The Serbs, ruling race of Yugo- slavia, appear to have granted prac- tlcally no measure of autonomy to the racial minorities noted, or to the large numbers of Hungarians Woh also live within their borders.
 Greats and Slovenes never are al- lowed to attain high office in the army. A strong Slovene minority in Italy wants to unite with its Slo- vene brothers on the other side of the border. At Zagreb, the Greats talk of breaking away. At Sarajevo the population is largely Moslem, and the Montenegrins and Mace donians have their dream of gov- ernments of their own.
 READYING FOR
 A FIGHT
 Thus the dismemberment of Czechoslovakia was felt keenly in Yugoslavia. We may be next" in an ever-growing fear. AS result, Yugoslovia is building one of the most powerful war machines in Europe. Higher and higher taxes for military purposes are accepted without complaint.
 The Serbs are fanatical fighters, and would resist to the last man any attempt to dominate them by force. But they have no weapons against increasing German com- mercial and economic domination. And they well realize that their own Croatians, Macedonians, Mon- tenegrins, and Hungarians would welcome any upheaval that would give them chance for their own independence.
 The Croats say: "Just wait un- til a war starts. Then they'll have to agree to our demands as a mi- nority, or we won't fight with them" Wait until 8 war starts," the Serbs reply. Then these minority questions will disappear. We will all be Yugoslavs fighting for a common cause"
 Which is right? Only war or im- mediate menace of war will show. NATION EYES

Performances this evening at the Warner Bros. State theater con- cludes the engagements or the com edy "Yes, My Darling Daughter" CO., starring Priscilla Lane and Jeffrey Lynn; also Secret Service of the Air" with Ronald Reagan in the leading role.
 Tomorrow the State ushers in an outstanding double hit bill headlin- ed by the grand comedy Boy Trouble. Co-starred in the leads are Charlie Ruggles and Mary Bol- and, judged as one of the screens most popuar couple.
 This is said to be their grandest domestic comedy with more heart throbs and hearty laughs being promised than ever before.
 Both stars are veterans of the stage and screen, and were together for the first time in the unforget- table "Ruggles of Red Gap" and later in Early to Bed" and "Wives Never Know" Their current film marks their reunion after a two seasons separation.
 The famous pair, who have been in everys other kind of hot water during their many pictures togeth- CT, are cast as the foster parents of two noisy lads, played by Donald O'Connor and Billy Lee.
 Ruggles is seen as much -harras- ed, overworked and underpaid de- partment store clerk, whose feuds with his superiors "downstreet" are only topped in violence by his bat ties at home with his flighty wife "Sybil" although at times eccentric. is the typical housewife, especially in her efforts to manage the un- practicable Homer"

Instead of returning from the orphanage empty handed, Ruggles comes back with two boys: the original and one he picked ur along the way as the result of an automobile accident.

 Yugoslavs justify this by pointing to the great social works under way, with income derived from the foreign concessions, roads, water works, health and social projects Typhus, once prevalent, has almost disappeared. Swamps are drained and health stations have been es- tablished. Malaria, which once af- fected 80 per cent of the people in certain regions, now strikes only Is per cent.
 But many of the great mines and industries pay as low as IA cents day in wages, while sending big profits abroad. Especially along the Dalmatian coast the people are des- perately poor. i am told that in that part of the country a man con buy bride, including the divorce for the equivalent of $5.

CAFE SOCIETY
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

The social world in all sobriety Launches what they can cafe society Which takes the uppercrustes to this and that cafe But only the high bracketed and au fait, Society sets the pace at home or abroad And any but the elite are promptly outawed. But can society regulate the entree As to who is eligible to a swell cafe? A cafe is a place where you go and dine If you pay the price including wine, And nice cover charge big and fat That gives the place much ecat, Where you call the band leader by his first name, Likewise the head waiter, that's the game; And where you manage to keep pace With social climber and not feel out of place Cafe society! 1t has a pleasant ring, But really dear folks, 1t doesn't mean a thing. you need nice and escort top hat, And you've entered cafe society let it go at that.
