Navy Is Valley Under The Sea
London, May 13.
The Navy's latest ship, HMS Cook-commis sioned at Plymouth at the end of March-has an important first assignment.
She is to scour the Atlantic for an underwater valley; a gigantic crack in the sea-bed, that scientists feel may be the indirect answer as to why fishing grounds off Bri Iain's coasts have become steadily less prolific during the last twenty years.

Istiqlal's Threat To Premier
To Be Turned Into A Second Korea
Vienna, May 13.
Is the Balkan peninsula to become a second Korea? That is the question which some people here are asking. following reports spread by the Communist Press in Austria that "there can be no more doubt that the Americans are planning to make the South Slavs (Yugoslavs) play the same role in Europe as the South Koreans were forced to play in Asia."
By this, the Communists suggest that the Yugoslavs are to be in- duced to attack their neighbours in the countries belonging to the Comin- form bloc and that then the Americans, with the help of other United Na- tions countries, will intervene on their behalf.
Observers here in Vienna, which is one of the fow remaining windows through which one can look both East and West, havo weighed up the similari- tios and differences of the situation in the Balkans compared with that in Korea before war broke out there..
