that has been Polands fate, and
sharing Czechoslovakia's fortune Of
being on cordial terms with the
major Allies both in the east and
west, the new Belgrade government
about to be born may become the
most important in Southeastern
Europe.
A federation system, in the eyes
of influential Yugoslavs, is a
dynamic political apparatus, Offer
ing the best possibility in history
of bringing together dissident races
claiming Slavic origin.
In Tito's National Liberation
movement there is widespread belief
that federation of South >Slavs
should be open to Bulgarians if they
wish it.
Frankly, postwar inclusion of
Bulgaria in federation is de-
scribed as natural prospect.
Tito himself said the new fed
Grated Yugoslavia would establish
a close working alliance with
"fraternal Bulgaria" seeking to pre-
vent forever the conflicts of the
Balkans. His declaration, quoted
from the Bulgarian paper Work
ers' Cause was carried at length in
the Soviet press today.

exiled Yugoslav government, re-
turned to Belgrade to help Marshal
Tito form unified government with

Plans drafted previously in Bel

ministers in the present royal gov
eminent as collaborators, now have
the Kremlin's friendly approval.

Changes in the constitutional

IWMC Officials Confident
Of Ending New Shortages

BY the Associated Press.
Manpower officials, faced with the
job of finding nearly 100000 more
workers for critical war programs
expressed confidence yesterday that
the goal will be met.
Pressed for weeks to provide 300
600 men and women for tagging
munitions operations. the War Man.
power Commission has been con-
fronted suddenly with an urgent
appeal for another 100000. These
are needed quickly to meet Gen
Eisenhower's request for a doubled
flow of small arms ammunition.
The agency's optimism prevailed
despite fresh reports that a move
of war workers to peacetime jobs
is growing.
In New Jersey, State VINO Di-
rector Thomas F. Costello said
10000 persons had disappeared"
from munitions work during the
year prior to September /. Re-
placements, he said, had not kept
pace with departures, with the re-
suit that "at no time in the his
tory of the war effort has such a
critical labor situation existed In
New Jersey"
Similar reports have come from
West Coast Shipyards.
