...clubs . . . We have our own friends." But 40-year-old Vladimir Dedijer (pronounced Dayd-yer), devoted Communist, had no friends who could, or would, help him out of the trouble he was in. The only man in Yugoslavia to speak up for him at all-ex-Vice President Milovan Djilas-was himself in just as much trouble. The two men fought alone last week in a suspenseful but losing battle against Yugoslavia's Communist hierarchy. It was a rare sight: a deep and significant squabble deep inside a Communist family circle, but carried out in almost full view...
That's the Way. Tito's other rebel last week amiably sat back waiting for the disciplinarians to come after him. Milovan Djilas had been stripped of all his offices a year ago, and seemed readier than his friend to accept the consequences of his heresy. "If it had been Kardelj under attack, I would no doubt have been forced to lead the fight against him," he said. "That's the way Communist parties work...

He called for the formation of a new "democratic-socialist" party to contest Tito's one-party rule...
...infantry company to shovel it clear so that Tito could attend the annual dinner of the foreign correspondents who work in Belgrade. There, the 62-year-old dictator, rejecting native rakija in favor of three Martinis, swapped opinions convivially until an unprecedented 1:15 a.m. He talked of Milovan Djilas, the vice president he had stripped of all offices for being soft on democracy. He loved the man, said Tito, but politically Djilas is through for good. Mr. Djilas is a talented writer, the dictator added thoughtfully -perhaps he can find work in the literary field...
