BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Hundreds of Serbs have rallied against plans by the Serbian Orthodox Church and nationalist leaders to move the ashes of scientist Nikola Tesla from his museum in Belgrade to the countrys biggest church. Hefting banners that read "Leave Tesla alone!" the protesters blocked traffic Saturday in front of the museum, where the urn bearing Teslas remains has been on display for six decades. Tesla, an ethnic Serb born in Croatia, was a pioneer in electricity, wireless communication and radio in rivalry with Thomas Edison.
