gible, James E. Webb, Budget Bu-
reau director, declared yesterday.
Speaking at meeting of the
Rotary Club in the Mayf1ower Hotel
Mr.. Webb said nearly two-thirds of
the present 100000 Federal en-
ployes are working for the Post
Office Department or the National
Defense Establishment.
If the payrolls of all remaining
agencies were cut in half-a step
that would cripple all programs au-

would be reduced by only 81 900 000,-

exists in the United States.
The system provides liberalized dis
ability benefits, death grants; cash
payments during sickness, injury or
unemployment; maternity payments
and various other forms of assistance.
Under the health program, doctors
fees, hospital bills, and drug costs will
be borne by the government and paid

continue to pay private fees to phys

necessity of paying premium fees.
In addition to the medical services
rendered by physicians, the program
will meet the costs of spectacles, hear

Under the program, the government
has taken control and ownership of

The Cominform-Tito rift has given rise to some

crucial questions in today's world.

The leaders and the press of most Communist parties

United States, working overtime trying to uncover
the exact nature of Tito and deviations The
same writers who for years regarded the communist
leaders of Yugoslavia among the most terrific Com
munists under the suddenly strain to show that

have the most exciting story. The rift is not genuine
part of scenario concocted by Stain and Tito to
fool the West The next will be the Soviet Army

Stuff and nonsense-a of it.
Never, before since the rift, have the Yugosavs
made statement published much as suggestion
that they entertain the fantest aspiration to be indie
pendent of the USSR in the that unprecse minds
in England and America mean by independent" small
nations in world of greatpower politics and rivalry
Never, before since the rift have the YugosIavs
limited with a single word that they not,

notwithstanding the central point of YugosIavs war
time and postwar thinking about their state
aIways-is noW-that the existence of the USSR is
for them the best guarantee of the maximum indie
pendence that any small people can have in today's
world.
The rift has brought perceptible drop in the
Yugoslavs open resentment of the United States
precisely of "Wa Street, the base of world re-
action which is spearheadng Imperialism and the drive
toward World War Ill Even a slight knowledge of
the character and propulsons of Yugosava should

That resentment springs up in Yugoslavs even when

Years former Cleveland industrial laborer
named Andy, old immigrant from Yugosava, worked
on my farm in the Delaware Valley.
One day lightning ripped part of branch off tree
and asked him to off the rest of it. Andy said

pose; but (perhaps because storms relax if |
tense from overwork) didn't insist it. A typical
YugoslaV with ideas and ways Of his own, Andy was
deeply Independent but usually ready to along with

Since suggested the saw, it meant much to him to
the Ratchet; and he hacked off the broken limb
in his own good time. Ultimately it made differ
ence the tree looked just as well if he had used
the saw and had attended to it Immediately.
If in overhaste or in a bad mood bluntly ordered
Andy to do something the chances that he either
didn't do it at all or did it poorly.
Had Andrea Zhdanov known Andy, Yugoslavia and
Russia might have come to rift at ALL But re-
membering Andy, I also imagine that Yugoslavs,
with their unique characteristics, be exasperating
to Soviet leaders responsible for their counry

angle of the Soviet orbit, it may be all to the good

Again: there is no doubt what side Yugoslayia is
and will be in war; but it that Tito
hopes to impress this his Soviet friends-that if
Yugoslavia does things in her way in atmos

be bigger asset in the war; than if she is grudgngly
told how and when to act; that in fact she will be
worthless if Russia in fear of fails to respect the

The present Yugoslav leaders know their people
Since 1941 they and the people have been through a

them; and the leaders feel they know better than
anyone else can know what is necessary and possible
