In Tito Boycott
BELGRADE, March 31, —(U.PJ—
Russia and its cominform satellites
have quietly Withdraw their am-
bassadors and .ministers from Yu-
goslavia in a daplomatic boycott of
their Communist former ally.
,The boycott came to light today
V/hen a poll or the Soviet, Bul-
garian, Romanian, Czech and Po-
' lish embassies and the Hungarian
' and Albanian legations " disclosed
that all heads of missions left Bel-
grade from three weeks to three
, months ago.. ,
All the countries participated last
year In the expulsion of Yugoslav-
ia from the cominform and the
denunciation of Marshal Tito’s
government as Trotskyist,
Other development,s in Yugosla-
* Via's worsening relations with its
Communist neighbors included
these:

, 1.—An announcement that the

broadened to include Bulgarians,
Albanians and dissiden tYugoslavs
as part of a "united Macedonia”
movement. ,
2. —A caustic editorial attack in
Borba. the Yuginslav Communist
. party newspaper, on what it call-
ed Russia’s attempt to utilise cap-
italist niethds to make its allies
economically dependent on the
Soviet Union.
3, —Yugoslavia’s announcement
of the suspension of a 1946 agree-
ment with Bulgaria because of “re-
peated, brutal attacks” by Bulgar-
ian frontier guards on Yugoslav |
militiamen escorting trains across i
the border,
,4.^-DLsclosure that a '‘delegation”
of Albanian refugees had been re-
ceived recently by the minister of
interior for Serbia.
5.—A report in informed quarters
in Belgrade said that Kochi Xoxe,
No. 2 Communist in Albania until
his purge by Premier Gen, Enver
Hoxha, is not in a Tirana prison
^as implied by the Albanian radio,
but is free—possibly in Yugoslavia.
Inquiries as to when the ambas-
sadors or ministers of the comin-
form countries would return to Yu-
gaslavia drew the same "I don’t
know” answers from functionaries.
Spokesmen at the Soviet embassy
refused to say anything.
BELGRADE, March 31 (UP)
—The government today or-
dered the registration with the
militia of all foreigners in
Yugoslavia.
.By order of the regime of
Marshal Tito, eahe foreigner
in Yugoslavia today received
travel documents which must
be used for travel inside the
country or when leaving it.
i The move appeared to be a
precaution against the infiltra-
tion from neighboring eomm-
form countries of anti-Tito ele-
ments.
