Balkan Defense Alliance Probable
Athens. (U.P.)—The idea of a Yugoslav-Greek-Turkish defense alliance, first broached after Tito's break with the Cominform in 1948, has moved from the realm of possibility to probability.
Such an alliance would be a major step toward Yugoslavia's entry into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
With Yugoslavia in NATO, the West would have an unbroken chain of states allied against Russian aggression stretching from the Arctic to the Aegean.
Chances for such developments improved with:
1) Increased American and British pressure on both Athens and Belgrade for a military understanding.
2) Yugoslav intimation that Tito might soon send a military attache to Athens.
3) Persistently circulated reports of an impending meeting between Greece's premier, Gen. Nicholas Plastiras, and Tito.
The arrival of Sir Charles Peake, new British ambassador to Greece, emphasized Britain's understanding of the mutual problems affecting both Greece and Yugoslavia.
Sir Charles served the previous six years as ambassador to Belgrade and was regarded as one of the prime movers in Tito's break with the Cominform.

Although they have refrained from public statements, Yugoslav representatives in Greece recently have given informed quarters to understand that Tito was seriously considering sending a Yugoslav military attacke to Athens.

When normal diplomatic relations between Greece and Yugoslavia were renewed last year, the agreement called for both nations to exch-
change military attaches.

Greece took advantage of the arrangement and soon sent a military representative to Belgrade. A similar reception had yet to arrive in Athens.
Meanwhile Tito has also reconsidered his military views about Greece. When the Yugoslav minister had his first press conference in Athens last year, he said Yugoslavia would expect help from Greece in event of an attack by Cominform states. He refused to comment on whether Greece could expect the same aid from Yugoslavia.
London—(U.P.)—The Polish and Czechoslovak Communist regimes are preparing a series of political trials comparable in importance to the notorious Moscow trials and purges in the late thirties, informed sources said here.
A former prime minister, two deputy premiers, a marshal of Poland, several generals and ministers and other prominent Polish and Czech government and party officials, now under arrest under charges of espionage and antistate activities, are expected to appear at the trials.
Recently, Tito said he would assist Greece if she were attacked.
Poles And Czechs Schedule Significant Political Purge
According to unofficial reports from Warsaw, Edward Osubka-Morawski, prime minister of Poland from 1945 to 1947, and Michael Rola-Zymierski, marshal of Poland and commander-in-chief of the Polish Army until November 1949, have been arrested and are expected to be tried shortly.
In Czechoslovakia, the recent official announcement of the arrest of Rudolf Slansky, vice premier and until three months ago, secretary general of the Czechoslovak Communist Party, added another name to the long list of Czechoslovak party and government bosses arrested in February this year and late last year.
Warsaw officially announced the arrest and impending trial of Wladyslaw Gomulka, former deputy premier and secretary general of the Polish Communist Party from 1944 to 1948, and Gen. Marian Spychalski, a former deputy minister of national defense.

The most prominent among them were Dr. Vladimir Clementis, minister of foreign affairs; Maria Svermova, assistant secretary general of the party; Josef Smrkovskoy, minister of agriculture, Otto Sling, party secretary for the Brno region; Deputy Defense Minister Bedrich Reicin and Deputy Foreign Ministers Arthur London and Vavro Haidu.
The mounting wave of arrests in Moscow's two main satellite countries have caused widespread speculation as to their significance and any possible connection between them.
One theory, advanced by emigre Czech circles in Paris, said certain facts pointed to the existence of an "alliance" between Warsaw and Prague, aimed at creating a united anti-Moseow front of East European states backed by Yugoslavia and the West.
Observers here believed that while it was probable that the arrested leaders would be accused at the coming trials of having plotted the overthrow of the Polish and Czech Communist regimes with the help of Yugoslavia, the real reasons for the purges lay elsewhere.
They pointed out that since the expulsion of Yugoslavia from the Cominform in 1948, the eastern European "people's democracies" have been subjected to a growing political pressure from Moscow. Drastic economic demands connected with the satellites' rearmament have been added in the last 18 months.
