...visit built up while he was at sea and blew out shortly after he stepped ashore. It was nothing compared with the storm blowing up from pulpit, editorial page, civic organizations and even state legislatures over a visit tentatively scheduled for April by Yugoslavia's Marshal Tito. By last week it was plain that, foreign policy or no, Tito was persona non grata to a vociferous segment of the American public...
...forefront of the attack were some Catholic groups, unshakably opposed to Tito as an old-line Communist and enemy of the church. The Knights of Columbus called on Ike to "refrain" from extending an invitation. In heavily Catholic Massachusetts, the house of representatives in a protest resolution said that an invitation to Tito "would be an act of subservience." In predominantly Protestant Washington State, the state senate resolved that Tito's visit would be "a rebuff to the brave Hungarian and Polish people who are resisting Communist pressures." The American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars took similar...
...Hollywood star. With André Malraux it was to define the place of an elusive literary and political figure in the complicated world of contemporary French intellectualism. Other cover stories have been fast-breaking narratives of a man in the week's news, as at the time when Tito was host to Bulganin and Khrushchev in the spring of 1955, or the detailed exposition of an involved political situation, as in the Eden cover (TIME, Nov. 19) at the height of the Suez crisis.

In April will appear the erring, independent son of Communism, Yugoslavia's Marshal Tito, on a visit that will doubtless cause repercussions as violent in the U.S. as in Moscow. This week the initial repercussion came from House Majority Leader John W. McCormack, who warned Ike that a Tito visit might "make it more difficult" for Congress to pass an effective foreign aid bill...
...close testing of strength would be a finely calculated hint to the ebullient Nikita to mend his ways, but fast. It would explain the recent reversal of the Khrushchev line, the rewarming of Stalinist slogans for the benefit of Old Guard Communists such as Molotov, and the coolness towards Tito. It would also account for Khrushchev's belated dash down to Budapest (in the pattern of his onetime troubleshooting swings through the Ukraine) and the great forgathering in Moscow last week of the ever-faithful East Germans...
