YugosIavs Hear Plea
For All Red Nations
To Join Against West
Accusations by Cominform
Benefit AneIo-Americon
Bloc, Party Session Told
BY the Associoted Press

BELGRADE, July 23-The
Yugoslav Communist Congress
heard today an appeal to all
Communist countries to settle
their differences and unite to
fight Anglo American war
mongers.
All speeches Of this third days
meeting lauded Premier Marshal
Tito's war record, reconstruction
efforts and stand against the Com
inform. The Russian-ruled COMM
form had castigated Tito as depart
ing from the party line
Tito appeared to have Yugoslav
Communists lined up solidly behind
him. un Moscow, however, Pravda
printed a letter from 245 young
Communists studying in Russian
military schools, demanding Titos
overthrow.
Bozidar Maslalich, president OF
the All Slav Committee, said Tito's
theology is the true Marxist-Leninist
way He asserted that Yugoslavia
under Tito has been more solidly
behind Premier Stain and Russia
and other peoples democracies."
Yugoslav Stand Upheld.
Maslarich upheld the Yugoslav
stand in the Cominform split. He
said every country has individual
problems to be solved in individual
ways.
He said Communists in Poland
and Czechoslovakia told them they
doubted whether their party was
telling them the truth about Yugo-
slavia and that they saw no reason
for breaking friendly relations.
"The question is how to get out
Of this situation" Maslarich said
"all progressive and democratic ma
tions are united against imperialists
and warmongers on the principle OF
national equality and not on the
principal of mixing in the internal
affairs of others"
He said none of the East Bloc
people could really approve this
sudden campaign against Yugo-
slavia because it is quite naturally
working to the benefit of the enemy
bloc"
The democratic people demand
that their leaders arrive at an
agreement and unite in the struggle
against the Anglo-American war
mongers," he said.
Solidarity for Tito Shown.
The whole congress program was
aimed at showing solidarity for Tito
Every event of the Yugoslay
Communist Party Congress is un-
derscoring this solidarity. Cheers
erupted time and again yesterday
for Tito, Russia's Prime Minister
Stain and the Yugoslav party as
Interior Minister Alex Rankovic
addressed the 2,000-odd delegates
Tito, Rankovic, Vice Premier
Eduard Kardelj, Minister Without
Portfolio MILAN Djilas and Franz
Leshkovic of Slovenia were identi-
fled for the first time as members
of the Yugoslav Communist Polit-
buro.
Borba, the Communist newspaper,
carried demand from Montenegro
Communist leaders for the re-elec-
! ton of the "old heroic Central
Committee of the party"
Education Program Planned.
Rankovic indicated that Tito and
his men intend to insist on the
right to handle internal problems
as the Yugoslav Communists see fit
This policy was believed to be one
of the fundamental issues causing
the split between Yugoslavia and
the Cominform.
The Interior Minister said the
party would conduct a program OF
education based on the works OF
Lenin, Stain, Marx and Engels, but
added:
There will be compulsory SUBJ
jects (for our members) which will
specify the proper application OF
Marxism and Leninism in our coun-
try"
