Tito and Arms

Everything within reason should be done to
strengthen Yugoslavia's armed forces. Although
apparently hopeful that his country will be
spared an invasion in the immediate future,
Marshal Tito has found the situation sufficiently
menacing to require the Speediest possible mod
ernization of his army. Accordingly, he has
informally requested France, Britain and the
United States to help him out with aid in the
form of weapons and other military equipment.
At this stage, however, with the Western
rearmament effort not yet in high gear, there is
anything but an abundance of the artillery,
tanks, small arms and similar items that Yugo-
slavia's anti ti-Kremlim Communist leader is
reported to have asked for. A special Anglo
French-American committee has been set up to
study and pass upon the request but before 1t
can take any action, it must consult with all
the members of the Atlantic Pact, some of whom
will have to give up part of their share in the
available military supply if Tito is to receive
prompt and substantial help.
There can be little doubt that Yugoslavia
needs such help. During the past three years
ever since the Kremlin cut loose against the Tito
government for daring to insist on national in
dependence-the country, besides suffering seri-
Gus food shortages and lack of raw materials
essential to its industries has been subjected by
the Soviet Union and the Cominform satellites
to relentless and constantly increasing pressures
aimed at subverting it and dragging it once
again behind the Iron Curtain These pressures
violent day-and-night propaganda, innumer-
able border provocations, mounting threats and
all-out economic warfare-have failed thus far
to accomplish their purpose
The biggest single reason why Tito has held
firm Is the fact that he has at his command
tough army Of 30-odd divisions whose loyalty and
reliability seem solid. But this army though
formidable one in many respects, is not in the
shape 1t should be in to cope with the grave
threat implicit in the military preparations of
neighboring Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania.
The Yugoslav army, rugged as it is, lacks a
lot of things that it would sorely need in case
this threatening force-plus perhaps some Rus
sian divisions-should decide to strike. To pre-
pare against that grim possibility Tito is said to
be particularly anxious to acquire types of mill
tary equipment best suited to increase the defen-
sive frepower of his troops and enable them to
blunt the edge of any invasion, prevent blitz-
krieg and make protracted tenacious stand of
a sort that could deny decisive victory even to
numerically superior attackers.
Considering the Importance of Yugoslavia-
both as strategically located land and as the
center of a potentially far-reaching rebellion
within the Communist world-the most sympa-
thetic attention ought to be paid to Ttos request
country to maintain their independence, will
serve the best interests of the United States and
the West as whole. A quick glance at the politi-
cal and military map of Europe is all that is
needed to demonstrate that

be as foolish for a chess master to
dream of making even bare living by
exhibiting his skill in our chess clubs
as it would be for a painter to hope
warding off starvation by taking his
pictures around to our various museums.
Distances in the United States are too
great for such plans to succeed, and
travelling costs too high. That is why
we have, exactly two professional chess
masters: One who has chess business,
publishing a magazine and selling chess
books and equipment by mail, and
another who is supported by a few
wealthy patrons of the game-not the

States Chess Federation which unques-

steady decline and decay which has oc-

Let me assure Jane Stokes there are

Trunsit Company Racial Issue

There are many who hope that the
change in administration in the Capital
Transit Co. will be accompanied by a
change in employment policy In at least
one basic aspect. 1t may be recalled that
toward the middle of the last decade
there was considerable agitation, during
the Nations struggle to safeguard de-
mocracy abroad, to induce CTC to en-
ploy Negroes as car and bus operators.
The company refused.
Let us believe that the attitudes of the
company's executives now have caught
up with the tendency Of the times. Let
us expect "fair deal" in the company's
hiring practices.
