...four hours the departure was kept secret, then a brief bulletin issued by the Tanjug agency broke the news to a startled Yugoslavia and a wondering world. Eight days earlier Khrushchev had flown just as suddenly into Belgrade, under the thin pretense of taking a vacation (TIME, Oct. 1), and had remained in close conclave with Tito. The flight to Yalta provoked wide and wild speculation in the world's capitals. Western diplomats, normally an "I told you so" lot, frankly confessed bafflement.

Almost three-quarters of them thought there would be considerable job displacement. And when asked how Negro teachers would vote on desegration in a secret ballot, only 23.8 percent said they would vote for it. Furthermore, 80 percent said that with integration there would be new ways to stop equality in pay and other privileges. The group was evenly divided on whether or not they would prefer to work in a desegregated system...
