This followed up the party's, call yesterday for anti-government ral- lies to protest against the "terror, violence and murders" which Com- munisls said attended efforts of the Government to end strikes. The strike front was obviously weakening. The only major clash announced was the brush Thurs- day between strikers and police at tile lumbering town cf Kcmi, in which one man was killcd and nine injured.

By Hal Cooper LONDON, Aug. 21. —(A.P) __ Thc steady lashing from some sect- ions of American public opinion brought a strong reaction today. $UlJD0rtcrs of the Labor Govern- ment struck back, independent organs showed a flash of injured national pride, the Conservative press protested. The stream of suggestions thati Britain would n-eed less dollar help from the United States if she did more to help herself gave rise to this headline in the Sunday Pictor- lal, a pro-Labor tabloid which claims 5.000.000 circulation: "We British Are Tired Of Yank- ee Insults." War Minister Shlnwell in a speech at Asp-atria declared it was tune that American and other trit- ics quit "sneering" at Britain and remtmlncr that "the gcmc of twist- ing the lion's tail is a risky run.- and it may recoil on those who ln- dulrze in this pastime." "The suggestion that Britain is played out is sheer nonsense." he said, and it is time "due recognit- ion was given to the part. played by this country In world affairs." "Now. when we have almost ex- hausted ourselves in sLx years of war and find ourselves in a grave economic position, our magnificent efforts in the past are overlooked." he said. > i At.

Baathgs 0f 6,000 Soviet Citizens. Russia Delivers Stern Yugoslavia fiharges Tito 0ov’t With Unlawful Arrest. MOSCOW. Aug. 2i —I‘AP) -- Russia warned Yugoslavia Saturday she is prepared to take "effective measures" to protect the rights of Soviet citizens in that Balkan country. Moscow delivered a stern note to Belgrade protesting the "unlawful arrests and beatings" of some 6,000 Soviet citizens inYugoslavla. Said the note: “Apparently the Yugoslav Gov- ernment does not intend to bring to account those who are to blame for these practices, "If that. is, so the Soviet Gov- errment deems it necessary to de- clare that ii: will not reconcile it.- seli to such a situation. and will be forced to resort to other more ef- fective measures necessary to de- fend the rights and interests of Soviet citizens in Yugoslavia and to call to order the violators." The note did not specify what these measures would be. It was the latest in an acrid exchange bc- tween the two countries. Last week Russia called Yugoslavia an en-emj/ of the U S.S.R. Russia rejected Yugoslavias con- tention that. the Cominform is advocating the forcible overthrow of Marshall Tim's Government. In a previous note to Moscow. Yugoslavia had said some of those under arrest were guilty o! advo- cating the overthrow of the Gov- ernment, in line with the 1948 Cominform resolution which ex- pelled Yugoslavia from the associ- ation of Ccunmuil-isl. countries in Easttrn Elurcpe. “These inventions, however,“ the note said. "are an obvious provocat- ion and slander. ‘The resolution docs not contain a single word about overthrow. still loss a forcible overthrow, o the state system in Yugoslavia. “The resolution only says that the Ccmmunists of Yugoslavia should ccmpcl the existing leader- ship of the Yugoslav Communist elect a new leadership."
