Increased Aid 10 Tito
Pledged as U. 5. Finds
Forces in Good Shape
By the Associated Press

BLED. Yugoslavia. July IA -
Communist Yugoslavia today
looked forward to stepped up
American military aid-including
jet planes. tanks and heavy artil-
lery after a ranking United
States military team found Pre-
mier Marshal Tito's fighting forces
in excellent shape.
The decision greatly to strength
en- the American aid program to
this anti-Soviet ally was an
nounced last night at a formal
dinner given by Marshal Tito at
his summer palace here for the
mission headed by Frank c. Nash,
special assistant to Defense Secre-
tary Robert Lovett.
Report Is Highly Favored.
-Four American generals present
gave a highly favorable report of
their first-hand Inspection of
Yugoslav forces and their use of
the limited American aid already
received. The American officers
were Maj. Gen. George Almsted,
director for military assistance,
Maj. Gen. Clyde D. Eddleman,
deputy chief of staff; Maj. Gen,
George j. Richards, chief of the
military assistant group in Paris,
and Brig. Gen. John w. Harmony
head Of the military assistance
program in Yugoslavia.
The generals reported that the
YugoslavS' greatest needs were
planes and heavy armor. Their
supply of small arms was reported
as adequate, and the training
conditions and morale of troops
was described as excellent.
The Yugoslavs were told they
would be furnished equipment
that would enable them to fight
an offensive as well as defensive
war if attacked. Previous aid in
ligh. equipment had been ex-
tended on the theory that Yugo-
slavia's role against a future ag-
|greSsor would be limited chiefly
holding actions and guerrilla war
fare.
Neighbors Reported Getting Jets.
The Missions findings showed
IA new high in United States con-
|fidence in the Tito regime and its
readiness and ability to resist
aggression from Russia or the
Soviet-do dominated states bordering
Yugoslavia.
Particularly important was the
decision to build up the Yugoslay
air force with modern jet planes
1t was based partly on reports
that Russia has been modernizine
the air forces of neighborine
Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria
with jet fighters. #
Marshal Tito was informed
also. that he will bel given Ameri-
can dollars to expand his own mu-
nitions industry. The American
mission had concluded that Yugo-
slavia has resources and ability to
produce its own arms if provided
the necessary equipment.
Mr.. Nash and his military ad-
visers are touring the allies in
Western Europe. They left today
for Trieste.

Their 24-Hour Vigil
AGAINST Sneak Air Raid

District volunteers Joined others
in 27 States this morning in Oper-
alton Skywatch-a round-the-
clock vigil against sneak air at
tacks.
The Associated Press estimated
more than 10000 volunteers be-
gan at some 5000 stations across
the northern rim of the country.
The Air Force said another
350,000 civilians are needed ur-
gently in order to do the job
properly. The lookouts are needed
to plug the gaps in the country's

| Civil Defense Director John E.
Fondahl was present at the Dis
itrict's post for the beginning of
the 24-hour watch at 8 am. Also
there was Chief Observer Fred
erick Minor, 4319 East Capitol
street, an employe of the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing.
Mr.. Minor reported the initial
duty volunteers were John Hart,
1905 East Capitol street, q re-
tired Government employe, and
Mrs. Hazel Gordon. II Forty-ninth
street Sc, a seamstress.
President Truman, in a state
iment backing the recruiting drive,
said that every citizen who CO.
operates lis helping to prevent the
war none of us wants to happen. "
He pointed out that every pos
Esible second of warning before an
ATTACK would save lives and vital
facilities, and said: I'VE cannot
risk being caught unprepared to
defend ourselves. We must have
IA trained force of skywatchers."
Postponed in May.
The Air Force had wanted to
start the civilian watch in May,
but it was postponed until today
because the Federal air defense
organization said it didn't have
enough persons to man the sta
tions on a 24-hour basis.
The air watchers, using binocu-
lars, report suspicious or unidenti-
fled aircraft to 80 filter stations.
The information is passed along
and checked in a cooperative net
work set up by the Air Force and
the Air Defense Command.

DEFENSE - Congress has in
structed the Secretary of Defense
to report to it by next January Is
on what steps are being taken to
reduce travel expenses of civilian

PER DIEMS - From now on,
whenever the Defense Depart
ment's 100000 per diem (blue col
lar workers are given a pay raise.
they also. will be entitled to a
retroactive increase as we'll.
The Defense Department an
nounced it has changed the old
system in fairness to per diem
workers. Under the old system,
whenever a Defense Department
wage board authorized a pay
boost for per diem employees, they
did not receive the increase until
lit was approved by the Wage
Sterilization Board. ..
This sometimes took weeks,
even months. Now, however, when
the WSB finally approves a pay
boost. the per diem workers will
get the raise retroactive to the
time when it was first approved
by the Defense Department wage
board.
PERSONNEL RATIO - Con-
'gress adopted a provision on the
1858 independent Offices bill limit
ing the number of employees en-
gagged in personnel work in the
various independent bureaus to /
for each 1876 workers in an agency.
RETIREMENT - Chairman
Murray of the House Civil Service
Committee has had lots of crit
icism directed at him because of
his original opposition to the civil
service retirement increase bill.
In fairness to him it should be
pointed out that at the very last,
when the chips we're down, he in
sisted on bringing widows and
orphans and other dependents of
deceased Federal workers under
the bill. The Senate measure had
not provided for these dependents.
Mr.. Murray declared that it was
only fair and just to give in
creased benefits to this group of
survivors. Also. Mr.. Murray, de-
spite strong differences of opinion
with the Senate conferees, several
