also will be necessary, Gen.
Spaatz reminded. These demon
strations. especially in the scien-
tific field of aviation, are costly
but important in the development
of new methods of aerial warfare.
Future reductions in the civilian
technicians attached to the Army
Ground Forces, it was feared,
would result in a decided setback
to the development of new ordnance
weapons.

military, and the procedure is not
to be repeated"
In response to another question,
the Yugoslav Premier said he
thought American planes had de-
liberately infringed on Yugoslav
frontiers "to create the impression
among Yugoslavs that the forces of
the United States Government are
so overwhelming that the Yugoslav
government must take everything. ="
He said this was especially shown

a speech to Yugoslav workers, Tito
also complained of whole squad

Cites Fortress Appearance.
His response to the correspon-
dents inquiry said the appearance
over Ljubljana of a Flying Fortress
only few days after the first Amer
lean craft was shot down was "a
pure demonstration" of his thesis
The correspondents questions were
presented to Tito during the con-
ference with Mr.. Patterson, who re-
fused to make any report on the
meeting.
Members of Mr. Patterson's party
said it was obvious that Tito would
make no written answer to the
lengthy American ultimatum with
out considerable further study. He
was said to have interrupted the
reading of the ultimatum several
times to comment on various points.
Embassy officials who accom-
panied Mr.. Patterson to the confer
ence expressed satisfaction at the
talk and commented that the door
has been left open for further con-
ferences.'
They said that during the confer
ence Tito, attired in a blue-gold
uniform, complimented Capt. Will
liam Crombie, pilot of the plane
downed August 9, by saying: 1T is
obvious that the pilot was very
sklllful" Tito witnessed the down.
ing of the ship.
Replies to Other Questions.
Tito's response to other questions
submitted by the newspapermen
were as follows:
@. How can agreement be
reached between American and Yu-
goslavia so that American planes off
their course, or in distress, can re-
ceive courtesies of the air?
A. 1T should be easy to arrange
specific signals to be given in case
of planes in distress or lost or forced
by bad weather into Yugoslav terri
tory"
@. What is the interna tionally
recognized signal to land and what
countries use it?"
Tito said he did not know but
thought the signal was ito dip one

was no recognition of the wing.
