They were reported In excellent physical condition and said they had been well treated while in custody.) Marshal Tito disclosed hi "cease fire" orders to his air force in response to a note sent him by two American newspaper correspondents a representative of the Associated Press and one of the New York Times. "In the event of further American planes flying over Yugoslav territory without clearance, 1 the same procedure to be adopted as on Aug. 9 and 19?" the correspondents asked. "No," said Tito' written reply. "I have given the strictest orders to the Yugoslav fourth army commanders not to fire on foreign planes, civil or military, and the procedure Is not to be repeated." Impression Sought In response to another question, the Yugoslav premier aid he thought American planes had deliberately Infringed upon Yugoslav frontiers "to create the Impression among Yugoslavs that the forces of the United States government are overwhelming that the Yugoslav government must take everything." He said this "was especially shown In the cases of whole squadrons flying over," Members of Patterson's party said i lem of the reconstruction of devaa-j ta'ed areas." Passengers On U.

S. Transport Complain of Conditions NEW YORK, Aug. A Moscow source reported today that Yugoslavia had filed complaint against the United State with the Vnlted Nations security council, but the Yugoslav delegate to the U.

A spokesman for Lie said that he had received no communication from Yugoslavia concerning a complaint with the security council. Dr, Stampar said he knew of no new Instructions enroute from his government requesting that the matter be moved from the econom ic and social council to the security council.

Yugoslav Ship The Moscow source declared that Yugoslavia had alleged specifically that the United States refused to relinquish six Yugolsav passenger I imiunir. A lass message from Belgrade said that Dr. Ktampar had asked that "the Incorrect detention of passenger ships and other vessels" be put on the agenda "for the next se curity council meeting on Aug. 31." Meanwhile, security council delegates watched closely developments on the u. N.

ultimatum to the Yugoslavs overshooting at U. S. planes. Grave ten.slon between Moscow and the western powers was reflected, however, in a statement from the Brazilian delegate sternly denouncing Russia and "all her 'including Yugoslavia, for using what he called Nazi-Fascist tactics. Criticize Attitude The public statement from Dr, Pedro Lean Vc.llo.no, was a redraft of one he had prepared before learning Jan night how the Tito regime had reacted to the American demands.

The Brazilian expressed his hope that Premier Marshal Tito would fulfill all the conditions laid down by Washington, "However," he added, "the nttt-tude of the Yugoslav military au-tliorities was no justification In peace-time between friendly countries. "Unfortunately the Soviet Union and her satellites have adopted in words and deeds the same aggressive methods of the one-time Nazi-Fascist states. "The Incident that arose between Yugoslavia and the United States Is a regrettable consequence ot these methods." Mit other delegations reserved Comment, but they were reported huddling in private conference groups along the customary lines, with Russia heading a minority and the United States and Britain leading a majority.

Batson Market Sts. SYDNEY, Aug. 23. With a large calico lgn "S3 Floating Flophouse" draped over her side, the U.S.

Army transport Marine Falcon sailed into Sydney today after a Pacific crossing which brought complaint after complaint from her 538 passengers when the vessel berthed. The sign waa hung out by some of the passengers as an expression of their feelings about conditions aboard. They told Sydney newspaper reporters that during the voyage the dormitories were sometimes in filthy condition, that crewmen behaved badly and that medical attention was poor. One passenger, Miss Kitty Dllla- had his lreless operator ask the Udlne airport for a bearing. He was "deferred," because the airport was working another plane.

So he flew west for 15 minutes until he thought he was north of Udlne. He was then at 16,000 feet and he was passing an oxygen bottle back and forth with his co-pllot, Lt.t Bill Mc- New of Atlanta, Ga. "The clouds- broke a little and I began to see the ground," Crombie went on, "I spotted a small river running to the southeast, I thought from the map that we were then northwest of Udlne, so I changed the course to the southeast." It wa.s then, the pilot said, that a fighter plane dived on us." "I thought It was a British ship," he related, "I said 'hello' on the Interphone, but there was no answer. "I continued southeast and I saw two other fighters. From their markings, I recognized them as Yugoslav fighters.

Then I knew 1 waa over Yugoslav territory. "Everything happened then," Then he related how a fighter rocked its wings, how he failed to understand the signal and how the fighters started diving at him. Ht continued: "I circled a town which I later found out was Ljubljana which I thought might be Udine and at 000 feet I let Machineg-un Fire "That was when I saw the first burst of machinegun fire, although others In the plane said there had been an earlier one. I saw Mx tracers burst. Some of the bullets hit Just above the left rudder.

"Tlrere waa no damage to the ship. But that was when the Turkish captain was hit. A bullet went through his back, came out Just over his heart and shattered his wrist. They say he is still living I don't see how, for he lost a lot of blood." Crombie said he sent the co-pllot back to put the parachutes on the passengers, but when the Yugoslavs dived again he decided to get down as fast as he could. "I picked a little cornfield about, 15 miles northwest of Ljubljana and crashlanded with the wheels up.

Everybody lay on the floor a no nobody was hurt, although the plane was badly wrecked. The let motor would not top running and I stood with a Are extinguisher while the co-pilot tried to give first aid to the Turk. Everybody els? scattered in the field, afraid they would be strafed. "After about two hour some Vugoslav officer and soldiers came and asked us why we didn't land. We told them we had not understood." Crombie said that five days before the party was liberted they were allowed to talk to an American representative who came from Belgrade.

They were assigned a Yugoslav captain as liaison man. "He treated us so well before we left we bought him a silver cigarette case," he added. Allowed to Circulate The group, first limited to their billet in an officers' hotel, was allowed to circulate as far as the terrare after two or three dajs, Crombie said. An UNRRA truck brought Crombie and his asociates from Ljubl jana Is st night to an outpost of the U. S.

The master of the vessel, Capt Robert A Eastman, said in reply that the Falcon was "troopship from keel up" and that on his daily inspections he failed to find any insanitary conditions.

Sam Richter. regional representative of the War Shipping Administration, said he would inves tigate the complaints and inspect the vessel tomorrow. Archie MacDonald, Dally Telegraph shipping reporter who spent hours Interviewing passengers, said he failed to find one who had a good word to say about the voyage. HERE'S MORE ABOUT TITO (Continued from Page One) morning and that because cf bad weather they decided to postpone until tomorrow the visit to the plane that crashed Aug, 19; also grave registration men now with the ambassador may accompany him at that time, "The Fourth Army said they are doubtful whether any of the crew parachuted out. They think the crew may have thrown objects overboard which peasants mistook for parachutes." Earlier reports had quoted witnesses of the crashing plane as saying they saw what they thought to be two members of tha crew parachute as it fell.

Diplomats saw in Premier Mar shal Tito's swift submission to the American ultimatum a sign that nations in the Soviet sphere of influence have decided against forc ing a major showdown which might wreck the machinery for preserving peace. But even with that subdued gratification, this country still awaited a full accounting before marking the episode closed. The fact that much remains for the Balkan nation to answer to was made abundantly clear in the ultimatum itself. That document in demanding the release of the occupants of the two planes still alive added: To Determine Course "If within 48 hours from the receipt of this note by the Yugoslav government, these demands are complied with, the United States government will determine its course in the light of the evidence then secured and the efforts of the Yugoslav government to right the wrong done," Probably involving protracted negotiations, this would mean: 1. Compilation of detailed explanations from the occupants of the planes, the Yugoslav govern ment, and any possible witnesses.

2. Full stntlsfactlon on any for mal demand for redress for the casualties among occupants and property damage to the two planes involved In the attacks. 3. Iron-clad assurances from Yugoslavia that there will be no repetition of the attacks. TITO COMPLIES BELGRADE, Aug.

23. Premier Marshal Tito, having complied with en angry United States' ultimatum demanding the release of seven Interned Americans, has given his air force "the strictest order'' not to fire on foreign planes even if they happen to fly over Yugoslavia without clearance. Tito also has assured U. S. Ambassador Richard C.

Patterson that permission would be given American representatives to inspect both U. S. C-47 transports shot down by Yugoslav pilots, the second demand In the ultimatum. One plane was downed near Ljubljana on Aug. 9 and other near Bled last Monday.

"The Yugoslav government has promised to give satisfaction," U. S. embassy officials said after Pat-, terson's two-hour conference at Bled yesterday with Tito concerning the ultimatum, which required satisfaction within 48 hour with the alternative of arraigning Yugoslavia before the United Nations, Two American graves registration representatives were scheduled today to Inspect the scene of Mon- day's crash, amid Indications that none of the five crew members sur- vived the fire ar.d exnlosion which down.

ultimatum without considerable further study. He was said to have interrupted the reading of the ultimatum several times to comment on various points. SOVIET PRESS MOSCOW, Aug. 23. (p) The Soviet press told the Russian public about the United States-Yugoslav dispute in a series of news dispatches today topped by a 335 word Belgrade story quoting Marshal Tito as saying that "whole squadrons of American planes have been flying over Yugoslavia." The text of the American note to Yugoslavia was not published, but a Tass dispatch from Washington summarteed it briefly.

A Tass dispatch from New York quoted the New York Times as describing the note as "the sharpest ever recorded In the annuals of American diplomacy." Other dispatches reported that Premier Tito had seen American Ambassador Richard C. Patterson and that Lt, Gen. John C. Lee had stripped border patrols in order to assemble 10,000 troops of the U. S.

83th division for a parade In the Trieste area. A Tass dispatch told of Tito's speech Aug. 19 to metal workers near Belgrade in which he asserted that Yugoslav air was violated daily not only by single planes but by whole squadrons. The dispatch quoted Tito as saying "some countries are taking a strange position" toward Yugoslavia. Identical Tass dispatches were carried in all leading Russian newspapers.

The Turk, said by the pilot of the plane to be a captain but otherwise unidentified, previously had been reported by the Yugoslavs to i be In a hospital at Ljubljana, Hei was seriously wounded when the! plane was shot down. Kosanovle's reference to release of the other nine crewmen and pas-j sengers of the plane "24 hours be- fore the American note was handed i Yusrolavla" was the first indication that the Yugoslav government con- tenas it did not receive the state department ultimatum until today.
