Wea., Aug. 31, 194 Soviet Hold On Satellite States Badly Shaken By Dispute With Tito By DEWITT MACKENZIE (AP Foreign Affairs Analyst) One of the hottest pieces of current news out of Europe Is the report reaching Washington that Stalin's hold on the red satellite states has been badly shaken by Moscow's row with Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia. John M. Hightower, AP diplo matic expert in Washington, says this Information Is contained In highly responsible reports from eastern Europe. These reports re expected to play an impor tant part in ine lonncoming Minister Schuman. , "Western diplomats," says Hightower, "foresee in -these meetings a three-power review of the Brand strategy of the cold meetings In the American Capi-war with Russia, followed by a tal among Secretary of State I determined effort to devise new Acheson, British Foreign Secre- moves against the Kremlin." tarv Bevin and French Foreign!

UP) The British press gave out Tuesday with a heartfelt chorus of 'Thank you, Mr. President. The Philadelphia speech by President Truman aroused much gratitude as though it had been a personal pat on the back lor every Briton. Mr. Truman's avowal of con tinued sympathy and friendship for tne British people was tne day a top news story. It was hailed on all sides as a good omen for the dollar crisis talks starting In. Washington Sept. 7. In labor partv circles there were audible sighs of re lief. 'Truman says hands off other people s politics was the jubi lant headline in the Daily Her ald, the party mouthpiece. Mr, Truman told Legion dele gates the U. S. will help Great Britain solve her present finan cial crisis. The President said flatly that "a sound and expanding econ omy Is essential to world peace." He Insisted the U. S. will exam ine Britain's currency dilemma in a "spirit, of friendliness and helpfulness." "The democratic nations are not proposing to Interfere with one another's internal politics," Mr. Truman said. isn't surprising. This column nu merous times has pointed out that the trend in eastern Eu rope, and especially the Kremlin-Tito fight, might be expected to weaken Russia's hold on the satellites. Czechoslovakia, Po land and Hungary all have pow erful elements of opposition to Red rule. And Finland has refus ed to bow to Moscow. The Yugoslav dictator's defi ance, in refusing to surrender his country's sovereignty to Moscow, has placed Russia in the diffi cult position of having to make him eat crow and quickly un less she is to sustain a disas trous loss of face among the sat ellites. But how to get at the recalcitrant and Imperturbable Tito, who refuses, to budge from nts position 7 Of course mighty Russia could handle Yugoslavia by force han dily enough if there weren't out side interference. But there might be outside interference. ihere might be another worid war going full tilt overnight. Troop movements in neinhbor. ing Bulgaria and Romania have led to speculation that war mlEht be developing between them and Yugoslavia. That could be, but here again Moscow would be run ning a great risk in letting such a conflict develop, because it could grow into world conflict. Ihat leaves the Muscovites with the alternatives of trying to smash Tito economically, or of inspring a revolt against him among his own people. ine economic approach el- ready has been tried without the desired success. On orders from the Kremlin, neighboring satel lites cut Yugoslavia off from es sential supplies. The unexpected result was that Tito promptly turned to the West for aid and got it. Washington approved his purchase of equipment for a big steel mill, and the indications are lhat he also will get a large loan irom tne world Bank. So that seems to reduce the possibilities to the one of inspir ing within Yugoslavia a revolt which- might be assisted surrep titiously ana unoiitciaity oy neighboring Red satellites. Ob servers recognize that this may he what Russia now is maneu vering for. In any event there is no doubt that heavy pressure is being brought to arouse discon tent among the Yugoslavs with their government. Should anything untoward hap pen to Tito personally, Moscow's way likely would he greatly smoothed, since the Marshal dominates his country. And as observed In a previous column. he isn't a particularly good in surance risk. Don't get into this fix f t 7?acfe BEFORE Trouhe! 90 of all tire trouble occurs in the last 10 of tire life.

Many months ago this small model house was put up on a parking lot in midtown Manhat tan. It was raffled off in a fund raising campaign for Israel. The winner got another house and the model was used for another drive by the American Women's Vol untary Services. Alfred Birnbaum. a young Co lumbia University student of op tometry, was among those who paid 50 cents for a chance on the house, jronaoiy ne promptly ior got about it. Then one morning his wife was awakened at 2 a. m. to learn the happy news over the telephone: the $15,000 dream house was theirs. What could be more wonder ful? Just think of it, you pay 50 cents casually on a raffle ticket, go on about your business and wake up to find that tiny invest ment has brought you the little cottage you've been dreaming of. Ah, this America, wnai a coun try! But when the rosy glow of good fortune had dimmed a little, a few hard realities began to show through. The man who owned the park ing Jot where the dream hou stood wanted the cottage off his property as quickly as possible. Meantime he would charge the Blrnhaums $50 a day rental. They scouted around and dis covered it would cost $1,000 to dismantle the house, maybe an other $300 to cart it away and $4,500 to put It up again. They couldn't afford any of this ex pense and had no place to erect the house. Then Birnbaum learned that his $15,000 windfall would thrust him into an uncomfortably high income tax bracket. He had no wish to sample that rarefied at mosphere. After days of contemplating this catalog of woes, what he did wish was that he could get his 50 cents back and get the little yellow dream house out of his life forever. But even that was easier said than done. The place began to haunt him. He begged his broth er, a lawyer, to find a solution. Finally a savior turned up. He owned a lot. could pay disman tling, moving and erecting ex penses and was willing to give Birnbaum the remarkable sum of $1200 for his $15,000 catch. Talking About a Home?

Thousands will be needed in the hop and bean area centering around Salem, but nearby fami lies and others will furnish the bulk of the pickers. Not since be fore the war have so many work era been available for peak har vest needs, the State Employ ment Service says. The Salem office estimates at least 1.300 more outsiders will find Jobs in gathering snap bean hops, cucumbers, blackberries, pears, peaches, prunes, and pep permint during the next few weeks. Grants Pass needs 500 more and Oregon City about 50 family groups, while the Medford pear district is short 75 pickers. All prospective worker should bring their own equipment and supplies, the employment serv ice warns, although cabins are available in some sections. In quiry should be made at the near est of the 26 local offices before moving to a new farm area.

But on the other hand, nobody is going to order them to get the place out of town by the first of the month. And as he relaxes in that drab but secure setting, Birnbaum is probably, figuring that the next time somebody waves a raffle ticket In his face he'll make the 50 cents an outright gift. Although average speeds o f motor vehicles on main rural highways have been increasing steadily in the rest of the nation since the end of the war, Ore gon Jrivers have been Just as consistently slowing down. Secre tary of State Newbry reports. A national speed study made by the Bureau of Public Road's reveals that the country's motor vehicles traveled at an average of 47.7 miles per hour In 1943, compared with 45.2 in 1946. Dur ing the same period, Oregon ve hicles reduced tneir rate irom ; 50.1 to 6.8 miles per hour to fall below the national figure fori the first time, Newbry said. ! Oregon's passenger vehicles 1 were clocked at an average of 48.4 miles per hour. On the high way, 92 percent exceeded 35, 59 , percent exceeded 45, and 21 per-i cent topped the 55 mile per hour designated speed. "Although this decrease in av erage speeds may seem slight at first glance, it actually reveals a vast improvement in driving habits and is undoubtedly a pri mary factor behind the sharp decrease in Oregon's traffic death rate since 1946," Newbry seclared.
