When Moscow excommunicated Marshal Tito (TIME, July 12), the world got a tantalizing intimation that conflicting personal and national interests can be stronger than Marxist theories as enforced by the Kremlin. Last week, historic documents on the Tito-Stalin conflict became available. Some hours after Andrei Vishinsky arrived in Belgrade for the Danube conference, pamphlets brought by his staff from Russia were shoved into Belgrade mailboxes, slipped under doors at night.

His dark-eyed daughter Euphemia was indeed employed by Tass, as a clerk and teletypist. An earnest, idealistic girl, she had gone to Sarah Lawrence College, became interested in Marxism. No amount of argument or entreaty from her father had done any good. So far as he (and the FBI) knew, she was not a card-holding Communist. But when she took the Tass job, Virden...
