He knew if he took the little moose the mother, in keeping with the law of the wild, would have nothing more to do with her baby after it had been touched by hu- man hands. Mayfield decided to take the lit- tle guy. He loaded him into his truck. At home, he and his wife first fed Barney with a bottle and then from a bucket. Now Barney, six months old, is just like one of the family. At 5 a.m. the eldest Mayfield daughter always goes out to milk the cows. Invariably the little May- field boy tags along and, as is the habit of small boys, leaves the kitchen door open. Barney doesn't muff the chance. In the house he goes, eating any- thing he can lay a tooth to in the}. kitchen. The davenport is the next stop, sort of an after-breakfast nap. Mrs. Mayfield recalls the time she mixed up a big batch of pan- cake batter and. set it on the side- board only to have Barney gobble it up. No hay for Barney. But he really goes for milk. He guzzles six gallons a day. Vege- tables and fruit help fill up the empty spots, plus what he can serounge in the kitchen. Mayfield has a fenced-in pasture near the house and that’s where he will try to keep Barney when he grows horns, just in case some trigger-happy hunter shows up in the neighborhood.

SINGLETON BELGRADE & — Communist countries have increased their dip- | lomatic representation in Yugo-| slavia by nearly 300 per cent dur- ing the past two years in what appears to be an attempt to woo| President Tito away from the| West. A diplomatic list published hy the French embassy here records the names and positions of 45 dip- lomats on duty here now from Russia and its satellite countries. There were 16 from the seven countries in 1952, when relations with Yugoslavia were at low tide. Russia,. Albania, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria and Romania have full- fledged ambassadors stationed here. Hungary has a minister, sec- ond ranking post in the foreign diplomatic service, on duty while Poland does its business through a charge d'affaires. This is in sharp contrast to the period which followed the 1948 break when Tito’s Yugoslavia was booted out of the cominform part- nership on charges he and his top lieutenants had been pursuing “‘in- dependent, nationalistic, Trotsky- ite policies.” The Russian-cominform denunci- ation fell only a step short of a diplomatic’ break. In the months that followed, all the cominform countries including Russia pulled their top envoys out of Yugoslavia, leaving behind only skeleton staffs. Tito responded in kind, bringing out all but a few of his diplomatie Prague, Warsaw, Budapest, Bucha- rest, Sofia and Tirana and i at their posts sufficient personnel to report his determination to stand firm against domination by the Kremlin.
