by the Assoeiofsd Press

BELGRADE. Yugoslavia, Sept

Moshe Pijade, one of Premier
Marshal Tito's top-ranking spokes-
men. said in an article in the
omcial newspaper. Borba:
"Yugoslavia will have nothing
to lose"
Pijade's blast, latest broadside
in the war of words between the
Kremlin and Tito's regime, was
touched of by an article in the
Russian foreign policy weekly, New
Times, which had accused Yugo.
slsvia Of duplicity in her dealing!
with neighbor Albania.
Lie Charged to Russia.
Piade. former newspapermar
and author, who is the Yugoslay
Party's top theorist. termed the
charge Of the Cominform that
Tito is plotting with Greece tc
carve up Albania. a ridiculous
and slanderous" accusation.
The article said the Russian
claim that Yugoslavia sold out the
cause of the Communicated Greek
guerrilla rebels amounted tt
nothing more than a plain lie. II

took when he clashed with Leon
Trotsky over building Socialism
Communism In Russia after
World War I.
I'VE must clear this matter up. .
said Tito in q speech made public
yesterday by the Information Min
istry, "and say-as Lenin said to
Trotsky-it is possible to build
socialism in one country"
There has been no comment
yet from Belgrade on a Moscow
radio assertion that guerilla fight

Butler Steel Bins, more than 40 years old,

Butler engineers have continuously improved
