The Succumbs After Prolonged Illness Achieved National Fame as Coach Of 1901-1905 'Point-A-Minute' Teams By JACI MARTIN Fielding Harris (Hurry Up) Yost died yesterday afternoon at his Ann Arbor home. The man who has done more than anyone else to put the University of Michigan on the athletic map passed away suddenly after an acute gall- bladder attack. Although he had undergone several illnesses during the past few years and only recently returned from! a Battle Creek hospital to his home, his Britain May Ask Control Of Palestine Sole Trusteeship Opposed by Arabs LONDON, Aug. 20-(P)-Britain will ask the United Nations for sole trusteeship over Palestine, a well- qualified government source said to- day, and there were immediate in- dications the move would touch off a widespread diplomatic battle for control of the strategic Holy Land. Arab sources inLondon said the Arab. countries surrounding Palestine would press instead for complete in- dependence of the tiny country- and' it was suggested that Egypt' would ask for trusteeship if the in- dependence move failed. Diplomats Report Diplomatic quarters said Russia, which long has urged that the British get out of Palestine and let Jews and Arabs settle their own problems, could be expected to oppose British Trusteeship. The United States, building an oil pipeline across Pales- tine, could be expected to favor it, they added., While the Jewish Agency for Pal- estine made no official comment, a spokesman said Holy Land Jews would not oppose United Nations' discussion of the trusteeship and would accept any regime that gave them "a fair share" of control over immigration and certain other mat- ters. Plan Needed The official who disclosed Bri- tain's plan said it was necessary be- cause the British League of Nations mandate for Palestine expired with the League. Without direct reference to Winston Churchill's recent sugges- tions. "Britain will certainly not give up the mandate and has not ever con- sidered doing so," the official said. Churchill had urged in effect that Britain wash her hands of troubled Palestine unless the United States helped her solve the conflicting claims of Jews for a National home- land and of Arabs for independence and an end to Jewish immigration. Chemical 448' Betters DDT As Pest-Killer WASHINGTON, Aug. ,20. - OIP) - DDT has rival that not only kills butdrep Las. The new substance, al- ready available to the fly-swatting public, is called "NMBI 448." It was the 448th of approximately 3,000 compounds tested by the Navy's Med- ical Research Institute in its xar- time fight against mosquitos and other insect pests. Lt.-Comdr. Michael Pijoan, who synthesized the substance, reported Board ordered revival of the live- stock subsidy payments which were in effect last June 29. This apparently will make it pos- sible for OPA Administrator Paul Porter to carry out his plan to roll back retail meat prices generally to the levels of June 30, when the price controls expired. Milk, butter, cheese, ice cream and all other dairy food and feed pro- ducts will remain free of ceilings. Grain Listed The decontrolled grains are wheat, rye, corn, oats, feed oats, mixed feed oats, barley and grain sorghums, as well as any livestock or poultry feed made entirely from ,any one or more of the basic grains. The board directed reestablishment of price ceilings on flaxseed and by- product grain feeds. In the case of each item on which ceilings were ordered restored, the board found that Board Fidings' 1. Prices have risen unreasonably above June 30 ceilings, plus any sub- sidy which was being paid them. 2. Supply is short. 3. Price control is "practicable, en- forceable,-and in the public interest." These were the yardsticks set by Congress. In ruling against reestablishment of ceilings on most grains, the board said it had not found that recontrol would be in the public interest. Grains Supply Supply of grains, the board re- ported, "will be adequate when crops are harvested to meet anticipated demand." See PRICES, Page 5 +4 Price Control Triumvirate Warns Dairies WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-()P)- The Price Decontrol Board warned the dairy industry tonight that it will clamp price control back on milk and dairy products as it did on meat, if prices go up. Chairman Roy L. Thompson,.in a broadcast plea for public support of the Board's unanimous decisions on price control, he declared that so far dairy products have not risen unreasonably above former ceilings plus the amount of federal subsidies. r Shortages will be inevitable, Thompson said, but the three-mem- ber board felt that any doubts should be resolved in favor of the "stable free market toward which we are all working." For that reason, he added, it was decided to givg dairymen "a while longer to prove that dairy pro- ducts will not rise unreasonably in a free market." FIELDING H. YOST-who died at his home yesterday, shoh here in a characteristic pose. The man who had done more than anyone else to put Michigan o n the athletic map passed away suddenly. His career at Michigan began in 1901, and actively ended in 1940. His tenure as head football coach ended in 1929 when he turned over the reins to Harry Kipke, one of his All-Americans. Yost-coached Michigan teams won 164 games, lost 29 and tied 10. Italy Requests Treaty Revision-' On War Record Delegation Withholds Approval of Proposal PARIS, Aug. 20-M/P-Italy ap- pealed today for a re-wording of the Italian treaty preamble to give her credit for a better war record, but the Italian political and territorial commission of the peace conference failed to endorse her memorandum. The door was left open for possible preamble modifications, however, since the delegation of any member nation of the.conference may present any of the ideas embodied in the Ital- ian proposals as its own, to be voted upon formally. Memoranda Released In addition to the document dis- cussed by the commission during the day, members of the Italian delega- tion released tonight memoranda on the treaty clauses themselves. These new notes sought a softer peace for Italy and discussed at length Italy's frontiers-to-be with Yugoslavia and the proposed free territory of Trieste. One note urged the establishment of an Italian-Yugoslav frontier east of the "French Line" from Gorizia northward, to give Italy the Upper Isonzo hydro-electric works and the future Trieste-Austria rail line "so as not to let one and the same state 'Yugoslavia) control the means of communication" from both Trieste and Fiume. Note Urges Raliroad This note also urged construction of a new rail line to assure Yugo- slavia's communications in the zone of Gorizia, leaving the already exist- ing lines to Italy; inclusion of West- ern Istria south of Cittanova and the islands of Pola, Brioni and Bussino in the free territory of Trieste.

He had been active around his house as late as Monday. No ar- rangements have been made as yet, but the funeral will probably be Friday. . "Mr. Michigan" is survived by his wife, Mrs. Eunice Yost, his s 6tt Fielding, Jr., two brothers and a sister. One brother, Ellis, lives in Mt. Pleasant, while the other, Nicholas, resides in Fairview, W. Va. His sister, Mrs. Charles Berry, lives in Morgantown, W.Va. The name of Fielding Yost has been revered throughout the sports world for half a century. To Wolver- ine followers, especially, he is a tra- ditional, a familiar, and a well-loved figure. His 'point-a-minute' elevens in the early 1900's first established Michigan's football reputation. As athletic director Yost's personal ef- forts brought into being the greater part of the University's present out- standing athletic plant. The man who was to become a guiding spirit of American football was born 75 years: ago in Fairview, W.Va. He received his high school education at Fairmont. During his boyhood, Yost was called upon to act as the local marshal for his home- town coal community, a good back- ground for the rugged gridiron days to come. After a year at West Virginia Normal he went to Ohio Normal College at Ada, Ohio, now called Ohio .Northern, He was intro- duced to college athletics here, but strangely enough, not in football. He became the school's outstand- ing baseball player, and for two years was first baseman on the Normal nine. He left Normal in 1892 and entered business, but after three years he re- entered college, this time at the Uni- See 'MR. MICHIGAN,' Page 3 U. S. Hits at N M G I Yugoslavia WASHINGTON, Aug. 20-=4M-, An outraged State Department shot a third stiff note to Yugoslavia today; this time over an attack on an Ameri- can transport plane forced to a crash landing. Word came from the Navy, at the same time, that Adm. Marc A. MIt- scher, Acting Commander-in-Chief of the Atlantic Fleet, and Vice Adm. Forrest P. Sherman, Deputy Chief of Naval Operations, are enroute to Europe. Details of their mission were not disclosed but reports from Lon- don said they would visit "troubled areas'." Yugoslav Attack Denounced The official American view that the Yugoslav attack on an American plane is an "outrageous performance" was expressed by Undersecretary of State Dean Acheson, who is in charge at the State Department dur- ing Secretary Byrnes' absence in Paris. His voice edged with anger, the usually mild-mannered Acting Sec- retary adopted the unusual practice of permitting his indictment to be quoted directly, and went on to say that the incident was not one to be expected from a friendly nation. Official Protest Revealed He made public at his news con- ference a "most emphatically" word- ed official protest against the action and the attitude of the responsible Yugoslav officials, plus a stiffly put "demand" for assurance that there will be no repetition. The note dealt primarily with an attack on an American Army trans- port plane Aug. 9 which was fired upon by Yugoslav fighters and forced to crash land in a cornfield after be- ing forced off its course by bad wea- ther. One passenger, apparently not an American, was wounded. But it included also a reference to reports from Trieste that "a second United States plane en route to Italy from Austria is missing after having last reported itself under machine gun attack." Acheson said that plane has not been located. Tito 'Watches U.S. Transport Forced Down LONDON, Wednesday, Aug. 21.- (4)-M4arshal Tito, Premier of Yugo- slavia, denied today in a statement broadcast by the Belgrade radio that an American transport forced down in Yugoslavia on Aug. 9 had been lost in the clouds. Tito declared that Yugoslavia de- sires peace, "but not at any price." The broadcast said that Tito was an eyewitness to the forcing down of the American plane on Aug. 9, explaining that he was vacationing in Slovenia in the region "where the American plane landed." Wo men Vets t To Be Greeted Servicewomen entering the Univer- sity for the first time this fall will be greeted by representatives of the Wo- men Veterans Organization, accord- ing to Ann Durnley, president of the group. The newly formed group plans to maintain a booth in the Rackham Building during registration to greet and assist the new women. Both new and old women vets will have an opportunity to "get acquaint- ed" socially at an informal tea planned for the first Friday after- noon of the semester. t e prosecution charges seen ex- periments were for the benefit of Goering's Luftwaffe. Goering said that although he was chairman of the Reich Research Council all the experiments were carried out by subordinates without his knowledge. "In 1944 I was forced to organize a special department to prevent mis- use of my name," he testified. Apparently still rankling from a prosecution summation by Justice Robert H. Jackson in which the American said the Reichsmarshal had a "pudgy finger in every pie," Goer- ing said, "I didn't have enough fat fingers to put one into every low- pressure chamber experiment." The "prosecution cannot produce a single order regarding these xperi- ments whch was signed by nie," he declared. Truman Speaks With Byrnes on Yugoslav Crisis With President Truman in the At- lantic, Aug. 20-P)-Secretary of State Byrnes gave President Truman a full account of all developments in the Yugoslavian situation tonight with a transAtlantic telephone call from Paris to the yacht Williamsburg. Press secretary Charles G. Ross disclosed this shortly after informing reporters that the Presidential yacht is headed now to a berth Thursday afternoon at Bermuda. "The President," Ross said, "has no statement to make at this time." He added that "whether he will have a statement depends on developments in Europe."~ The situation involves attacks upon American transport planes and fight- ing in the Trieste area. Ross radio-telephoned newsmen aboard the Navy ship Weiss a few minutes after Byrnes and the Presi- dent concluded their talk. Ross said he had a call from the Boston Record which had a report that the President had telephoned Byrnes presumably to give him in- structions. "The facts are Mr. Byrnes called the President from Paris' about 5 p.m. (EDT)," Ross said. "Mr. Byrnes apprised the President fully of all developments in the Yugoslavian sit- PRAGUE WORLD STUDENT CONGRESS:' India Split Marks Opening Session' EDITOR'S NOTE: Charles Bernstein, former member of the Daily staff who is now attending the University of Geneva, Switzerland, is covering the World Student Congress in Prague.
