Yugoslavia Ruled
Out in U. S. flan
To Aid Nations
WASHINGTON. March 20-JP)-Amid
congressional debate over
what aid the United States should
extend to needy foreign nations,
the state department today point
edly ruled out Yugoslavia from
any share in the pending $350,
000.000 relief appropriation.
The department also refused to
let Marshal Tito's totalitarian
regime buy some 100.000 tons of
grain in this country. j
The reasons given in both in
stances were lack of acceptable
evidence that Yugoslavia really
needed help, and suspicion that
food already supplied had not
been efficiently distributed.

dispatches telling of bloody

since March 4 had resulted in
2,040 known dead and 1,103 in

Bumpfer Crop'
Estimate Made
By Department
WASHINGTON, March 20-0P)-Another
bumper crop production
year, topped by what may be the
largest wheat crop ever, was
forecast by the agriculture de
partment today.
The forecast was in a report
showing farmers plyan to plant
slightly larger acreages than dur
ing the past two seasons.
The nation's wheal supply,
now dwindling under a heavy ex
port demand, will be replenished
by a crop of about 1.212.000,000
bushels if present prospects turn
out. Last year's crop, the largest
yet grown, was 1,155,715,000
bushels.
A wheat crop of the size indi
cated would enable the United
States to continue exports until
the 1944 harvest at this season's
record rate. Likewise, present
rather plentiful supplies of corn
would be augmented by another
crop or more than 3,000,000,000
bushels.
Union Accepts
Morse's Plea
WASHINGTON, March 20 -P)
-President Joseph A. Beirne of the
National Federation of Telephone
Workers (independent) said today
he would turn over to his policy
committee Sen. Morse's plea to
avert a nationwide telephone
strike by arbitration. The commit
tee meets Monday.
Morse (R-Ore) made his propo
sal in the senate Tuesday. He sug
gested that, failing agreement, the
union and management should
"adopt voluntarily peaceful pro
cedures" for avoiding a telephone
tieup.
Beside a demand for a $12 a
week raise, the union is seeking a
union shop, checkoff of union
dues, reduction in apprentice pe
riods from eight years to five, el
imination of wage differentials
between small and large towns,
longer vacations, and better pen
sions. Dorena Dam

Toy Airplane
PORTLAND, March 20-7P-A
toy airplane that responds to "Its

here.
Jimmy Walker, the inventor,
tooted on a duck horn during a
demonstration, and the ship
changed direction with each toot.
When Walker's horn was silent,
the plane circled to the left. A
continuous blast sent it to the
right. A series of toots kept the
tiny ship straight on its course.
A gadget inside the plane,
turned to respond to a given note,
controls the maneuvering. The
operator's voice, kept in the
proper key, will work just as well
as the horn. Walker said.
