Tito's Pact With U. 5.
On Fund Stirs New Talk
Of Turn Toward West
By th« Associated Press
By patching up an old quarrel
with the United States, Marshal
Tito of Yugoslavia fed new spec
ulation today that he may be
warming up to the West after
falling out with Moscow.
An amicable settlement which his
Communist government signed here
yesterday met almost in full Amer
ican demands denounced only a
short time ago by Belgrade as
exorbitant.
Among other -concessions, Tito
agreed to hand over *17.000,000
within the next six weeks to pay
for American property the Com
munist regime has taken over in
j Yugoslavia.
Will Pay for Two U. S. Planes.
i Belgrade also will pay for two
United States Army transport
planes which Tito's fighters shot
down in 1946.
In return, Yugoslavia will receive
some $30,000,000 in monetary gold
which was shipped here in 1942 to
ksep it out of Axis hands. The gold
supply thus was unfrozen just when
Russia^ and some loyal Soviet satel
lites appeared ready to add eco
nomic support to the Cominform’s
break with Tito.
Besides the gold, Yugoslav assets
to be released by the Treasury in
clude a government bank account of
possibly $225,000 and private hold
ings of Yugoslav citizens amounting
to perhaps $10,000,000.
Assets to be Given to Owners.
The private assets are to be re
leased to their original owners and
not to the Yugoslav government, so
Tito will have to make his own
terms with them. The United States
made the same terms in unfreezing
assets of Franco Spain.
Despite Tito's willingness to set
tle the long-standing dispute with'
the United States, wary American \
officials said they want stronger
evidence than this that Tito is seek-1
ing closer ties with the Western j
powers because of his break with;
the Cominform.
Property in this country of three j
other Soviet satellites — Romania.
Hungary and Bulgaria — remains
blocked along with assets of six;
other countries. These are Ger
many and Japan, the Baltic States,
of Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania j
which Russia has absorbed, and
Portugal, a wartime neutral. Nego
tiations are going on for an agree
ment only with the Portuguese.
U. 5. Air Force Ordering
266 Speedy New Trainers
By the Associated Press
An order for 266 speedy new train
ing planes was announced today by
the Air Force. They will be built ’
by North American Aviation, Inc.,
of Los Angeles.
The two-place trainer has several
improvements over the North Amer- !
ican T-6F Texan, which the Air
Force used widely during and since
the war. The new plane has a
maximum speed of 292 miles an
hour against the T-6’s 205. And it;
can climb to 31,650 feet as com
pared with the other's ceiling of
22.000. v
The AirmForw -also awarded a
$7,000,000 contract to the Wright
Aeronautical Corp., Woodridge. N. J.,
for production of R-1300 and R-1820
engines.
The R-1300 engine, also known as
Cyclone 7, will be installed in the
new trainers. It was designed and
developed near the end of the
war, but the ciArent order will
place it in large-scale production
for the first time.
The R-1820, designated Cyclone
9, is a postwar refinement of the
engines which powered the Boeing
B-17 Flying Fortresses. It will be;
installed in the Grumman SA-16A;
amphibian utility and hospital;
plane. It develops 1.425 horsepower.
New York'School Ban
On The Nation Upheld
By tht Associated Pres*
NEW YORK, July 20—A ruling
banning The Nation magazine from
New York City's public school
libraries has been reaffirmed unani- j
mously by the Board of Superin-j
tendents.
The ban was based on two series
of articles by Paul Blanshard crit
icizing the position of the Roman!
Catholic Chtfteh in a number of
fields.
The board announced its decision
les* than a week after hearing pro
tests by Miss Freda Kirchwev, editor
and publisher of The Nation, and
15 other spokesmen who asked that
the ban be lifted.
Miss Kirchwev had urged the
board either to lift the ban or call
a public hearing on it. The issue
arose last June 8 when school
authortiies refused to renew sub- j
scriptions to the magazine.

Plans for Ford Strike
Hinge on Renewal of
Wage Parleys Today
By the Associated Press
DETROIT, July 20.—Strike
action at Ford Motor Co. hinged
today on a new conference be
tween the company and CIO
United Auto Workers’ represent
atives.
Both parties agreed to the meet
ing yesterday shortly after the UAW
Executive Board unanimously" au
thorized a walkout of 116,000 Ford
woraers.
were broken off July 14, began at 10
a.m. and recessed for lunch with
neither side commenting.
A telegraphed appeal from Walter
P. Reuther, UAW president, to
Henry Ford II for further sessions
brought immediate acceptance from
the young automobile executive yes
terday.
Preparations Delayed.
Indications that the union was
banking strongly on the new meet
ing came from the lack of large
scale preparations which normally
precede a major walkout. Union
sources said usual prestrike assign
ment of picket details and estab
lishment of soup kitchens had not
begun.
Yet, all that was necessary to start
the walkout was a nod from Ken
Bannon, UAW national Ford direc
tor.
Strike action was approved over
the week end by the union's rank
and-file members who. UAW officials
said, were 98 per cent in favor. The
membership vote was made valid by
the Executive Board's authorization.
Deadline Decision Held l7p.
Mr. Bannon said he would await
outcome of today’s negotiations be
fore setting a strike deadline for 46
Ford plants across the Nation.
However, on the eve of the meet
ing, the union gave no indication it
would lower its latest demand of a
14-cent wage increase plus social
security clauses that would raise the
total to about 21 cents an hour.
Ford's latest proposal, termed a
"final offer,” included a 13-cent in
crease and other concessions. The
current average production wage is
estimated at about $1.52 an hour.
Behind the scenes remained the
possibility of Federal intervention.
Employes in Ecuador are demand
ing distribution of 7 per cent of the
net profits of all enterprises to the
workers.

Federal Experts Investigate
Farmer Brown's 'Master Cell'
By the Associated Press
MIDDLEBORO, Mass., July 20 —
Farmer John Brown's “master cell"
was being investigated today by
Federal officials.
Cyril Sullivan, chief of the Boston
office of the Pure Food and Drug
Administration, described as “rou
tine” the investigation of the “mas
ter cell”—claimed by Mr. Brown to
.make crops grow faster and to com
! bat poultry and cattle diseases
effectively.
Mr. Sullivan said “so far as I
know, there's absolutely no scien
tific basis for any claims made and
no proof of results has been ob
tained.”
He added that all reports of the
inquiry will be sent to Washington
I "in a day or so” and that results
: would be announced there.
Mr. Brown, A 61-year-old retiree
j pharmacist, welcomed the investiga
! tion with the announcements:
"Were 10,000 years ahead of the
world and we can prove it.”
He said he intends to limit use ol
the "master cell” to farmers so they
can produce bumper, healthy crops
He added that he has had to re
turn checks from many persons whe
asked for the "master cell” to at
tempt to cure human diseases.
Mr. Brown explained that a col
| loidal solution containing "mastei
cells” is encased in a porous cement
matrix The matrices, he said, are
placed in wells or in the soil to pass
into the metabolism of poultry
animals or plant life.
