Golden Rule New To
Capitol Lobbyists
WASHINGTON (UP) — A
strange kind of lobby has come
to Washington.
It's made up of a group of
young American aviators who
believe one good turn deserves
another.
They say they owe their lives
to the Jugoslav Chetnik general,
Draja Mihailovich.
And now, they're out to do all
they can to save the general's
life.
Twenty of them have
gone to the national capital
as representatives of 6(10
aviators who were rescued
and sent home It)' the Mihail-
ovich Chetnlks.
They say they're not concern-
ed with the whys anil wherefor-
es of Allied support of Marshal
Tito rather than Gen. Mihailo-
vich.
They're interested in seeing to
it that Mihailovich, who is await-
ing trial before a Jugoslav peo-
ple's court, gets a fair hearing.
And so the airmen have organ-
ized themselves into a national
committee of American airmen

to aid Gen. Mihailovich and the
Serbian people.
They've petitioned President
Truman to bring about these ;s
things:
1. That the United States in-
tercede and demand that Mih-
ailovich be given a fair trial by
inter-Allied tribunal.
2. That American airmen and
intelligence officers assigned to
Mihailovich headquarters be cal-
led as defense witnesses.
3. And that war and state de-
partment documents pertaining
to Mihailovich be released im-
mediately.
They're convinced that Mihail-
ovich will not get a fair trial be-
fore a Jugoslav people's court
dominated by Tito.
They're convinced they
will not be permitted to tes-
tify unless the United States
insists upon it. And they're
convinced that our own sec-
ret files will exonerate Mih-
ailovich completely.
As to the charge that Mihail-
ovich collaborated with the ene-
my by turning over to the Ger-
mans Allied fliers who had
crashed, they say they are liv-
ing examples that it's untrue.
And as to the charge of trea-
son. Captain George Musulin,
who was in charge of the rescue
work for several months, says:
"If it's treason to defend your-
self when attacked by an ideolo-
gical enemy, then Mihailovich
committed treason. He didn't
collaborate with the Germans —
he defended himself against the
partisans."

Fort Worth Cats
Move Toward Texas
League Leadership
AUSTIN —(UP; — The Kort
Worth Cats are setting a torried
pace in the Texas League, des-
pite the fact that they are still in
third place.
The Fort Worth team smoth-
ered Tulsa last night. The game
was called after eight innings in
order that both clubs could catch
a train. The score — 10 to 1.
San Antonio, leading the leag-
ue, was idled by wet grounds at
home along with the visiting
Shreveport team. At Dallas the
Rebels made a one-night home
stand pay off when they rallied
in the ninth to defeat Oklahoma
City. Score was 5 to 4, and it was
the 13th loss for the Indians in
1 1 starts.
In last night's other game,
Beaumont topped Houston 9 to
ti. Capps homered in the fourth
for Beaumont with one on and
Stafford duplicated his feat in
the bottom half of the fourth for
Houston.
And here's today's schedule—
Tulsa at Beaumont: Oklahoma
City at Shreveport: Fort Worth
at Houston and Dallas at San
Antonio.

Joe Louis Trains
For Title Match
With Billy Conn
NEW YORK tl'P) — Heavy-
weight Champion Joe Louis has
checked into New York, all set
to begin training for his June
liith title bout and confident that
he's too tough for challenger Bil-
j ly Conn.
"I'm not worried about my
speed, my weight or anything",
says the Brown Bomber. "I'll
! carry the fight all the way. And
if I have anything to say about
it. the fight will be much short-
er than last time."
Then Louis prepared to shuf-
fle off to his training camp at
Pompton Lakes, New Jersey.
But before Joe left, there were
a couple of things he attended
to. One was to shave off a two-
month growth of whiskers. And,
after that. Louis-went out to
Yankee Stadium to watch New-
York play Bobby Feller and his
j Cleveland Indians.
The champion looked a little
pudgy about the face. Otherwise,
he semed in fighting trim. Joe
' now weighs 210 as compared
with 199 and one-half he carried
i in his first fight with Conn.

ITACIIA ( UP i Time was
when the folks in a community
hitched up Dobbin of a Saturday
night ami clop-clopped off to a
social gathering. Then came the
auto, and people could go fath-

Now in Ithaca, New Vork.,
there's a middle-aged cou-
ple which lias discarded all
that. The John Dickermaiis
have their own private
plane — which they both
fly — and their private air

) The Dickerman air field is the

playing bridge and talking. But
j Sundays, the visiting fliers
show off their respective planes

is said that the tail tales told
about the wonderful performan-
