Provisional Regime
Reported SET Up for
Freed Yugos|av Areas
By the Associated Prees.

by IIle ASSOCldteQ fTetS.
LONDON, Dec. A provisional
government headed by the civilian
leader of the red-starred National
Liberation Authority has been
formed to rule Yugoslav areas lib
Grated from the Germans, the Free
Yugoslav radio announced today
The action was taken at a meeting
of 40 delegates, it was said.
DR.. Ivan Ribar, who was the first
president of the first Yugoslav con-
stitutional assembly in Belgrade
after the World War, was elected
president of the neWly-formed Par
lament and head of the liberated
territories, the broadcast said He
was titular head of the National
Liberation Authority before the
formation of the provisional govern
ment.
A new constitution is to be drafted
as soon as possible, the broadcast
added.
Broz Raised in Rank,
Gen. Josip Broz Tito, COM
mander of the Yugoslav Army of
Liberation, was raised to the rank
OF marshal by the new government
and was appointed head of the
Committee for National Defense.
The delegates elected three vice
presidents, Mosa Pijde, a Serbian
Journalist; Ivan Augustincic, a
Croat sculptor, and Josip Pus, a
Slovene.
Waldo Ribnikar, Serbian, and
Bozldar Magovas, a Croat journalist
were named assistant defense COM
mlssioners, while Josip Smodlaka
former Yugoslav Minister to the
Vatican, was appointed Minister OF
Foreign Affairs. Ministries for home
affairs, reconstruction and forestry
and mines also were set up by the
conference.
Heavy Fighting Reported.
Today's war bulletin, issued from
Broz's headquarters, reported ex-
ceptionally heavy fighting between
Yugoslav Partisans and German
forces between the towns of China
and Petrinja in Western Croatia
and said more than 300 of the enemy
were slain. The Partisans were sale
to have captured rs prisoners and g
large quantity of war material, in.
Guiding two radio stations. Bitter
clashes also were taking place or
the Croat-Slovenian border, the
communique said.
Broz reported a Partisan setback
in Macedonia, where his forces were
forced to evacuate the town of Debar
near. the Albanian border after q
brisk encounter with German troops

This Changing World

The dispatch went on to hint
about certain situations which
must have developed within the
conference Of which no inkling
had been given to those who had
read the official announcement
in good faith.
Pessimism Reported.
It spoke, Tor instance, of the
British regarding the Burma
campaign, a campaign which
President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Churchill deemed adj
visable to advertise widely at the
end of the Quebec conference in
August.
This pessimism, we were in
formed by the dispatch, was due
not only to terrain difficulties,
but, SO far as the British were
concerned, also was dictated to
some extent by complicated prob
lens such as their own imperial
setup," the raising of a large
Indian army for the relief Of
China and the Chinese entry
into Burma since "the Burmese
additionally resent Chinese in
trusion."
Thus, as soon as President
Roosevelt and Mr.. Churchill had
left Cairo the extreme optimism
which the Official announcement
OF the Cairo conference was in
tended to create among the peo-
pie of this country was damp
ened by a press dispatch which
began to lift the veil of secrecy
surrounding the meeting.
Secrecy Urged.
1t is only natural that any
official announcement of Roose-
velt-Churchill- Stalin conference
will be received with a grain of
suspicion and there will be a
good deal of speculation which
might even play into the hands
Of enemy propaganda.
1t is only logical that the great
est secrecy should shroud the
movements of the leaders of the
United Nations when they travel
thousands of miles to discuss
vital matters. Many people in
Washington knew the exact date
Of Mr.. Roosevelt's departure, as
they knew Of the presence Of
Foreign Commissar Molotov
when he came here in the sum-
mer of 1912. But no one spoke
about either Of them.
1t was realized that twas nee
essary to keep these matters Sc
cret as long as the authorities
OeSlreO. NO one complains about
the secrecy of the movements of
the Allied leaders. But once the
news that they have met is public
property, there is little use for
the leaders of democracies, who
rely on the confidence they in
spire in their people, to go about
In automobiles with drawn cur
tains or to give official statements
which do not represent more
than fraction of the truth.

conflict overseas. At that time,
this was considered a most ad-
vanced position for a member of
Congress from the Middle West.
Mckinley Is Recalled.
Not since the days of William
Mckinley has a member of the
House been elected President.
Mckinley is Mr.. Dirksen's middle
name. He was born in 1896, the
year that Mckinley was first
elected President, If that means
anything. There are many men,
bers of the House who believe
that body should have recogni-
ton in the selection Of a Chief
Executive. Indeed, SO of Mr..
Dirksen's colleagues signed q
round robin approving of his
candidacy, though not commit
ting themselves to his nomina-
ton. It was a friendly act, in
dicating faith in Mr.. Dirksen's
ability and character. Repre-
sentative "Joe" Martin, Repub-
lican leader of the House, fire.
quently was suggested as COP
nominee for President in 1910.
But he never entered the lists.
Today there has been talk Of
Representative Wadsworth, Re-
publican, of New York, who has
the respect of his colleagues,
Republican and Democratic alike.
and of many people outside. But
Mr.. Wadsworth denies that the
presidential bee is buzzing in or
about his head.
Mr.. Dirksen admittedly does
not have the seal of approval Of
the Republican organization" in
Illinois, but he does have the
support of several strong groups
in his State. What the organi-
cation will do has not been indi-
Gated yet. 1t may be 1t will I'M
dertake to make Gov. Green a
favorite son candidate-although
it is more likely to seek to place
Gov. Green at the head of the
delegation to the national con-
vention, and so control it. A ma
tionahstic committee has urged
Col. Mccormick, publisher of the
Chicago Tribune, to become a
candidate-but he has given no
encouragement to the idea. Sem
ator Brooks, like Gov. Green.
may have lot to say about who
makes up the delegation and
what goes on in 1t. But that Mr..
Dirksen will have the support Of
some of the Illinois delegates
seems entirely likely. Some work
Is being done for him in the
Dakotas, Wisconsin and Nebras-
ka. He intends to become active
in the preconvention campaign
soon after the first of the year,
with speaking dates arranged for
HIM already.
Illinois Has Primary.
Illinois has a presidential pref
erential primary. 1t is not bind
ing, but merely advisory" Gov.
Dewey of New York won the
preference vote there in 1910,
but the delegation did not stick
to him. Mr.. Dirksen does not
intend, therefore, to enter this
primary, which takes place next
April. Whether Gov. Green or
another intends to submit his
name in the primary remains to
be seen. Wendell Willkie has
said he would enter the primary
If Col. Mccormick became a can
didate.
Whatever happens to the can
didacy ct Mr.. Dirksen, many Of
his colleagues in the House today
are wishing him we'll. They like
to see a House member get into
the race. Mr.. Dirksen is a vet
eran Of the last war, with II
months overseas service to his
credit. He enlisted and was COM
missioned in the artillery while
he was overseas. He has been a
fighter for economy in Govern
ment expenditure.
