Remembering that Tito is still the ruler of a Communist country, the fact that he has not only broken away frotn Moscow's Idomination but has now turned openly to the West is a very importtnt develop- rOpe. We will now have to follow . ment up General Ridgeway's warning to Europe of which I spoke a day or two ago. It is too early to say yet whether Mr. Eden's visit to Marshal Tito will eventually result in 1 treaty between Yugoslavia, and Britain and America. Last .week, as you know, a powerful section of the American Navy paid a 'goodwill visit to Yugoslavian ports. The American commander entertained Tito aboard his flagship and was received In return by the marshal. I have not the least doubt that what passed between them is closely linked with what has just passed between Eden and Will Strengthen West We are not mixing ourselves up with Tito because we are attracted by his bright blue eyes and his Infectious laughter. Nor is he entertaining Western diplomats for the tame reason. Like the Western world, Tito is fighting for his existence and that of his country. In the event of a war between East and West It is a safe bet that the first man Moscow would concentrate on killing would be Tito. He himself has no illusions about it.

This editorial Is an open appeal to the motorists of the state to help keep the record clear. One of the principal reasons Utah has been able to maintain the nation's highest education standards at relatively moderate cost is the degree to which the state's elementary and see-ondary schools have been consolidated. The school bus hat been both father and child to that consolidation. Last year,' Utah's 453 school buses traveled the year. ,811 18,123 miles d 43,020 school chil&en every day, through snow and ice, spring and fall, without a serious .accident. The state maintains the strictest regulations over its school bus program. Buses are given a rigid safety check twice a yearthe state high,: way patrol is now in the middle of this fall'r check. Hard and fist rules of safety govern the driver's conduct, the picking up and discharging of passengers and, in fact, every phase of the operation. But you can't legislate against a carefree, exuberant child dashing out from behind a stopped bus to catch up with his friend across the road. And the people who operate the school buses have no way of controlling the speed of the driver who may be passing Just at that moment. There's a law that governs the meeting or overtaking of any school bus stopped to pick up or let out children. The law says the top speed at such a time is 20 miles an hour. Common sense says that under certain conditionsicy roads, poor visibilityit must be considerably less. their youngsters off to Utah's mothers-sens 'school with confidence in the considerations of drivers and In the safety running through the entire school bus program.

The implications of this new secret weapon's destructive potential -- - not lo mention its value in the saving of American fliers' lives --- are tremendous, In fact, it is possible this development may mark the turning point in the wliole Korean situation. lithe Communists have similar weapons or If they have an effective defense against this new threat, such facts should be soon determined. If not, as appears more probable, the United Nations forces by means of a stepped up offensive should now be in a position to force an early settlement of the futile and costly Korean conflict, the police action which has already claimed more than 120,000 American casualties -- 20,000 of them killed. , It has been evident since that only increased offensive pressure -- -- only the use' of force and more force could bring the Communists to terms for a reasonable truce.

It has no Strategically-importan- t products, and its ancient historic claims as seat of the great Phoenician civilization and as the place from which Solomon obtained cedars to build his d temple will carry little weight in the present-worl, struggle. But Measured in terms of its future psychological effect upon other, Mediterranean - countries, the Lebanese adventure may yet be a factor in rolling back the Kremlin forces. Communism breeds ignorance and poverty and official corruption. Wherever such conditions exist, as they do throughout the Near East, there is danger. Thus, any man or party who undertakes to clean up governmental rottenness is, indirectly and perhaps unknowingly, striking a blow for the West. It worked that way in Turkey. Because. of the ruthless modernization of that country In the years between the two World Wars, Turkey 'now stands seemingly secure against Internal subversion. She is, indeed, the very keystone of Western hopes to save the entire Near East from communism. In Syria, the strongman dictator, Shishekly, overthrew a regime which was ready to make an alliance with the Soviet. Syria may'yet be won into the West's Middle East Defense Command.

That is why America will be looking uneasily toward Lebanon, scent of the latest in a series of bloodless military coups in the Near East. General Fouad Shehab, who seized control 'oethe Lebanese government Thursday, was only following the trend started with such conspicuous success by Kemal Ataturk, the "father of modern Turkey."
