| Litvinoff Removed
i As Soviet Deputy
Foreign Minister
MOSCOW, August 24 (ZP)—One
of Soviet Russia’s former top dip-
lomats, Maxim Litvinoff, has
been replaced as deputy foreign
minister. Moscow has not dis-
closed the reason for his release,
but in the past, the resignation
or new appointment of Litvinoff
frequently has preceded broad
changes in Soviet foreign policy.
The Russian council of minis-
ters simultaneously appointed
two new deputy foreign ministers.
One is the Soviet ambassador to
Britain, Fyodor Gusev. The other
is Yakov Alexandrovich Malik.
The second vacancy resulted last
month from the releasing of
Abramovich Lozovsky who was
appointed chief of the Soviet in-
formation bureau.
Litvinoff, a former Russian
foreign commissar, became the
Russian ambassador to Washing-
ton just before Pearl Harbor. He
was succeeded in 1943 by Andrei
Gromyko at a time when the
Russians were appealing for a
second front in Western Europe.
Before that, he had been replaced
as foreign commissar by V. M.
Molotov in 1939 and the signifi-
cane of the move became appar-
ent a few months later when the
Kremlin’s new non-aggrssion pact
with Germany was announed.
Litvinoff is 70 years old.
LJUBLJANA, Yugoslavia, Aug.
24 (ZP) — The Turkish captain
who was wounded when Yugoslav
fighters shot down an American
transport plane on August 9th
today gave his version of the
shooting, The Captain, Ihsan
Unesen, was quoted by Ambassa-
dor Richard C. Patterson today as
saying the Yugoslavs opened fire
only one minute after they were ‘
sighted.
The Captain, who was attached
to the United States Army head-
quarters at Frankfurt, Germany,
said he had not been allowed to
send messages to his own offi-
cials. The Turkish aide declared
he was certain that the American
pilot was lost because of bad
weather when the shooting start-

JERUSALEM, August 24 (ZP) —
The Palestine government an-
nounces that 25 Jews escaped
Thursday night from a detention
camp near Haifa. Police say the
flight apparently was made pos-
sible by a perfectly conducted
underground operation.
The escape was not discovered |
until yesterday. The camp housed
some 3,700 unauthorized Jewish
immigrants awaiting release un-
der the permitted monthly im-
migration quotas. The 25 Jews
who escaped were among the
last sent to the camp prior to
the beginning of the Cyprus de-
portation policy
Meantime, an Arab official
says that Palestine’s Arab lead-
ers have no hope of success in
the forthcoming talks with the
British in London He says their
only purpose in engaging in such
discussions is to perfect a legal
case for presentation to the Unit-
ed Nation general assembly.
This Arab leader points out
that the United Nations charter
requires that there be a conflict
of interests before a case is sub-
mitted He says that in London
the Arabs hope only to reach an
insoluble conflict between Britain
and the Arab states on the Pal-
estine problem.

PARIS, August 24 (IP) — Sec-
retary of State Byrnes and Brit-
ish Foreign Secretary Bevin had
a long and private talk today.
Whatever it was about, it must
have been something very top
drawer. For one thing, the tradi-
tional American spokesmen who
usually drop a couple of hints
to correspondents about such
meetings refused to give out any-
thing for public consumption. For
another, Bevin immediately flew
to London for a conference with
Prime Minister Attlee.
There are guesses, of course.
One is that Byrnes and Bevin
discussed peace conference strat-
egy and perhaps the German situ-
ation. The thin information, so
far, does not mention the Yugo-
slav or Palestine situations.
Meanwhile, the conference, it-
self, drones on. The Czechs tried
to turn the war guilt screws tight-
er on Hungary while the Hungar-
ians tried to bet in the final vic-
tory act. But both attempts fell
flat. The committee on Romania
likewise was stalled on the pre-
amble of that treaty.
Everything points to a long,
long drawn out affair on the peace
treaties. The Soviet Ukraine dele-
gate, complaining about the drag-
_ giiig negotiations on the Roman-
ian pact, said that if things go
on that way, the peace confer-
ence will last until 1955. Prime
Minister W. L. MacKenzie King,
of Canada, told newsmen that he
expects the conference to last two
more months, or longer. But an
even more tangible indication
that no one expects anything vital
to happen for at least a few more
days is the disclosure that Bevin,
who went to London today, does
not expect to return to Paris un-
til the middle of next week.
all-out civil war. The officer
told newsmen that the main
North China cities of Peiping and

.ood shortage. Anderson reveal-!
cd that this is going to happen in
t’e next two or three weeks. He
also announced that brewers and
distillers will be permitted to in-
crease their production on Sep-
tember 1st.
Anderson said the relaxing of
government restrictions have
oean made possible by this year’s
eeord crops ot wheat and corn.
Another factor, according to the
:ecretary, is the price decontrol
board’s reestablishment of ceil-
ings on meat animals. Anderson
explained that the meat ceilings
are expected to prevent excessive
feeding of grains to livestock.
Anderson said that on Septem-
ber 1st millers will be allowed
to discontinue the manufacture of
dark flour But it will take some
time for the stocks of dark flour
to be used up and the white flour
to move to the bakeries.
Tne millers will return to the
normal 72 per cent extraction
rate in converting the wheat ker-
nel into flour. Since March 1st
they have h<>pn required to con-
vert 80 per cent of the kernel .
The liquor distilleries will be
allotted 20 per cent more grain i
in September than theyv received
in August. This will be 500,000
bushels and the producers of beer
and ale will be given 21 and a
half per cent more grain in the
September-November quarter
The Eastern Star will hold its
regular meeting Monday night,
beginning at 8:00 o’clock, with

which the birthday of the found-
er, Rob Morris, will be observed.

BELGRADE, August 24 UP)—
United States officials today will
open a mass grave believed to
contain the bodies of all five oc-
cupants of the American trans-
port plane shot down by Yugo-
slav fighters last Monday. The
purpose is to verify a statement
by Marshal Tito that no one para-
chuted from the blazing plane.
Tito handed a note to United
States Ambassador Richard C.
Patterson yesterday saying that
there apparently were no surviv-
ors of the crash. Tito described
the incident as a regrettable ac-
cident but he offered no apolo-
gies. Patterson and other Ameri-
can diplomats visited the scene
of the crash and found reliable
evidence that none of the Ameri-
can airmen managed to escape.
Ine investigators found pieces of
flesh still hanging from trees an<^_,
charred parts ot army clothing.^ •
Wreckage was scattered over a*”
radius of a quarter-mile. t
The Belgrade radio indicates r •'
that Uie ultimatum will be ignor- * .
ed on the contention that its con-
ents have become irrelevant. The
Be.grade radio bases this conten-
tion on the fact that nine occu-
pants of a transport shot down on
August ninth were released be-
! fore the ultimatum was received.
; A tenth occupant of the plane—
i a Turkish officer—is still being
I detained. He was seriously
wounded when the Yugoslav
fighter planes opened fire.
In Washington, the State De-
partment indicates that the Unit-
ed States still does not consider
that Yugoslavia has complied
with all terms of the ultimatum.
Officials indicate also that there
still is possibility that the United
States will bring the case be-
fore the United Nations security
council. This depends on details
of Ambassador Patterson’s report
on his conference with Marshal
Tito—also on Patterson’s finding*
in the two cases of attacks by
Yugoslav fighters.
There is no indication in Bel-
grade of any tension between
Yugoslavia and the United States.
Yugoslav newspapers carried
brief accounts of developments,
but none referred to the Ameri-
can note as an ultimatum.
Tito’s reply to Patterson give*
permission -or American investi-
gators to remove the wreckage
of the plane shot down August
ninth and also to inspect the
scene of last Monday’s crash. A
Yugoslav militiaman told the
American authorities that he
helped bury the five men killed
Monday in a common grave at a
cemetery at the village of Kop-
rovinik. This militiaman said two
bodies were burned in parachutes.
American authorities are receiv-
ing every assistance from Yugo-
slav officials in the investigation.
The Turkish ambassador, mean
time has complained that the only
information he has received about
the wounded Turkish officer was
through the American embassy.
Yesterday, a Yugoslav spokesman

that British intervention in

upsetting the Balkan situation.
Manuilsky’s action backs up his
