BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, July
22.-The fifth congress of the
Yugoslav Communist Party re-
sumed today with another mara
thon speech following up Mar
shall Tito's eight-hour blast
which accused the Russian-led
Cominform of trying to foment
civil war in Yugoslavia.
Minister of Interior Alexander
Rankovic took up where Tito left
off yesterday. Rankovic, whose
name has been one to strike terror
into the hearts of all Tito's enemies,
talked on party organization. Rank
ovic heads the UDBA (security
police).
The Belgrade press was given over
almost completely to Tito's speech
to the 1900 delegates to this Con-
gress, Stunned by the Communist
Parties of other Eastern nations.
Press Hints Developments.
The press also carried a hint of
what may come. Borba, the official
Communist newspaper, reported
that Communist leaders of Monte
negro asked the reelection of all
'the old heroic Central Committee
of the party" They especially
wanted the return of Tito, Bankovic,
Milovan Djilas and Eduard Kardelj,
Tito's Vice Premier.
Newspapers, for the first time,
identified the members of the Yugo-
slav Communists Politburo. Pic
lures showed them as Tito, Kardelj,
Rankovic, Djilas and Franz LeSh-
kovlc of Slovenia. Originally there
were seven members.
Tito said yesterday two of the
leaders he purged had spearheaded
a move by "antiparty persons" He
identified the two as Sraten Zujovic,
former Finance Minister, and An
drija Hebrang, former Minister of
Light Industry and one time presi-
dent of the nations planning COM
mission. (There was no indica-
ton that these two had been men,
bers of the Politburo, however,
Tito Implies He Has Control.
Tito implied that he now has full
control of the situation.
In an eight-hour speech to the
wildly cheering Yugoslav CommEa-
ist delegates Tito also:
l. Rejected again the Comm
forms ISLANDERS" against the Yugo-
slav Communist Party.
2. Pledged the party will continue
to follow the MarXist pattern.
3. Said he wants the friendship
of the Russian Communist Party
and promised to work toward i'm
proving relations with Moscow
4. Reiterated that Yugoslavia
stands on all her policies, including
cooperation for peace with coun-
tries outside the Russian bloc.
S. Hurled bitter comment at the
five Cominform countries whose
representatives signed the attack on
Yugoslavia.
Attack Is Recalled.
In that attack the Cominform
denounced Yugoslav Communist
leaders as being nationalistic and
anti-Russian.
Throughout his entire speech Tito
did not back down an inch from
the position he has held since the
Cominform assailed him. He
pledged that the party will continue
to follow the line he and his Par
tisan leaders have set for the COM
plete socialization of Yugoslavia.
Tito heaped sarcasm on Albania,
Bulgaria and Romania-all Comm
form members He said Yugoslavia
has been helping Albania econom-
ically "to our own detriment" in
order to aid that small state in re-
manning Independent.
He pointed out that Yugoslavia
is writing off $25,000,000 in repara-
tions from writing off
the largest part of our peoples
property plundered in Yugoslavia
by Bulgarian Fascists and
passing over all that happened in
the past"
Aid to Romania Cited.
"Is that nationalism?" he asked
ironically.
For Romania, Tito said. Yugo-
slavia spared 1000 railway carloads
of wheat during the 1916 drought
while our own people were dying"
He added that Yugoslavia helped
feed Poland in 1947 and Czechoslo-
vakia this year.
And what are the representatives
of these countries doing today at
the information bureau session
signing a resolution in which we are
pharisaically reaproached for pur-
suing in incorrect policy with our
populations food supply" he said.
However, he said Yugoslavia looks
to Russia for reliance and protec-
ton
Yugoslavia's working people and
Communists, he declared, will
never forget what we were taught
by our party-that our reliance and
protection should always look to
the Soviet Union, the all-union
Communist Party. and its leader,
Great Stalin."
