GORIZIA, Italy, July 13.—(P
The U. S. 88th division announced
today that an American Army pat-
rol killed two Yugoslav soldiers in
skirmishes yesterday after a Yu-
goslav patrol opened fire when it
was caught west of the Morgan
The line divides the British-
American zone from the Yugoslav
zone of occupation in disputed
Venezia Giulia. It extends north
from Punta Grossa, a prominent
headland four miles. south of
Trieste, to Gorizia, Caporetto and
Ratece on the Italian-Yugoslav-
Austrian border.___3____.
The 88th division’s headquar-
ters said the skirmishes develop-
ed after the Yugoslavs crossed the
lme near Aurisinia, in the Osonzo
river valley southeast of Caporet-
to. which is itself 22 miles north
of Gorizia.
American troops in the zone
were ordered on the alert.
The official statement said:
"At approximately 1600 hours
GMT (Greenwich, mean time) on
July 12, a Yugoslav patrol which
crossed the Morgan line near Auri-
sinia. southeast of Caporetto, was
“Sited by a United States out-
"An American-officered patrol
which immediately investigated
the violation of the line was fired
on by the Yugoslavs at a point ap-
proximately 300 yards from the
Morgan line in Zone A.
“Acting on instructions to
fire only when fired upon,
the United States patrol re-
tunrned the fire. After a brief
exchange of firing, one of the
Yugoslav soliders was found
dead.
“The United States patrol con-
tinued to advance until another
Yugoslav patrol was encountered
which apparently was intent on
ambushing the United States pat-
rol.
"Another brief fire-fight follow-

tired.
“The American patrol returned
to Aurisina, where it was ascer-
tained that there were no United
States casualties.
“Later reports confirmedby

that a second Yugoslav soldier
was killed in the latter part of
the action.”

This testimony disclosed that
both LaGuardia and William L.

had strong’y urged elimination of

to permit accredited American

The hearing, which result-
ed from a protest by Dr.
Homer Price Rainey, candi-
date for governor, lasted 19
hours yesterday. Half of the
time. Rainey was on the stand,
presenting evidence and being
cross-examined by a battery of
Texas lawyers and radio legal
experts from Washington.
Rainey said he had three ob-
jections to the broadcast-time poli-

ions were arbitrary. 2. They were
not adequate to meet the needs of
the candidates 3. They do not
meet with the interests of the pub-

WASHINGTON, July 13--
The administration won a thump-
ing victory on the first house test
on the $3,750,000,000 British loan
today when members on a stand-
ing vote of 180 to 19 rejected a
motion by Rep. Celler (D-NY) to
kill the ratification bill.
Celler had moved to strike out
everything after the enacting
clause in the legislation.
The house then moved toward a
final showdown on the bill.
This test on the Celler mo-
tion came' shortly after Speak-
er Rayburn (D-Tex) personal-
ly appealed to the house to
ratify the credit, lest England
and Western Europe “be push-
ed into an ideology I despise.”
As the house assembled to cast
its crucial vote on the ratification
legislation, already approved by
the senate, Rayburn arose and de-
clared:
“World leadership is offered us
today. Voices throughout the world
are crying for American demo-
cracy to lead. Will we seize that
leadership-or will we allow some-
body else to seize it?
"If that happens, God pity us,
and God pity the people of other
nations.”

bate has run the argument by its
backers that the house decision

to administration leaders than
bill No. 1. The senate put
in a provision requiring that
producers, manufacturers and
processors' ceilings be placed
high enough to take care of the
average Increase in costs In
their Industry since 1940.
This was substituted for a pro-
vision inserted in the original bill
by Senator Taft (R Ohio) which
“overt act.” and said It is more
likely to promote war than
peace.
The 50 year loan, under the
agreement, would be advanced to
the British during the next five
years, with no interest during that
time. Interest at two percent would
begin in 1951.
In exchange, the British agree:
1. Within one year to wipe out
the entire dollar pool set-up in
wartime to give Britain absolute
control over dollars flowing into
the Middle East, India, and other
empire regions where currency is
based on the pound sterling. Amer- ,

3 Britain agrees further to sup-
port American proposals for re- -

that without the loan it cannot pro-

into economic isolationism.
