Mr. Pritchett boarded a College ear at 14th and College ave. The operator refused his token and they quibbled. Mr. Pritchett finally rode downtown, but the operator still deglined to take the token.

By EDWIN NEWMAN United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.—-The United States, drawing a fundamental issue with Russia, today rejected Soviet demands to share with Turkey in control of the vital Dardanelles. The note to Russia was worded carefully and calmly. The United States expects the matter to be the subject of long and perhaps difficult negotiations among the powers. But, it was learned on the highest authority that the United States would stand firm on its basic opposition. The entire government, from dent Truman down was understood to feel that the Dardanelles issue is vital to the peace of the Near and Middle East and, therefore, of the world. And the Russian demands on Turkey were felt to be not merely a request to share in the control of the strategic straits, but really a bid to dominate them, Turkey, the entire area and all Asia, ’ : Fal

M’ARTHUR PLAN IS REFUSED BY, SOVIET

TOKYO, Aug. 21 (U. P) Gen. Douglas MacArthur's plan for the allied control council to admit representatives of the 11 powers which waged the Pacific war met with a flat refusal today from the Russians. Lt. Gen. Kuzma Derevyanko, the Russiah member of the control council, apparently considered "the plan a move to curb Soviet influence. Gen. Derevyanko read a state-

ONE: That, he. TL... S.eouid- at agree that control of the straits was

TWO: That Turkey alone would be responsible for defense of the Dardanelles, with the United Nations security council stepping in case of attack or threat of attack. THREE: That control of the Dardanelles should be brought under the United Nations, which the Russians had failed to mention in their note to Turkey stating their demands.

French, British Object Too

Disclosure of the U, 8. stand on the Dardanelles was the latest in a series of plain-talking American notes directed at Russia and her close friends. Yugoslavia and Poland. Only yesterday, the state department vigorously protested the shooting down of American planes and other provocative acts by the Yugoslavs. ..It also notified Poland that it expected her to carry out her pledge to conduct free elections in November. The state department's position on the Dardanelles rounded out four-way opposition to the Russian demands, France was reported already to have made her position clear; notes fromm Great Britain and Turkey were understood to be on tehir way to Moscow. The Turkish reply, which was

f expected to be almost identical to

the American note, was drawn up after Ankara had received advice from the British and American governments. The Soviets sent their original demands to Turkey, with copies to the U, S, and other powers. ' Agree on Minor Points The American note, which ran about 600 words, pointed out that the American and Russian positions were very nearly the same on three relatively minor points involving transit of merchant and war vessels through the Black sea gateway. But this clear intimation that U. 8. favored any reasonable revisions in favor of the Russians was accompanied by the statement that control of the straits is “a matter of concern, not only to the Black sea powers but also to other powers, including the United States.” The Montreaux convention of July 20, 1936, now governs control of the straits. The United States isnot a party to the convention But the U. 8. note gave clear indication that it wants to participate

of the council and I cannot even, in any changes,

disouss it.” Gen. MacArthur announced his plan Aug, 13 to invite powers “not individually represented on the (four-power) - “allied council for Japan informally and unofficially to join the council's discussions and contribute their views on matters which may be brought before the council.” China previously had accepted the proposal with reservations, and W.

PILOT AND AID DIE

Passengers Escape Serious Injury.

MOLINE, Ill, Aug. 21 (U. P)— Two crew members were killed and 10 of the 24 passengers injured slightly today when a Trans-Luxury airlines plane crashed while attempting to land at the Moline airport. The pilot and co-pilot of the plane were killed when the plane overshot the airport and crashed about a quarter of a mile from the edge of the field. The dead were Pilot Marvin A. Fox, 29, a former naval officer, Binghampton, N. Y, and Co-Pilot Jamies L. Steen, 26, Coral Gables, A. They were hurled out of the plane. Mr, Steen was killed instantly. Mr, Fox died a few minutes after arriving at the Moline public hospital. Two babies were among the pas-

He raised doubts, however, that controls could be placed on livestock and not on grain without disastrous effects. “If grain becomes expensive, with livestock held by controls, you know farmers won't feed grain to their animals,” he said,
