News of the World At A Glance ---

Continued from Page One) tention on security problems.
 Russia has its own cold war with communist YugoSlavia. The Moscow press levelled propaganda guns at Premier Marshal Tito again today. The Soviet army newspaper Red Star pictured Tito as blood thirsty dog of the "fas- ciSt gestapo breed" Hungarian and CzechoSlovakian newspapers stepped up their anti-Tito propa- ganda barrage.
 Chiang Kai-Shek made a hur- ried flight to Chungking today in an attempt to prevent nationalist warlords from possibly making secret agreements with the Chi neSe communists.
 SzechWan province warlords have been at odds with the nationalist army commander in southwest China. Chiang is attempting to patch up their differences. The nationalists want to make Chung king their capital should Canton fall. The communist war machine continued to roll towards Canton.
 However, Chiang was presented with reports of nationalist victo- ries in Human province, and the nationalist position in center China looked brighter.
 Finland'S central trade union federation has expelled commun- ist-dominated unions. The com munists have been leading wild cat strikes causing widespread in duStrial strife. Observers said the expulsion of four communicated unions from the central body might split the trade union move ment wide open. Russia keeps a watchful eye on any anti-com- munist move in Finland, which borders on the Soviet Union.
 Britain's financial probl e m s came before the consultative as sembly of the Council of Europe. Lord Layton, British Liberal, pre- dicted that the British pound soon will be devalued and he urged that other European currencies be revalued simultaneously. Top Bri- tish officials meet in Washington early next month to discuss the British financial crisis.
