Welles Opposes
Four Power Plan
NEW YORK (UP) — Former
i Undersecretary of State Sum-
ner Welles declares the future
safety of the United States is
imperiled by those who advo-
i cate a four-power military al-
liance.
Welles claims the same reac-
tionary forces which stood for
isolationism are demanding the
military alliance — instead of
what he calls a "true" world or-
ganization.
He told a New York audience
last night that the four-power
plan constitutes a threat of
world imperialism.
In his own words, Welles said:
"We would all he blind if we
failed to recognize the evidences
of a trend towards imperialism
within many sectors of our own
public opinion "

Pilots Are Dropping
Steady Stream Of
Supplies For Tito
MARSHAL TITO'S HEAD-
QUARTERS IN THE TflUGO-
SLAV MOUNTAINS. (UP)— Al-
lied pilots are dropping a stea-
dy stream of supplies for Mar-
shal Tito's Partisans not 10
miles from German positions.
John Talbot, representing the
combined British and Ameri-
can press, tells of standing on a
Yugoslav field watching the sup-
: ply-loaded parachutes flutter to
1 the ground.
The entire operation was in
(barge of a British major as-
I sisted by an American captain.
Shortly before complete dark-
ness had overtaken the country-
side, the two officers led a
small group of native guerrillas
to one of the dropping grounds.
Huge bonfires were lit to
lead the Allied airmen to the
field.
Then as darkness set in,
the first plane approached.
The pilot circled the field
several limes—losing alti-
tude witli each run. Talbot
says lie suddenly saw the
bomb doors open. And as (he
plane passed the first bon-
fire, it left a stream of para-
chutes in its wake.
Before the ground crew could
collect the supplies the second
plane approached The pilot re-
peated the maneuvers of the
first.
And for four hours, Britisn
and American food, clothing, am-
munition and medical supplies
showered out of the sky.
Some articles—such as non-
breakable containers of medi-
cal supplies—were dropped with-
out parachutes. Talbot says he
was more than a bit nervous as
some 15 hags came whistling out
of the darkness to land with
a terrific thud about 20 yards
from where he was standing
During the past winter,
British and American pilots
have been taking appalling
risks to fly supplies to the
Partisans.
However, now that the weath-
er has improved, the supply line
i which was once a trickle has
grown to a stream. And as mil-
itary activities expand through-
out the many battlefields, the
Yugoslav National Army wili
be flooded with everything they
need to carry on their fight
against the Nazis.

Rogers' body has been tem-
porarily interred in a Los Ange-
les mausoleum pending removal
to its final resting place in the
rugged country of eastern Ok-
lahoma where he learned the
roping tricks and acquired the
droll humor that later brought
him world-wide renown.
Henthorne says less than 100
persons will attend the final
services for Rogers. They will
include newspaper reporters,
radio newsmen, photographers
and newsreel cameramen.
Rogers and Wiley Post, the
famous Oklahoma City globe-
girdling pilot, were killed Aug-
ust 15th, 1935 in a tragic ending
to what they planned as a leis-
urely air jaunt around the
World. They were killed instant-
ly when Post's plane crashed
on a takeoff at Point Barrow,
Alaska.
