Oct. 2 angrily accused the United Stati-s today of "using" WtliG UniUxl Nations up" of the Ralkam; and Middle East and charged that the Balkan countries -wore victims of a "monstrous blackmail" plot by the western powers. NKs.fim Mevorah, representative of Bulgaria at UN, delivered a long denunciation of United States policy as the UN's Political and Security committee resumed Ken- oral debate on the Greek situation after a two day recess. The A committee agreed to hear garia and Albania present their of the case before proceeding. lUcvorah leveled his tiro at the United States and the Truman Doctrine, charging the U.

S. with trying to obtain through the UN "international blessing' 1 of its "aggressive policies." Charges Made Among his charges against the U. S. were these: jji i. is an "open secret" that 'the real objective of the Truman Doctrine is to establish naval and air bases in Greece in order to make American influence felt In the Near East.

2. The U. S. does not want resumption of good relations between Greece and other Balkan countries because it would thwart U. S.

objectives in the Near East. 3. The "troubled situation" in Greece supplies the U. S. with an "excuse" for converting Greece an "armed camp of the United States." 4.

The United States wishes "at. any price" to cover with UN authority its political, military and economic penetration into the Balkans and Near East.

One of the two refugee ships approaching Palestine i S.fjDG Jews radioed today that "we reach Haifn tonight," indicating the abandonment of hope of i the British blockade.

That's what a solid majority of Yuma county residents said about Yuma's much- discussed meters during the last two weeks as The Yuma Daily Sun questioned them in an unofficial poll of opinions. More than six out of every 10 Yumnns conlnutcd were definitely in favor of the meters although many qualified their answers with more than one "if" or "but." Two persons out ol 20 said thuy hadn't yet made up their minds, while less than three out of every 10 registered opinions against the meters. The answers fell into three a sifications in the following percentages: Approve I'er cent Disapprove TMIi 1'cr Don't Know 15 1'cr Cent More than 200 citizens, including clerks, housewives, businessmen, laborers and professional peo- were.polled by The Daily Sun, which promised to keep all names confidential in order to obtain frank opinions. The pull indicated that purpusii for which the meters were ins tailed--that of providing more a i spaces on crowded being fulfilled. A great majority of the per cent who approved (he melVrH gave as their reason: "We can always find a parking place." Many of those who answered in the affirmative were once bitter foes of the nickel-an-hour parking charge, they admitted.

For various reasons, the bother of finding proper coins, the nuisance of having to return and refinance the meter or move the car, they once objccteri to the meters. But the availability of more parking spac- yvon them over, the Bother "1C we can just find a parking place," several granted, "it's worth all the bother." Among the meters' fiercest foes are those who have received tickets for overtime parking in front of the meters and who believe the meter cut their time short. "We'd probably not like the meters one lamily man said, "hut know we don't tike Vm when they- Hhort- chuiige us on the time we've in id for."
