We are desperate for the last two clues of last Saturday's cryptic.

35A. Reductions producing terse complaints (12) ?Y?T?I?M???S

28D. Was fleet protecting vessel treated with contempt? (7) S?U???D
We thought of SPURNED or SHUNNED, either of which would make the 10th letter of 35A *N*, but we cannot justify.

Many thanks.

28. Sped(fleet)
Urn(vessel)

Curt ailments
Sp(urn)ed

Many thanks for these rapid answers.

My apologies. The second letter of 35A is, of course, *U*. I could not read my own handwriting
