Tito Under Fire As Reds Warn Of War Dangers
Moscow, Nov. 29 — (U.P.) The eight-nation Communist Information bureau today warned Communists against underestimating the dangers of a new war and called for the overthrow of Marshal Tito from inside and outside Yugoslavia.
This was disclosed by the Communist Party newspaper Pravda, which published two full pages of a resolution adopted by top Communist leaders from eight countries who held a secret Cominform meeting recently in Budapest, Hungary.
The meeting was held during "the second half of November," Pravda said. Attending were delegates from Russia, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, France, Czechoslovakia, Italy and Poland.
Marshall Tito and the Yugoslav Communist party were read out of the compinform in the spring of 1948. The resolution adopted at the most recent meeting again attacked Tito and said the "Tito clique" had made Belgrade an American center of espionage and anti-Communist propaganda. It accused Tito and his followers of climbing to power "in the disguise of friends of the Soviet Union."
The resolution confirmed the analysis of the international situation made by the Cominform at its initial meeting in September, 1947, stating that the world was divided into two hostile camps.
Despite the fact that the peace camp headed by the Soviet Union was growing steadily stronger, the resolution said, the warmongers' camp headed by Anglo-American imperialists still was actively preparing a new war for world domin-ation.
"It would be mistaken and harmful to underestimate the danger of a new war prepared by the imperialist powers headed by the United States and England," the resolution said.
Active preparations for such a war by the Anglo-American camp are evidence by the dismemberment of Germany, the Marshall plan, the Atlantic pact, refusal to accept a ban on atomic weapons, sabotage of the United Nations and disruption of peaceful regulation in Japan, the resolution said.
Meanwhile, informed sources in Belgrade said today the Yugoslav government is known to be aware of the Cominform designs. They added the government has seen that most agents in the past and is ready for anything they might offer in the future.
The cominform agents have been instructed to make forays' spread Cominform leaflets and commit sabotage, the sources said.
Other sources said the Yugoslav decision to try 12 alleged Russian spies will provide the first concrete evidence of Soviet sabotage attempts in Yugoslavia so far.

Hollywood Soprano Cuts 2,000 Discs; They Are All For Amateur Songwriters
Lewis To Meet With Union Men
New York, Nov. 29—(U.P.)—John L Lewis meets with his top United Mine Workers officers today to decide whether the nation must face a new soft coal strike Wednesday midnight.
The decision, however, may not come before Wednesday. But, the union's 200-man policy committee is certain to decide before Thursday whether 400,000 soft coal miners are to leave their jobs again, this year.
The policy committee was scheduled to begin meeting here Monday but Mr. Lewis, with customary abruptness, said he couldn't arrive until today.
Informed sources said Lewis stayed in Washington an extra day hoping that federal labor officials could set up new contract talks between the mine workers union and the soft bargaining position of bargaining would give Mr. Bush a excuse to postpone the threatened coal strike on Thursday, Dec. 1.
Observers believe Mr. Lewis is anxious to postpone the new strike call for about 30 days. They believe he is reluctant to call his miners off their jobs again before Christmas.
A United Press survey shows the miners have worked only about 150 of the 232 working days so far this year. This means the average mine worker has lost nearly $1,200 in wages in 1949.
"The idea." explained Miss Warren, "is to give these amateurs something to help sell their songs Instead of putting them on paper or plinking them out on a piano for the publishers, they can take in these recordings."
Mr. Lewis has not yet indicated what he wants in the way of a new contract. But he has estimated his demands would cost the industry between 30 and 35 cents for every ton of soft coal mined.
Gilson Still Missing After 25 Days
Harry C. Gilson, College senior, is reported still missing today by Lawrence police. He disappeared 25 days ago. There are no clues to indicate what may have happened to the 22-year-old honor student.
Gilson was involved in a slight automobile accident on Nov. 3, and has not been seen since. Clyde L. Coe, engineering senior and half-brother of the missing student, said that Gilson's automobile is parked in a lot near his former residence.
Hollywood, Calif., —(U.P.)—Singer Annette Warren wound up her 2,000th recording recently and said there is just one reason she isn't the most famous soprano in the world; nobody has ever heard those 2,000 platters.
Nobody, that is, except the songwriter and Miss Warren. And if that doesn't qualify as a thankless job it will do until something better comes along.
Miss Warren is vocalist for a recording company that caters to amateur songwriters. These would-be Gershows send in their lyrics and music. She sings them, and the men in the control booth fix up two records.
Just two are made, one for the amateur and one for the office files. They never get on the disc jockey shows, they never hit the juke boxes, and you can't buy them in the record stores.
"It was rather hard at first," Miss Warren said. "But now I'm getting pretty fast at it. I can scan the notes and the words while the orchestra's playing the introduction. Then I take a deep breath and go into it—cold."
It works out fine. The publisher gets $50 a song; the songwriter gets his recording; and Miss Warren gets a handsome salary for overworking her vocal chords.

Pumpkin Papers Still Mystery In Hiss Trial
New York, Nov. 29—(U.R.)-The government questions Whittaker Chambers again today in an attempt to straighten out who gave him the mysterious pumpkin papers.
Claude B. Cross, defense attorney, ended his cross-examination of the former communist spy Courier Monday in the sixth day of the second Alger Hiss perjury trial. Chambers decided on the stand that one of the 47 copies, summaries, and paraphrases of secret state department documents which he has testified Hiss gave him in the first three months of 1938 might have been given to him by the late Harry Dexter White.
White, former under-secretary of the treasury, died of a heart attack. Aug. 17, 1948, soon after denying to the house committee that he was a member of the communist apparatus which Chambers charges tried to infiltrate the government in the 1930's.
And he admitted testifying to a secret sub-committee hearing of the house committee on unAmerican activities that "it's possible" some of the documents were from Henry Julian Wadleigh, 44-year-old former state department employee who has admitted furnishing department secrets to the Communists but who has denied giving any of the documents in evidence in this trial to Chambers.
Hiss, 45, was assistant to assistant secretary of state Francis B. Sayre at the time the documents in evidence are dated. He is charged with perjury in denying that he ever gave any unauthorized documents to Chambers and that he ever saw Chambers after Jan. 1, 1937. His first trial on the same charges ended after six weeks on July 8 with a hung iurv.
Chambers in the first Hiss trial named Hiss, Wadleigh, and White as three of his five alleged sources of information in the government. He said White at the time was the monetary expert of the Treasury department.
Monday, Cross handed him the government's exhibit 10—one of the typed summaries. That exhibit, showing a government watermark, contains far eastern intelligence of the time, referring to a Chinese counter-offensive and the reported movement of 80,000 troops from Japan via Mukden. Chambers said he believed Hiss gave it to him but could not be "absolutely sure."
Player Is Too Big In Head

Burlington Liars Club Will Have Trouble Picking A National Winner In 1949
Washington, — (U.P.) This is the season for lies—just before the Burlington, Wisconsin Liar club picks the biggest liar of 1949.
Otis C. Hulett, club president, has forwarded some dandles that have been entered in this year's contest. Lie entries have come from all over the world.
A gentleman from Panther Burn, Miss., sent in this:
"I had a mule that wasn't good amuch else so I taught him to pick cotton. He plucked the blooms with his teeth until about half an hour before quitting time. Then he would back into his job and kick 'em off. He seemed to be better and faster than the finer ones, and he him in the Blytheville, Ark, national cotton picking contest. He came up to the finish line two pounds behind, turned and kicked enough into his sack to win."
Mrs. Joseph Warren, Manchester, Iowa, has a friend who has a cousin in Arkansas.
This cousin of the friend loves nothing better than to go possum hunting. But like his hound dog, he's lazy. Lazier than the dog, in fact. So the cousin of the friend
educated the hound; taught the pup to do all the hunting.
"This cousin of my friend," the lady writes, "went even farther than that. He cut boards the size of the possum skins he would like to have Then he'd show it to the dog and away the dog would go and bring back the right size possum. One day, the wife of the cousin of my friend was doing some ironing and the cousin of my friend was asleep. The dog looked at the ironing board. He went yipping into the woods. They heard of the pup once from a friend of the friend of the cousin—in Louisann. And not long ago one of the family got a letter saying the dog had been seen in Florida. This cousin of my friend concluded he had raised a 'no-good critter. Dune, too."
