city how many counties accounted

Herald said returns as of this
morning, for all counties thus far
polled, gave Labor a net loss OF
SO seats.
Twenty-three more counties

ing, which began Monday.

Already Under Way,
Peoples Front Told
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, April
s-Premier Marshal Tito def
antly served notice today that
Yugoslavia feels free to deal eco
nomically with the West.
Sun-tanned and dapper in a
blue uniform, Tito spoke for two
hours and IL minutes before the
Peoples Front congress In the
great hall of suburban Top
chidar's tree-lined - and we'll
guarded-park.
1t was his first major address
since New Years Eve. Then he
barked harshly at the Cominform
neighbors who 10 months ago
denounced him for pursuing ma
tionalist and Trotskyite policies.
Today Tito hit back again. He
was in an Independent and defiant
mood. He charged that Russia
and her Soviet satellites in the
Cominform were attempting to
promote a civil war in Yugoslavia
by attempting to persuade his
country's mixed population to
throw out his regime.
West Selling to- Yugoslavia.
That point-and the decision
publicly announced Of a plan to
trade with the West If suitable
arrangements can be made
formed the basis Of the greater
part Of his speech.
He told the congress delegates
there is more truth than gossip"
in the stories spread by the Com
inform agents that the West to-
day is selling Yugoslavia every
thing 1t desires.
Then he asked:
"Are we going to trade-that is.
TO buy everything we need. and
sell everything we can in order to
pay for imported machines?"
"Of course, we WILL" he said.
"It would be crime against our
Socialist country If we failed to do
so. They will give us machines
and plants and we shall give them
what we have and what we can
give. money for goods and vice.
versa.
IF they are willing to trade with
US on that basis it Is all right. If
not. they acnnot expect anything
else from U.s."
He added, with emphasis:
Every one should bear this in
mind"
Tito's words were punctuated
with applause-cries Of Tito hero,
Tito hero, Tito hero" He was
given a three-minute standing
ovation by the / 800 delegates and
another 900 guests crowded into
the chamber.
Politbur0 Members Present.
Behind him at long table were
arrayed members of his Politburo,
most Of them his former associ-
ates when he led Yugoslavia' S
fight for liberation. And behind
the Politburo were the huge flags
of Yugoslavia's republics, bright
against the white background.
There were no pictures oecorat-
ing the chamber, as in the past;

and Lenin.
