British Aiding Yugoslav Guerillas
(11.30 a.m.) WASHINGTON. Dec. 16. A Yugoslav. Colonel Svetozar Dimitrvevich, on arriving from Cairo, declared that British planes and submarines are constantly carrying supplies and British officers to General Mikhailovitch. Several officers, landing recently from submarines, were captured and shot. Parachute descent in the mountainous regions where General Mikhailovitch operates, is considered safer. General Mikhailovitch's 100,000 men ore comparatively inactive at present, awaiting the landing of an Allied army on the Yugoslav or Greek coast. Meanwhile General Mikhailovitch is maintaining radio communication with the British and. in one instance, notified headquarters in Egypt 10 minutes after the arrival of British staff officers.
