YUGOSLAVIA: New Cabinet

Only a fortnight ago, Minister of Education Stefan Raditch, fiery leader of the Croatian National party, overthrew the Pashitch Cabinet (TIME, April 12) by charging that the Premier was abetting his son, Rade Pashitch, in graft. In the subsequent Uzunovitch Cabinet (TIME, April 19) M. Raditch resumed the portfolio of Education; but last week he delivered a public speech at Takrodz, Jugoslavia, in which he charged that the ministry of Transport was still graft-ridden.

At Belgrade, Minister of Transport Krsta Miletitch took violent offense, declared: "I will not sit at the same table with such a vagabond ne'er-do-well as Raditch. I hereby tender my resignation to Premier Uzunovitch."

By next morning the Cabinet had reached a state of such utter disunion that it resigned.

Promptly King Alexander commanded M. Uzunovitch to reform his Ministry. He did so—ostentatiously calling upon former War Minister General Dushan Trifunovitch to take Croat Raditch's Ministry of Education and refusing to call in M. Raditch at all. From the potent Creation ranks he chose but two new Cabinet members: MM. Nikitch (Forests and Mines) and Shoaperine (Posts and Telegraphs).
