Honest Witness. No one accused tousled Herbert Evatt of any Communist affiliations or pro-Communist leanings. Still, he exploded like an enraged bull before a royal commission that set out to investigate the Petrov revelations (TIME, Sept. 27, 1954), and even questioned the motives of the commission itself when it ruled unanimously last August that Petrov was an honest witness...
...this month, President Carlos Castillo Armas will make a state visit to Washington and reap some of the honor due him as the doughty little warrior who kicked a pro-Communist government out of Guatemala.

...heroes were international revolutionary vagabonds. Often they were Communists, and at first Malraux saw in Communism something which gave "dignity back to all those I fight with." In the 1930s, the Communists claimed Malraux as their own. Malraux wrote a pro-Communist novel (Days of Wrath), went to Moscow several times, with Gide carried a protest to Hitler against the conviction of Bulgarian Communist Georgi Dimitrov for the Reichstag fire...
