Ex-Tito aide killed fleeing into Romania near border
Belgrade Yugoslavia Aug 18 The former chief of staff of the Yugoslav army Gen Arso Jovanovic about 42, closely linked with Marshal Tito in partisan days, was killed by a border guard while attempting to flee toward Romania after allegedly being hunted by the guard for a pistol shot from one of the party. The Interior ministry gave no reason. Borba and other Belgrade papers reported Maj Gen Brancko Petricevic captured and others in the party escaped or were killed. Speculation linked Jovanovic to seeking Soviet support for an external movement against Tito’s government.

A motorist offered a series of traffic remedies aimed at the business district. Proposals include converting Braggs to Truslow streets to one way, removing parking on Lee and Washington from Dickinson to Court, restricting parking hours, creating loading zones every 300 feet, and stricter penalties for double parking.
