Slightly Separate Road

Yugoslavia's Marshal Tito has made much of the things that differentiate his Communism from other Communism. In Soviet Russia 1,378 candidates stood for 1,378 seats in last month's Supreme Soviet elections. Not for Tito such a travesty of democracy. Last week the Yugoslav dictator held his own version of parliamentary elections. For 301 seats, Yugoslav voters had a choice of 307 candidates.

At this particular check point on Tito's "separate road to Socialism," a record 96% of the electors cast their votes (5.6% more than in 1953). Tito himself got the country's biggest majority (99.3%) in his Belgrade suburb of "New Class" villas. In the six contested races, even the losing candidates could be secure in the knowledge that Tito had picked them too.
