BY the Associofed Press

GL1NA, Yugoslavia, July 28.-
Premier Marshall Tito says Yugo-
slavia is willing to discuss with
Italy the touchy Trieste question
but that Italy's professed willing
ness to join in such talks Is pure
propaganda"
He said in a speech here yester-
day the first move toward reach
ing a settlement over the disputed
Adriatic seaport must be made by
italy.
Tito told a crowd of more than
100000, "the Italian Premier
tAlcide de Gasperi) gave an inter-
view to an English newspaper in
which he generously offered to
negotiate with Yugoslavia. That
Is pure propaganda. We made
several proposals, none of which
were ever answered by them. They
are against YugoSlavia and want
not only Trieste but other things,
too."
He added that Yugoslavia was
ready to talk with Italy ION the
basis Of our proposals or on the
basis Of proposals that they make. "
The Premier took a crack, also,
At his Soviet-dominated neigh
bors.
"At least we do not have to run
every five minutes to the Soviet
Ambassador to ask well, how are
We going to do this or that?'" he
said, and I'VE don't have to worry
about being sent to Siberia for q
rest cure"

A Little Planning Goes a Long
WAY For Vacationists

A few hours of pre-vacation
planning can save Smyrna-Clayton
drivers needless headaches and de-
lays on their summer vacations,
Mr.. ]. e. Lofiand, B. f. Goodrich
dealer at Clements Supply Co.,
pointed out today.
First of all, he suggested COM
plete checkup for the family car
by competent mechanic. Brakes,
lights and ignition should be in
spected. Tires should he examined
carefully for cuts or breaks in the
sidewalks and tread, and if they're
the puncture sealing tubeless type,
all nails should be removed, "and," +"
Mr.. Lofiand added, don't forget to
check the spare"
He said that vacation-bound mo-
torists might take the following
simple precautions against possible
trouble:
Put an extra fuse in the glove
compartment. Carry a spare igni-
tion key. Get first aid kit and
fire extinguisher. Have your car
fabricated and battery checked at
regular intervals. Write or wire
in advance for reservations. Don't
carry too much cash--use Travel
er's Checks. Check tire pressure
regularly-always when tires are
COOL Make sure the tool kit and
some extra gas in a safety tank
are in the trunk and that the jack
is in working order.
The dealer suggested that vaca-
tionists familiarize themselves with
state and local traffic regulations
and check possible detours with To-
cal gas stations or tire. dealers. He
recommended that motorists plan
reasonable daily milage and warn
ed about obstructing the drivers
vision by loading the car carelessly.
