The forces of the Yugoslav Liberation Army, led by Marshal Josip (Tito) Brozovich have been swelled in recent weeks by an influx of young Jews who succeeded in fleeing from Hungary, it is reported here.
The report says that Tito now has 28,000 Jewish officers and men serving in his units. (It was reported at a meeting of the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee in Moscow early this month, that the Yugoslav forces had 35,000 Jews in their ranks.)
