(API Soviet Russia scrapped her friendship treaty of 1945 with Yugoslavia today, declaring that Premier Marshal Tito's regime has lined up with "foreign im perialist circles." Russia declared the Budapest treason trial of former Hun garian Foreign Minister Rajk, sentenced to death Saturday, disclosed Yugoslavia had been carrying on hostile activity against the Soviet Union. Rajk was accused specifically of plotting with Yugoslavia and American agents to overthrow the Moscow backed Com munist government in Hungary. Marshal Tito denounced the trial as a Russian propaganda move aimed at weakening his Yugoslav regime. The Russian action was the sharpest diplomatic slap at Yugoslavia since the Moscow-led Cominform expelled the Yugoslavs in June, 1948. Since that time Russia and her eastern European satellites have clamped an economic boycott on Yugoslavia. Sober Rattling Charged Marshal Tito on Tuesday accused Russia of rattling the saber and digging trenches in the satellite countries along the Yugo slav border in an attempt to intimidate his country. There was immediate speculation here that other Communist nations may follow Russia's lead and sever formal ties with the Yugoslavs. Yugoslavia has friendship end mutual aid treaties with Al bania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland and Romania. As a result of the Budapest trial, Hungary expelled 10 Hungarian diplomats from Budapest and Tito retaliated by expelling nine Yugoslav legation attaches from Belgrade. .0, V I of Wade N. Wooldridge.
