followed. Citizens here now ex-

Allied Action Seen
for Marshal Tito
Joint Operations Promised
at Italian Conference

= LONDON, Aug. 25 - P -
Marshal Tito was quoted in a
delayed dispatch today as pre-
dieting joint operations by Brit
ish and American troops with
his partisan forces on a greater
scale in the near future.
Writing from the Yugoslav
leaders headquarters, Associat-
ed Press war correspondent Jo-
seph Morton said necessity for
secrecy prevented a detailed dis
cIssion of plans.
The Marshal told Morton the
proposed joint operations were
worked out at his recent con-
ference in Italy with Prime
Minister Churchill, Gen. Sir
Henry Maitland Wilson, Allied
commander in the Mediterran-
can, and others.
An American military mission,
headed by Col. Ellery c. Hunt
ingtcn of Redding, Conn.,, has
arrived at Tito's headquarters,
Morton said. British and Rus
sian missions have been there
for some time.
