U. S. Airline Takes Fight Against T.- C. A. Tllourts

wasrrmorozv, Aug. 11 __((;P) “Colonial Airlines today went to court in a last-ditch effort to up- set the Canadian-American air agreement.

The company asked for a Federal court order restraining the civil Aeronautics Board from granting ‘Trans-Canada Air Lines a permit to 11y between Montreal and New York:

The pact. which Colonial con- tends is illegal. gives Canada tho right to operate on that mute. Colonial said in filing suit that competition from T.C.A. will "re- duce and eventually destroy" Coi- onial’s business.

No date has been set for the hearing of Colonials complaint.

Colonial's first request is that ‘the C.A.B. be ordered not to hold a hearing scheduled for Aug. 29 to consider a formal 'f‘.C.A. applic- ation for tho new flying rights.

It asiu also that T.C.A. be re- fused a permit until such time as the United States ratifies the agreement.

The pact. ‘classed as an executive lgreement, was not submitted to

the Sttnate but will come up for re-

view in a. year. Its critics argue that actually it is a treaty and, as such. should have Senate approv- ll

A maiority of the Senate backs Oolonial in its objection to the agreement. llbrty-nine Senators wrote to President Truman Aug. 1 complaining that the pact was reached by secret negotiation and asking him to keep it from going into operation. Truman has made ‘no comment.

WASHINGTON, Aug, y; (Al?) -- The United states has Bmnlld Yl-ilioslavla Pflmission to b“? the materials for a steel mill from an American company, Gav- Brnmenit officials disclosed to- night.

The decision marks the biggest step yet taken by the United States Government to strengthen Marshal Tito in his fight with Mcacow.,

1t ls the first time since the 601d war began that the Truman administration has agreed in ship "war potential" goods to a Communist-ruled country.

The shipment was approved af- ter months of argument between the State and Notional Defence Department; and other top agen- cies of the Government.

The mill. valued at approxim- ately 53.000011). will be built by the Continental Fioundry and Machinery Company or plug. burgh and is to be delivered in 12 months.

Government officials said it is a blooming and stabbing mill de- signed to process and refine steel ingots and would not increase Yugoslavian steel capacity but only its ability to refine it.

State Secretary Donn Acheson. it was learned, led the fight for approval with the Truman Ad-

mlniitrol-iml. arguing lit was a “calculated risk" necessary to bolster Yugoslavian recovery.

The Yugoslav Government, in

appealing for the right to place an order for the mill, said it was vitally needed to tum out rails and other atructual steel essen- tial to the Yugoslav recovery pro-

gram.

Defence Secretary Louis Jclhn- son first opposed the deal on ae- curity grounds. olificials said. But later, he dropped his objections on the understanding the decision can be reviewed prior to ship- ment ln the light of conditions

existing then.

Acheson has agreed to this pro- vision and the Commence De- partment now has notified the Yugoslav Embassy that the ne- cessary export licence for the mill will be grantedl ,

Russia and the other Eastern European Governments can be

expected to blast the move as a sign that Tito is now allylng himself with the capitalist coun- tries. .
