Some constitutional changes may
be forthcoming.
Only in Hungary and Austria are
rival parties contesting the cleo
items in western democratic style.
Single lists prevail in Yugoslavia
and Bulgaria where there is free
dom Of choice for government sup
porters.
Both the national liberation front
in Yugoslavia and the Fatherland
front in Bulgaria represent coali-
tons of several political groups,
mostly communist-dominated.
Seven separate lists Of candidates
will vconfront the voters Of Hungary
and three in Austria, but the re-
suits were not expected to bring
far.reaching changes. In bota
countries the parties have agreed
to continue the present government
coalition in office no matter what
the returns.
Although the political cost Of
both Bulgarian and Yugoslavia will
likely remain the same, constitu-
tional changes may be expected in
Yugoslavia and possibly Bulgaria.
The new constituent assembly Of
9ugoslavia is expected to proclaim
q federal democratic republic with
Marshal Tito (Josip Bros) as presi-
dent. At present it is a kingdom
with its monarch-King Peter-in
exile in London. Bulgaria also is
nominally ruled by the boy king,
Simeon III, but many leaders of
the Fatherland front are known
to oppose the Koburg dynasty.
