Yugoslavian President Tito dies at age 87 BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (UPI) President Josip Broz Tito, the last great hero of World War H who founded Communist Yugoslavia but kept it out of the ,Vviet bloc, died yesterday; succumbing to a four month-long illness three days before his 88th birthday. Tito's doctors said he was in a coma when he passed away at 10:05 EDT in the Ljubljana Medical Center, where he had been hospitalized since undergoing the amputation of his left leg Jan. 20. Doctors listed the cause of death as heart failure and "eost-operative complications" from that operation. 'nut his death, expected for weeks as his condition slipped from grave to critical, was not announced until several hours hours after the fact, when the official news agency Tanjug flashed the news to the nation with four somber words: "Comrade Tito is dead." Moments later, the collective leadership running the country since the early days Of Tito's illness confirmed is death in an announcement carried by Tanjug and read over television by a black-clad announcer who choaked over his words. "To the working class, to the working people and citizens, to the peoples and nationalities of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Comrade Tito is dead. "On May 4, 1980, at 1505 hours in Ljubljana, the great i peart of the president of our Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia ceased to beat," it said. Tito, who was born a peasant but grew to become a wartime hero, the father or modern Yugoslavia and a founder of the non-aligned movement, was the only leader Yugoslavia has known for more than 35 years.

Former CIA director talks on U.S. policies Editors Note: Daily Collegian reporters Linda Boyer and Stacey Fleckenstein interviewed former CIA director William .E. Colby concerning his foreign policy views during his visit to the Itiversity last month. The following is edited for length and clarity. COLLEGIAN: Since leaving the CIA in 1976, you have written a book, "Honorable Men My Life in the CIA." Did you write it in response to the eri4icisms waged against the CIA during your term as director'? COLBY : The CIA was under a lot of attack, of course, and I thought it would be useful to set down a factual account of my experience in the organization. At that time there some very exaggerated and sensational im prAssions of what the CIA was all about and I thought it would be useful to put in the record on the public stands a factual account of what it really did and some of the good things it did, and describe the problems of how you run a secret agency in democracy such as ours. Interview COLLEGIAN: In President Carter's State of the Union Address, he asked for a loosening of restrictions on the CIA. Do you think this will happen? COLBY: I'm sure it will. The issue today really is how to approach this. You see, Americans started intelligence thinking it was the spy business, totally secret, nothing for anybody but the president to be concerned about. That began to break down because we've changed the nature of in telligence, made some rather major changes. We began to change within the agency and then some leaks occurred. We had about a year of great sensational headlines and great uproar. The pen dulum swung from that earlier belief in total secrecy to an experiment in almost total exposure. And then out of the good sense of the s; 4 lOW American people, the feeling grew that we hurt ourselves in this process too much; we became too open and we weakened our country in the face of the real world. The mood in the country began to change we didn't want to go back to the old days, but we didn't want to just tear our intelligence system apart. That's the mood that we're in now. The way I want to see it is the adoption of a whole new charter which sets up the proper procedure for the management of our intelligence under our Constitutional laws. This would set limits for what the agency will do, provide for ac countability and say that there are procedures that must be followed. I think that would be a better solution than just unhooking a few of the extra limits put on to the CIA. COLLEGIAN: What effect' do books like Philip Agee's "CIA Diary" have on the Agency's activities and the agents themselves? COLBY: It has a definite effect on the individuals who are named in it. We knew that Mr. Agee's book was coming out ahead of time, but we didn't know what it was going to say. We knew where he had worked and we had to move a lot people around in Latin America where he had worked in order to protect them. lie's now engaged in a campaign to try to expose CIA people all over the world. This exposes them to danger and ex poses their families to troubles. He is a defector in the actual sense of the word. He changed his allegiance from our country. He's trying to destroy our in telligence service. COLLEGIAN: Is there any legislation to protect the CIA from agents who chose to leak information? COLBY:No . t at the moment, that's one of the weaknesses of the present system. If a CIA officer goes over and hands some secret material to a Russian, he can be punished under the laws. But, if he hands it to a newpaper reporter, in effect he can't be. This is absurd. Continued on Page 5. W 202 PATTEE Hospitalized for the past 113 days, he would have been 88 on May 7. Although his death had been expected following weeks of somber daily medical bulletins chronicling his struggle to stay alive, the anticipation did not buffet his 22 million countrymen from the shock. People stopped and wept openly in the streets. The announcer on the state television network joined them, stumbling over the words of the statement placed before him: "Heavy pain and grief shakes the working class . . . each of us, worker, soldier and wartime comrade." "Tito cannot die, Tito cannot die," cried an elderly man, when a reporter stopped him on a Belgrade street. "Tito is all of us. Tito is Yugoslavia." In Washington, President Carter called Tito a "towering figure on the world state" and, alluding to the uncertainties of 'the post-Tito era, affirmed that "America will continue its long-standing policy of support for Yugoslavia, and do what it must to provide that support." There was no immediate explanation for the delay in the announcement of Tito's death, which according to the official bulletin actually occurred about two hours before his doctors released a medical bulletin saying that his condition had slipped from "very grave" to "critical." Another long, detailed medical bulletin listing his cause of death heart, kidney and liver failure complicated by pneumonia, jaundice, a high fever and the daily 4 COPIES • a • .t .~ :~~~ -~.:~~ ir m i Aill • 4,001z:11-06, ; ~ i . , '''"'''t, i'• .. ‘'''' 4 , ' 4 .:,;:.- '' :4, .

Although Tito was rumored to have been a diabetic, the fact was never confirmed until now. The two presidiums of the party and state, which jointly make up the collective leadership government, met in Belgrade to prepare the death announcement and organize the funeral arrangements, Tanjug said. Officials said Tito's body will be brought from Ljubljana in northwestern Yugoslavia to Belgrade by special train today. The funeral will take place Thursday after Tito's body lies in state for two days at the green-domed parliament building in downtown Belgrade. He will' be buried.in the park of his residence at 15 Uzicka street. There will be seven-days of mourning, the officials announced.. Condolences poured in from around the world from the Communist bloc, from the non-aligned nations whose movement he helped to found and from western democracies who, like his own people, ad mired Tito's courage in standing up to the Kremlin and steering Yugoslavia clear of the Soviet bloc. Tito's "passing is an event which will be marked with great sorrow not only in Yugoslavia but in the United States and in other countries of the world," said a State Department spokesman in Washington. Born May 7, 1892, Tito was one of 15 children of a peasant couple in the Croatian hamlet of Kumrovec, in what was then the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
