...opinion of, among others, the French Foreign Office, this is the meaning of Khrushchev's sudden pilgrimage to Belgrade in September and Tito's journey to Yalta a few days later. It is now known that at Yalta Tito and the Russians discussed at length the "rehabilitation" of satellite leaders persecuted by Stalin for Titoism. In Poland there was Gomulka, not long out of a jail term for putting his country before his Communism, but courageous, tough and dedicated. In Hungary, the hangman had long since disposed of Rajk, but there was Erno Gero, who might bring...
...reach in his White Palace. But an official spokesman of his government declared: "No decisions were made in the Khrushchev-Tito talks [which were] of a purely private character." Private or not, a lot of Yugoslav Communists were being told, officially and in gossip, what had happened at Yalta. "There was one unexpected thing," a Tito penman confessed in the official party organ Borba. "The letter circulated [by the Soviet Communists] to the [satellite] Communist parties . . . expressed the opinion [that] our country and its leadership is not Marxist.

A thoughtful Tito, as he flew back to Belgrade one day last week, must have been brooding deeply about how comradely an independent Yugoslav Communist could afford to be. It was not difficult to understand...
Funeral for Face. There is no real evidence that Tito is going to fall into the trap set for him by his old comrades. In fact, the Soviet Communists, by making a number of concessions to him, made his visit to Yalta seem highly successful. In Hungary, the Communists ordered the disinterment and state reburial of former Foreign Minister Laszlo Rajk and three other top-ranking Communists who were all hanged seven years ago as Titoists. The Hungarian state Cabinet and some 200,000 Hungarians marching behind the black coffins were, in effect, a tribute to Tito...
