BELGRADE. July 25~—(AP)— Youth organizations of Comin- form countries have been advised to sever all relations with the youth organization of Yugoslavia and to disband the Balkan Youth Council, Yugoslav Communists were told Saturday. night.

The announcement of this ao- tion came in a report by a dele- gate the fifth congress of the Yugoslav communist Party repre- senting the strongiy organized Yugoslav youth. '

Tihe delegate said the "sanc- tions" against Yugoslav youth were caused by the Cominform accusations against Marshal Tito and his leaders. He said the Com- lnform wished to break up the Balkan Youth Council on tho grounds that it. would "be used to provoke disorganization in the ranks of their youth." ‘

Young people of the Conninform countries have been told not to come to Yugoslavia to Join work- ing brigades and Yugoslav youth will be refused entrance to Com- inform countries, the delegate said.

The Congress today condemned Pravda, newspaper of the Rus- sian Communist Party, for "slan- derous reporting" of the Congress meeting. '

Taniug news agency said that the coniress was indignant over Pravda? news reports, which Mos- cow radio broadcast this morning.

The congress. making a new demonstration of loyalty to Tito. by p. rising vote "condemned the monstrous slanders again-st the Yugoslav Community Party."

Delegates to the congress were

brought to their feet in a storm of applause when Veljko Mlchu- novic pointed out that the com- inform charges against Yugoslav Comm lets were identical to those ade by ‘notzky in 1028 when he was leading the opposit- ion to Stalin within the Russian Bolshevlk party. I He reminded the dehgates that Trotsky, during the "new econ- omic period." accused the Bolsh- eviks of being a “kulak" party catering to the peasants. These were among the charges made by the Cominform Hgainst Tito and his party.

Finances Influenced Vote In Newfoundland

By DAVE MacINTOSH

ST. JOHTTBMNIISL, July 25 — (OP) — If Newfoundland marries Canada, she ‘will "be marrying largely for money. This is n gen- erallzation, of course, for many who voted for confederation Thurs- day were voting against Respon- sible government as mruch as they were for union with Canada.

But, by and large, confcderates figured they would be able to make out better with the Canadian dollar than they could on their own hook.

Newfoundland depends for her economic existence on being able to sell a few staple products, fish and lumber are the main ones, in the world market. She must im- port nearly everything for every- day needs.

If world conditions become de- pressed, Newfoundland by herself would be left high’and dry.

The big drawing cards in the confederate campaign were the family allowance and old age pen-

_ sions. The first provincial gove-

ernment, if Canada takes New- foundland into confederation, will

. probably be known as the "baby-

bonus" government.

There was a general reeling of relief here tonight and that truce had finally come in the two-year-

old concentrated . fight between confederates and anti-confeder- ates.

There was also a germ-g] fgg]- ing, even among the herd core of responsible government support- ers, that Canada would take New- foundland into partnership in the Dominion. Everywhere one heard the expression "it's over-we're m"

Truman Says New Successful Tests Held

(By The Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. July 25—Presl- dent Truman said he has ordered every effort to keep the United States’ "leading position“ in the atomic field.

He also announced Saturday that recent tests on Eniwetok Atoll in the Pacino “ddemonst-rat- ed beyond any question that our position in the field of atomic weapons has been substantially improved." .

At the same time, Truman said that he ind not given up hope of eventual, workable, international control, under which military use of the A-bomb could be prevent- ed.

Russia, he said, is the stumb- ling block to progress toward such control.

And pending world control, "we, cannot as a nation afford to dis- close the secrets which make this new force the most. deadly form of military weapon."

The President's remarks were contained in a. statement in con- nection with the fourth semi-

annual report of the atomic en- ergy commission to Congress which:

1. Declared that the recent Dril- wetok tests of three atomic weap- ons of new and improved design "confirms the fact that the posi- tion of the United States ln the field, of atomic weapons has been substantially improved."

2. Disclosed that the Eniwetok tests involved “nuclear explosions" -—p.csuma.bly bombs-thus indir- ectly dlscreditlng speculation that the tests involved non-explosive weapons. '

3. Said industrial power from the atom may be e. decade or more away.

4. Described some already-es- tablished benefits and potential benefits from "lsotopefl-radio- active or stable by-products of A-bomb development that are used for "tracer" research in many fields and some even for the direct treatment of certain dis- eases.

For six weeks there has been an endless supply of wordy ammun- ition. Whlle voters themselves pre- pare to take tlhe spotlight next Wednesday to choose 92 legislators from 312 candidates. the biting. vitriolic repartee, bordering an out-and-out name-callin is on the increase. "

Premier ‘Maurice Duplessis. pro- claiming provincial autonomy the watchvvord of his Union Nationale Party which has governed Quebec these lset four years, declared‘ openly he would "never let the Federal authorities crucify Quebec -not even on a golden cross."

Liberal leader Adclard Godbout promptly retorted that the Prom- ier‘s eepousal of provincial auton- omy is nothing more than a per- sonal deslre to perpetuate an al- ready-existing dictatorship.

When Mayor Camillien I-loude of Montreal appeared on a public platform with the Prmier, Mr. Godbout labelled the occurrence a "marriage of convenience" between Mr. Duplessis and one whom the Premier once despised.
