Belgrade Papers Play Up
Downinq of Greek Plane

BELGRADE, Sept. 7 (P.-Undel
the headline, Brutal Offense or
Yugoslav Territory by Greek Wal
Planes,' all of Belgrade's newspa-
pers published on their front pages
today an account of the incident In
which a Greek plane was forced
down by antiaircraft fire Thursday.
Tanjug, the Yugoslav news agen-
cy, gave this account of the Incl
dent:
On the morning of September S
around $40 o'clock Greek Spit
fire crossed the Yugoslav- Greek
frontier and penetrated Is kilom-
eters C9.3 miles into Yugoslav ter
ritory. This plane said Tanjug
dived over the town of Djevdjeliia
after which Yugoslav antiaircraft
opened fire and brought this plane
down 2 kilometers 1.2 niles from
the frontier at 6 o'clock.
Two other military planes, OF
which one was a Spitfire and the
other a two-motor monoplane, ar
rived from Greece at 7:45, the
Tanjug account continued, and
dived, opening fire on the downed
plane, where Yugoslav guards were
already stationed. The purpose OF
this attack, said Tanjug, was to at
tack units which guarded the plane
and destroy the downed plane in
order to obliterate evidence of vio-
lation of the Yugoslav territory"

Milk Distributors Say
|HaIf-Cent Increase
is Almost Inevitable

A half cent a quart increase in
the price of milk TO consumers in
Washington was described by a dis
tributors' representative today as
almost inevitable"
Edward l.. Koepenick. attorney
for majority of the distributors
here, said the Department of Agri-
culture was prepared to authorize
the increase, but has withheld ac-
ton temporarily pending approval
by President Truman or War Mobili-
zation Director John r. Steelman
The Maryland and Virginia Milk
Producers Association voted this
week in favor of an increase of Is
cents 100 pounds, which would
bring the price to $3.50.
Mr.. Koepenick declared that dis
tributors will have no alternative
but to increase their price a half
cent a quart to consumers" If the
increase to the producers goes into
effect. He said distributors believe
final approval for such move will
be given within few days. The
Department of Agriculture, he said,
recommended an increase for the
producers some time ago.
The expected retail price increase
would be the third since June 1,
when OPA granted a 1-cent in
crease. When subsidies expired with
OPA last June 80 an additional s.
cent increase was put into effect
here.
Distributors still would have to
absorb some of the proposed pro-
ducers' increase If the retail price
were put up only a half cent a
quart, Mr.. Koepenick declared.

PE1PING, Sept. Uniformed
sources at Sino-American truce
headquarters today said Amer
lean officials could be expected
to protest strongly to Generals
simo Chang Kai-shek over the
bombing of a truce team near
Chengteh and the reported
wounding of three Americans.
The Chinese government air
force "all along has been a thorn
in the side'' of executive headquar-
ters, the source said.
Theoretically, the air force should
obey agreements made by tri-
partite headquarters, but actually
1t never has" Tripartite head
quarters comprises American, Chi
nese government and Chinese Com
munist representatives
Unconfirmed Chinese Communist
reports placed casualties in the
Chengteh bombing at 20-including
Americans wounded, l seriously,
and 4 Communists killed The team
had evacuated Chengteh a day or
two before that Jehol Province capi-
tai was captured by government
forces.
The government air force flies
American planes and uses American
bombs, gasoline and supplies.
Violation of Pact Charged.
A headquarters representative
said the government air forces most
fragrant violation of truce agree
ment was the Yunnien incident.
Communist troops, which had be-
seiged Yunnien for nearly nine
months, agreed to permit the Ma
tlonalists to evacuate the city under
directions of truce headquarters.
AS the evacuation began, govern
ment planes strafed the Commu-
nists, who called off the pact.
A rescue team prepared to fly to
Chengteh today to attempt to bring
back the bombed and strafed truce
team. Lack of communications pre-
vented headquarters from obtaining
confirmation or details of the at
tack.
Col. John M. Ferguson, Wichita
Falls, Tex, headed the rescue team
The attacked team was commanded
by Col, J. H. Rustemeyer, Leaven-
worth, Kans. Names of the Ameri-
cans reported wounded were not

had captured the railroad station
and forced all defending troops to
withdraw within the city's wall.
The battle for Kupeikow, strategic
pass through the Great Wall be-
tween Hopen and Jehol provinces,

ment sources said the Nationalists
