Newspaper readers may be as tired of stories about increased travel as they are j about accounts of accidents incident to jammed traffic in every knovi means of conveyance, but the rest-1 less going and ?. om.ng of Tar Heels | and other Americans is still news.: In the scrambled me:s of papers on your reporter's typewriter desk is a folder advertising an elevn'-day, all-expense train-motor tour from New York to the Great Smokies Na tional Park and the Land of the Sky. Also notice that several moun tain resort hotels are staying open , this year two weeks later than usual. | There's a card from a friend vaca- j tinning in Florida saying that hotel.-, there are full at the season when ? usually they are boarded up. There's a propaganda story about air serv ice between Charlotte and Manteo, and another about efforts to get a franchise for a new Carolina to Chi cago air line. There arc newspaper clippings about three train wrecks, two plane crashes and a now out-of-date traf fic report showing f>l per cent in crease in fatal rasuaties during June. There are notes r?i a telephone con venation about an eastern highway patrolman who had been on duty for 73 hours with, only six hours sleep, the whose lime being devoted to an swering calls to highway accidents. The current daily list of charters issued by the secretary cf state in cludes. in the total of elevn", two air services, one automobile agency, the state committee for traffic safe ly. and a credit company to deal mainly in automobile installment paper. The inevitable conclusion to be drawn from this mess (that's the right word, although it is also a mass) of grist for the news-comment mill is that Amerlcn s. especially Tar Heels, have taken to wheels and air. they arc on the move?and they arc not too careful about how, when and where they go. That some will die many more will be injured, before they get home does not deter them from gcing. Market Selling Pressure Ease's New York, Aug. 23.?t/I'i?Selling pressure relaxed in today's stock market and most leaders rallied moderately but without any real vigor. American Telephone, the weak rpot of Thursday, revived somewhat but was ftir from retrieving ils los<. Ahead were IJ. S. Steel, Chrysler, Goodrich, (J. S. Rubber, and Doug las Aircraft. Bonds were a bit better. Com modities were mixed. Key Congressional Leaders Claim He Didn't Have Power Washington, Aug. 23. ? l/1'j ? President Truman, who already has erosscii verbal swords Itcpuh lieans over his budget revisit r. to day faced a major row with some of his own party leaders over the same issue. The Democrats are aroused by a .f-300.(inn.mm slash they contend he or dered in expenditures for flood con trol and rivers' and harbor projects | lor the fiscal years 1947 and 1948. Four key party members in Con grtss issued a statement terming the presidential actim "without either coustilutional or statutory authority" and in defiance of the will of Con gress. They described it further as "an assumption of unwarranted and dras tic power" and issued a call for a national protest meeli g in New Or leans Sept. 2?. The four are Senate President iVlrKclar (D) of Tennessee: acting Chairman Overton (l>) of Louisiana ol the Senate Common e Committee; Chairman Mansfield (D) of Texas of the House Rivers and Harbors Com mittee; ;> d Chairman Whittington (D) ol Misissippi of the House Flood Control Committee. PORT REGULATIONS ON WAR-TIME BASIS Washington, Aug. 23.?PI')? The coast guard has clamped bark war lime strictness of control over movement of foreign ships into Am erican ports under authority of anli spying laws. The coast guard declined today to discuss whether particular incidents led to the tightening up, reportedly asked by the stale department, which is interested in foreign visi tors and the justice department. which supervises immigration and enforces antiespionage laws. Foreign vessels also arc inspected on arrival by the treasury's customs and narcotics agents. Once again, foreign vessels must give advance notice of their port of destination and berth only in desig J noted docks, thus enabing United States investigators to check their . passengers, crews and contents us soon as they stop at American ; shores. Safety Of Five Missing U. S. Fliers Shot Down In Yugoslavia In Doubt Pilot Declares He Did Not Understand Yugoslav's Signals Gorizia, Italy, Ann. 23.?UV)?The pilot of the United Slates army transport plane forced down' in Yugoslavia three weeks ago said to day he failed to understand the sig nals of two Yugoslav fighter planes which later forced him down with gun fire. "The fighter planes flew around us a couple of times," said Capt. William Cronibie of Long Meadows, Mass. "One rocked its wings. I was I told after I landed that that was I the international signal to land. Hut in the American and British air j forces that means assembly. I did not know what they meant. They kept diving at us and pulling away." j lie recalled that he had flown 23 | missions over Marshal Tito's coun try during the war to drop badly needed supplies, but this was his first flight over the Vienna-Udine route on which a second unarmed U. S. army transport was shot down last Monday with possibly five Am- | crican fatalities. Cronibie was set free yesterday with three crewmen and two mili tary and three civilian passengers after an angry American ultimatum was issued to Yugoslavia. Cronibie said one of the Yugo slav bullets went through the tail of his transport and just above the left rudder, wounding one of the passengers, a Turkish captain, whose name was not disclosed. Cronibie said he erash lauded his j plane in a small corn field and that 110 one else was injured. The plane was wrecked. Yugoslav Airmen | Told Not To Fire Belgrade, Aug. 23.?i/l'i?Premier I Marshal Tito, having compiled with an angry U. S. ultimatum demand I ing the release of seven interned | Americans, has given his air force "the strictest orders" not to fire on ! American planes again, even if they I happen to fly over Yugoslavia with I out permission. Tito also lias assured United j States Ambassador Itichard C.

Nearly four weeks after the conference opened it adopted the first paragraph of the preamble of the Italian treaty. This paragraph names tlie mem bers of the conference who will be signatories. Its option was facilitated by with drawal of a Yugoslav amendment which presumably intended to ask that Albania be included. The para graph. as accepted, names till con ference members, except Norway, as signatories of the Italian treaty. A well informed delegate report ed that a bloc of nations?including France. China. Australia and Can ada?had organized a fight for a softer peace for Italy. The new bloc is expected to state its stand formally at a meeting later today of the Italian political and territorial commission. No other peace conference agencies are sche duled to meet today. The delegate said the nations fa ' voring an easing of the proposed Italian pence treaty, drafted by the big four, would maintain that Italy should receive greater credi; for aid given the Allies after overthrow of Mussolini. He disclosed that more than a dozen representatives met in a secret session yesterday to draft their prc Italian campaign, and added there was a possibility the bloc would ask for an casing of Italian reparations. Brazil placed hciself on record in favor of a "just peace" for Italy in i plenary session of the conference yesterday, and agreed Italy should be given consideration for aiding flic Allies in the closing days of the war in Europe. The Australian delegate. Dr. Her bert Evatt, told newsmen that he favored an easing of Italy's repara tions. and said he had prepared amendments to the proposed treiity designed to limit reparations t" the amount Italy could pay without crippling Iter economy. The treaty draft approved by the big four foreign ministers proposes reparations of Stno.nOh.OOO for Hus sia. and leaves up to the peace con ference the matter of making recom mendations on claims put forward by France, Yugoslavia, Greece, Al bania.
