ROME, May 19-Field Marshal Sir Harold Alexander declared today
that Marshal Tito apparently intended to resort to force in backing Yugo-
slavia's claims to northeastern Italy and southern Austria-a course of
action "all too reminiscent of Hitler, Mussolini and Japan."
Belgrade radio broadcast Tito's reply that the Yugoslav army, the
same as other Allied armies, had the right to remain in territory it liberated
and the presence of his troops in the disputed zone would not "prejudge
decisions of the peace conference as to whom these territories belong."

About His Pants
An ordinarily calm gentleman was
virtually snatched from the door of
a bus waiting in Ann Arbor to take'

the ownership of his newly-pressed
pants.
His former roommate had pressed
charges, alleging that the Arkansas
traveller had absconded with the1
plaintiff's pants. When the gentle-
man denied wearing the trousers, his
erstwhile roommate indignantly of-
fered to bring out his own suit coat
that would match the pants exactly
and definitely establish rightful own-
ership.
They looked at the suit coat, They
