World Peace Plans Receive Setback From Soviet Effort To Oust Tito In Yugoslavia ' By DEWITT MACKENZIE AP Foreign Affair Analyit World peace has received another jolt as the result of the Soviet Comlnform's call to Communists in all countries to Join in a wholesale effort to unseat rebellious Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia. The Cominforrn-successor to tiie Comintern, or general staff for world revolution hasn't disclosed details of its program. However, foreign diplomatic quarters in New York say they have received reports that an anti-Tito coup Is planned for sometime between Christmas and Easter. This scheme is said to call for a revolt in Yugoslavia. That would be followed up by a call from the leaders of the rebellion for help from orthodox Commu nists in neighboring Hungary and Romania. 'The crossing of Guerrilla troops from a foreign country into Yugoslavia obviously would create a terribly explosive sit uation. British minister of state Hec tor McNeil gave the cominforrn move a hot shot in the United Nations assembly yesterday the first time, by the way, the subject has been brought up In that body. He was discussing the recent soviet peace-speecnes and remarked that the cominforrn at tack was "most remarkable" for a peace campaign, adding: ."It Is more like a war mani festo than a peace manifesto." Be that as it may, Moscow's anxiety over Titoism is under standable. It is a great threat against Orthodox Communism, whick provides that all Red countries surrender their sover eignty to Moscow. Tito, pf course, while subscribing to Marxian Communism, is a red-hot nation alist who refuses to surrender Yugoslavia's sovereignty to any body. Tito Prefers Own Brand - The Cominforrn charges that the Yugoslav capital of Belgrade has become the nerve center of a country-revolutionary move ment against Red countries, as well as a center of American propaganda. In short Russia claims that Tito is trying to des troy the Soviet conception and substitute his new brand or na tionalist Communism in the sa tellite countries. Whether the two-fisted mar shal has any such sweeping pro ject in mind remains to be seen. He certainly, is bent on estab lishing his own brand of Com munism in his own country. And it is true that Tito Com munism is trying to raise its head in some of the satellite countri es, among them being Poland, Czechoslovakia and Hungary. Moscow has reason to worry. While the Cominforrn hasn't indicated how it expects to un horse Tito, there may be a hint in the report by the Moscow newspaper Pravda that there are substantial groups of anti-Titoist Yugoslavs in all countries of eastern Europe working for his overthrow. Pravda also says these groups, which are well ff. nanced, have -cells in evety vilt lage and institution in Yugosla via.

The num ber of Soviet troops in Albania isn't known, but informed sourc es make the guess that the total may be between 12,000 and 15, 000. Reports say the latest arri vals in Albania appear to include officers skilled in guerrilla war fare. So the Soviet bloc of eastern Europe is divided against itself in spots. Moscow is up against that old cry of self-determination among subject nations. It's just a further indication that the days of imperialism are numbered. Heaven forbid that another world war should grow out of this issue. Communist Party Asked Longshore Data, Testimony SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 5. UP) The Communist party wanted data on every member of the CIO Longshore union during the 1934 general strike here, a gov ernment witness in the Harry Bridges perjury trial said Fri day. The witness was heavy set, slightly-balding Henry Schrimpf, a former Australian Longshore men who fought through the strike with Bridges. Schrimpf testified that Norma Perry, a former secretary of Bridges, was to gather the names, addresses and affiliation of all Longshore union members. "This was her assignment," Schrimpf , declared. "This would be a great tool In the hands of of the Communist party because they could contact every Long shoreman on the beach when ever they wanted. To the Com munist party that was impor tant." Schrimpf was once described by Bridges as "a bitter enemy of mine." Bridges is charged with lying in denying he wasn't or hadn't been a Communist when he received his citizenship papers in 1945. J. R. Robertson and Henry Schmidt, two of his union aides, are charged with conspiracy. The witness told of a Commu nist party meeting at which Mrs. Perry was "disciplined." He said she had been accused of being "too friendly" with Scotty Fra ter, financial secretary of the Longshore union and with other persons "not friendly" to the Communist party. Government Prosecutor Wil liam Paisley asked: "Well, why wasn't she to be friendly with Scotty Frater?" Schrimpf took a deep breath, then answered very slowly: "Well, the Communist party lives on a program of hate. If God himself should descend on this earth and the Communists didn't agree whith him they'd tear him to pieces." This brought Defense Attorney James MaCinnis to his feet. His objection was sustained by Judge George B. Harris and Schrimpf's remark ordered stricken from the record. But it had reached the jury nevertheless. Envoy's Illness Snags U. S.

In the latest explosion Tues day night, a section of Canadian Pacific railway track was torn out 19 minutes after a freight train had passed the point.
