Navy Reserve Called to Fly
200 Planes From Anocostio

Members of the Naval Reserve in
the Washington area were called in
yesterday to help fly nearly 200
planes away from the Naval Air Sta
ton at Anacostia as precautionary
move to protect them from the At
lantic hurricane. All available avia-
tors were called to ferry the planes
to Harrisburg, Pa, and Buffalo, N. Y
A Navy official explained there is
no immediate hurricane danger in
this area, but that overcast condi-
lions are expected and the Navy does
not want to wait until possible i'm
minent danger because of shortage
of pilots qualified to fly on instru-
ments.
Army planes at Boiling Field were
on a standby status, while prelim-
mary precautions were taken by An
drews Field
The Naval Air Station at Patuxent,
Md, also was on standby warn
ing. At Quantico, Va. the planes
at the Marine Air Base were but
toned up tight" in hangers.
Largest evacuation was from the
Norfolk tVaD area, where about $50
planes were flown to other points.
Yesterday the Coast Guard sent
planes out to sea to warn shipping
of the impending storm. Three
planes notified ships by drop-mes-
sages from Chesapeake Bay to Ss-
vannah, the Coast Guard said.

Gen. Young 10 Seek
Station Smoke Curbs
In Talks With RaiImen

Brig. Gen. Gordon r. Young,
Engineer Commissioner, said yester-
day. following appeals by citizens
groups, he intends to seek abatement
Of the smoke nuisance caused by
railroads using the Washington
Terminal facilities.
Representatives of various citizens
associations want the Commission
ers to hold a public hearing on the
matter. Before such step is taken,
Gen. Young said, however, he in
tends to invite the representatives
of railroads using Union Station to
discuss the problem with him at an
early date
Three Phases Discussed.
Three phases of the smoke prob
lem were discussed at private
meeting with Gen. Young yesterday
afternoon. The delegation Of six
was headed by Calvin C. Harrington,
chairman of the laws and legisla-
ton committee, Brentwood Terrace
Citizens Association. Others pres
ent were Gerald Golfer, president,
Dahlgren Terrace Citizens Associa-
ton: Willard Hall, president, and
Mrs. Mary Kans, secretary, Michi-
gan Park; Mrs. Gilbert Vincent,
president. National Gateway, and j.
I. Gately, president, Brentwood Ter
race.
Now that there has been a slight
increase in the Districts staff of
inspectors, the Engineer Commits
sioner intends to sound out" the
situation in advance of any future
official action. Yesterdays COM
mittee, Gen Young said, was the
most comprehensive group" to pro-
test against conditions which. he
conceded. are largely the result of
necessary slackness of wartime en-
forcement of anti-smoke regula-
tons.
Protests Center Around Station.
Each group considered the smoke
nuisance from individual angles. but
in general, complaints were directed
at conditions around Union Station
and the roundhouse used by all the
railroads. The rather sharp grade
of the Baltimore g. Ohio tracks was
the cause of third complaint. in
view of the locomotives handling
freight and much of the passenger
traffic.
Shortages of anti-smoke machin-
cry and skilled personnel were large
ly responsible for conditions that
have become more accentuated since
Pearl Harbor. The citizens ssso-
Citations in the general area of Union
Station and the B. 81 o. line were
said to feel the time has come when
the Districts anti-smoke law should
be enforced against the railroads.

where Yugoslav troops are to join in
the British-American occupation.
The surprise declaration from the
Yugoslav detachment resulted in an
order by Gen. Airey that the troops
would not enter the city. The Brit
ish general said there were no ac-
commodations in crowded Trieste
for them and the population of the
city had indicated in the last three
days that the entry of the Yueo-
slav troops would result in blood

Referring to the incident at the

Along the new Italian-Yugoslav
frontier, Yugoslav troops set up ma
chine-gun emplacements at several
points as soon as they reached the
limit of their advance.
In only one American outpost
visited by correspondents was a
similar precaution taken. This was
in a sector near Gorilla, where an
Italian road forms corridor for
about 100 yards through a region
which lies within the territory as
signed to Yugoslavia.
American officers at this post said
the Yugoslavs advanced at 100 am.
and gave us five minutes to move

We refused and they came back
three times to repeat the demand,
one of the officers continued. I'VE

strength We mounted a 50-caliber
machine gun on our size of the line
and moved up an armored car
equipped with a 37-mm. gun"
The officer said the Yugoslavs did
not reneY their demands at that
time. but that they brought up a
Russian antitank gun on their side
of the boundary
Later when Maj. Gen. Bryant E.

88th Division, turned Gorilla over
to Italian administration, group
of italian and American troops filed

Soviet Oil Issue SheIved
In Iranian Parliament
Nv the Asxoc;otsd Press

TEHERAN. Sept. l6.-The Iran
ian Parliament opened debate today
which will eliminate with the tax
ing of a vote of confidence in
Premier Ahmed Qavam's cabinet
but the country's hottest issue-the
question of an oil concession to the
Observation-Disclosures on the shelf.
Apparently Mr.. Qavam alone will
decide when to submit to the Parlia
ment the 1916 Soviet-Iranian oil
pact which would give the Russians
the right to exploit the rich oil re-
sources in the north.
That agreement was signed when
Soviet troops were still occupying
Northern Iran, and 1t must be rati-
fled by the Parliament before it can
become effective
For the present Mr.. Qavam and
his new cabinet appeared content
to await the parliamentary decision
on the new legislative program he
submitted Sunday. 1t dealt mainly
with internal problems and made
no mention of oil, the projected
SIS, 100000 military credit by the
United States or the projected loan
from the International Bank-all
high priority problems.
