SURELY, MOST. certainly we, an enlightened citizenry, don't-have to stand for such chaos. Not every night. Couldn't we leave our automobiles home? Or, go back to a version of the old share-the-car plan? That could conceivably cut the num-

After hours of poring over her recipe books, Senora Barbachano sent a parade of Indian waitresses in white satin dresses with red embroidery into the dining room bearing caviar, anchovies, jalapenan peppers and relishes in bewildering variety. . They brought fruits sliced raw and stewed into compotes.

Came then the cheeses and the watermelons, the berries, and the little sweet things that looked’ like tomatoes, tasted like ice cream, and spurted purple juice.

Under Tito’s Fist

“BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Nov. 22 Come along To draw water for his shave Mitrovech must
with me (and my interpreter) and visit a young man of Titoland—one of thousands the leader banks on for personal support—and to push his own brand of Russian-free communism, On the-outskirts of this-eapital we wade.a mud swamp to reach a former stable—now a one-story block of rooms. We are greeted by 19-year-old Mitrovech Negoslav. His thick hair is as black as his boots into which are tucked his peasant'’s breeches of rough wool. You ean tell he is a peasant just by looking at him. He stands five feet eight—as erect as a lamp post-—and has the fleshless chin and huge’ hands of countless generations of wooden-plaw pushers. The tiny one-room “apartment” which he shares. with another lad—merely allows for two army-typé cots, a table, a trunk, a stove ,. . . parely room for us to crowd in. It has one meekly blinking electric bulb. Bits of brown wrapping paper patch breaks in the window. It is not yet, we are told, “the time of the stove,” and the room is as cold as an outdoor railroad station in January.
Isolated From World
HE SAYS: “I come from a small farm in Linevo, a town of 300 people in Serbia, near Pirot. My father has joined the collective, How long has my family been there? From all the time, Oh!— ft’ is isolated from the world. Before 1 came to Belgrade 1 never , , . why, 1 never saw a moving picture show.” > “Will you go back?” I ask as our cigaret smoke curls up towards the huge framed picture of the leader. =~ *Back?” He laughs with lots of teeth. “Yes «for vikits, I shall stay here, Before the war a boy like me would never have a ¢hance for free leirning—and what could we afford? Now-—Dbe-sides working in a brickyard—I am given mechanical training.” Yes Mitrovech has ‘come to stay. And that is Marshal Tite's plan, To bring them down from the hills—the strong young men of this country. To give them an opportunity, yes. To make them special characters in this positive police state. But also to pump them —pump them night and day--with the Communist creed . . , and worship of the leader.

cross the mud swamp to a pump. Weekly he visits a public bath. But wait—before you say: “This is Tobacco Row.” You should see the neglected Balkan villages . the kind of place Mitrovech comes from. From those Kind of places .-. a8 Marshal Tito well Xnows—you can't go down, you can only go up. ’ Mitrovech earns 5000 dinars a month. ‘But in this land of supreme shortages there is nothing to
buy. So he saves 2000—after sending 1000 home. ss
Here's another weird tale of capitalist-hating communism. . Mitrovech deposits his 2000 dinars in a bank run by the syndicate he works for-—and he receives 5 per cent interest. That's more than he could get from the Chase National Bank. He's saving for a rmall radio. That will cost him 11.000 dinars—two months pay plus 1000. To
