Tito Said Ready
For Another Fight
With Soviet Bosses
London (U.R) Marshal
Tito of Yugoslavia was reported
embarking upon a second ma
jor battle with Kremlin leaders
today. There were unconfirmed
reports of Soviet troop move
ments toward the Yugoslav bor
der. On the outcome of the politi
cal struggle may depend the fu
ture of Soviet Communist Party
Leader. Njkita.. S. ..Khrushchev
and his program of "de-Stalinizs-tion''
and Tito's future as a
Communist leader, diplomatic
observers reported.
Confident of Victory
Belgrade dispatches said Tito
was confident he could win such
a struggle for power. He won
once before when he dared to
defy Josef Stalin in 1948. Tito
was ousted from the Cominform,
the loose organization of Com
munist states, and only recently
regained Kremlin favor.
The new break with Moscow
began on Sunday, Nov. 11 when
Tito made a speech denouncing
Soviet Stalinists for their atti
tude towards Hungary. He told
the world that a sharp division
existed among the Russian lead
ers. Medford Men Slated

Opposition
By Mining
Grants Pass Mining interests
in southern Oregon voiced oppo
sition to a proposed withdrawal
of 23,358.67 acres of land along
Rogue river at a public hearing
which ended shortly after noon
here today.
The bureau of land manage
ment, and forest service have re
quested that a strip of land on
each side of Rogue river between
Prospect and Gold Beach - be
withdrawn for recreational uses.
Representatives of the mining
industry claimed that much of
the area along the river is
known to have high mineral
value, and that development of
minerals is essential to the eco
nomic growth of the area and is
essential to national defense.
They also claimed the withdraw
al was punitive to miners.
.Several Prospectors
Opposing withdrawal were
several prospectors, Sherman
Smith. Grants Pass attorney rep
resenting an Izaak Walton league
chapter; Fay I. Bristol, presi
dent of the Oregon Mining asso
ciation and a representative of
the American Mining council;
and Hollis N. Dole, director of
the state department of geologi
cal and mineral industries.
Those supporting the with
drawal claimed the need for
more recreational facilities an
nually with increased tourist
trade and shorter working hours.
