Emanuel Shinwell, minister of war, in a speech at Aspalria declared it is time that the American and other critics quit "sneer ing" at Britain and remember that "the game of twisting the lion's tail is a risky one and it may recoil on those who indulge in this pastime." COMES AT WORST TIME From the British point of view the criticism from abroad couldn't come at a worse time. U.

British and Canadian officials will go into a huddle in Washington Sept. 6 to see whether they can find a lasting cure for Britain's dollar shortage. The British been hoping for decisions it ached in an atmosphere of sympathetic understanding. The sharp criticism makes them wince. The Sunday Pictorial printed a cartoon in which a slovenly Bowery bum of a John Bull stands in front of a bar room labeled "Socialist Saloon" holding out a tin cup to Uncle Sam.

"This insulting cartoon typical of hundreds of others on the same theme has just appeared in the American press," said the Pictorial's caption. TWO SHARP QUESTIONS The Pictorial said some Ameri cans seem to think Britain is "liv ing on borrowed time and Ameri can money," and demanded to know: "Well is it also conceded that twice in this century the Americans have lived on borrowed time and British lives?

New York gunmen originally were blamed for the shotgun blasting July 20 of Gambler Mickey Cohen and three other persons as they emerged from a Sunset Strip night spot. Cohen himself, however, said the shots were fired by "local punks." BOWRON BLASTS MICKEY A Cohen henchman, Neddie Herbert, was fatally wounded. Meantime Cohen, missing since a police transcript of conversations in his home was made pub-lie, was branded by Mayor Fletcher Bowron as "public enemy No. 1." "Master minds of organised crime have painted Mickey Cohen as a nice friendly little guy with a haberdashery," the mayor said. This, he charged, is just, so much "man-made smog," and loaves him "appalled, shocked and fighting mad."

More than 1,000 acres had been blackened. Approximately 200 men were on the fire lines. But the crews and equipment were pulled back to "secondary lines" as the country was too rough for bulldozers to work effectively and the fire was running too fast for the hand crews. The fire at one time threatened five ranch houses, but all of them were saved. There are at least 15 homes in the fire area, but no property damage had been reported.

The state forestry service said the fire was reaching more level terrain and expected to bring it under control tomorrow morning.

The note charged that "Gestapo methods of rule prevail throughout Yugoslavia" and that the "Communist party of Yugoslavia has become a. branch of the political police." The Russian document, delivered in Belgrade on Thursday, rejected an earlier Yugoslav charge that the Cominform resolution "excommunicating" Tito was "criminal." Moscow said that "only two governments in Europe regard the resolution as a criminal leaflet. They are the Greek and the Spanish. LINKED WITH HITLER "Plainly, the declarations of the Yugoslav government are worth no more than similar declarations once made by Hitler and Mussolini." The note made no mention of Tito's recent statement that Yugoslavia has an army of 500,000 men ready to fight any aggressor, including Russia. The note urged Cominform followers to "compel their present leaders to admit their mistakes openly and honestly and to correct them or, if the present leaders of the Communist party of Yugoslavia are incapable of doing this, to remove them and put forward a new internationalist party leadership of Yugoslavia." "In all Marxist parties where there is internal party democracy, such a method of changing the leadership is natural and entirely normal," the broadcast said.

"The revelations in this expose ascribe great power to one man, who is credited with delivering the California legislature for his special clients," Knight said. "It is a sinister and cynical story. "Every Californian should read it and when he does, he will burn with shame, and at the same instant determine to do something about it." Samish, the lieutenant-goternor said, should be given another chance to talk. "But this time, under oath, and before a committee of Ihe California legislature. The people are not helpless.
