i time in more than halt a cen

- the Navy and the Marines and
soon to be adopted by the Air

Sales of liauor will be re

Bergin added the Army be

Warning Sent
Against Troops
Along Border
Belgrade, Tagoslavis (A
Yugoslavia threatened officially
Friday to send troops to the
Italian-Yugoslav frontier un
less Italy ends her maneuvers,
termed "military demeastra
tioa," in that area. '
The warning was contained
in a note the fourth in three
days-r-eent by President Mar
shal Tito's government ' to
Italy's foreign ministry in
Rome ss a result of new tension
in the seven-year-old feud be
tween the two nations over the
future of the free territory of
Trieste.
If the Yugoslav government
establishes that the Italian gov
ernment continues to adhere to
the abnormal situation on the
border," the note said, "it will
be forced to undertake corres
ponding measures on its terri
tory."
Te March la Troops
In plain terms, this means
Yugoslavia plans to march in
troops to back up her frontier
guards ia the Gorizia region,
north of Trieste, unless Italy
withdraws the forces on the op
posite side of the frontier there.
The note, made public by the
Yugoslav foreign office's in
formation section, described as
unsatisfactory Italy's rejection
of three previous Yugoslav
complaints concerning border
incidents of the past week.

speculation that Gov. Earl War

top administration appoint

Court or the cabinet, churned
up Friday from his announce
ment he will not seek a fourth
term as governor.
But politicians, professing to
ave no inside knowledge,
were inclined to doubt anything
was in prospect for the imme
diate future. They anticipated
that Warren would serve out
his present four-year term
which extends until Jan. 1,
1955.
Warren, three-time governor
of his state and long a leading
figure in national Republican
politics, apparently caught
friends and associates here by
surprise with his announce
