APPEAL TO YUGOSLAVS FAILS
BRITISH JOURNALIST TO BE EXPELLED (Received December 7, 6.30 p.m.) BELGRADE, December 6. The Foreign Press Association has intervened with the Yugoslav Government on behalf of Mr H. Harrison, Reuter’s correspondent at Belgrade for eight years, who is under sentence of expulsion because of allegedly tendentious reports. A later message states that the authorities refused all requests not to expel Mr Harrison.
A Mickey Mouse comic strip figured in a remarkable story from Yugoslavia. Mr Harrison was ordered to leave by today because of allegedly tendentious reports—apparently a statement that the comic strip, which had been appearing in the newspapers, was indefinitely banned. The police stated that the strip was banned for only two days, as it depicted a Ruritanian revolt in which a boy King’s uncle was plotting to depose him. The News Chronicle said well-informed circles in Vienna declared that the strip so closely resembled actual conditions that it was considered dangerous.
