Angry American Note
Tells Marshal Tito that
Failure to Meet Terms
Of Ultimatum .Will
Carry Issue Directly to
UN Security: Council;
Denounces Attacks
Upon Unarmed Ameri
can Transport Manes
Washington, Aug. 21.?The United
States tonight handfcd Yugoslavia an
ultimatum to release within 48 hours
all survivors of two United States
Army planes shod down by Marshal
Tito's fighters, or be brought before
the United Nations Security Council
for endangering the year-old peace.
Acting Secretary of State Dean
Aeheson gave the bristling Ameri
can note to Yugoslav Charge d'Af
faires Sergije Makiedo at 5:00 p. m.,
(EST) for immediate transmission to
his government.
It was expected to reach Belgrade
around 10 p. m., (EST) giving Tito
until that hour Friday night to com
ply with the demand or accept the
consequences.
Will Wait.
High-ranking Army officers said'
that the War Department will await
results of diplomatic negotiations be
fore deciding whether retaliatory
action is essential to protect Ameri
can transport planes forced -to fly
oyer Yugoslav territory.
Pending the result of State De
partment negotiations with the
Yugoslav government, these sources
said, the Army will refrain from
assigning fighter escorts to accom
pany its uparmed European trans
ports or from taking any other form
of retaliatory action.
Attacks
The ultimatum denounced the ma
chine-gunning of the two unarmed
American transports as deliberate,
unprovoked and "outrageous," and
it warned Tito that his government
will be held strictly accountable
for any American lives lost in the
two shootings.
At least three of the five Ameri
cans aboard the C-47 transport shot
down August 19 were killed, accord
ing to Yugoslav accounts..
What action could be ' taken by
the UN Security Council if Tito ig
nores the ultimatum was uncertain.
Under the Covenant, Yugoslavia
might be hailed before the council
on any one of a number of counts,
ranging all the way up to an out
right breach of world peace.

PRES. HOTCHKISS CORRECTS
MISTAKE RE CARNIVALS
August 21, 1946
Mr. G. A- Reuse, Editor,
Farmville Enterprise.
Dear Editor: . .. >
As president of the local Kiwanis
Club, I am much concerned over a
'state of confusion which has come
about as a remit of a traveling car
nival coming lido this town last week.
To begin with, I wish to emphati
cally state that the Kiwanis Club had
absolutely nothing whatsoever to do
with this carnival coining to Harm
ville, nor does-there exist within the
club any plan to sponsor any travel
ing carnival in the future. As a
matter of fact, it fa my beltisf that
we would be more inclined to oppose
such operations. ?
I would like in.
inform the public fust what the Ki
wanis Club
The
operated by I ^
wan is Chih, of fattmltte, will be an
annual event! ?

sued this moraine by Director I. O.
Schaub of tin State College Exten
iP
He pointed out that the index on
the purchase price of farm lands in
North Carolina is about tvriee the
average for the United States.
"After the. last war, the price of
agricultural commodities was about
the first thing to drop andafter 1980,
farmers had a .very hard time meet
ing payments on their farms,". Di
rector Sehaub said. "Whether this
will happen again, we do not know,
but it is wise to consider what may
be the prices received for our crepe
over the period for which farm pay
ments will have to be met
"In 1920 many growers bought
farm lands at high prices and ex
ported to pay for them with forty
cent cotton. When cotton dropped to
ten cents a pound, the profits were
all gone and there was nothing with
which to meet the payments as they
came due. Many growers lost the
savings of a lifetime by trying to
expand too much when prices were
high. &
"Buying farm land on a credit at
this time is extremely dangerous
business."

The safes started promptly at nine

at three o'clock. Bell's Warehouse

From the outset it was evident that
the bidding- was going to he brisk

After selling for an hour and fifteen
minutes at Bell's the sales moved
over to Monk's No. 2 and when the
sate was completed at Farmer's No.

Bell's for the rest of the day.
Seasoned observers remarked that

There is a much greater variation in
