Beatrice veterans did not let the grass grow under their feet in getting in applications for the National Service Life (GI) insurance dividend.

The applications became available this morning, and by noon nearly 400 World War II veterans had picked up their copies. The word got around that the applications would be processed by the veterans administration on a "first in, first served" basis, and a lot of veterans appeared to be determined that they should not be last. Pottofflce Busiest The postoffice was the busiest place In town today, in this respect, Postmaster J. C. Douthitt estimated about 300 veterans had picked up applications at the post- office window by noon.

About 40 got their applications at the courthouse where County Veterans Service Officer Vernon Blome was helping them fill out the forms. Vets also received as- 'gistance at the American Legion club, where the auxiliary passed out about 30 applications. At the office thev received similar aid. About 20 vets got their applications there this morning. The forms are also to be available at the VFW club.

Remember Serial Nos. Almost without exception vets remembered their serial numbers without looking it up. Some had already looked up the number of their insurance policies, others took out partially completed forms to add that, information later. The same applied to disabled veterans, who have to nut their claim number on the application blank. The dividend will he paid on all National Service Life insurance policies issued between October 8, 1940, and December 31, 1947, which had been in.

Offers Cooperation And he held out an offer of "mutual concession and coopera- tion'' to the British cabinet of- ficals who arrive in Washington next week for negotiations on their country's financial crisis. "We are not looking for quick solutions to deep-seated problems," he added. The president sharply disavowed criticism in this country of Britain's Socialist government. "We recognize," he declared, "that each nation has its own political problems and that it uses different political labels and different slogans from those we use at home.

The president spoke before the national convention of the American Legion, which arranged to present him a medal for "outstanding service to the 1 The keynote of his address was that "world prosperity is necessary to world peace. 1 Because of that, he said, and because "world prosperity is necessary to our own prosperity in the United States," American leaders resolved before the end of World War II that "the international chaos which had led to war should not occur again." But, the president added, while the steps which followed were "good beginnings," the free nations of the world had not counted on two factors: "Shortly after the war ended," he said, "it became apparent that the economic life of the world was more badly disrupted than anyone had expected. "Still further difficulties were created when it- became clear that the Soviet Union would not join in working for world economic recovery.

29 Farm lands and improvements made up 39.60 per cent of the 1949 Nebraska total tax valuations. The 1949 total was $2,637,791,560 and the farm lands and im- provemeats figure was $1,044,759,818. In 1948 farm lands and improvements made up 41.66 per cent of the grand total of $2,495,563,799, tax commissioner Philip Johnson said. Town lots and improvements this year made up. 19.44 per cent of the total.

In 1948 this division stood at 19.79 per cent. The total 1949 valuation was $512,784,153. 8.50 For Livestock Third biggest precentage this year was ,8.50 for livestock; against 9.14 in 1948. The 1949 livestock total was $224,246,477. Grains, seeds and forage crops showed a gain this year to hit 4.62 per cent of the total at $121,950,741.

The 1949 totals in money were $108,260,495 for farm machinery and $157,944,794 for motor vehicles. calm can be attributed, of course, the fact that the official press "has carried few of the rumors which apparently have disturbed the western world. There has been no mention yet, for example, of the meeting of the economic council of mutual assistance in Sofia, Bulgaria.

There have been some official denials of such rumors as "unusual" troops movements in Yugo- slvia, that two divisions have been sent into the Istrian (Trieste) peninsula to prevent sabotage, that fire in the Fiume oil refinery was the work of Soviet agents. It's true that Marshal Tito's troops stretched around Yugoslavia's uneasy borders are on the alert. That's nothing new. They've been that way since the Comin- form (Communist Bureau) blacklisted Tito 15 months ago on charges of pushing "nationalistic" policies and began a campaign to oust him from power. Would Be Natural Perhaps its true that the heaviest concentration of Tito's forces are in spot of past reported in Istanbul.

Macedonia is the sectior of southern Yugoslavia wedgec between Bulgaria and Albania, both Cominform members. Reinforcements in Macedonia would be natural to ward off any attempt of Comiform countries to incite rebellion with the promise of uniting the Macedonian sections of Yugoslavia, Greece and Bulgaria into a separate state. But actual disposition of Yugoslav troops and their strength has been and will remain, secret unless and until a showdown comes Reports of Yugoslav troops can be put down as a variety ol rumors and diplomatic guesswork Cortland Resident Dies In Washington Mrs. Malone, 56, of Cortland died Thursday at the home of her daughter, Mrs Vernell Ditter at Washington, D.

Tito Claimed Responsible Unrest In Albania Speculated; People Vowed Discontent BY JOHN M. HIGHTOWEK WASHINGTON, Aug. 29. Stalin's grip on the Communist satellite states has been reported sharply shaken by his row with Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia. The information comes in highly responsible reports reaching Washington from eastern Europe.

These reports are expected -to play an important part in the meetings being scheduled for next month among Secretary of State Acheson, British Foreign Minister Bevin and French Foreign Minister Schuman. Western diplomats foresee 1n these meetings a three-power review of the grand strategy of the cold war with Russia, followed by a determined effort to devise new moves against the Kremlin. Due Here in Week Bevin is due here in little more than a week, preliminary to sit in on the British-American-Cah- adian economic talks. Schuman's name has been brought into the picture only in the last few days, with word from. Paris that he will arrive here well ahead of the Sept.

20 opening date for the United Nations General Assembly in New York. The review predicted that the east-west struggle will be divided into three major sections. These, together with the most responsible estimates of the situation in each area, are: 1. The Far western powers have taken a complete defeat in China. Acheson, Bevin and Schuman will; be mostly cori- efned with trying to save th'a rest from Communism.

2. Eastern poli- cal control is no longer as stable as it was at the time of the Tito satellites-countries have -encountered consistent nomic difficulties and large groups of their people are reported discontented, Western diplomats now are beginning to speculate over political developments within Albania. Some American informants say that country, almost isolated from contacts with the west, has been experiencing considerable internal turmoil. Affects Atmosphere The independence of neighboring Yugoslavia evidently has affected the political atmosphere in Albania considerably, and diplomatic authorities report evidence that Moscow has little confidence in Premier Hoxha. There seems to be no doubt that if the western foreign ministers can stir up further trouble for the Russians in eastern Europe they will do so.

3. Western of industrial production, the Marshall plan countries are far along the road to recovery. But this has not been accompanied by equal success in speeding. trade and knocking down tariff barriers. Moreover, responsible, officials here are beginning to wonder riously whether the Europeans will be able to stand on their own, feet by the time American recovery aid ends in 1952.

On the whole, however, top officials of the Truman administration still appear reasonably confident that the Marshall plan can do not the job of European recovery, provided measures can be found in the next few months to deal successfully with the British economic crisis.
