LONDON, Feb. 18 (U. P.).—The Communist organ Daily Worker said today that the Soviet government had sent the Jugoslav gov-|& - ernment a note accusing Gen. . Draja Mikhailovitch of collaborating with the axis, but the report]! drew denials in authoritative quar=

ters. A Jugoslav government spokesman and Soviet press: spokesmen said no such note had been delivered. In recent weeks, both said, the Jugoslavs and Soviets have been

' negotiating to straighten out the

tlifferences between Mikhailovitch’s patriots and Communist partisans

® in Jugoslavia.

Some sources suggested that these | negotiations might have reached a| gs

stalemate and the Russians might have given out a hint tp the Daily Worker to put pressie on' the Jugoslavs. Admit Some Battles The Communist party organ said the Soviets had indisputable proof of Mikhailovitch’s collaboration with axis elements. There have been recurrent reports that ‘his forces at times have joined with Nazi Ustachi units in fighting antiaxis Jugoslav partisans led by Ivan Ribar and Sipplied with arms by the Russians. - Mikhailovitch is war minister in the exile government. Jugoslav government circles al-

* ways have vehemently denied that

Mikhailovitch has acted in collusion with any axis elements, though no “formal statement to this effect has been issued. Unofficial Jugoslav tireles acknowledged, however, that Mikailovitch’s followers occasionally battled the partisans to prevent depredations that would bring retaliatory executions from the axis without achieving anything of lasting military value. Mikhailovitch largely has been content to hoard his resources and build up his strength against the day when the allies invade Europe.

GREAT GALES SWEEP ROUTE OF CONVOYS

LONDON, Feb. 18 (U, P.).—Seamen on convoys arriving in Britain reported’ today that the greatest

gales of their experience have been sweeping the Atlantic from Newfoundland to the Azore islands. High seas and fierce winds buffeted ships day and night, the seamen said, and one ship of a convoy vanished into the sea. Crew members of a ship arrived at a northwest port said that there were fierce winds followed by rain “which fell like it was being poured down giant chutes.” “Everything loose. on deck went overhoard,” these men said. ‘Three lifeboats were blown from the davits and hurtled into the sea; all rafts were carried away and cabins

Two Court Decisions Save State Thousands of Dollars

Two recent court decisions upholding the Indiana gross income tax division have resulted in savings to the state of several hundred thousand dollars a year, Gilbert K. Hewit, division director, reported today. The first suit was brought by the, Ford Motor Co., which claimed that] certain sales made by it were exempt from the gross income tax

either because they were completed in interstate commerce or were completed outside Indiana. Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell ruled that Indidha was not prohibited from taxing the sales in question and awarded the gross income tax di-

vision a judgment. In the second case Allied Mills, Inc., appealed to the U. S. supreme court from a state supreme court decision upholding the collection of gross tax on certain transactions of an alleged interstate character. On Feb. 15 the U. S. high court upheld the state tribunal’s decision in favor of the tax division. David I Day Jr, and Byron B. Emswiller who tried the two cases

for the tax division, said that only about $125,000 in taxes was involved immediately in the two suits but that principles upheld by the courts mean the saving of much greater amounts every year.

000 ton battleships to put to sea. The Missouri, whichis only a stone’s throw from her sister ship, the Iowa, in the ‘Brooklyn navy yard probably will be the third.

16-Inch AA Guns

As the world’s largest battleship, the Iowa will give the American navy terrific offensive power. It has more anti-aircraft guns and heavy artillery, including batteries of 16inch guns, than ever was assembled : on one ship. The navy department took a group of newspapermen for an inspection®tour of the Brooklyn navy

touches being given to the Iowa. 9 According to reported figures the sea-colossus is 880 feet long, and its beam is 108 feet, which is only inches narrower than any lock in the Panama canal. This means that she can be quickly transferred to either the Atlantic or the Pacific.

Cost 80 Million Dollars

The Iowa reportedly has a draft! of 36 feet and a rated speed of more than 30 knots per hour. She is only 200 feet shorter than any of the biggest commercial passenger liners, such as the Normandie and the Queen Mary. She is reported to have 200,000. horsepower. The general estimate of the overall cost of the Iowa exceeds $80,000,000. The remaining ships in the 45,000ton class besides the Iowa, the New Jersey and the Missouri, are the Wisconsin and the Illinois, which {are both being constructed in the Philadelphia navy yard, and the Kentucky, which is being built at Norfolk, Va, At one time 10,000 workers were engaged every day on the Iowa. They worked three shifts around the clock.

12 crew members. The big ship, flying at an altitude of 1000 feet, crashed in a residential district late yesterday, narrowly missing severai homes near the lot. John W. Baker, ‘who watched as the plane flew overhead, said he heard the motors miss. Two distinct explosions followed, he said. . “Parts of the tail and one wing came off,” he said. “Then the plane nosed straight for the ground. Flames shot up about 30 feet after it hit.”

Elias, the Timid, Scared to Death

PARAMUS, N. J. Feb. 18 (U. P.).—Mr. and Mrs. John Mudie, who have been away from home, returned today and after some. ‘detective work solved the mystery of the cached hickory nuts and: the murdered eel. : They found their pantry supply of hickory nuts had been ransacked and the nuts hidden in shoes, drawers and a ukulele. They discovered that their pet ell Elias, was dead, Mudie did some deducing and came to the conclusion that squirrels had invaded the house and hid the nuts. Elias was a timid sort of eel who used to hide among the rocks in his bowl during thunder storms, so the Mudies concluded that the squirrels had frightened him to death. :
