The Kremlin is playing its cards too close for that. It is hard to believe that Mos cow would publicly denounce one of its group without a good reason. If communism were not going ac cording to Marx in Bulgaria, Hun gary ori Czechoslovakia, Moscow would simply direct that, a new leader be appointed. Why the gen tle treatment in Yugoslavia?

The economy there, is stuij largely agrarian, and large, amounts of machinery and tools are needed for its farms and fac tories. Russia cannot supply its own demand for those items, much less furnish them to Yugoslavia. Thei U. S. embargo on satellite countries has shut off the only either major source of these sup plies. - i r ji (8 i; |g j. i ■ | . ( j , ■ • I; j Stattn may have figuied that the! United States would be willing to helb Yugoslavia if it were “outside” the iron curtain. And in order to accomplish this he may be staging a mock fight with that country. Yesterday the Yugoslav com munist shouted their freedom from Moscow - and their willingness to deal With the United States. Less than a week ago Congress appro priated f° ur billion for the Euro pean Recovery Program—to go only to countries outside of Rus sians influence. Communists, whatever their de gree of “redness,” are still in con trol of Yugoslavia’s government and atre not likely to relinquish their grip or change their spots. Marshall Tito was given his po sition jby Moscow when the Red Armyoverran the Balkans. He probably holds no love for the United; States, which supported Mihaloyitch as the rightful leader. What this might indicate is the start of the expected retirement by Moscow of direct- control, of the satellite nations, but only after its Quislings and Lavals ante firmly imbedded in their governments.

It is all an insidious plot to undermine the feeling of securi ty of America’s young men. Our group of Texas A&M officer candi dates now have the feeling that somewhere along the line we were sold out: to the salt mines. We now understand why officers take things so easy. If they took train ing such as we are, they are still resting up. i When we first arrived, at Edge- wood Arsenal they kept Up the pre tense for awhile. A car, with driv er, was summoned to take us from the gate to the camp area. We were treated courteously and civily and then—then it started, Monday morning. We were assigned tents in the midst of a dismal swamp area, ladened with blankets and mosquito netting and acquainted with our immediajje surroundings. The aforementioned tents, our “home away from home” are uni que, to say the least. They are hot in the daytime, cold at night, wet when it reins, dusty when it does n’t Dick De Shazo, of Mulesboe, Texas had a great deal to say about them, which I fortunately didn’t record.
