BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Sept
12.-Premier Tito flung new de-
fiance into the teeth of the Rus
, sian bear today.
Yugoslavia, he declared, "steeled
by tremendous experience" in
World War II, is ready to over
come any present troubles as ii
did its past ones.
The Premier, prime target OF
Moscow and the Cominform as a
hereto from Marxism, addressed
a group of engineers and work
ers from motor factory near
here. They came to Belgrade to
show him three new types OF trac-
tors they developed in the coun-
try's industrialization campaign
the very campaign which so irks
Moscow.
Refuses to Bow to Moscow.
Tito has refused to bow to Mos.
cows orders to concentrate on ar
agrarian economy, just as he re.
fused to heed Moscow's orders te
step up collectivization OF farms
His thus far successful rebellion
against Moscow domination in
these and other aspects now shows
signs of being copied in Other
Communist countries.
In his brief talk, Tito told the
group their efforts provided the
best answer to foreign "inven-
tions and lies'' about socialist de-
velopment of Yugoslavia. The
account was carried by the Com
munist newspaper Borba.
Rallying to Ttito's standard, his
navy informed him today it is
ready to defend the nation against
any attacks, regardless if they
come from east or west-regard-
less whether they are led by
Churchill or Stain"
This telegram to Tito came
from the Adriatic Port of Split
It was sent in the name of officers
and men of the navy, and it de-
nounced the Cominform's anti
Yugoslav campaign as a dirty
but futile attempt to interfere
with this country's internal affairs.
Not Frightened by Attitude.
"Such insults and such hostile
attitudes cannot frighten u.s." the
telegram said. eve are convinced
victory will be ours because we are
defending the just cause, because
we are faithful to the teachings
of Marx and Lenin."
Tito and his Yugoslav Com
munists lay claim to being better
Communists than Stain and his
Russian ones.
The customary weekend stream
of kilograms poured in from work.
ing groups throughout the country,
to help fill morning newspapers
and tone down rumors of internal
unrest. All struck the same note
Loyalty to Tito and the Yugo-
slav Communist Party and anger
at the Cominform attacks, which
began 16 months ago.
In Novi Sad, center of Yugo-
slavia's bread basket, Serbian
Agriculture Minister Rista Antu-
movie presented a bright picture
of increased farm production. He
said grain production already has
reached the prewar level, despite
the wars descriptions and cited
figures purporting to show that
the average consumer is eating
more this year.
Equal Partnership Demanded.
Borba ran the final one of a Sc
ries of articles by Milovan Djilas,
Tito's Politburo secretary, analyz-
ing the differences between Rus
sia and Yugoslavia. He con-
demned what he said were Rus
sian departures from the tenets OF
Marx and Lenin and Russian ef-
forts to promote unequal rela-
tions." Tito demands that he be
considered an equal partner with
Russia in the Communist scheme
of things.
Saturdays revelation that Hun
gary had jailed eight top party
men for trying to overthrow the
Kremlin controlled government
was taken here as the latest evil
dence that important persons in
the satellite countries would like
to follow Yugoslavia's example.
Along with other incidents. ii
is considered to show widespread
resentment in Eastern Europe over
Russia's economic exploitation OF
the small peoples democracies.
Tito's Promise Recalled.
Observers recalled the trial. and
execution of Albania's Koci Xoxe
the removal of Greece's rebel
leader Gen. Markos Vafiades, Bull
garia's ousting of Traicho Kostov
from his party post and the de-
velopment Of an Independent
anti-Moscow Communist Party in
Germany.
Tito's promise in Augustine
will help the Bulgarians to re-
move those individuals who have
raised objections to creation and
preservation of brotherly rela-
tions"-now is believed to have
deeper meaning.
