|YugosIavia Accuses
; Powers Of Failing 70
Seize War Criminals
By The Assoeiofsd Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Oct. 11.-Yugo-
slavia yesterday accused the United
States, Britain and France of fail
ure to arrest war criminals in their
occupation zones of Europe and re-
turn them for trial to the countries
in which their crimes were COM
mitted.
The United States Immediately
denied the charge and, in counter
charge, asserted that Soviet-sphere
countries deliberately confused wal
criminals with political dissidents.
The subject of war criminals was
brought before the United Nations
Assembly's 57-nation Legal Commit.
tee by Sava Kosanovic of Yugoslavia
who presented resolution calling
on members of the world organiza-
ton to take Immediately and with
out delay all necessary measures fol-
the apprehension and immediate ex-
tradition Of such criminals in their
respective territories"
Escapes Charged.
Mr.. Kosanovic said certain" war
criminals had contrived to escape to
certain" states, and specifically ac-
cused the United States, Britain and
France of failure to carry out the
extradition Of war criminals.
He told the committee that "the
governments of the same United Ma
tions with whom we fought against
these criminals are showing their
disposition to forget their solemn
pledges and duties toward JUS
tice ="
The Yugoslav delegate proposed
that the committee "reaf1rm" the
principles Of a General Assembly
resolution adopted at London Feb.
ruary 1s, 1916. which states thai
war criminals have to be arrested
and sent back to the countries ir
which their crimes were committed
In order that they may be judged
and punished according to the laws
of those countries"
u. s. Cites Actions.
Charles Fahy, American repre-
sentative of the committee, answered
Evening star., 1947-10-11

that, contrary to Mr. Kosanovic' S
charge, the United States has been
more vigorous and continuous" in
prosecuting and Furnishing war
criminals than any other govern
ment. He added that there are no
automatic political convictions in
our trials"
At one point during Mr.. Fahy's
speech, Mr.. Kosanovic interrupted
the American representative and
shouted:
"You are accusing Yugoslavia Of
war crimes!"
Mr.. Fahy termed Mr.. Kosanovic's
charges "unfounded," and said:
Charges that the United States
has failed to deliver war criminals.
Quislings and traitors to the coun-
tries of origin have been made before.
They may be made again. But as
sertion and repetition of such charges
do not constitute evidence of their
validity
The American representative said
the term war criminal in the
Yugoslav charges was misused.

Coach Art Zahn didn't learn much

their season by beating the Quantico

use his entire squad, giving some
of the newcomers a workout in COM

be 50 tough that zahn had to use
his top men all the way.
The Quantico teams always have
been tough to beat on their nome

Quantico, which plays Long Is

second game of 50 this season, has
an aggregation of former schoolboy
and college stars that will make it
rough going for its q collegiate op-
ponents. And the Marines appeared
in better condition than previous
years.
The Colonials did not have a
player who made 10 points but
eight men broke into the scoring on
the starless but balanced club. Bill
Cantwell and Phil McNiff made
eight points each with Hal Waldrop

SpeeioI Dispatch TO The Stor

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-The Wash

unexpected cellar dwellers in the

the New York Knickerbockers, 1852,
before turnout Of $500 at Madison
Square Garden last night and are
headed for Wednesdays game at
Chicago with high hopes that they
are out of their slump. -..
1t was excellent scoring from
several members Of last years team,
notably Bones Mckinney and Bob
Ferrick, that made the difference
last night. Both scored 13 points,
although they saw action only about
half the time. Another major factor
was Fred Scholars defensive play.
He also contributed to the point
getting with four baskets and foul
shot
The Caps controlled the back
boards. and the game, most of the
time. They particularly had a mid
game hot streak that started in the
second period and carried over into
the third during which they boosted
their margin to 57-35 at one point.
The Knicks bounced back and were
only eight points behind with 2
minutes remaining, but the Caps
frightened their defenses and won
handily.

Moore thought Bob Waterdeld

kick field goals and tackle pretty
well.
Riley Smith, the old Redskin,

White could run like q deer but
that was about all.
CLARK certainly had 1t on

as the Bronx was, he wasn't IN
Dutch's class. But Ernie Nevers
might have been the greatest OF
them all. I played against him
when he was fading out OF pro
ball and he was pretty good
then"
Nevers was called greater than
Jim Thorpe by Pop Warner. who
coached both. But Warner later
called Dave Smuckler Of Temple
better than either, so you'll have
to draw your own conclusion.

IT think Ray was more sur

Edwards, recalling the time Ray
Flaherty, then head coach of the
Redskins, slapped $25 fine on
Halfback Erny Pinckert for fail
ing to observe the curfew.
IT don't remember what Erny
was celebrating, but he had a
couple of the boys visiting in his
room after the 10 o'clock dead
line, and whatever it was, it was
important to him because he
called downstairs for a bottle
of champagne. Ray was making
a bed check about that time and
when he raped on the door,
Erny, who was carrying on con-

Pinckert, the greatest blocking

told of his football escapades.

it's Jimmy Cooper, a 19-year -old
colored boy who weighs only 122
pounds.
Jimmy has had only four fights,
but in those he's shown everything
the fans like. He's fast and smart
he boxes nicely, he hits exception
ally hard for so light a fighter, and
he can take it. He demonstrated
all those fight game virtues last
night while winning technical
knockout over Puggy King, another
tough little local boy, in the fourth
round of a scheduled eight.
Cooper survived a stiff first-round
battering from King, who has stop
ped five other opponents in the first
heat, and came back to carry the
fight to his opponent thereafter
