PROVISIONAL' PLAN The decision; on continued aid, which is subject to change until the President has actually made a public declaration of it, is ae tually a kind of provisional de termination of United States policy toward the non-Soviet communist country, Eisenhower1 has directed the state and de fense departments to make i monthly review of Yugoslavia's position as between the western powers and Russia and make new determination each, month of whether United States aid continues to be justified. A law passed by Congress last July fixed Oct 16 next Tues day as the deadline for a re view of the Yugoslav aid program by Eisenhower. It required him to make a positive decision at that time on whether further aid was justified. TAKE INTO ACCOUNT Eisenhowertold a news con ference Thursday that all 'de' velopments.

Until about three weeks ago State Department officials and other Eisenhower advisers fig ured the President's decision was automatic. They 'saw no evidence giving" up what Tito has defined as a policy on has centered on a conflict be- between the Western and Soviet blocs.
