i I i flights Friday night and this morning to accommodate passengers who decided to get where they were going before the "war" started. Other lines didn't. Airlines and airports at about 50 major cities took advantage of the situation to hold "open house," with the public invited to come and see the planes and facilities. Elements of the iorces of three nations the United States, Canada and Britain were given parts in the giant exercise. U.S.

and Canadian jet fighters and missile commands were assigned thousands of sorties. A sortie is one flight one plane, with most of the planes making a number of sorties duriitg the day. and British bombe providing the targets for the interceptors.

Brit-ain arranged to send a squadron of its V-bombers. The Royal Canadin Air Force operates no bombers at present. Fur or C0NT1MED FROM' PAGE ONE The reason for the transaction, said the State Department, was to help Yugoslavia stay free of Soviet domination. The State Department said Yugoslava paid cash, not credit, for, the planes and the training, ff was1 a business transaction that did not involve foreign aid, the department said. But in Monroe, Passman termed the transaction "as phony as a $3 bill," and he added, "If there was a sale at all, which I doubt, the planes cost the Yugoslav government a small fraction of the planes' cost and the Communist government used money given to them by this country to pay for, the aircraft.

It borders on treason and makes me sick to see our country do something like this." Sen. John Tower, said in Louisville, that the Yugoslav airmen should be shipped home and a total embargo placed on aid to Yugoslavia. He said there has never been any doubt in his mind that Tito was in league with the Soviet Union to further world socialism. In Seattle, Sen. Henry M.

Jackson, said the Kennedy administration should consider canceling the arrange ment because of views expressed by Tito in the recent meeting of neutrals in Belgrade However, officials said they believed the sale, delivery and payment have been completed. Officials said the package deal was costing Yugoslavia $1.6 mil-: lion. Each plane is being sold for; $10,000, they said. State Department press officer; Lincoln White said the decision-to send the aircraft to Yugoslavia was takeh in mid-January, shortly before President Kennedy succeeded Dwight D. Eisenhower in the White House.

Government sources said the Kennedy administration could have stopped delivery, which took place in ensuing months, but instead stood by the Eisenhower administration's reasons for approving the deal.

Shortage Unaccountable KANSAS CITY (AP)-A city auditor's report on a shortage of funds in the municipal court indicates that the total amount missing is unaccountable. A record of the auditor's investigation, made several days ago and withheld by the city council, was released Friday upon insistence of the Jackson County Republican Club. The Republicans invoked a state open records law which went into effect Thursday midnight.
