'Cominform Increasing
5-Year Plan Problem,
YugosIay Paper Says
By the Associoted Press

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Aug. 81.
-Borba, the official Communist
Party newspaper, said today that
the Cominform attacks on Yugo-
slav leadership had piled up heavier
and unexpected difficulties in addi-
ton to those of realizing goals un-
der the flve-year plan.
The comment came in an edi-
torial on the death of Col. Gen.
Arso Jovanovic, former Yugoslav
army chief-of-staff killed August II
while attempt to fee into Ro-
mania.
During such times, said Borba.
"the weak-spirited must be dealt
with in the utmost severity"
Lesson Seen in Staying Case.
The editorial said the case of
Jovanovic would serve as an i'm
portant lesson to Yugoslav Com
munists to increase their watchful-
ness in IAN uncempromising fight
against all open and hidden enemies
of our party and our Socialist
fatherland."
(Radar, the official Romanian
news agency, Thursday charged
Premier Marshal Tito and other
members of his government with
treason and horrible murder" in
the death of Jovanovic.
(Romania is a member OF the
Comingform, the Soviet-led
Communist Information Bureau
which has accused Tito of fol-
lowing an anti-Russian and anti
MARKHAM policyD
Borba said Jovanovic deserved to
die as he did by the bullet of a
common soldier who understood
better than he the right interests OF
Socialist construction in our coun-
try"
Assailed as Weakling.
Jovanovic, a former intimate of
Tito in the days of Partisan war
fare against the Nazis, was shot to
death by border guard. Foreign
diplomatic sources speculated he
may have been attempting to flee
the country to lead Soviet-sup-
ported movement against Tito.
Borba assailed Jovanovic as a
traitorous weakling who would have
succumbed to pressure from many
side.
There is no doubt, said Borba
that Jovanovic and others like him
Sin q different situation and under
blows of Western imperialism would
likewise be ready to capitulate and
seek a displaced persons passport to
the West-to betray his country to
Western imperalists.

direct cause of the attempted escape,
but added these unjust attacks on
our party have really revived
all that was unsound and wavering
in our party and all of those who
directly or indirectly reflected the
influence of opposition created by
exploiters of our country"
Borba added that such attacks
throw into the open unhealthy ele-
ments in the Communist Party SO
that those loyal to Tito can more
mercilessly and consistently purge
our ranks of similar enemy ele-
ments."
The newspapers said such attacks
bring inevitably the support of
those in our country who are
enemies to construction of socialism
and to the revolutionary workers
movement in general"

And God is loved in Mississippi,

US. Mineral Output Show!
Increase Of 1917 in 1947
By the kssocioted Press

Toiling at a record-breaking pace
the United States produced 13 per
cent more minerals and mineral
products, including petroleum, in
1947 than in 1946-and the value
was 40 per cent greater, the Bureau
Of Mines said yesterday.
The total quantity of minerals
produced, according to the bureaus
estimate, was 5 per cent above the
war time peak of 1914.
At the same time, Secretary of the
Interior Krug cautioned that the
Nations rate Of mineral discovery is
not keeping pace. with the rapidly
rising output. Current production
of petroleum, he said, is virtually at
the maximum rate at which de-
veloped reserves can be worked ef-
ficiently.
The bureau estimated the total
value Of 1947 minerals and mineral
products at an all-time high q
$12 ,40O, ,000,O 900. The 1916 figure was
$3.50 900, 900.

on first degree forgery charges.
Bulk of Estate for DreseI.
Mr.. Hogan accused the men Of
forging a will on a blank sheet of
paper on which he said Dresel had

ture before her death. Dresel was
to receive the bulk of the estate, Mr..
Hogan said, paying one-fourth to
Lasch.
The two men will be given hear
ings January 16 on the forgery

Mr. Hogan gave this account:
| Miss Molsberger, who for many
years had operated Lexington ave-
nue. dress shops patronized by So
cialites, lived like hermit" at the
apartment house in the east COS, at
tended only by the superintendent.
Dresel took her for walks, pur-
chased food for her and several
times, went with her to bank to
withdraw funds.
DR.. Eric Bash, called in by Dresel,
had treated Miss Molsberger for
high blood pressure and heart
ailment, and last June was sum-
moned to treat her for bruises,
which she fold him were caused by
"a fall fror1a bus. 80
Died Two Days Later.
Two days later, on June 80. Miss
Molsberger died, and DR.. Bash Ger
titled her death as due to natural
causes, Mr.. Hogan said.
At his Office today DR.. Bash said
he had prescribed a heart stimulant
for Miss Molsberger containing BAR
bituric acid, but that he had pre-
scribed one pill three times daily
and it would take from 80 to 40
of the pills at once to cause death.
He said when he was called in
following the woman's death, there
was no indication of any poisoning" 4"
he added he had not been surprised
at her death because of her pre-
vious condition.
After DR.. Bash had certified the

death, Mr. Hogan continued, Dresel
asked Lasch to handle the funeral
The undertaken asked If there were
q will and Dresel replied that there
was none, but that he had the
woman's signature at the bottom
Of q sheet Of paper.
Other Legacies Listed.
Lasch then typed out a will, dat
ing it May 28, and leaving the bulk
Of the estate to Dresel, who was
named executor. To avert suspicion
he listed several small legacies-
81 900 each to bank employe and
an elevator operator: $4,000 to a
porter, and 5000 to Dresels daugh-
ter.
After the will was offered for

The first-and perhaps most i'm

ton Of the economic struggle
between Moscow and the Western
World With few signs Of concilia-

The second has been the theory,
constantly hammered home by the
British press, that the Western
European nations must demonstrate
their ability and their willingness
to work out their own economic
salvation without sole dependency
on American initiative and aid.
BY beginning now to set up
the machinery for economic collab-

be taking a cue from Russia itself.
