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.

McCarthy stated, that, in closed hearings, Furry refused to testify about radar espionage and indoctrination of students.
