The odds grew even worse this week against the survival of a man who is probably the worst life insurance risk in the world. The bad risk is 57-year-old Josip Broz, alias Marshal Tito of Y! via.

He has been on the “Wanted: dead or alive” lists of a least seven major governments during his life, and of several small-fry regimes too. Vienna wanted Tito during World War I because he deserted from the Austro-Hungarian arm to the Russians in 1915, The White Russians wanted him thereafter because he fought with thé Red army from 1917 to 1920 or 1921. King "Alexander's government of Yugoslavia put a price on Tito’s head when he became a leading ‘underground Communist

The United States has never put a price on Tito’s head, but it has used some of its strongest language in addressing him. American dealings with Tito go

the early part of the war, the United States and Britain supported Gen. Mikhailovitch, who was the first Yugoslav guerrilla leader to emerge and to fight. against the Germans and Italians, who nad occupied the country. Later in the war, however, the Western allies switched their support to Tito. 5 A Tool of Moscow London ' and Washington did this with misgivings. It was clear that Tito was a Communist and 8 tool of Moscow. The United States and Britain supported him in spite of this, however, because Tito fought more vigorously than did Gen. Mikhailovitch. Tito rewarded the Western Powers later by attacking them in every way he could. He denounced them as capitalist, imperialist war mongers. He threatened to seize Trieste, jointly occupled by the United States and Britain.

In the summer of 1046, his fighter planes forced down one American

five American lives. Washington denounced Tito in some of the

international relations, Two years later, however, came the break between Tito and Moscow, and Tito and Washington changed their “attitudes toward Nuisance to Soviets ( Oficial Washington has no illusions about Tito. The administration considers him a ruthless, tyrannical Communist, It also
