CHETNIK LEADER J
DENIES CHARGES
Tito Court Refuses Plea To
Hear AmericanFliers'
Telegram

BELGRADE, June 19.-(P-Gen.
Draja Mihailovic Wednesday de-
MED the testimony of n of his
lieutenants that he had personally
ordered the first Chetnik attack
against Marshal Tito's Partisan
troops, and had ordered coopera-
ton with enemy occupation forces.
Mihailovic made the denial in a
face-to-face encounter with the
lieutenant, Milos Glisic, after the
defense attorney had again APP
pealed for permission for Amerl-
can filters to testify on behalf OF
the Chetnik leader.
The court, however, interrupted
the attorneys reading of a tele-
gram from New York from the
Committee for the Defense of
Mihailovic. The Attorney. Draglc
Joksimovic, also asked that all
evidence and reports on the trial
be made available for the defense,
but the court did not rule immed-
lately on this motion.
The court ordered Mihailovic to
face Glisic while Glisic repeated
testimony that Mihailovic had or
dered cooperation by Glisic's unit
in Sandjak with the Germans
through the Yugoslav puppet gov
eminent and had ordered the first
Chetnik attack against Tito's forces.

The complete plan should be ap-
proved by Washington, D.. c., head
quarters by about July /, he said,
at which time advertisements for
bids on the 81, 1000, 900 contract will
be made.
Starts At Castle Street
The huge task of dredging the
channel to 30 feet deep and 400
feet wide will start at the foot of
Castle street and be carried out
in n long sweep to the sea,
Hewitt said.
In all probability, he said, n
dredge will be assigned to the job
since the entire ST, 900, 900 contract
will be let to one contractor.
'It must be remembered"
Hewitt explained, "that the 81, OO0,-
900 appropriation we now have will
not actually cover the expense of
the entire project. By using one
dredge. and doing a thorough
workmanlike job, the $1, 0O0, 900
should carry us through the entire
fiscal year OF 1946-47. Then, by
July /, 1947, we hope TO have an
other congressional appropriation
on hand-perhaps another ST, OoO,-
OoO-to carry the project through
to completion"

When completed, the enlarged
channel will greatly accelerate
shipping In and out Of Whining

depth, modern deep-draft tankers
