...many of whom seek independence from Belgrade. Animosity has run high since Yugoslav troops crushed ethnic Albanian riots in 1981. The Serbs complain of rising Albanian persecution in the form of rapes, murders and cattle blindings. Hostility mounted last month when Serbian newspapers quoted former Yugoslav Vice President Fadilj Hodza, a top-ranking ethnic Albanian Communist, as sardonically telling army-reserve officers that Serbian women should move to Kosovo to serve as prostitutes. After a wave of protests by outraged Serbs, Belgrade stripped Hodza of his party membership and embarked on a new federal aid program for Kosovo...

Finally, it was smart for the Hodza Cabinet to resign as soon as it had "yielded unconditionally," thus clearing the way for a fresh Czecho-slovak Government with a clean slate...
...nation, but radio can also shout a neighbor down. Germany reported a mystery station which blanketed the European air with static during Chancellor Hitler's Nürnberg speech. Similar reports charged German stations with sending out code signals on the Prague wave length to obliterate Premier Hodza's speech. In Germany, listening to Moscow's broadcasts has long been a criminal offense...
