Leaders gather

for Tito’s funeral

LONDON (UPI) - The
funeral for Josip Broz Tito,
the peasant who defied
Stalin. and became the
fonder of modern
Yugoslavia, will see one of
the greatest gatherings of
world leaders and European
royalty in recent years.

Among those scheduled to
attend the ceremonies in
Belgrade Thursday are Vice
President Walter Mondale,
China’s Chairman Hua Kuo-
Feng, British Prime Minister
Margaret Thatcher, West
German Chancellor Helmut
Schmidt and the leaders of
India and Pakistan.

It was assumed French
President Valery Giscard
d‘Estaing will also be present
and that the Soviet Union
would send Foreign Minister
Andrei Gromyko to
represent ailing President
‘Leonid Brezhnev.

Similar gatherings of
world leaders have occurred
in recent years only at the
funerals of French President
Charles de Gaulle, West
German Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer, and Britain's
wartime leader Winston
Churchill.

If the pattern followed at
recent state funerals are an
indication, however, the
Belgrade gathering does not
necessarily mean there will
be serious working con-
ferences between the
leaders.

Most of the leaders will
spend only between 24 to 36
hours in the Yugoslave
capital. Much of this time
will be taken up with at-
tending the funeral
ceremonies and with
protocol calls on the new
Y ugoslav leadership.

Meetings between visiting
foreign statesmen are
unlikely to amount to more
than courtesy calls after the
state funeral.

Even so, such meetings
can be used to renew
pohtical contacts or to make
arrangements for subsequent
meetings.

President Lyndon B.
Johnson took advantage of
his presence at Adenauer'’s
funeral in Bonn to hold bnef
talks with other leaders on
ways to end the Vietnam
war, an example followed by
Richard M. Nixon when he
flew to Paris to attend De
Gaulle's funeral.

Indian Prime Minister
Indira Gandhi and Pakistani
President Mohammed Zia
Ul-haq, who cut short a visit
to China and cancelled a tnp
to North Korea, will also
attend the funeral.

Other leaders scheduled
to attend the funeral include
the presidents of Portugal,
Austria, Finland,
Bangladesh and the prime
minister of Turkey.

Among the visiting royalty
will be the kings of Belgium,
Sweden, Norway and the
pmace of Denmark, as well
as Pnnce Philip, husband of
Britain's Queen Elizabeth IL.
