SEES NO GENERAL RULES FOR SELF-CRITICISM -- Zagreb, Borba, 30 Mar 52
In a recent speech, Milovan Djilas pointed out that it is impossible to
furnish general rules regarding self-criticism in Yugo- avia, because of the
varying factors in Yugoslav society, and because Yugoslav society is changing
constantly. The shortcomings of Yugoslav self-criticism are, therefore, due
to a lack of understanding of these varying factors, and of the nonstatic
quality of Yugoslav society.
Djilas continued: There is a need to distinguish between bureaucracy
and administration being top-heavy in the socialist economy and many areas of
the arts and sciences, and their being reactionary. Both bureaucracy and
administration are necessary in certain areas where they assure the develop-
ment of socialism. They should only be criticized for inefficiency and lack
of vigilance.
In criticizing bourgeois reactionary tendencies, he stated, it must be
kept in mind that the sources of all reactionary occurrences emanate from the
small bourgeois groups, and that the struggle against these occurrences cannot
be waged as a campaign or through administrative methods. He explained, however,
that it is necessary to distinguish between those who support reaction con-
sciously and those who do so from ignorance.
D ilas pointed out that real self-criticism is oljective and not sub-
jective; subjective self-criticism often clouds the issue.

EXPEL ALESSANDAR ZIZA FROM PEOPLE'S FRONT -- Zagreb, Borba, 10 Mar 52
Novi Sad, 9 March -- About 1,000 members attended the general meeting of
the First Basic Front Organization in Novi Sad, at which Dr Aleksandar Ziza,
a lawyer, was expelled for opposing the People's Front program over a period
of years.
Before the war, he was an active member of the Independent Democratic
Party (Samostalna Demokrataka Stranka), but he joined the People's Front after
the war only for purposes of self-aggrandizement. During the first postwar
years, he spread rumors concerning Yugoslavia's inability to :arty out its
economic plans. Before the Cominform break, he always made Judgments in favor
of the USSR. After the Cominform break, he always maintained the Soviets were
right. Very often he represented his clients in illegal claims, to the detri-
ment of enforcing economic measures.
He illegally organized a group of 40 wealthy farmers in Backs Topola, to
opposed the payment of taxes.
SENTENCE WRITER FOR FALSEHOOD -- Split, Slobodna Dalmacija, 26 Dec 51
The 29 August 1951 issue of Slobodna Dalmacija carried an aritcle entitled
"Inequitable Situation for Young Workers" yy I. Glavicic from Makarska, which
contained inaccurate, undocumented, and untrue information regarding the ad-
ministration of the "Biokovo" Hotel Enterprise of Makarska and its director,
Adolf Cajt.
The srez court in Makarska ruled that the author committed a criminal act
in publishing these falsehoods, and recently sentenced him to a month's imprison.
ment. The sentence was suspended and the defendant put on probation for a year,
on condition that he does not commit the same or a more serious offense during
that time.
RAILROAD CARS, WAREHOUSES DAMAGED -- Leipzig, Leipziger Volkszeitung, 16 Oct 51
Thousands of Yugoslav workers daily fail to report for work; of 11,000
workers pressed into service in the Trepea mines, 10,000 escaped.
Sabotage of the transportation system is increasing. In July, an ore ship-
ment failed to reach its destination because 260 to 300 railroad care were dam-
aged. Workers at the Ljubljana railroad station burned warehouses containing
railroad equipment, and an army depot was burned down at the Doboj rail terminal.
