TAMPA MORNING TRIBUNE, Tuesday, August 17, 1948 AMERICAN LOAN WEST REFUSES TO HELP DRAW ,1 N7 DAISY OF THE MOVIES ISSUE IN DIVORCE SUIT LOS ANGELES. Aug. 16. crochety temperament of Daisy, the movie dog, became an Issue In an alimony dispute today. Daisy is 11 years old and has developed a cranky streak, said the dog's owner, James L.

Renfro, who wants to stop his $200 a month alimony payments to his ex-wife, Babey-nee. Daisy's age is the equivalent of 77 years to a human, Renfro told the court, indicating he didn't think the. pooch will be able to carry on much longer. Renfro has a lot of other dogs trained for movie work, but the demand for their services has decreased lately. They just eat their heads off and don't even break even on their keep, he complained.

(U.R) United States, British and Trench delegates to the Danube River conference refused today to take part In the work of the drafting commit ieewhich will draw up a new treaty to-replace that of 1921. American Ambassador to Belgrade "Cavendish Cannon, explaining the Western stand, said the committee's work will consist merely of placing three or four amendments in their correct order. Cannon implied the conference, dominated by eastern European states, will adopt almost in its entirety the treaty proposed by the Soviet "Union.

Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Vishlnsky, who is directing the Soviet bloc strategy here, declared, "We will continue without the. United States." He said the attitude of the Western powers was not Justified. Chief British Delegate Sir Charles Peake, who was serving as conference chairman today, eventually declared the drafting committee constituted. It consists of representatives of the Soviet Union, Hungary, Czechoslo vakla, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia. New Amendment The British delegate also proposed an amendment to the Russian draft convention, which would provide for the new Danube River Commission to report periodically to the United Na tlons.

The amendment, strongly supported by Cannon, would substitute a com pletely new article for Soviet drafted article 41. The British amendment would have -the new commission report to the U.K. at stated intervals from the mo WAINWRIGIIT AT VETS' MEETING New York, Aug. 16. John L.

16. (A5) War Minister George Stratos told the cabinet tonight the Greek army has captured the highest peak of the Grammos mountains. He said divisions of the First Army were pushing forward unimpeded by the Communist-led guerrilla forces. The guerrillas were routed and abandoned their wounded and war material in their unorganized flight from the battlefields, he said. A general staff spokesman said earlier that the Communist defense along the entire southwestern sector of the Grammos front had crumbled under the Greek Army's drive.

Lycorrahi and Aetomilista, both of which had been headquarters for Communist General Markos Vafiades in earlier campaigns, were captured along with Zerma in the Greek Army sweep along the whole southwestern front. There were no indications of the number of guerrilla casualties of the past two days, and it Is not clear whether main guerrilla forces are running to Albania or being mopped up by the Greek Army. Big Area Cleared A general staff statement said 1140 square miles had been cleared in the big. general offensive launched June 21 on the Grammos front. Only 135 square miles containing 15 villages are still left to the guerrillas, the statement said During the offensive, the general staff said, 3830 guerrillas had been killed or captured.

Greek losses were described as 49 officers and 502 men killed, 230 officers and 2600 men wounded, and 30 missing. Territorial gains are large, and the loss is a big political blow to Markos who is trying to hold territory for the flag of "Free Greece." The perimeter has been reduced to about 22 miles. Guerrillas still had about 12'miles of Albanian border to use as a crossing, but there are only three beaten trails in the sector. Other main roads have been taken or closed by Greek Army fire. Markos' frontal wedge into Greece from Grammos is about six miles across.

Some military observers expect Markos to pull as many men as possible out of the Grammos line into Albania, despite the severe handicaps of military movement, and then reform to attack later north and east of Alevista to regain some Greek territory.

ment the treaty comes into force. It also provided for a conference of the treaty signatories to be con-' voked every three years by the secretary general of the Danube commission to examine any questions arising out of the convention. If the Danube commission Is not able to settle such questions, they should be submitted to the U.N. or to the court of international Justice If two or more members- of the commission demand it, according to the amendment. Soviet Article 41 states that any dispute shall be referred to a conciliation commisssion of one representative of each party and a representative appointed from among the nationals of states not parties to the dispute.

Truman Approves Inflation Bill But Hits It as 'Feeble' (Continued from Page 1) Ohio) who led the 1946 fight against OPA, Truman said rising prices "demonstrate the foolishness of those who argued two years ago that prices would 'take care of themselves if only we would get rid of price control'." He repeated his recent warning that the controls he requested "are needed now, are needed badly." "Unlss inflation is checked, the situation will get even worse, and we shall invite economic collapse," he said.

mi IS TURNED DOWN BY SAUDI ARAB! WASHINGTON, Aug. 16. (JPh The government of Saudi Arabi has re fused to accept a $15,000,000 Amer lean loan because of its displeasure with the alleged United States support of the Jewish cause in Palestine. "We feel we would like to get as sistance from a friend and not from someone helping our enemy," a spokesman for the Saudi Arabian legation told a reporter. Saudi Arabia deliberately permitted a $15,000,000 credit earmarked for it at the Export-Import Bank to expire July 15, he said, "because of the atti tude of the American government in the Palestine situation." The Export-Import Bank said the loan has been available to the Saudi Arabian government since Jan.

10 of 1946. The $15,000,000 is part of a total $25,000,000 authorized for reconstruc tion and modernization in Saudi Arabia. About $10,000,000 was used by the Saudi Arabians shortly after the money became available. The Saudi Arabian spokesman said his country now has "no intention" of asking the bank to reinstate the credit. Use Own Money "We will use our own money for the projects we have in mind," he said.

State Department officials said the Saudi Arabians never have given them a reason for not submitting projects to the Export-Import Bank which could draw on the $15,000,000 loan held for them. These officials said if political mo tives influenced this decision, they did not mention it' to the State Department. The Export-Import Bank credit was scheduled to be used to pay for a long-planned program of expanding and modernizing Saudi Arabian ports, highways, airports, hospital and elec trical facilities. King Ibn Saud of Saudi Arabia has been described as particularly anxious to finish the modernization program in his lifetime. The new Jewish state of Israel has an application for $100,000,000 loan pending for the Export-Import Bank.

Secretary of State Marshall said last week this request is receiving exhaustive consideration. DEATHS JOSEPH G. LYLERLT BROOKSVILLE, Aug. 16 (Special) Word has been received here of the death of Joseph Graham Lylerly, 80, in Salisbury, N. yesterday.

Days of sadness still come over us, Secret tears do often flow; But memory keeps here ever near Though she died one year ago. A face that is ever before us, A voice that we ran never forget; A smile that will last forever. In memory we see her yet. Husband. R.

The Justice Department today decided to go to bat with a treason prosecution in the so-called "Tokyo' Rose" broadcasts of World War II. Attorney Gen eral Tom Clark asked U. S. Army authorities in Tokyo to arrest 32 year old I a Toguri D' Aquino and send her to San Francisco to face a a Grand Jury there D'Aquino "at as early a date as possible. The action climaxes more than three years of investigation.

The inquiry, Clark said, indicated that Mrs. D'Aquino, born In Los Angeles July 4, 1916, was one of of six English-speaking Japanese women who broadcast over radio Tokyo between 1943 and 1945. The feminine broadcasts over Tokyo's powerful radio station became a legend among U. S. fighting men in the desolate places of the Pacific, to which they were beamed.

The programs were elaborately planned. Soft-voiced and sexy in appeal, they were employed as nightly reminders to American combat men on lonely islands of what- they were missing by not turning around and going back home. Emphasized Fun Often, the broadcasts included Imaginary descriptions of the scenes in famous American good-time centers, with heavy emphasis on how much fun the stay-at-homes were having. Throughout the war, the Japanese women broadcasters used the latest American dance. recordings as a backdrop for their patter.

Just how radio Tokyo got this up-to-the-minute, stuff has never been fully explained. However, one theory is that pickup stations spotted in South America made transcriptions from U. S. broadcasts and sent them to Japan by submarine. Mrs.

D'Aquino went to Japan shortly before the war broke out and was married there to a Portuguese. She has been- in custody in Tokyo previously In connection with the Investigation of. the 'Rose" broadcasts, but has been at liberty recently. As late as last December, the Justice Department said a two-year effort had failed to turn up the two witnesses needed under the Constitution to support filing of a treason charge. However, today's announcement said that both American and Japanese witnesses will be called to testify.

For this purpose, Clark disclosed that some 15 Japanese nationals will be brought to San Francisco from Japan for. the grand jury hearing. Trip By Steamer Mrs. D'Aquino will make the trip to the West Coast by steamship and Is expected there within 30 days. Justice officials wanted to fly her across the Pacific, but there were legal complications.

The treason statute provides that proceedings against a defendant must go forward on the spot where he or she first sets foot on American soil upon return to the country. Since any plane trip would Involve a stop in Hawaii or Alaska and the department wanted the grand Jury to sit In San Francisco, transportation by steamship was ordered. The Federal Courts have had some 35 treason trials in the nation's history. The top penalty upon conviction Is death, but the government never has carried out the death penalty against a civilian. WOMAN DROWNS IN ORLANDO LAKE ORLANDO, Aug.

16 (JP) Mrs. Ethel Louise Byrd, 42, drowned in Lake Lancaster while on a midnight swim, police reported Her body was recovered about 4 A. M. by police and fire department searchers after she was reported missing by her husband, Gilbert Byrd. She formerly lived at Jacksonville and Panama City.

TOM Scientifically Controled CONCRETE but fell short of his request in the bank credit restrictions. It authorizes the reserve board to up reserve re quirements on time deposits by 1V6 per cent (compared the present 6 per cent) and on demand deposits by 4 per cent (compared to a sliding scale ranging from 14 to 26 per cent, depending on size of city at present). The Federal Reserve Board is expected to put the new Installment buying curbs Into effect quickly. Right and Wrong Way It may go slower on the bank re serve hiking. Truman castigated the bill as ut terly inadequate.

There is a right way and a wrong way to fight inflation, he went on. The. right way, he said, is to strike hard at the trouble spots which repre sent the excesses of inflation, and at the same time, to help thet peojtfe who are its victims. His proposals, the President said, would have done just that. "These measures would prevent some people from getting too much and would help others to get enough.

They would put our whole economy on an even keel and thus would help everybody in the long range." The wrong way to deal with inflation, he continued, "is to let the plain people bear the brunt of its burdens while special interests reap the benefits of excessive prices." He said we have heard a lot lately from people who advocate the latter method. These people, he added, said it would be inflationary to boost the "pitifully inadequate benefits" of our social security laws, to increase the minimum wage for people who earn only $16 a week, and to encourage decent low-rental housing. "But these same men who would protect us from inflation by sacrificing these urgent needs refused to do anything about the excessive profits of giant corporations." Brings Up Tax Cut Truman said the opponents of his program "protest against the inflationary consequences which would follow If an aged couple trying to live on $39 a month were to have another $19.50 a month. "But they did not protest against the inflationary consequences of reducing the taxes of a couple with a $100,000 income so that they would have another $16,725 year to spend," he commented. He said these sar.ie men would stop inflation by letting wages fall behind prices, by abandoning farm price supports, and by creating widespread unemployment.

"I do not believe that we must sacrifice prosperity to overcome inflation," he asserted. "I do not believe that we should fight inflation by putting the average American family through the wringer. "I do not believe that we should fight inflation by withholding aid from those who are suffering most from skyrocketing cost of living. "I assert as part of my basic philosophy that this nation has the resources and the ingenuity to maintain good farm prices, good wages, full employment and maximum production."
