London Looks for Effect
On YuqosLay Situation

LONDON, Sept. / (R.-There is
speculation here today as to what
effect the death of Col Gen. Andrei
ZhdanoV may have on Communist
Eastern Europe's future relations
with Yugoslavia.
Gen. Zhdanov, one of Russia's ton
policy makers, generally was cred
tied with the get-tough policy which
led to the recent Cominform denun-
citation of Premier Marshal Tito and
his lieutenants.
For what it is worth, intimates
of Ana Pauker, Romanias s Foreign
Minister and high in the ranks of
the Communist Party, quoted her as
saying during the recent Danube
Conference in Belgrade that Gen.
Zhdanov had incurred Prime Min
lister Stalin's displeasure as a result
of the Yugoslav developments.
She claimed, they said, that Mr..
Stain himself told her that If Russia
had known the extent of the support
for Tito and the possibility that the
Cominform blast might boomerang,
then altogether different tactics for
Yugoslavia would have been ordered.
Change Of Leaders Held Solution.
In summing up the situation, one
high-ranking Yugoslav official said
recently that the breach between
Russia and Yugoslavia could be
closed only by a change in policy
makers in one country or the other.
In the case of Yugoslavia, that
would mean the removal of Tito
who-slnce the Cominform's at
tack-has stuck firmly to his guns
and has met each blast with one
of his own while processing loyalty
to the Communist cause.
Just possibly, in the case of Rus
sia, the death of Gen. Zhdanov
might help ease Eastern Europe's in
ternal friction by removing leader

Asked for Case Files.
The committee report said Mr.

based his testimony that at least
several hundred undesirable aliens

He furnished files on 327 cases

The Russian public was deeply
shocked at the sudden news of Gen
