In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS ONE day the Kremlin (seat of Russia's communist govern ment) sends a formal note to Yugoslavia in which it calls the Tito regime "an enemy and a foe of the Soviet Union." The next day the Moscow newspaper Pravda, which is a part of Rus sia's communist government, ac cuses Tito of conducting a "double dealing, traitorous policy." (What Pravda means Is that Tito is showing signs of refusing to burp whenever Moscow takes an alka-seltzer.) WE Americans instictively go all out for the little man and the underdog. In the communist set-up, Tito is both. We'd better keep a tight hold on our emo tions. If Tito were one of the Kremlin big shots, he'd be as bad a communist as any of them. The thing that interests us is that communist leaders are be ginning to fight each other for power. Tito wants more power.
