Spokesman in London 7 ell:
Of Accusation in Note
Delivered Lost Moy
By the Associated Press

/ LONDON, Aug. pa Yugo-
slav source today said his gov
ernment in a note to Washing
ton last May accused the United
States of exerting political
pressure" to obtain Marshal
Tito's support for International
ization of the Danube.
A Yugoslav note interpreted
American refusal to release Yugo-
slav shipping tied up in the Ameri-
can zone of the Danube as 'politi-
cal pressure" he reported, and said
Yugoslavia would take all steps
to defend her interests"
Yugoslav spokesmen disclosed
yesterday that their country had re-
quested the United Nations Eco
nomic and Security Council to help
in getting back the vessels. The
document was filed before the
United States delivered its ultima
tum concerning the shooting down
of its planes.
Lost Productivity Cited.
The Yugoslav said American re-
tention of 173 units of Yugoslavia' s
Danube feet had cost $4,000, ,00C
in lost productivity. He said Ameri-
can authorities in Vienna had in
formed Yugoslav representatives
the issue was closely connected with
the problem of Observation-Disclosures
of the Danube.
The American authorities added
the informant continued, that il
would be "a good thing if the Yugo-
slav government supported the
American plan" for the interna-
tionalization of the Danube.
The question of freedom of navi.
cation of the Danube is one Of
the unsettled Issues which the For.
eign Ministers Council left for tht
Paris Peace Conference.
No Reply From Britain.
The informant said the Yugosla'
government had advised Britain o.
these exchanges and requested
Britain's good services" in the mat
ter, but had received no reply.
The British foreign office said i
was aware of the exchange, bu
could not disclose whether an.
: action had been taken.
The Yugoslav informant declared
several of the Yugoslav ships hat
capsized through American neglect
When On several occasions tn,
Yugoslavs asked the Americans t.

BY the Assoeioied Press

~ NV HsSSSiA'eo ffeSS
Acting Secretary of State Ache
son received heay file of official
reports from Yugoslavia today
as time ran short-or possibly
expired - under the 48-hour
American ultimatum over the
forced downing of two Army
transport planes.
The State Department at II am
still refused to say when the ulti-
matum expired, or will expire. An
Associated Press dispatch from Bel
grade estimated that the 48 hours
had begun between $3.50 and II 80
am. EST Thursday so that the
period would be expected to run
out at least by noon today
Three Questions Studied.
On the basis of reports from AM
bassador Richard C. Patterson and
other American diplomats in Yugo-
slaVia, Mr.. Acheson, who is in regu-
lar contact with Secretary of State
Byrnes and President Truman, was
expected to try to determine
answers to these questions:
l. The exact expiration time of
the ultimatum.
2. The extent to which the Tito
government has complied or is COM
plying with the demand that all
survivors Of the two planes-one
shot down and the other forced
down-be accounted for and re-
leased.
8. The next move OF the United
States Government particularly as
TO whether it should take the Yugo-
slav case to the United Nations
Security Council or limit actions
to further direct insistence that
Tito make redress for any loss OF
lives and property.
Flights to Be Resumed.
Meanwhile. 1t was reported that
the Government is planning prompt
resumption of Army flights in the
vicinity of Yugoslavia which were
suspended after the American
planes were shot down but this
time they will be under armed
protection, informants said.
Three possible types of armed
protection were foreseen for the
planes which would have to fly
anywhere near Yugoslavia but un.
der strict orders not to cross it,
borders. They could be given fighter
escorts, unarmed transport aircraft
could be armed or some kind OF
combat aircraft already armed coule
be diverted to transport purposes.

Dear Mr.. Stump:

1 am borrowing this column from
my good friend. lit Upshur today to
get a little matter straight, You know
when a man loses his name he has
lost about the first and last thing
he possesses.
It's not a bit unusual when a man
is given a name by his family, he
tries to keep it unless something de-
velops that forces him to adopt an
alias. So far that has not happened
to me.
So when I tell fellows my name Is
Tom Shepherd, they ask me how
to spell it. I always tell them like
a regular shepherd. "Oh, yes" they
say. "Sheard."
NO" / reply, "think of the Good
Shepherd" They apologize nicely
and say again "Oh-Shepheard."
Again I have to say no and quickly
they add: "You use two p's-Shep-
pard."
Just about the time / think we
have gotten that little matter
straight here comes a letter address,
ed to Tom Chipert. First thing !
know I won't know who I am my
self.
1t looks like with all the names
I've been given / would not kick
but ! still prefer the first name I
ever had-Tom Shepherd, and /
still spell it that way.-Greenwood
Commonwealth.

Men of many nations are passing

They watch their step and their pro-

There is a sound of music in the

Deep rich voices Of men are singing
there
God of the nations to Thee do we
cry
Let us feel that Thou art standing
by.
God of the nations we cry to Thee
Thou are help and comfort be
We cry to Thee for we know
Thou are just
