1. The UDB in Ljubljana is convinced that the principal lines of the
current infiltration of Cominform agents into Yugoslavia are via Trieste.
The tasks of uncovering the Trieste cells servicing the Cominfortnists
have been assigned to picked native Triestines (unidentified), who were
recently dispatched to Zone A by the UDB.
2. V1ado Bidovec, a trusted Vidali aide, allegedly plays a prominent role
in Trieste in this"Cominform operation".
3. The activists of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia in Ljubljana regard
the liquidation of Markos Vafiadees as an effective blow against the Tito
apostacy, and consider this more to be the opening gun in a concerted
spring Cominform offensive. The drive, they believe, is already under
way in many countries and will culminate with 'adeecisive action" against
Marshal Tito during the Easter holidays.
b. It is believed in Yugoslav Communist Party circles that Soviet experience
with "popular heroes", such as the Greek Markos and the Polish Gomulka,
will induce the Kremlin to adopt a system of "dual control"(sic) in all
Satellite countries. Thus, a deficient leader and cadre can be replaced
immediately.
To counteract the Cominform moves, the Tito regime will employ, among
others, such defense tactics as :
a. Forcing through an agrarian socialization program, thereby neutralizing
the Cominform accusation of failure to liquidate the kulaks;
b. An imminent change of identity cards. The cards will be withheld
from the politically unreliable, depriving them of basic necessities.
This move is also intended to serve as a barrier to Cominform in-
filtration from abroad.
