Soviet Yugoslav breach is authentic and will graw wider rather

at this time take "overt direct action" against Tito, disavow
the Cominform action, or make a face-saving offer.. US Em-
bassy Belgrade believes that a compromise can now be reached
only through the personal intervention of Stalin.

military governors would semm,- no useful ^ 1rpose.
