Draja Mikhailovitch, command er of Yugoslavia guerrillas, is reported to have sent a message to Marshal Petain. As the leader of the Yugoslav people in their heroic resistance to foreign conquerors, he tried to convince the old Marshal that national independence could not be won back by the methods followed in Vichy.

He exposed the illusion entertained by puppet governments to justify their deeds that a policy of collab oration can induce the Nazis to soften and relax their rule. He de clared that puppet governments only succeed in making it all the more exacting, cruel and inexorable. It is not known whether Gen. Mikhailovitch endeavored also to convert to his views and to his example Gen. Neditch, the Yugoslav equivalent of Petain.

Gen. Neditch's resignation has been announced in dispatches from Budapest and Berne but the news lacks official confirmation. But judging Gen. Neditch by what he did in the past, his volun tary abandonment of office should surprise no one. He was the Minister of War who, on Nov.

10, 1940, when Italian bombs fell on Monastir. urged Prince Paul, then regent of Yugoslavia, to launch an attack on the armies of Mussolini painfully entangled in the Greek campaign. Neditch was sure that sooner or later his own country would be drawn into the conflict He thought that the wisest course was to drive the Italians into the Adriatic while they were oft their guard. That bold recommendation by Neditch ended in his dismissal from office. However, in August, 1941, his turn came to despair of his nation's fu ture and he patched up a bargain with the dictators.

Today, owing to Gen. Mikhailovitch's achievements, he must know better. There is no parallel in Nazi- ridden Europe for what Gen. Mikhailovitch and his Chetniks have accomplished. They have created a permanent front of their own.

And, yet, they have to deal with gar risons, planted all over the country by no less than four powers. Ger many holds the whole Serbia proper and half of Slovenia which she formally annexed. Italy has in her grip the Adriatic coast line and the 4 Text of Phone Order Three Types of Priorities Established by U. S. Board 9 Vx xi rls in Scrap Sidelights Part of Old Furnace Hauled In Metal Required for Admission Jto Charlestown Event Fretty girls in evening gowns lugged everything from vacuum cleaner part3 to a chandelier to gain admission to the "scrap formal" of the Girls Service Organization at the Charlestown Army and Navy Y.

M. C. A. last night. Heavy piece of the evening was brought in by the perspiring sailor escorts of Miss Virginia Gray of Brookline and Miss Muriel Quin-cy of Holbrook, who managed to unearth a portion of an old furnace near Miss Gray's home.

The sailors estimated the weight of the metal at more than 100 pounds. Door knobs, little brother's toys and even a sword of ancient vintage gained admission for 400 girls from all parts of Greater Boston, Miss Doris Wakefield, Back Bay, in charge of activities, announced. The city of Monipelier, has donated a l2'-t-ton steam roller for scrap to flatten Hitler with bombs, but Frank II Wilcox of East Randolph, asks why do it with bombs? He writes: "Why not keep that steam roller intact, and use it on Hitler personally, when we get him. Stake him out, flat on the ground, and, beainnina at his feet, run the roller over him at one mile per hour, stopping a few minutes every six inches. Even then, his agony of body and mind wouldn't be one-billionth of what he has caused in this world, since he started on his career of madness." Twelve salvage trucks will leave Wellesley at noon Sunday for a junk junket to Boston.

The trucks, loaned by the town, Wellesley College, Dana Hall and a local contractor, will load up with 60 tons of scrap at the town yard in Wellesley Hills. They will then weigh in at the Diehl Company on Linden st. and thunder down the pike to Boston. Cannon and cannon balls will lend weight Sunday to the scrap collections in Ashland. Public Library trustees have given the local salvage committee the Civil War artillery tuhich has been on the library lawn since 1910.

An old windmill, farm machinery, and automobiles will also carry the town nearer the quota. The 3500 privately-owned trucks which are doing patriotic service in the Massachusetts scrap collection will all soon display an official "Scrap Corps" sticker on the driver's cab. Walter H. Wheeler New England regional director of the War Production Board, affixed the first one yesterday. Prof.

Lyman M. Dawes, head of the electrical engineering department at M. I. T. and chairman of the Tech committee on the conservation of critical materials, announced yesterday that Tech has gathered 50 tons of scrap and soon will have 100 tons.

Three main depots have been set up about the Charles River campus, with special sections for each type of metal. Each fraternity house and dormitory has a subsidiary bin. Among the articles already collected is a nine-ton steam turbine. John Ward and John Curran of the Prendergast Preventorium, 1000 Harvard Mattapan, yesterday presented 1500 pounds of scrap to Michael Cunniff of the Boston City Department of Public Works. Included in their donation were old copper plates used over a period of years in publications of the Boston Tuberculosis Association.

Charlestown Post 544 of the Veterans of Foreign Wars yesterday donated two German trench mortars weighing a ton each, two German machine guns, two giant cannon balls weighing 400 pounds each, and 18 Civil War cannon balls weighing 75 pounds each. All were trucked off to the Watertown Arsenal. There's honey in the scrap at Bedford. Boys investigating the insides of a rusty model sedan on the scrap pile broke up a hive of bees. St.

Moreover making great capital of the posedly historical claims of Alba, nia, she continuously endeavori to advance further down the valley Cf the Vadar to Salonica and when, ever Bulgaria seems reluctant to comply with Nazi orders. Berlin knows how to make her fear that a new Italian approach in the Aegean sea may be allowed. Hunga ry is in possession of Yugoslav ter. ritory between the Danube and th Theiss, not to speak of the Banat of Temesvar.

The Bulgarians ara installed in the eastern district of Macedonia wrested from them in 1918. But perhaps more ruthless against Mikhailovitch and his people than Germans, Italians, Hungarians and Bulgarians are the men at the head of the so-called independent stata of Croatia, in practice an appendix of Italy-Ante Pavelitch and others ct the same brand. They have been at pains to keep alive and bring to fury the anger of the Croat against the Serbs, dating back to the dictatorship of 10 years aeo. whirh never ceased to smoulder under the ashes. The result, as recorded by Gen.

Mikhailovitch, is appalline. Among Mikhailovitch's enemies on the home front are also to be men. tioned the bands of partisans on which the local population recently turned in sel'-defense. These bands are a medley of so-called Com. munists mixed tip with Bulgarian, Hungarian and Austrian freebooters.

Are they an independent force at work for purposes of their own against the revival of the spirit of old Serbia? Or are they linked to the country's foreign masters? The martyrdom of the Serbs and Slovenes under the combined terror, ism of their oppressors goes up every day and not even in Poland or in the Russian provinces which fell to the Germans, nothing like it can be found. Some months ago, about 600,000 human beings of all ages and conditions had been put to death, many of them after being tortured. In such circumstances, the charge of Fascism brought against Gen. Mikhailovitch is meaningless. Itcan only be taken at a sign of the guilty conscience of thosa Yugoslavs who, under the foreign yoke, are still continuing the deadly feuds of former years.
