...Soviet Union's policy has definitely changed, declared Yugoslavia's Marshal Tito last week, and as a result, he said, international tension has eased. "If anyone is competent to recognize a trap, it is we," said Communism's No. 11 heretic, who is, of course, still a Communist. "Because of our experience, we can distinguish between what is a maneuver and what is a positive step," he added. To Tito, the Russian change is more than a maneuver...
Though their affair could hardly be the same ever again, Communism's celebrated divorcees, Soviet Russia and Yugoslavia, were beginning to speak nicely of one another. Marshal Tito's word for it is "normalization," a process which has been going on since Stalin died. Less than three months after Stalin's death, full diplomatic relations were resumed. The Danube Commission, the Communist-run agency which regulates all that floats through central and southern Europe, relaxed its stranglehold on Yugoslav commerce. On the anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution last November, Tito cabled Moscow his best wishes, got back...
During World War I Elsa hit the charity trail. She topped the big time at a gala for French war orphans in New York's Metropolitan Opera House by producing the notoriously unproducible Marshal Joffre.

Like Field Marshal Montgomery, Billy Graham never launches an attack unless he can be fairly sure in advance that his forces are superior to the enemy-the main enemy perhaps being indifference. Before Graham agrees to conduct a campaign in any given city, preliminary negotiations may go on for years (New Orleans churchmen first began talking about the current crusade in 1950). Graham must be sure that he has the backing of the top Protestant churches in the area, as well as the support of business and civic leaders. After he accepts an invitation, the local sponsoring committee is promptly...
Good Fruit. In Belgrade, where Yugoslav Communists had once trumpeted, "We give our life, but never Trieste!" Marshal Tito reacted with equal grace and calm. "The settlement of the Trieste question," said Tito's Acting Foreign Secretary Ales Bebler, "should be the springboard toward [a] new era in relations." Tito himself spoke warmly of the negotiations that had produced the settlement, paying particular tribute to President Eisenhower for the personal letter which persuaded Tito to give ground and thereby make the settlement possible. The Yugoslav leader added: "With this understanding we are prepared to accept with the greatest pleasure...
