End Os Cominform Praised By Pravda Seen Step Toward A United Front MOSCOW (INS) — The Communist party newspaper Pravda today hailed the dissolution of the Cominform as a step toward a “united front” with socialiaC'parties of Europe. The end of the eight-year-old Communist information bureau was announced Tuesday by first deputy premier Anastas Mikoyan. The Comlnfprm had been set up at a secret meeting In Poland on Oct. 6, 1947, to coordinate activities of nine Communist parties in Europe. • '“i:'" An editorial In Pravda indicated strongly the dissolution decision was taken to give individual Communist parties greater freedom of movement in trying to establish ties with socialists. Pravda noted the dissolution did not mean a weakening of ties between Communist parties, but said there would continue to be “closer -fraternal ties” and exchange of views between the former members of the international. Announcement of dissolution of the Cominform came as a surprise to the West. However, observers noted that the dissolution probably meant little in the actual close ties between Soviet governments and parties in non-red lands.
