unbiased information to the public about the students' and teachers' aims. The statement noted that the student body's endorsement of the declaration would be needed.

INR comment: The regime appears to be continuing its policy of smothering the student revolt with declarations of approval of the students' aims, while at the same time trying to bring the CP into a position of control over student action committees in Belgrade. Tito's speech places his speech into play for this purpose and may have a quieting effect. Tito's hinted dissatisfaction with some Yugoslav officials' lack of concern over domestic social problems may conceivably presage some dismissals to placate the students.

FBIS 02 June 10 (AFP from Belgrade June 9) 080 According to AFP in Belgrade (at 6:30 p.m. June 9 Washington time), "the student strike in Belgrade is practically over." Tito's speech was achhaimed by 8,000 Belgrade students, who are now committed to proceeding with their examinations starting June 10.
