Since June, Josip Broz Tito's third wife, Jovanka, has been missing from the aging (85) President's side. Ill health? Marital problems? Last week party officials were whispering to Western journalists in Belgrade that Jovanka was, in fact, in big political trouble. Unbeknownst to Tito, Jovanka had allegedly overstepped her position by lobbying for the promotion of Serbian officers who were close friends from her home district of Lika. That kind of politicking is unsettling in Yugoslavia, where traditional friction between Serbs and Croats may pose a danger to national unity when Tito dies...
...Mondale flew on to Belgrade to pay a call on Yugoslav Communist Leader Josip Broz Tito, Washington's U.N. Ambassador Andrew Young was preparing to go from the Mozambican capital of Maputo to South Africa. In Mozambique, where he attended a 92-nation U.N. conference on Rhodesia and Namibia, Young had held private talks with Mozambican President Samora Machel and other African leaders.

Yugoslavia's President Josip Broz Tito, 84, the last surviving founder of the nonaligned group, soon began to feel dismay at the course the conference was taking. Could they not, he asked the delegates, avoid ideological rhetoric and argue out bilateral disagreements at "another place and at some other time?" Evidently not. The summit meeting made it abundantly clear that many of the supposedly nonaligned are anything but neutral. Indeed, the conference served as a forum for a wide range of attacks against alleged Western "imperialism...
...achieve his original aims, Brezhnev deftly shifted emphasis to a display of Soviet reasonableness. He assured his listeners that the U.S.S.R. had no wish to reinstitute a Communist "organizational center" or Cominform-which would be impossible in any case. This was apparently a conciliatory gesture to Yugoslav President Josip Broz Tito, 84, who participated in an international Communist conference for the first time since 1948, when the Kremlin-dominated Cominform expelled...
