MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
 
 
     Here is a digest of discussions had by a representative of ours with King Peter:
 
     King Peter's sojourn in Cairo was both
                       
     futile and difficult for the following reasons:
                                  
               (a) General Zivkovic was engaged in plots
                       
     directed toward deposing Peter and placing Prince
                       
     Tomislav, the brother of Peter, on the throne. Sup,
                       
     posedly, Prince Tomislav is the bastard son of Gen-
                       
     eral Zivkovic and Queen Marie.
                                  
               (b) Yugoslav army officers have been go-
                       
     ing over to Marshal Tito.
                                 
                  Cabinet underlings have issued in-
                       
     flammatory decrees favoring General !~ihailovic and
                       
     have been affixing King Peter's signature to these
                       
     decrees without his consent. This has made it hard
 
     to work for an understanding with Tito.
