...Russians were directly involved; Field Marshal Alexander's immediate adversaries were Yugoslav Partisans who had tried to seize title to Trieste before Italy's claims could be settled by Big Power negotiation (TIME, May 28). Last week, while negotiations with Marshal Josip Broz (Tito) continued, Alexanders U.S., New Zealand and Indian troops held a line running inland from Trieste deep into Titoland. After visiting this fantastic, front, TIME Correspondent Tom Durrance cabled...

His protector in the Kremlin, his disturbed Allies in London and Washington breathed a little easier. None of them had wanted battle at Trieste; yet all had risked it.

Until recently he was accounted a nonentity in the Moscow diplomatic picture. However, there are indications that his status has altered. When Marshal Tito visited Moscow, the Mongolian envoy was invited to greet him at the airport by the protocol department of the Commissariat for Foreign Affairs and was introduced to the Yugoslav leader by Commissar Viacheslav M.
