the British call a new “code of
conduct” to restrict the use of the

putting restraints on the veto by
voluntary agreement.

for the United States were Secre

.Greeks Use Spit
fires In Battles
SALONIKA, Greece (/P)—Greek
Royal Airforce Spitfires are sup
porting ground troops in a “full
scale military operation against
invading forces” at Archanghelos,
immediately south of the Yugoslav
border, a third army spokesman
said today.
The officer declined to give the
identity of the reported “invading
forces,” but explained “they are
entrenched along a solid line the
ends of which are tied to the Yugo
slav border.”
The officer said Greek troops
were fighting all along a seven
mile front about the base of tow
ering Mount Jena. The “invaders”
he said, “are far stronger than we
first believed.”
Headquarters yesterday a n -
nounced a band of 200 guerrillas
was retreating toward the Yugo
slav frontier to join the remainder
of an estimated force of 1,000 re
ported to have fled into Yugoslavia
after destroying the village of
Skra.
A “solid front” was engaged, the
j spokesman said, after counter-at
tacking Greek troops supported by
strafing planes drove guerrillas
out of Archanghelos for the “third
time” since Saturday.

Commons Gives
Vote of Confidence
To Bevin’s Policy
0
LONDON, bP) — The House of
Commons unanimously gave For
eign Secretary Bevin’s foreign pol
icy a vote of confidence tonight
The vote was 353 to 0 against
an amendment by 58 labor mem
bers of Parliament urging that the
government’s foreign policy steer
a middle course between the
United States and Russia,
It came after Attlee, denying
that Britain was "ganging up’
with The United States against the
Soviet Union, declared "we are
not seeking an exclusive Anglo
American alliance.” He made that
observation in reply to a specific
request that he repudiate Winston
Churchill’s Fulton, Mo., speech
suggesting such an alliance.
Atlee said it was “entirely un
true” that Britain was subservient
to the United States or that the
labor government was not ready I
to collaborate with Russia.
Many of the labor party “rebels” *
had announced in advance that
they would abstain from voting
rather than oppose the govern
ment formally on a question of
confidence.
Pan American
Wants Routes In
United States
—
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. (/P)—!
The Pan American Airways needs
domestic routes to strengthen its
overseas operations and to ad
vance “national interest” abroad,
an Airways executive told a Civil
Aeronautics Board examiner yes
terday.
John Cl Leslie, airline vice pres
| ident, said that 52.7 percent of
Pan American's mileage was char
acterized by limited flights as
he testified at the company’s ap
plication for the right to operate
within the United States.
The application is opposed by 12
domestic airlines.
Leslie said if the application
was granted his company would
inaugurate a four-cent-a-mile
rate.
At present, Leslie said, Pan
American flights terminate at
American ports. He said his air- j
line had to integrate its routes so
that it could pickup passengers or
freight at any point in this coun- :
try for overseas or Alaska deliv-1
ery.
