Yugoslavia, Aug. 4 United States was ready tonight to lay before the 11-nation Ianubian conference its proposals to unchain -the Danube. The American stand, to be presented tomorrow by S. Ambassador Cavendish Cannon, will turn down a Russian plan and call for free navigation of the 1800-mile international waterway by all nations strings attached. American diplomats said Cannon will tell Russia and Eastern Europe's Communist-dominated i vthat the-United States will not approve a Danubian pact unless it spells out clearly terms for free navigation.

'The Russian plan, presented to the conference today, would place the Danube under exclusive control of the Communist bloc from Austria southward. It would give each of the Communist-dominated countries immediate supervision over ship movements in its own waters. United States delegates, after analysis of the Soviet proposals, have concluded the plan would serve only to freeze the present status of the river. Forty-seven states accept adultery as a ground for divorce; 45 recognize desertion; 42, extreme cruelty; 41, conviction of a felony, 39 habitial drunkeness.

Office Studies Voluntary Program Of Steel Allotment WASHINGTON, 4 A voluntary plan under which steel producers will earmark 16,530 tons of steel a month for the oil field tank and production equipment industry went to Secretary of Commerce Sawyer today.

The National Petroleum council, an industry-wide organization, has asked for allocations of line-pipe and "oil country" goods such as tubing and drilling equipment. THE COUNCIL'S request would have far exceeded total production of line pipe-, and would have absorbed-most of the -output of other supplies.

Secretary Sawyer, therefore ruled that "no useful purpose could be served" by an system case. hearing, ed by about 20 industry and Government men, he disagreed. Conceding that an allo. cation plan would not boost 'production, he a that nevertheless 'it improved distribution and would insure that supplies would Jbe put into use. Russell B.

Brown, general counsel for the Independent Petroleum Association of America, also argued other petroleum industry programs should get help. UNDER ALLOCATION plan, the steel Industry agrees to provide tonnage for -use in the manufacture of oil and gas separators, storage tanks, and other items for use at well head. The hearing removed the last obstacle to approval by Sawyer."
