party fight were noted today by the recollection that in April Dr. Me Conaughy, at Republican gather ing in New Canaan, expressed tacit support of Talbot for Governor and said that he hoped to have the op- portunity this Fall to vote for Joe Talbot and Rep. Clare Boothe Luce for the Senate.
 This gave further argument for observers, who contend that the Me Conaughy candidacy, as formally announced yesterday, is a maneuver on the part of some party leaders. Talbot forces still express conf dence that their man has delegation support sufficient to swing the nomination at the state convention Sept. g and 10 at Hartford's Bush nell Hall.
 Portland and Middletown last night came out for McConaughy, while Union supported Talbot. At Winchester, former State Tax Com missioner William H. Blodgett said his vote would be for Talbot.

Red Marshal Defends Air Sovereignty
 Witnessed Forced
 Landing of Plane;
 BIomes Americans

London, Aug. 2l-(UP)- Marshal Tito, vigorously de- lending Yugoslav aerial sov- ereignty against incursions by American planes, charged today that western reaction ary elements were embarked on a campaign of provocation against Yugoslavia.
 "The fate that the Allied countries have adopted a strange attitude toward Yu- goslavia is the result of prov ocation on the part of certain reactionaries in those coun- tries" Tito said.
 We do not want peace at any price, because we already have paid too dearly for it." Tito said. His speech, made before a workers audience in Yugoslavia yesterday was distributed by the Yugoslav Tanjug News Agency. Will Not Pay More for Peace
 "We want the new peace." he said, but a peace worthy of those who have given the greatest sacri- fee in this war We do not want to pay even a penny more for it. We 1 shall not yield even one inch of the territory that rightfully belongs to us
 We do not want anything that belongs 10 others, but we want our rights to be respected"
 Tito said that he personally wit- messed the incident Aug. when YugoslaV fighters forced down an American transport plane He con- tradicted a statement by U. S. Arn- baSsador Richard c. Patterson, Jr., that the plane had been lost in clouds and wandered over Yugoslavi territory by accident He said his protests against violations had gone unheeded
 Tito warned the Yugoslavs against the new war adventures of the reacuonary imperialistic clique" He told them, however, that the large majority of American and British people want peace.
 Raps Reactionaries Bitterly
 He attacked certain imperialitic great powers" and said certain Allied countries are full of stories of their care for the independence of small nations, for the inviolabil- lty of their frontiers. etc.
 However, in fact, what do they do? They do not observe such principles, even in the case of an Allied country like Yugoslavia."
 We want peace and the best possible relations with all countries -. there can be no question today of two fronts on a line-western and eastern.
 No, the question today is one of extreme democracy versus reaction. There exists reaction in all western countries just as it exists in our own country"
 The question today is of those two fronts: the front of democracy and peace on one hand and the front of reaction and various provocateurS on the other hand. An no case is there question of two fronts on the lines of West against East"

 Haven in U. s. Zone
 For Jews and DPS

Berlin, Aug. 21-CUP)-Gen. Jo- seph T. McNarney, American con- mander in Europe, today publicly rebuked U.NR.R.A. Director F. H. La Guardia and described as base less" La Guardia's charge that American occupation forces had deliberately opposed UNRR.A.'s humanitarian and repatriation work in Germany.
 McNarney pledged continued hav- en in the United States zone for Jewish and other persecuted dis placed persons. He said there prob ably were 100000 Jews still prepar- ing to flee Poland.
 Simultaneously, the American commander revealed at ilews-filled press conference here, that a Rus sian woman spy, "a secret agent of the N.K.V.D.", had been seized month az while in the employ ment of U.NR.R.A He said she was being turned over to Soviet author ities today
 Reports Exaggerated
 McNarney said, however, that re- ports of U.N.R.R.A. serving as an umbrella" for Russian agents and criminal elements engaged in snug gling and dope peddling were "ex- aggerated."
 We know of very few cases of agents of any type who operated under the cloak of U.N.R.R.A.," he said, and only one has been posi- lively identified as an NKVD. agent" He said he was withholding details until the woman-spy was in Soviet hands.
 McNarney said the U.NRRA di- rector had made tn following charges against American occupa- tion forces, and gave the following answers:
 l. That the Army in Germany
 opposes continuation of U.NR.
 RIA. in the field of care and re-
 patriation of displaced persons.
 This statement is baseless and
 incorrect" McNarney said.
 2. What MeNarney described
 as a sheer" at the Army's ef-
 forts to provide 50 to 90 days ra-
 tions for Polish refugees who
 would return to their homes.
 It had beep necessary for oc-
 cupatlon forces to delay carry ing out this program as ordered
 by the Secretary of War because
 of a shortage of food at that
 time D
 3. That the Army was Ire
 luctant" to remove a handful of
 former London Polish liaison of-
 ficers from the American zone
 who had been aiding in handling . Polish displaced persons.
 London Poles Removed
 McNarney said that under an agreement with Warsaw liaison of- flcers, he had been gradually re- moving the London Poles so as not to cause undue excitement in the displaced persons camps. He said the Polish officers had done "yeoman service" and were literally life savers"
 McNarney said that if U.N.R RIA. ceased it's activities on Dec. 31 it would be a serious blow. because We have depended heavily on U.N.R. RIA. for expert and professional ad- ministration of these Misplaced per- SOnS) camps"

 Expect Light Vote
 Attacking the ".ecord" of his op- ponent, MT. Sullivan stated: MT. Wallace says he is running for re- nomination on his record, yet he has failed to present his record pub llcly. The Democratic voters of the 18th District are the judges in today's primary contest. trust their good judgment"

COP Caucuses Leaue Gouernor RotU Open

Indications of a COP convention fight for the gubernatorial nomina- tion seemed doubly apparent today as result of last nights Republican caucuses held throughout the State.
 Delegates for the most part, ac- cording to the caucus results, will attend the September convention at Hartford with open mind as to the makeup of the ticket which will be offered the voters in November.
 Only scattered endorsements ap- peared for both Rep. Joseph T. Tal- bot and former Lt.-Gov. James l.. McConaughy, leading candidates for the party's gubernatorial nomina- tion. Governor Baldwin's candidacy for the U. s. senatorial nomination was unopposed. In Waterbury, Naugatuck and Torrington party d cit ates unanimously endorsed Talbot.

Senotor Egon Expected 10 Seek Office
 No Other Candidates
 Mentioned in 18th

Though State Senator Edward P. Egan of the 18th district has made no announcement of his plans, Democratic party leaders are pro- ceeding on the assumption that he will be a candidate for renomina- tion. The organization appeared ready to back him for another term.
 Thus far no candidates have come forward for the Democratic nomin- ation in the 18th, which is made up of the 21 voting districts in the 1st, 2d and Sd wards.
 Until comparatively recent years the 18th had regularly elected a Republican state senator. Then it began favoring Democrats for the upper chamber of the state legis- lature, with the late Senator George T. Culhane serving several terms The district went Republican again in 1942 when Senator Francis J. Summa defeated Senator Michael V. Blansfield by IS votes.
 Senator Egan, who had previously represented the 16th district in the Senate, was elected from the 18th in 1914, defeating Senator Summa in his bid for a second term.
 An official of the Waterbury Buckle Company, Senator Egan yesterday was named to two-year term on the new five-man State Aeronautics Commission. He is chairman of the Senate,s aviation committee and 8 leading advocate of an airport for Waterbury.

shell for unionisrn to crack.
 There are 30 mills here in the textile and allied trades, of which 19 are large In 12 years of effort, labor has obtained contract with only one, covering approximately 1000 of Greenville County's 10000 textile workers.
 Except for one incident, Green vile has avoided unionization without violence and, after the beginning, by sheer flnesse rather than by show of force.
 The general textile strike called on Labor Day 1894, shut down mills all around. Every plant in Spartan burg was closed. Every one in Greenville stayed open. Between five and six hundred Spartanburg- CTS came over to rectify the situa- tion. SPARTANS RETURN HOME
 At every mill they were met by National Guardsmen, who had moved their State headquarters temporarily to the Poinsett Hotel and were told that they could not enter and that no disorder would be tolerated. They went home peaceably
 Shots fired from inside single mill killed demonstrators, but even that did not create rioting or re- priSal.
 At the beginning of World War H. when prices began to rise, local mills voluntarily increased wages. During the war three elections were held. The C.I.O. won con- tractual rights in the Woodside Mills but lost, by about two-to- one votes, in the almost equally big Brandon and Duncan Mills.
 When the CIO. recently de- manded 15 percent pay boost the operators agreed that they could not comply and remain in business. From Charlotte, N. C., Emil Rieve, head of the T.W.U. announced that he was returning to New York and would call a general textil strike unless the IS percent was granted. Within a few days, one
