Russia Claimed Seeking Tito's Support For Strong Penetration of Middle East Editor's aota: Western diplomat be hind the Iron Curtain have attempted to fathom the mystery of Marshal Tito's sudden trip to Yalta. Diplomats Ir reports on the Tito mission have w rearhed London, and are de scribed In the following: dispatch. Br KAROL C. THALER United Pre! Correspondent London fU.R) Latest dip lomatic dispatches from Com munist East Europe said today that Russia is attempting to win the support of Yugoslav Presi dent Tito for its strong penetra tion of the Middle East. The Kremlin needs Tito's sup port because Yugoslavia provides the Communist bloc's only direct outlet on the Mediterranean Sea, the reports said. Albania also lies on the sea but its position is bad strategically. According to the latest apprais al, Russia has decided to hold and enlarge its foothold in the Middle East and has opened a new "cold front" in the area. But that foothold is still weak and precarious depending to a great extent on Egypt's contin ued cooperation with the Soviet Union. Tito Considered Key This is where Tito is consid ered the key to Russia's entry into the Middle East, diplomatic sources said, since Russia would like to move through Yugoslav ia. Russia, apparently impatient and in a hurry, was reported anx- VA COUPONS Save the valuable coupons on every can of double rich SEGO milk for wonderful gifts!

Diplomatic sources said Tito also plays a key role in Russia's efforts to tie the other satellites of East Europe into a tight little package and that Tito's cooper ation may prove decisive for the success or failure of Moscow's policy plans. The Red Army has reportedly insisted on a belt of friendly reliable and not merely neutral nations between the Soviet and West Europe as a so-called "gla cis" (clear field) for any military eventuality. Calls for Curbs But this can be safeguarded, in the Kremlin's view and notably in the view of the re emerging Stalin-type "elder statesmen." including former Foreign Minister Vyacheslav M. Molotov by firming up the ideological ties with the satel lites. This would mean curbing the trend toward so-called national ist Communism of the Tito type. Pravda, the official Communist party organ, has already utter ed a formal warning against falling for "this claptrap about national Communism." Tito was reported to be firm in his insistence on his own brand of Communism, free of Kremlin domination. And Rus sia appeared to try to reconcile her policy of tightening the tie with the satellites with conces sions to Tito, rather than by re voking these concessions. Thus the process of persuasion now seemingly in progress in the Crimea may yet produce some surprising results, accord ing to the latest authoritative appraisal. Italian Coed Takes $16,000 TV Winnings New York (U.R) A pretty Italian coed said today she will use her $16,000 earnings from an American television Quiz show to further her education. Giovanna Ferrara. 23. a stu dent at the University of Pavia in Italy said she ignored her mother's advice to try for the top prize on the program, "The 564,000 Question," because she did not like to "overdo things." Miss Ferrara, who specialized in American history, had special counsel from her mother, Anna, 52, who was flown here especial ly for Tuesday night's program. Mrs. Ferrara said on her ar rival that "If I were 23 years old like Giovanna I would go on and try to double my $16,- 000." But after talking it. over with her mother, Miss Ferrara de cided to take what she had won last week. One of the first to recognize the potentialities of aluminum was Napoleon III. Visualizing it as lightweight equipment for his soldiers, the French emperor subsidized scientist Henri Sainte Claire Deville in his efforts to find a low-cost method of production.

(U.RX Vice President Richard M. Nixon said today Adlai E. Stevenson will have a hard time convincing the American people that the Dem ocrats are working toward equal opportunity for all races. Nixon said Stevenson would have to get a position different from the Southern members of his party. Democrats Said Divided Nixon told a news conference at Newark during his swing through New Jersey that the Democrats are "one-half op posed" to their presidential nom inees' civil rights program and one-half for it." By contrast, he said, "a great majority of Republicans . are united behind President Eisen hower's civil rights program." Nixon, beginning the final day of his gruelling 16-day, 32-state campaign tour, addressed a cheering crowd of nearly 1.000 Union county campaign workers at a downtown hotel here after his press conference. Respect for Soldiers Replying to Stevenson's charges that the Republican ad ministration is trying to take credit for the peace in Korea away from the soldiers who fought for it, Nixon said: "I don't think anyone in pub lic service has more respect for the soldiers and their role in war than Mr. Eisenhowr." He charged former President Truman "didn't allow the sol diers to win the peace." Mr. Eisenhower and the State De partment had to do it, he said.
