U. 3. Urges New Danube Regime

BELGRADE, Aug. 5 (UP)— The United States proposed to the Danubian conference today that a new international regime for the Danube be set up with the United Nations serving as watch-| dog to prevent Russian explpitation of the river. Cavendish Cannon, U. 8. ambassador to Yugoslavia and delegate to the conference, charged Russia with -monopolistic control of the important waterway.

He said the Soviet had set up}

shipping and transportation companies in Danube states which, in effect, gave Russia control of the river. He charged that the Russian companies were given privileged tax treatment and the right to import goods without licenses or duties. The practices should be eliminated, he said. Mr. Cannon submitted an American draft convention for navigation of the river.

All complaints will be courteously received. If they are legitimate, they will be acted upon. At a meeting of general staff officers - yesterday a National Guard bureau representative from Washington officially announced that the six-year National Guard training program would be replaced with an accelerated three-year program immediately after the close of summer camp on Aug. 15. The unsettled international situation was held responsible for the speeded up curriculum, which will include the same military subjects taught now but in more concentrated doses.
