Walt Disney Comic Strip Censored By Yugo-Slavia

MICKEY MOUSE SCARES DIPLOMATS

Army Plot

Behind Yugo-Slav Ban

By VERNON BARTLETT

The fact that Mickey Mouse for the first time has been banned by the censor has been the subject of dispatches to many European Foreign Offices.

The event took place in Belgrade, where a comic strip has been appearing in the newspaper Politika. The story had reached the point at which the unele of the reigning prince, Mickey Mouse's double, tries to organise a military conspiracy.

It is claimed in usually well-infuited circles in Viema that this story was so nearly a portrayal of actual condition in Yugo-Slovin, that it was considered dangerous.

But, according to the report I have received, it was not the onele of the ruling peine hut the third regent, General, Tomitch, who was organising a. inilitary aspiracy.

DICTATORSHIP

The ruling prince is, of course, Prince Paul, one of the thire tegents for the boy Kini, Peter. General Tumitch died on November 11 from the effect of attr or more revolver shots.

It was stated that be had committed suicide; and flax offical explan thm is, I believe, that there hus-been a good deal of hinary in he family,

But, according to my report, General Tomitch was the leader of a plot to remove Prince Paul and M. Stoyadinovitch, the Prime Minister,

He had behind him the generals in catmand of live military distrets, and a manifesto had been prepared eluling that this group of officers must impose a temporary military dictatorship in order to keep the country out of the hands of the Italians.
