Greeks 10 Complain
10 U. n. on Alleged
Frontier Violations
By the Assoeiotsd Press

ATHENS. Nov. Resources close
to Premier Constantin TsaIdaris
said today the Greek government
has decided to make complaint to
the United Nations Security Coun-
Gil regarding alleged violations OF
the northern frontiers. Tsaldaris
will personally present the case be-
fore the U. NJ, it was, said.
This source said the Greek gov
ernment had been reluctant to raise
new issues between Russia and the
Western allies. and for that reason
there had been a delay in making
the complaint, but the government
now feels it Is compelled to make
representations In the interests OF
continued peace.
Denies End Of Slav Relations.
A Foreign Office spokesman fatty
denied a Bern radio report that
Yugoslavia had broken off relations
with Greece, but said the Belgrade
Foreign Office had called attention
of the Greek minister there to re-
ports Greek planes few over Yugo-
slav territory during the recent bat
tie of Skra.
The spokesman said the Yugoslav
foreign Office had made a mod
crate protest which would be in
vestigated and If it proved true
that there had been violations, the
case would be called to the atten-
ton OF military authorities.
Greek Spitflres were thrown into
the eight-day battle In the Skrs
area a few days ago when action

The Yugoslav Foreign Office
In Belgrade said it had handed
two notes to the Greek minister
energetically protesting aggres-
sive acts by Greek planes" but
the Greek minister told reporters
he had only "been informed in
formally by a representative of
the Yugoslav Foreign ONCE Of
the incident and Of the Yugo-
slav governments protest"
The Yugoslavs said their Sec
ond note demanded that Greece
take action to insure that rough
relations and provocative actions
by the Greek air force do not
happen again" Greek planes
were alleged to have machine
gunned Yugoslav frontier posts
eight times.
The reported Greek decision tc
complain to the United Nations fol-
lowed several consultations between
Tsaldaris and the British and United
States Embassies. The Greeks an
nounced an intention several weeks
ago to lodge complaint but were
dissuaded, 1t was reported, by the
British and Americans who felt the
Greeks had insufficient facts.

Brig. Gen. Ralph Tate, deputy
commanding general of United
States forces in Austria, said his
son, Capt. Ralph Tate, jr., the pilot
Of the plane, had advised him that
all had survived the ordeal of four
freezing nights. Mrs. Tate, wife
Of the general and mother of the
pilot, also was passenger.
1--WE don't know how many are
injured or how seriously" Gen. Tate
said, "but in any event we can't
expect any Of them down here be-
fore tomorrow"
After they are brought to Meirin-
gen they will be placed on special

they will be taken to an Army hospi-
tai in Munich" he said. "They

days now and undoubtedly are suf-

Directing the operations for the
United States Army is Brig. Gen.
Ralph Snavely, whose wife also is

about 100 feet from the highest
range of the Gauli glacier, in a
pocket three miles southeast OF the
-, ,149-foot Wetternhorn and Is
miles northeast of the 13,670-foot
Jungfrau.
Passengers Out in Sun.
Today was clear and sunny, and
pilots Of planes circling the spot said
some of the passengers were seen
summing themselves.
Other pilots who flew over the
scene reported that fire had been
started by the passengers near the
door OF the plane. They said the
plane did not appear to have been
smashed, and its wingtip and fuse
lage were clearly visible. 1t had
apparently pancaked on the ice.
Two or three of the passengers
waved at the planes overhead.
The rescue party resembled
huge snake as its members, roped
to each other, picked their way over
the treacherous glacier. New snow
covered many crevasses on which
the mountaineers ventured at the
risk Of their lives.
Slow Process of Climbing.
The leads man worked his way
forward, sometimes crawling on his
stomach, while his companions dug
in to hold him with the rope in the
event the snow gave way. When
the lead man reached the end OF his
rope he dug in and waited until
the No. man followed. The move
ment was repeated until the entire
group was pulled forward.
Gen. Snavely said the plane was
reached by the vanguard of the
Alpinists at 2:21 pm. (8:21 am.

Youths Trained
In Electricity
Through REA

Colored youths in some rural
schools are learning about electric
ity-how it works, what it can do,
and how to repair electrical appli-
ances, say officials of the Rural
Identification Administration of
the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture.
One such school is the Dinwiddie
Training School at Dinwiddie, Va.
Here students repair electrical ap-
planes which farmers bring to
the school shop. The shop instruc-
tor, Wellington A. Hill, not only
teaches the students how to repair
electrical equipment, but he also
er 0urages farmers to bring their
b EN- appliances to the shop for
air instead of letting them lie
around the house or throwing them
away
First year students at the school
are taught unit in fundamentals
and uses of electricity. In this
course. the students learn about
fuses, switch boxes, connections, and
other equipment that bring cleo
tricity to farms A more detailed
two-year course in these fundamen-
tails is offered to boys during their
third and fourth years of high
school. In this course, students also
are taught the history and theory
of electricity and some fundamen-
tails Of radio.
During the fourth year special
emphasis is placed on practical ap-
plications. Students begin by work
ing on practice jobs in the shop.
Then after they have gained suf-
ficient knowledge and experience.
they are sent out to work on house
wiring and other jobs in the COM
munity.
REA officials point out that such
training in electricity as is given
in the Dinwiddie school and other
schools is one result of the expand
ing program of the Southside Elec-
trio Cooperative of Crewe, Va. This
is one of 900 EA-financed COOP
eratives in America that are bring
ing electricity to thousands of rur-
al families and institutions that
have never had it before.
Southside coop officials say that
they plan to expand until every
farmer, and all the rural schools,
and churches in their territory are
served. They point out that the
training received by the youths of
the DinWiddie school and other
schools will help achieve this pHr-
pose, because rural people with
skills in electricity can help with
the wiring of homes and the repair
ing of equipment and appliances
