HERB HOOVER GIVING OUT GOOD ADVICE
Several Conclusions Are Reached on World Tour
 -Hits at Russia

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 13.-In a world dominated by fear and illustration" the United States should conserve its economic re- sources, keep our powder dry" and cooperate with the United Nations "to maintain peace" ex-President Herbert Hoovers cautioned today.
 In a birthday statement issued on his arrival here from inspecting mining properties near Pioche Nev., where he became 72 years old Saturday. the only living ex-Presi- dent of the U. S. cited the differ ences between the period follow ing World War I and the present
 The dominant note in the world a year after World War I was hope and confidence" he said. To-day it is fear and illustration"
 Hoover took occasion before leav- ing on a mountain trip with his son Allen, to score what he regards as Russian designs on Manchuria and areas adjacent to the Soviet Union.
 HOLT ATOMIC BOMB
 He urged the U. s. to stop play ing Santa Claus" with the nations resources, hold the atomic bomt until there is real cooperation fol lasting peace,' and lat all times assert the principles of the Atlantic Charter"
 During his world tour to study famine conditions, taken at the be- hest of President Truman, Hoover said he reached several conclu- sions besides the food situation in recent conversations with tor officials and other citizens in & states"
 Continuing his comparison oi the two postwar periods, Hoover saie far fewer nations" have freedom than 25 years ago and perdictec another world explosion" from at tempts to reduce the German peo- pie to level of perpetual poverty.
 HITS AT RUSSIA
 Today there is universal de sire in all nations except Russia tt make peace" Hoover said. NY own impression is that Russia i obstructing (peace) to gain tim' for elimination of all non-Com munistic clements and thus - tn; consolidation and practical absorp' tion of those areas beind the iror curtain and Manchuria.
 "Her CRussia's) invigorated fiftl columns in every country add t' confusion. The rest of the work is rapidly concentrating it's fear and consequently it's animositie toward her.

 DivuIge Where Memo
 US. GAY Are Intefned

BELGRADE, Aug. 13-U. s. State Department officials encountered a veil of silence today in their at- tempts to learn the whereabouts of the occupants of an American C-47 Army transport plane whc have been held incommunicado by Yugoslav authorities since their ship was forced down near Ljubl jana by Yugoslav fighters last Fri day.
 Harold A. Shantz, charge d'Affairs in the U. s. Embassy said that a Yugoslav officer in charge at the scene of the crash landing had re- flushed to tell the American consul at Zagreb, where the occupants of the plane had been interned.
 We have been given no indica- tion as to when they will Ea re- leased" said Shantz.
 Mystery still surrounded the cir cumstances under which the plane was grounded There was no au- thoritative information today as tc whether the transport was forced down by aerial maneuvering by Yugoslav fighter plants or by act ual gunfire.
 The consul from zagreb was re fused permission yesterday to see the interned passengers or crew members, or visw the plane at clese range.

VIENNA.
My dear daughter:

l3 My Qear daughter
 I am in the old and once beau- tiful city of Vienna, and beng here makes me feel old myself and reminiscent This was once the gayest and most frivolous capital in the world. Your grandfather, Count Gizycki lived here for a time and when he died he request ed in his will that he be buried 1n his red hunting jacket. That perhaps, was symbolic of those carefree, never-to- forgotten days of the Hapsburgs when very privileged few rode to hounds, danced in great castles along the Danube, and enjoyed life at the expense of the unprivileged thousands.
 Vienna holds many memories for me. I was first here in 1920, short ly after the last war, when the city was being footed by the Italians but was still relatively gay. The Viennese seemed able to smile, the cafes were crowded, the opera was in full swing and I had a mar velous time. I even fell in love t --------

JE W5 EvI(TED iAS PALESTINE
 BLOCKADE SET.
Arabs Hail Ban . British Say Civil War Threat
 ems Holy Land

LONDON, Aug l3-Britain seal ed off Palestine today against H. legal Jewish immigration, clamped a rigid curfew on the tense Port of Haifa and began transporting uncertified Jewish refugees waiting to enter the Hcly Land to intern ment camps in Cyprus.
 Capping long series of diplo- matlc, military and naval measures intended to check the flow of ille- gal immigrants from Europe to Palestine, the British last night an- nounced total blockade to bar them in the future, declaring that civil war threatened the Holy Land.
 Coupled with the governments announced intention to shift to Cyprus the terminus of ''the un- delground railway to Palestine" was an accusation that highly organized, Zionist financed organ ization planned and assisted in the movement of refugees, thereby at- tempting "to force the hand of the British government" in future Pal cstine policy.
 Jewish Reaction
 Jewish reaction was prompt and bitter. One Jewish leader predicted the step would cause much more suffering--but it won't stop the stream of immigrants.'
 The British press soberly express cd unqualified approval of the move, and appealed again for Am- erican aid in solving the explosive problems of the Holy Land Arab leaders hailed the announcement as good news"

Rumania Seeking Repdrd. tions-Tribufe 10 Italy
 Ethiopian Talks

PARIS, Aug. 13-Rumania, the first of the Soviet-conquered Ger man satellites to address the peace conference, proposed today that she receive separations from her form CT alliss, Germany and Hungary.
 George Tatarescu, Rumanian Vice Premier, also lauded Rurlia s claims of $500 100000 separations against Rumania as moderate, and opposed proposals of the Western Allies on economic phases of the draft treaty of peace for Rumania.
 Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov told the conference that although Italy bears a tremendous respon- sibility" that "does not mean that Italy should lcse her importance as a power in the Mediterranean. /" Speaking, in response to pleas for lenieney expressed Saturday by Pre- mier Alcide de Gasperi of Italy, Molotov paid tribute to the ''his- tcric services rendered by Italy He said the Soviet people were confident for tEe future Of Italy as a great country"
 He added however, that de Gas peris address was an attempt to evade the fundamental problems of Italys democratic resurgence."
 The head of the Italian delega- tion failed to condemn Fascism. He failed to make a single remark against tie work of Mussolini," Molotov declared.
 CHARGES MADE
 Molotov charged that certain powers are trying to gain power in the Mediterranean at the ex- pense of Italy and France" and said both countries should feel re- sponsibility as Mediterranean states"
 The head Ethiopian delegate, Ato Akilou Habte Wold, following Molo- toy, answered the applause which greeted him with the remark: At this touching moment I can not help remembering another scene in which Italian. Fascists hissed the Monarch before the League of Ma tions."
 GHe referred to the occasion when l Emperor Halle Selassie made a personal appeal before the League at Geneva in vain protest against the Italian invasion of Ethiopia in l939)
 i In his five-minute address the Ethiopian delegate recalled that Italy used Eritrea and Somaliland as bases for her attack against Ethiopria."
 PROMISES MADE
 He said Allied troops during the war told natives of those countries
