WASHINGTON, July 20 The final defense of MihaUovitch, the hero of the Chetniks. was little reported In this country. Ameri can popular Interest in him wan ed when he was reported to have "admitted acts of collaboration' with the enemy during the war. Of such a character is our acute sense of Justice. But in this case it has been successfully abused and misled. MihaUovitch spoke for four hours from notes he had mad for 30 days, end ing his speech at midnight, with this final ac counting from an anti-naxi re sistance, soldier: "I had against me a competi tive organization the communist party which seieks its aims without compromise. I raal was faced w t h changes In my own government and accuser! of connections with every poasihle secret service, en emy and allied. I believed I was on tha rl:ht road and called on any foreign Journalist or red army mission to visit me Snd see every thing. But fate was merciless to me when ft threw me Into this maelstrom (between the western democracies and Russia). I want ed much. I started much, but the gale1 of the world carried me away from my work." Tariarea Farced Can few ions This is a Serbian soldier of re sistance, far from the early time when he and the British alone were resisting the nails but Rus sia was not. speakinc after clever communist torture In a mockery of trials which could find a coun terpart only; In the Moscow trea son trials for Russian propaganda purposes. The methods of torture which broke his mind, have been frequently 'described In books available at our librariei'V (Ian ValUn's 'Out of the Night") . Thus was the Slavic temperament and mind led to confess anything his captors wished for their purposes of propaganda in strengthening the disliked Tito government in Yugoslavia and. for effect upon people throughout the Balkans. (Our own house foreign affairs sub-committee says Tito was edu cated in Russia, was a soldier of the red army and rules Yugoslav ia for tha communists by machine guns, although he has the volun tary support of only 15 to 19 per rent of his cities and "from 5 per cent down; to zero per cent" of villagers and farmers.) Before the "trial" of the Chet nik commander-in-chief on our side up to December 1845 his com munist party adversary Tito went to Moscow. With him he took his military leaders and the head of his secret police the Ozana. A full military agreement was reached (Tito can contribute 800.000 in tne army to any Rus sian cause) and: a propaganda agreement for MihaUovitch. Cefsrt Opssesl Tile's Officers This Is the same Tito govern ment which later Informed our state department tha crimes of MihaUovitch, before tha trial, had been judged to be "too great and terrible for any discussion," or for American testimony. It's for eign minister had announced be fore the trie! (May 11): " MihaUo vitch will be shot." The Russians took no chances on it. The three members of the "court" were officers from the Ti to army, and members of the com munist party. The spectators hiss ed and booed statements, such as the truthful assertion of a defense attorney that the law under which the men were being tried was made up by the communist gov ernment after the supposed "crimes" were committed. The verdict of death for MihaUovitch was cheered. Criticises Brings Expalsion The whole situation in the communist-ridden Balkans has been asserted by a Christian Science Monitor correspondent who was expelled, -Reuben Markham. be ing accused 'privately by the Rus sians with collaboration against them because of his reports. He said: "The worst that any tryant ever did in the way of violence, ter ror, suppression or freedom' is be ing matched by the communist dominated f governments of Bul garia and Rumania. Russian-imposed dictatorial methods include concentration camps and legal massacre of opponents. The courts are a travesty of justice and peo ple are killed by the thousands. . . '. An extremely unpopular re gime is determined thus to compel an unwilling nation to vote for it." This is the condition of all the, Balkans, Rumania and Bul garia now being involved lnpeace treaties which the twenty-one na tions are to raUfy and thus pledge world approval, and perpetual help' through UNO to enforce by arms. "Trial Came When Captared MihaUovitch was nof'tried" in Belgrade. TheCP tried him when it captured him in March, and staged the Belgrade show to scare the ; people: and strengthen the CP regime, as It did in Moscow be fore the war. What was tried in Belgrade was Russia and communism. In evi dence, with her methods and tech niques, her foolish attempt to ape Anglo-Saxon justice with a staged "trial," her inferiority complex taking refuge in barbarian is ra. in which it framed the whole bench and broke the mind of a 39 year old Serbian general to create an Anglo-Saxon excuse for a Russian propaganda death. When the Spaniards landed in Paraguay in 1503, it is said that natives came forth to oppose them by throwing water and blowing strong tobacco smoke in their eyes. n HaSM GRIN AND BEAR r?w VMtf few - "Don't werry, Margie he tells a girl he levee her right after aa latredectlen he's coly dewa-here far a few days!"

In "Homeland" it's a Swiss; in "Grandfather Objects," an American. White the American's parents go to England, he is left with his grandfather on a farm. Other characters are an Interfering grandmother on the other side of the family, a woman with a south ern accent, an artist in water col or, a chauffeur with a jail record. Incidents include a blrhlday par ty where the children spoil their pretty clothes, a runaway horse, a still operated under the sheriff's nose, rivalry about melon patches, a manure pile of which horse and cow contents have to be separated, and a toilet seat spread liberally with glue. The grandfather hav ing a broken leg. is of course a funny as a crutch. The hero of "Homeland" is Ar thur Gardoz, son of a big family. The father, a watchmaker, moves wife and children from village to village as he changes jobs. Arthur has some fights snd. as befits the hern, wins them. He religiously does what he is told not to. Fath er has a weakness for wine and women and indulges them, and is regularly foifglven by his wife, who thinks they prove he's a big, lovable boy. However, there are a few rather touching pages, particularly those describing the death of a brother and a sister. You sorrow, too, with the mother for the eldest son and daughter, who go off to America, a land she finds forbidding, an alien land that constantly tempts her husband and children away from the homeland. And there are good bits about Radiquet. the re formed smuggler whose wife loses her love for him when he stops beating her; and about the old artillery horse that joins the pa rade. On the whole, however, these novels fall Into the class of "light summer reading," which is one notch below doctor's-waiting-room fiction. On the jacket covers, the optimistic publisher hails them both aa "hilarious," but per haps he meant two other books. 7HM AATONAL Ci-UB W A EhrrFZAAJTY... - J i r IVSTV.
