Sharp lleclineln New York Stocks

NEW YORK, June 20 -(A-P)— Leading stocks dropped $1 to an extreme of $4 a share in today's market. The decline was one of the sharpest since Wall Street's bull market started in February.

Financial quarters said foreign newg wag mainly responsible for the setback.

Selling was not vigorous. But to find buyers. the owners of stock had to lower their prices rather sharply in some cases.

Specifically, the mounting tens- ion in Berlin and the surprise de- noumcement oi Yugoslavials Mar- shall Tito by the Comlntorm caused considerable concern in the financial district. Many believed that Washington was not taking as firm a stand as necessary in the German capital.

Among issues losing $1 or more 11 share were Skelly p11. Gulf Oil. Southern, Pacific. Atlantic Coast Line, United States steel. General Motors. American Woolen. and Consolidated Natural Ga!-

Japanese papers estimated 5,000 c alties—-an admitted guess — but neither United States ar-zny occupation nor Japanese officials would hazard s. figure. That ilie loss of life might be extremely large. however. was in- dicnted by Llcut. Ben Evans of Crawlordsvllie, Ind.. of the rukui military _ government team. Reaching Takefu, 12 miles south oi the stricken city. he reported iby telephone that one crowded theatre 1n Fukui had collapsed, with only three persons known to have escapcd.,si'id that the busy railway station was demolished, with no known survivors. Fukui. with 83.000 population, is 200 miles west of Tokyo.

The Japanese Welfare Ministry in Tokyo said it had a report that 350 persons were killed at Daishoji, a seashore town 20 miles northwest of Fukui. Occupation headquarters had n report oi.’ 10 dead and 60 hurt there.

PRAGUE, June 28 ——(AP)— The Cominform charged today that Yugoslavlrfls Communist leaders, including Marshal Tito. are trying to discredit Russia and said they must return to Marxist policy or get out.

The blast against Tito-long re- garded as one of the staunclicst pillars of Communism outside the Soviet Union-marked the first publicized break in Russias East- ern European satellite bloc.

The Cominform-llie Communist International Information Bilrcnu --was sot up by Russia and eight Eastern European countries. ill Poland last ycar. Many non-Cem- munists consider it a revival of the old Communist international. which fostered ‘world unrest and revolution. Yugoslavia was one of tile founders and headquarters arc

in the Yugoslav capital of Bel- grade.

Shepherded by A. Zhdanov. a member of Russia's powerful

Politburo. the Comlnform loosed its attack on Tito and his prin- cipal aides at a secret meeting late this month at an undisclosed spot in Romania.

The official statement was pub- llshed today in Rude Provo, of- ficial newspaper of the Czechos- lovak Communist Party.

Revealing that Yugoslav dele- gates declined to attend ilie meet- ing. tho statement virtually read them out of theorganizaiion along with Tito and his top aides.

The virulence of the attack on Tito was unmistakable. The peas- ant's son who bccairne chief cf state of Yugoslavia. was castigated. with his aides. as Trotnkyists. one of the supreme insults in the Cem- munlst vocabulary.

With Zhdanovs signature, itwas certain that the statement bore the approval of tho highest Com- munist quarters. Eight of the original nine Cominform states were represented at the meeting and signed the statement.
