...Yugoslavia's picture-postcard resort of Bled, in a villa once built for the royal family of Yugoslavia, Communist Tito last week signed a 20-year "treaty of alliance, political cooperation and mutual assistance" with Greece and Turkey. Just six years ago, Tito's Yugoslavia was arming Red guerrillas fighting in Greece; a generation ago, Greeks and Turks were deep in a bloody war with one another.
