PEOPLE'S ARMY LEADER
LONDON, October 30.
General Tito, leader of the Yugoslav People's Army of Liberation, is Josip Borozovich, a Croat metal worker and trade union leader who fought for the Republicans in the Spanish civil war. This is revealed by Lieutenant Lambton Burn, R.N.V.R., naval editor of "Parade," a British illustrated journal published in Cairo. Lieutenant Burn spent three days in a Dalmatian port occupied by Tito's troops. The People's Army has hitherto done its utmost to keep its leaders name a secret. Tito commands an army which is said to number 300,000, and which is divided into 20 divisions. Among the officers are officers of the old Yugoslav army, workmen, peasants, and professional men.
