Says SS Helping Yanks The Yugoslavia delegate to the economic and social council of the United Nations, Stane Krasovec, provided some elaboration of the Yugoslav complaints concerning the Austrian occupation zone in a statement in New York Saturday.

He asserted that German police, including former SS members, had joined American military personnel in the arrest of Yugoslavs; that Yugoslav property "and machinery in the US zone had been dismantled and removed and that German police were permitted to carry on "terroristic activities" against citizens of Yugoslavia.

US forces are holding 167 Yugoslav barges and rtver boats which German troops stole during the war. The United States is holding these vessels pending an agreement that will permit unrestricted movement of the craft on the Danube.

Last Statewide USO Fund Drive To Start Wednesday By BETSEY BIGGS American-Statesman Staff Official launching of the last statewide USO fund drive will take place in Austin Wednesday. Adding a champagne splash to the launching will be a half-hour musical and dramatic radio show over Texas Quality Net- Longhorns Run Wild In Buffalo Rout Visitors Take Worst Defeat In History From UT By TEX SCIIRAMM Amririin-Sttmn SporU Staff Frolicking in a touchdown orgy that had 25,000 spectators talking to themselves and anybody else that would listen, Dana Bible's awesome Longhorns scored in every quarter and in about every msr.r.cr possible Saturday afternoon to swamp plucky but outmanned Colorado, eleven 76 to 0. It was the third straight victory for Texas over its western foe and the most disastrous defeat ever suffered by a Colorado eleven.

Th Longhorns had previously defeated the Buffaloes in 1940 and 1941 by sizeable scores but Saturday's rout got completely out of hand, with the Texas first string playing only two thirds of the first quarter and never re-entering the game. The lone Colorado victory over Texas came in 1908 when the Bisons managed a 15-0 decision. But 33 dog-tired and dejected lads from Boulder will long remember the sight they saw Saturday afternoon. Their memories will recall whippet-like backs that streaked through, around, and at times, over would be tacklers with, what looked to be comparative ease. They will remember dazzling catches of almost radar-directed passes.

They will have visions ef linemen stealthily sifting through their line to block punts. But most of all, they will carry with them the picture of 11 white jerseyed gridiron technicians parading across their goal line and ten footbalij sailing through the cross-bars lor 78 devastating points. Jt just wasn't Colorado's day. Bumgardner Scores First In rolling up 594 yards from scrimmage, including 307 overland and 287 in the air, the Longhom looked like just about the last word in football powess. From the time Texas' great fullback, Bobby Laytie, pitched a perfect 19-yard strike to Max Bumgardner in the end zone until Freshman Billy Pyle cut through left guard in the waning minutes of the game for a 49-yard dash into pay dirt, there seemed nothing the Longhorns were not able to accomplish and did accomplish.

The Steers clicked for 11 out of 14 attempted forwards, intercepted three of their opponents' offerings, blocked two punts, one going for a touchdown, kicked ten out of a possible 11 point-after-touchdown tries, scored four times by air and seven by land. On Colorado's side of the ledger, the visitors were only able to pena-trate Texas territory on two occasions, once shortly after the start of tle second half against a Long-horn eleven composed composed of second, third and fourth stringers, and again in the final period against Coach Eck Curtis' team. Tex Reilly, Colorado's main offensive threat, attempted 16 passes, completing six with three interceptions. Reilly. however, would have boasted a much better average had he had the Longhorns' sticky fingered receivers on the end of his pitches.

TURK SPOKESMAN REJECTS DEMAND LONDON. Sept.

28. (INS) A Turkish spokesman Saturday night flatly rejected Russia's renewed demand for joint sharing of the Dardanelles defenses and said hit mobilized countrymen "won't budge an inch." The Turkish Embassy spokesman declared that Turkey "under no circumstances" will back down, and a dispatch from Istanbul noted the concern there over Russia's new diplomatic move. doubted that war would be the alternative to a rejection of Russia's most recent note, but believed it portends an "abnormal occurrence." This reference was not further explained. Turks Depressed Turkish official quarters were de-described as "depressed" by the Soviet note, and there seemed little chance that they intended to change their stand that the defense of the strait should be internationalized, and not be made a purely bilateral matter between Turkey and Russia. "If Turkey, while rejecting the Soviet Union's proposal, should create military establishments in the strait together with non-Black Sea powers, then this would be in direct contradicition to the interests and security of the Black Sea powers," the Russian note warned.

"It would not be correct to forget that the Soviet's Black Sea coastline, stretching 2,100 kilometers about 1.260 miles opens access to the most important economic regions with the direct participation of the Soviet Union in the defense of the strait arises from the Soviet Union's vital interests," the note continued.

Italo-Yugoslav Border Set By Trench Line' Belgrade Assertion Of Non-Ratification Brings Non-Pay Bar PARIS, Sept. 28 4JP) The peace conference aDnroved Saturday the "French Line" as a frontier between Italy and Yugoslavia 'and the establishment of the interna tionalized zone of Trieste, and Yugoslavia defiantly announced she would not sign the Italian treaty nor withdraw troops from the disputed area. Over strenuous Soviet-Slav ob jections the delegates then by an 11 to 8 vote retaliated by inserting into the treaty an American pro nosal which would bar Yugoslavia from collecting any of the 000,000 reparations she is claiming from Italy if she persists in her stand. The vote was not a two- thirds majority, however.

'No One Trembles' The action took place in the Italian political commission, where US Senator Tom Connally declared of Yueoslavia's threat "no one is trembling in his boots." He pre dieted outside the conference that Yugoslavia "on reflection and consideration" would eventually sign the treaty. Soviet Delegate Andrei Vishinsky charged that the American article barring Yugoslavia from privileges of the treaty "violated" the Big Four agreement in the Council' of Foreign Ministers and had "hidden aims" behind it. His statement indicated Russia would oppose the article both in the conference plenary session and in the Foreign Ministers' Council. Vice Premier Edvard Kardelj of Yugoslavia asserted the article was a "dictate" and represents "a threat and an attempt to intimidate Yugo slavia." American Proposal The, American proposal, presented by US Ambassador to Italy James Dunn, said "the provisions of the present treaty shall not confer any rights or benefits on any state named in the preamble of the present treaty as one of the allied an4 associated powers, or on its nationals unless such a state becomes a party to the treaty by deposit of its instrument of ratification." It was approved 11 to 8 with Greece abstaining. France and Ethiopia joined the Slav bloc in opposition.

The French Line, approved -by the commission, was adopted during the Foreign Ministers Council in July and bisects Istria from north to south, leaving a section in which it is intended to create the international zone around Trieste.
