PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 30.-A
New York woman has filed suit
for $1,500,0O0 damages from a
pilot she claims physically forced
her to board his plane shortly
before it crashed at Dracut, Mass.
July II, 194S.
The suit, filed by Gloria Gerst-

named Samuel E. Poole, jr., as de-
fendant. He was described as a
resident of Pennsylvania and hold

some Chinese food.
The New York woman charges

the plane. A few minutes after
taking off the plane crashed into

The plaintiff contends that Mr.

into current American foreign
policy Of encouraging Tito's de-
fiance of Moscow.
Yugoslavia would be able to pay
for the credit, they said, by in
creasing shipments Of strategic
copper, lead. zinc and chrome ore
TO the United States.
This would have a double ad-
vantage for this country:
1t would give Tito the dollars
necessary to repay the loan on in
stallments. plus additional money
to spend In Western markets for
essential foodstuffs and consumer
goods for his people.
And it would increase the stock
pile in the United States of these
strategic minerals - something
that is bound to appeal to the
Secretary of Defense.
Officials emphasized that Secre-
tary Acheson is under no illusions
about Tito or his Communist die
tatorship in Yugoslavia.
But both Mr.. AcheSon and Pres
|ident Truman are reported to be-
lieve that it is vital to keep Tito
alive and his country in fairly
good economic shape. In this way
Tito can serve as a symbol and
reminder to other Eastern Euro
|pean governments that it is pos
sible to break with Moscow and
still exist as an independent
nation.
Western diplomats acknowledge
that this policy involves risks but
they say such risks are necessary
if the United tSates and the West
ern powers are to win the cold
war.
At present they are not worried
about reports of Russian troop
maneuvers in the Balkans or the

statement long after its regular
office hours. Said the Foreign
Office:
President Truman's references
to the forthcoming Anglo-Ameri-
can-Canadian talks in his speech
to the American legion Conven-
ton at Philadelphia are regarded
in London as most helpful and
encouraging for thessuccess Of the
triypartite talks. . -
THE point of view expressed
by the President Is fully appre-
ciated and shared in London"
Truman: We're friends" said
the seven-column banner in the
conservative Daily Mail.
The speech was all the more
gratefully received because Of
growing resentment here over
criticism from America.
The Socialists have been en-
ragged by statements that their
political policies have crippled the
postwar recovery effort.
Britons in general are burned
up by suggestions from abroad
that they are finished as q world
power.

The Times expressed hope that
"the guiding principles which the
President has enunciated for a
constructive approach to world eco

shine bright and clear throughout
the Washington talks"
The conservative Daily Graphic
said:
There has been a good deal Of
useless pickering on both sides Of
the Atlantic. But never once has
a member Of the American Gov

has been just the opposite. and 1t

HAMBURG. Germany. Aug.
3O.-The British military tribunal
trying former German Field Mar
chall Erich Won Manstein on war
crimes charges has decided to
admit diaries kept by German
officers as evidence.
The immediate effect Of the
ruling is that Gen. Franz Halder,
now writing a war history for
the American authorities, is un-
likely to be called as witness
at this stage.
The yefense yesterday argued
that Gen. Halder was alive and
should testify in person instead Of
the court merely hearing a trans
lation of his shorthand notes at
meetings Of German war leaders.
Gen. Halder, keen diariSt. was
formerly chief of staff OF the
German Army.
Today the court continued hear
ing documentary evidence, in
cluding extracts from the diary

who toured the Polish front in
September 1899.
