BRITAIN IS MOVING ON
 PALESTINE
Troops, Wdrships Being
 Concentrated in Medi- terranean Sea Today
(By The Associated Press)

Britain concentrated troops and warships in the Mediterranean to- day while her cabinet apparently was considering the Palestine prob lem and how far she would go in show of force in the tense Middle East
 For the second time, Israel turned tack a British protest against the downing of five British aircraft over the Egyptian border area Fri day and retorted with her own pro- tests against the landing of British troops at Aqaba, Trans-Jordan port on the Red Sea.
 Britain's protest reserved the right to demand compensation for the lost planes and to "all possible subsequent action" British govern ment sources said the next steI may be demand to the United Ma tions Security Council that Israeli troops stay within their boundaries and that the Israel government pay
 
 for the five planes.
 Israel rejected the British pro- test because it was not addressed to the Israeli government. Britain does not recognize Israel In turn the Is- raelis protested to the United Ma tions that the presence of British troops at Aqaba "can have no pur- rose but to threaten Israel's terri tory in the southern part of the Negev"
 An Israeli mi itary spokesman said at least two of the British planes were shot down Friday over Israeli territory.
 In Carlo an Egyptian foreign of flee spokesman said Egypt has not asked Britain for assistance under the 1886 British Egyptian tr e a y Egypt will go on with scheduled armistice talks to end the Pales- tine war, spokesmen said.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. lRl.
Moscow has called on the peas
ants and workers Of Yugoslavia
to rise up and overthrow Mar
shall Tito.
The latest Communist appeal
came today from the Cominforn,
with official publication in Mos
cow Of a resolution passed at a
recent secret session of the revis-
led Communist International.
I Coming after months in which
Communist leaders have urged Tt
to's overthrow, Western diplomats
wonder if the Cominform an
snouncement now means specific
plans for an actual revolt are
close to action The announce
Iment says it is the international
duty Of all Communists to help
Yugoslav peasants and workers
to Gust their ruler. That may jibe
with unconfirfned diplomatic re-
ports in New York that an anti
Tito coup has been planned for
some time after Christmas in Bel
grade, with help from loyal Com
munist elements In Hungary and
Romania.
The Corninform resolution de-
nounced Tito as a splitter Of the
Communist ranks and warned

'Chungking Soon
TOTAL AS Reds
Close In On City

cHUNGKING, Nov %
All indications are that this city
will be in the hands Of the Chi
nese Communists before very
long.
With the Communists closing in
on the city, cannon and machine
gun fire is audible in the city.
Soldiers are guarding the streets,
but the traffic which jammed the
streets yesterday is absent to-
day. Only a few trucks are leav-
ing the city now.
There IS one Tunor in Chung
king that the Reds may bypass
the city now and enter it later in
the week. Another report says
there still are two divisions OF
Nationalist troops to be with
drawn. After that is DONE it is
said, the Communists will be in
vited by telephone to move in,
A peaceful turnover is expected
The last plane out Of the pro-
visional Capital says the Reds are
on the banks of the Yangtze riv-
er, just opposite Chungking, In
fact, the Communists were able
to fire on the plane as il took
off from an island airport in the
Yangtze river, The passengers
had to leave the city so quickly
that they were forced to abandon
their luggage No one was hurt in
the getaway.
The Nationalist Government is
believed to have fled to Chengtu,
some ITO miles northwest of
Chungking. But whether Chang
Kai-Shek has gone to Chengtu is
not known. There is a remote
possibility that Chang may have
been trapped in the doomed city.
However, he was known to have
been ready for a quick getaway
