Red Satellite Parties
Reject Invitation 10
Yugos|avs' Congress
By the Assoeioied Press

LONDON, July 10.-Commu-
mist Parties throughout Europe
began following Russia's lead
today in turning down an invi-
tation to the fifth YugoSlav
Communist Congress in Bel
grade July 81.
Reflections were reported today by
Communist headquarters in Rome,
Budapest and Prague. Russia gave
her refusal Wednesday,
In Moscow, Tsss, the Soviet news
agency, said a Soviet army delega-
zion has arrived in Tirana, Albania
and has been welcomed by thou
sands of inhabitants"
Tass said the delegation was in
vited by Albania's National Defense
Ministry to be present at national
holiday of the Albanian army. This
week Albania warned Yugoslavia
she was taking "strong measures" to
guard her borders against hostile
elements"
Yugoslavia invited all Communist
parties to attend the congress, the
week after her leaders had been
accused by the Communist Informa-
tion Bureau of departing from the
Marxist-Leninist line. In their re-
iections today, the Communist par
ties leveled new blasts against the
Yugoslays.
Italian Reds Hit Yugoslavs.
The Italian Communists charged
through their party organ L'Unita
in Rome that since publication OF
the Cominform resolution the Yugo-
slavs have done nothing to "recog-
nize their errors like good Commu-
nists and to correct them"
In Budapest, Hungarian Commu-
nists said their party can not take
part in the congress OF g. party
which has excluded herself from
the family of labor parties
In Prague, Rude Prsyo RED
Right, official newspaper of the
Czechoslovak Community Party, not
only repeated the Cominform
charges today, but also assailed at
tempts made since by supporters OF
Premier Marshal Tito.
Meanwhile Tanjug, Yugoslav news
agency, and the Moscow radio kept
up their propaganda duel, backing
Tito and the Cominform respec-
lively.
A dispatch from Bucharest said
Romanian oil deliveries to Yugo-
slavia have ceased. Temporary
hottlenecks" were given as the reason
for the suspension.
On the propaganda front the
Moscow radio broadcast an an
nouncement by the Communist
parties OF Albania, Finland and
Slovakia that they are behind the
Cominform in the Yugoslav dispute.
Tanjug distributed long article
here scheduled to appear in Borba,
Yugoslav Communist paper in Bel
grade.
The article, by Moshe Piysde,
defends Tito's leadership against
what it calls "all sense OF usual
morals, not to speak of Communist
morals"

In as strong words as they could

Many Berlin problems call for

The American, British and French

Truman Message Sent to Stain.
President Truman sent a message
to Mr.. Stain On June IA proposing
that Allied forces be ordered into
their respective occupation zones.
He said he was ready to order Amer
ican troops back to their zonal
boundaries on June 81, provided
there was simultaneous movement
of the various national garrisons
into Berlin with provision for free
access by air, road and rail from
Frankfurt and Bremen into Berlin
for the United States.
Mr.. Stain replied on June 16,
suggesting that the date for the
movement be changed to July l,
which was done. But he proposed
no other change in the plan out
lined by Mr.. Truman and said all
necessary measures would be taken
in accordance with 1t.
While Mr.. Stain did not speci-
f1cally repeat in his message the
references to free access to Berlin,
his acceptance OF the arrangement
was construed here as acceptance OF
the full contract.
Gen. Marshall asserted in his
Tuesday note that the United States
would not have withdrawn It's troops
from a large area now occupied by
the Soviet "had there been any
doubt whatsoever about the abserv-
ance of its agreed right Of free
access to its sector Of Berlin"
The British note cited similar
exchange between Mr.. Churchill and
Mr.. Stain. The French had no
similar exchange because they were
not allotted an occupation zone at
the time. But they cited subsequent
arrangements giving them the same
right OF free access to Berlin.

motor travel on the only highway
linking Berlin with the West until
q settlement Is reached on the entire
blockade issue.
All routes to Berlin run through
the Russian zone which surround
the city.
The motor traffic in recent weeks
has been limited to outgoing pas
senger travel as a result OF success
sive Soviet restrictions which began
in April.
Should the Western Allies comply
with the latest Russian plan, its
effect would be to ease the current
highway blockade for traffic moving
from the West into Berlin. But 1t
also placed under strict Russian
control the last means OF land exit
from Berlin for some $4,000 Allied
nationals here.
Air Shuttle Continues.
This was the latest of successive
soviet-imposed transport restric-
tions which have thrown . tight
land blockade on Berlin and forced
the Western powers to resort to
giant air shuttle to feed their own
nationals and some 100000 Ger
mans living in the Western sectors
Of Berlin.
British and American flyers con-
tinued their supply shuttle at q fast
pace this morning, despite steady
rain. From midnight to Q am. 65
American cargo planes arrived at
Tempelhof Airfield with supplies.
For weeks the only American,
British and French travel on the
single highway linking Berlin with
the West has been outgoing. But
even this was restricted to passenger
cars or empty trucks, because since
April the Russians have insisted
that no motor freight cargoes-Al-
lied or Germai,-be permitted tram
sit westward through their zone
without prior approval Of their con-
tents by Soviet headquarters here.
Before today's order, Allied motor
trafic leaving Berlin was allowed
to pass without special permits.
The drivers carried travel orders
issued by their own military gov
ernments.
Repair Claims Termed Fraud.
An American ofiicial said last
night that Russian claims that
repairs forced them to close the
lone railway to Berlin from the
west are "a lot Of hooey."
There Is nothing at all wrong
with the line" this official added.
American and British military
government officers Joined In saying
an investigation Of the Soviet claims
revealed them q fraud. They said
the Russians have not even brought
out repair crews.
It was the first time the Ameri-
cans and British directly challenged
the Russians to show that the three
weeks land blockade was not .
political move to squeeze the West
ern powers out OF Berlin.
