...Communist world cannot afford. Whatever their motives, their attack came as a shattering surprise to Belgrade, where Tito had been counting on China as a major ally in his fight for "independent Communism." The Kremlin's hard-line Politburocrats have gathered pledges of support from all the satellites except Poland, and from the big Communist Parties of France and Italy, leaving Yugoslavia and Poland almost isolated in insisting on "separate ways to socialism."

Born in the Ukraine, Orest Stephen Makar, 47, had taught in Warsaw and Munich before coming to the U.S. in 1949. He was a specialist in photogrammetry,* worked for the U.S. Interior Department's Geodetic Survey, later got limited security clearance for a job at the White Sands Proving Ground in New Mexico. By the time he arrived in St. Louis...
