retary of State Acheson in Wash
ington next week.
British officials have been study
ing how they can quietly support
Premier Marshal Tito's govern
ment in it's quarrel with Russia
and her satellites, the informants
said.
New Blast by Soviet.
This outlook of support for Tito
comes at the time of Russia S
latest blast against Tito. In a
note yesterday the Russians &C
cused the Yugoslav leader and
his lieutenants of being deserters,
double dealers and stooges OF
Western masters"
One way the Western powers
could break up Tito's feud with
Russia would be the shipment Of
needed arms to Yugoslavia. The
shipment of such supplies to Yugo-
slavia has been halted by the
countries of the Cominform.
Yugoslavia, it is believed. has
asked the Western powers for We
hicles, light armor and small arms.
Informants said the Western pow
ers would like to help Tito defy
the Cominform.
If Yugoslavia can survive as an
independent state, without ties to
the East or West. the informants
point out, an important precedent
will have been set for other Com
munist-led countries.
Eighth Note in Exchange.
The newest Moscow note to Bel
grade, the eighth in the name call
ing contest between the two Com
munist capitals, informed Tito and
his supporters they cannot expect
courtesy and even less so respect
from the Soviet government"
1t described the Tito regime as
a puppy feeling so good she's
barking at an elephant"
Russia said the latest note was
sent mot to convince the Yugo-
slav government, which has long
been living without convictions,
and works only on instructions Of
its Western masters. but in order
to unmask it and help the peoples
of Yugoslavia see the true face of
the present Yugoslav govern
ment."
The western masters" were
not named but the Soviet press
has said that the YugoSlav gov
ernment is under United States
and British influence.

Major Importance in Note

MOSCOW, Aug. 81 R.-Rus-
sia's latest verbal blast at Yugo.
slav Marshal Tito was regarded
by foreign diplomats here today
as of major import.
All Moscow papers carried page
long accounts of the note sent
Yugoslavia yesterday, which de-
nounced Tito's government as a
deserter from socialism and ar
ally of the Western powers.
Foreign diplomats whose busi-
ness it is to interpret develop
ments here for their home gov
ernments sharpened their pencils
and began interpreting all over
again.
This dispatch, which passed
through Soviet censorship. gave
no indication as to what changes
in Russian policy-if Anyway be
indicated. There have been un-
confirmed rumors in Belgrade o1
Soviet Army troop movements ir
Hungary and Romania near the
Yugoslav border.

Fight on Economy in
Veterans Benefits
BY the Associoted Press

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 81
The American Legion's national
commander declared today the
organization major 1850 fight
will be against Government econ
omy which threatens to strangle"
veterans benefits.
Commander Perry Brown of
Beaumont, Tex, in his report to
the 31st National convention
called for strong opposition to
economy at the expense of the
veterans"
He said "the disabled veterans
are being caught silently in a
squeeze play which threatens to
strang1e their rights under the
law"
The commander said these
"jolting developments" must be
corrected:
"Slashes in Veterans Admins
tration appropriations
Reductions in VA personnel"
Proposals to merge all FEEDER
ally operated hospitals which
would mean the destruction of the
VA as an exclusive veterans
agency.
Moves to dilute veterans pref
erence in Government employ
ment."
Mr.. Brown called on the legion
to stand rigidly for a policy of
retention of our atomic bomb Sc
crets until such time when these
can be turned over with full con-
fidence to the United Nations"
And. he said, the legion must
continue it's fight Ito eliminate
the GU. NJ veto in all matters
involving aggression. in the limi-
tation of world arms production
and In the establishment of an
adequate and effective world
peace force"
After the commanders address
the legion called on the United
States to support ANY patriotic
groups or organizations of Chi
nese" who would fight Commu-
nists.
The resolution. drafted by the
Legion's Foreign Relations Com
mittee, was adopted unanimously
The convention settled down to
serious business today on the third
day of its four-day convention.
Yesterday Legionnaires made
merry in a gigantic 12-hour parade
which Mr.. Brown called the
Legion's greatest" He said the
crowd-estimated by Police Supt
Guy E. Parsons at more than
1,500 .000-was the biggest ever
to view the spectacle.
The convention was told today
that World War II veterans have
made an outstanding contribution
! to the future progress and security
of America in the last four years
Maj. Gen. Carl r. Gray, jr.
Veterans Administrator. said that
the Nations faith in its veterans
has been fully justified.
wartime America was safe in
the hands of our servicemen and
women" he said. 1T Is my firm
conviction that our peacetime
4 progress-in l.. the hands of our
veterans-is equally secure"
He reported that more than
5000 ,000-or 40 per cent of all
World War II veteranS-have re-
ceived some form of education
or training. a vast majority OF
whom have enrolled under the
CT bill. ..

Yugoslavia as a simple extension
of the war of nerves" which
has been in progress for some
time.
Our Embassy in Belgrade is
consulting regularly with repre-
sentatives of the British and
French governments there, the
Secretary said.
Asked whether the United
