SINGLETON BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Aug. 22 (CP) —The hardboiled struggle between Yugoslavia and Russia appeared today to be reaching be- yond the name calling stage to a threat of war. Coming to the fore is the dyna- mite-laden question: what would Britain and the United States do if Joseph Stalin sent the Soviet army to overthrow Yugoslavias independent Communist, Marshal Tito. No one knows for sure-mutside the Kremlin-what is coming next. But the effort which began l4 months ap to unseat Tito when the Cominform read him out of the party developed long ago into frequent shootings along the satellite borders. The situation has the diplomatic tforps here wondering and worry- rig. As an example of the jitters one embassy thought it had a sound inside tip on an "invasion" date recently and hustled its staff off to Northern Yugoslavia. Other diplomatic missions are studying a flood of rumors-most of them from unresponsible sour- ces-about troop movements be- yond the Yugoslav borders. Such rumors are not unusual in the Balkans. But they are not set at rest by the threat voiced in a note from Moscow Saturday night to take “more effective measures" against Tito for protection of So- viet citizens who allegedly are being mistreated here. British View (British newspapers Monday said the Russian note sounded like the worst threat oi war since I939. (British officials in London said they believed the Russian threat was only part of a war of nerves, however. and ruled out the like- lihood of a shooting war. (The Conservative Daily Tele- graph said the threat was “the very language ofHitler's exhaust- ed patience". The Conservative Daily Mail also recalled Hitler's words. “My patience is exhausted. I must march to restore order" and commented that the Russian threats "fall upon our ears like l sinister echo across a decade.” (In Bucharest.
