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? This direct slap at Marshall Tito will cost Russia and its com- ent part of the college. — ]i : . , U ., i, . .i < ' Tito will cost Russia and its com- Testing and guidance may well be able munistk policy much p rcs tige i n to accomplish what the Dean's Team, pro- Europe and abroad, so there may batieni jlists, and similar methods of deal- than ing with academic deficiency have been 11 . i , 5 unabla.’to acomplish. aging Rcjberj Baes, Class of ’47 ...

The economy there, is stuij largely agrarian, and large, amounts of machinery and tools are needed for its farms and fac tories.

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.
