Are the seeds of a new Balkan war being Au-fia- n Recent Invasion Spells Course The recent invasion of Czechoslovakia by Soviet and some Warsaw Pact troops stands uppermost as ta what couise of act.on the Kremlin may elect to cool the Balkan ardor for self determination. If the Ru.an maneuver in Czechoslovaks was simply an effort to cow the Czech spirit (watch they havent done) then it would appear some of the budm ght eventuding Balkan hepes for self-rjlally bar fruit. If, however, the attack on the Czechs was a Soviet decision to avert any further deerioration of Russian influence in Eastern Europe, then Yugoslavia, Romania and to a lesser extent Albania stand on the brink of a cavernous pit of quick sand. To understand the cunent Balkan problem one must first look to Yugoslavia, the earliest of Soviet satellite mavericks. So bold was Yugoslavias bid for going it alone that it was eventually ejected from the partnership by an irate Stalin. This came despite Titos embracement of e zig-zag- s world, visiting odd spots. He stops off m Tonga, in Yap, m Tanzania, Uganda, Abu Sim-be- l, and other far-oplaces. And when he visits a country, he just doesnt describe it. He participate. In Africa, he sat in an old cannibal stew pot. He ate a broiled bat in the South Pacific. Interested In People Different from most travel w liters, he is more interested in the people of a land than he is in the mountains. And author Pi ice meets the man tn the street whetever he goes. He siiys away from the and his still cenualist views. Yugoslavias achievements to date hive spuried Romania to accelerate its eftcits to throwoff the Russian yoke. As a result, Romania sands in greater danger of Soviet I! V V' T military action than does Yugoslavia, but the aie by no means out of the woods. Albania is the second most irritating thoin in the Russian side Albanias split with the Soviet over the ideological batt'e with Red China, its sut sequent witluliawal front the Waisaw Pact and the growing fnenJship wi'li Yugoslavia have been pills the Russians find difficult to swallow. Today, only Bulgarir appears content t prvc the i ole of a Russian slave, but tlieie, too, there is a rising fever of nationalism. How long and to what extent will Russia endure the fragmentation of its power is the big Balkan question. How much is the Soviet prepared to gamble to maintain its sphere of influence and preserve the identi'y of the Balkan bloc as Russian satellite is another. The answers, once they come, will in large measuie determine the fate of this heavily scarred European battleground.

He has a successful career, an attractive wife, two children he loves and who love him. Yet Peter Carmody has been playing at a marriage that has run down over the years through emotional attrition and boredom. Sometimes, when the martinis come fast enough and the determined, frenetic gaiety of friends momentarily fills up the emptiness, the charade is almost convincing. But in the small, honest hours of the night, Peter recognizes his arrangement for what it is the very opposite of living.
