Tito Halls Russians,
But Not Leaders, on
Soviet Anniversary
Dy the ksseeiotsd Press

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Nov. Z
-Yugoslavia hailed the people OF
the Soviet Union-but not their
leaders-today on the 32d ami
versary Of the Russian revolution,
Borba, newspaper Of Premier
Marshal Tito's government. and
the rest Of the press underlined
this fact. -..
The leadership Of Russia. said
Borba, "jeopardizes and tramples
liberty. independence and the
peaceful development Of other So
cialistic countries"
Soviet Policy Criticized.
The Soviet policy toward Yugo-
slavia, Borba continued, harmed
the cause of communism at a time
when American imperialism" was
preparing ito start a new war in
order to establish world domina-
ton"
Charges of "imperialist
warmongering" have been soft
pedalled in Yugoslavia since
Tito's nation turned westward
for aid in his fight with the
Moscow = led Cominform. In
this case the resurrection Of
the charges could be intended
to reaffirm that Yugoslavia is
still q Communist nation and
considers herself acting on q
front with the others in cer-
tain foreign affairs).
y For II months the Cominform
the Communist international
Information Bureau-has been
attacking Tito's government as
anti-Soviet and anti-Marxist. The
war of nerves has been heightened
by border incidents.
Military Activity CHARGED
The press today protested that
Russia has sent her own military
units. as we'll as those Of neigh
boring Communist countries, to
take part in the campaign against
Tito. Some Of these troop move
ments could be just normal
autumn maneuvers in the
Balkans, but their strength and
scope could have been planned
this year as part Of the scare cam
.paign against Yugoslavia.

Red Decision 10 Keep
Tight Military Rein
|0n East Reich Seen
BY the Assoeiafsd Press

BERLIN, Nov. 1.-THE Russians
have apparently decided to keep .
tight military rein on Eastern Ger
many despite their promises Of
sovereignty to the new Commu-
mist government.
This is the view taken today by
Western Allied officials as a result
of the Soviet announcement that
Gen. VASTLY Chiukov will remain
here as head of the Russian Con-
troll Commission.
The control commission replaces
the old Soviet military administra-
ton in name only. Gen. Chiukov
headed the military administra-
tion.
An American officer whose job il
to evaluate Soviet moves com.
mented:
"Chuikov is an old line army
man and understands only army
methods. This means his control
commission isn't any different
from the old Soviet military ad-
ministration."
The officer added:
1T seems also that the Russians
decided they can't trust the Com
munist peoples police either, so
they are keeping their army's
hand in.'
The Soviet Council Of Ministers
in Moscow announced earlier this
morning the selection of Gen.
Chuikov as chairman of the con-
troll commission and Vladimir
Seminov as his political adviser.
This is the same team that con-
Quoted the affairs of the Russian

Stop-Gap Atomic Plan
Reported Submitted 70
Powers by RomuIo
BY the Assoeioted Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Nov. 7.-Au-
thoritative quarters said today
Carlos P. Romulo, president Of
the United Nations Assembly, has
proposed q stop-gap atomic plan
under which all countries would
pledge themselves not to use the
A-bomb. =.
The Romulo plan was outlined
in . letter to the big powers and
to other members of the U. N.
Atomic Energy Commission last
week. but the details were kept
secret. They were reported as the
So members of the Assembly, S
Special Political Committee pre-
pared to begin general atomic
debate.
The Philippine diplomat was
said to have proposed q temporary
armistice under which every coun-
try would agree to stop making
atomic bombs and to open it's ter
ritory to international inspection.
He also called on the Atomic Com
mission to intensity its efforts to
find permanent atomic control
plan. ,~..:x.
Replies Being Prepared.
The letter was sent first last
Wednesday to the six permanent
members of the Atomic Commis-
sion-Canada and the Big Five.
1t was sent to the other five men,
bers of the commission Friday.
The delegations were reported
preparing individual replies to
Gen. Romulo's proposals.
The Assembly's atomic debate
puts Russia's newest atomic pro-
nouncements on the public testing
block. t.s.
An open, formal discussion fol-
lows secret six-power talks that
ended in failure to bring Russia
over to the Western viewpoint on
international control. It comes a
day after new Russian ipsistence,
from a top-ranking spokesman.
that the Soviet Union will use
atomic energy only for peaceful
purposes.
The prospect OF an accord COM
ing out OF the open debate is as
gloomy as it was in the 10 weeks
OF wrangling behind closed doors.
Russia still holds out against
majority views on atomic control
agreed on by the United States.
Canada. Britain, France and
China. Most of the U. N. mem
bers have supported the majority
plan for strict international con-
troll in past votes.
Some new formulas and some
only slightly new are expected In
the 5s-member special Political
Committee which is holding the
public debate. ?
Soviet Argues on Sovereignty.
The majority IN the u. N. is
expected to continue its irsistence
that control of atomic energy
must be accompanied by an inter
nationally operated inspection
system.
The Russians argue that for
eigners coming into. their country
to inspect atomic energy plants
would violate Russian sovereignty
