HIS GREATEST ALLY
TITO FLAYS STALIN
What good would houses and railways and factor
ies be if we had to live under a Soviet governor?”
This is the question that Premier Marshal Tito
asked the people of Yugoslavia, after telling them that
the Soviet Union is massing bombers in Hungary and
other neighboring lands to attack Yugoslavia.
In a strong attack on the Soviet Union, which he
accused of having ‘imperialist aims” and of wanting
“to dominate all nations,” the Yugoslavian leader gave
praise to the western nations. Declaring that Yugo
slavia had turned to the West for salvation, Marshal
Tito said that “they did give us help and they did not
try to dominate us.”
Declaring that “we are arming ourselves and we
are on the alert,” the Premier accused Soviet Premier
Joseph Stalin of “being bent on an imperialist cam
paign of conquest in the Balkans unrivaled by even old
Czarist Russia.”
Lengthy Coal Anti
Trust Case In
Hands of Jury
FAIRBANKS, {JP) — The gov
ernment’s case against Alaska
coal firms accused of violating
anti-trust laws was in the hands
of a federal court jury today.
The jury in Judge Harry Pratt’s
m
courtroom received the case at 5
pm. yesterday after nearly two
weeks of lengthy and involved
court discussions revolving around
marketing of coal in Alaska.
Defendants were the Healy
River Coal Corp., Usibelli Coal
Mines, Evan Jones Coal Co., and
Harry J. Hill and Emil Usibelli.
During the trial, government
attorneys introduced evidence
which they said showed the de
fendants had conspired in the sale
of coal to the military and other
markets in Alaska.
The defendants denied the
charge and countered with a
claim that figures the govern
ment used as the basis of its
case were incomplete and mis
leading.

of the new House of Commons

riculture. The outcome cut the
new government’s overall major
ity from 18 to 17, since the speak

The contest plainly meant that
the Labor party intends to fight
the new government on every
conceivable issue, just as Chur

government when it was in
power.

Only yesterday Miss Davies
and officials of the Hearst Corp.
announced that all matters be
tween them are settled.

Observers Agree
3d A-Bomb Test
Was Beautiful
LAS VEGAS, (/P)—A brilliant
flash, followed by a mushrooming
cloud which, shot up with the
speed of a rocket, marked the
third of the AEC’s current series
of atomic tests yesterday.
Despite a bright dawn, the flash
was visible here, some 75 miles
away. Throngs of early risers
gathered in knots at every high
vantage point to watch.
At Henderson, Nev., 11 miles
east of here toward" Hoover Dam,
houses rattled a few minutes af
ter the blast, but residents said
there was none of the noise which
accompanied the second in the
series last Sunday.
The light itself was white, much
like a giant camera flash bulb.
There was a light purple tinge at
the start.
The mushroom was a beautiful
thing, observers agreed. The top
burgeoned out, at the apex of a
towering stem.
There was no shock felt in Las
Vegas within the time limit nec
essary for sound waves normally
to travel from the Yucca Flat
Range more than 75 miles from
here. That would indicate that it
was considerably less severe than
several during a series last Feb
ruary, two of which broke win
dows in Las Vegas.
