...shooting for sport. The boss of the Soviet Communist Party owns a luxurious collection of shotguns and rifles, and he likes to slip quietly out of Moscow to the water meadows of the Ukraine to bag a string of ducks. Last week Nikita Khrushchev traveled all the way to Yugoslavia to indulge his hobby in one of Europe's more exclusive hunting grounds: the vast domain at Belje, once a sporting ground of the Habsburg princes, now a model "socialist farm" and preserve of Marshal Tito and his cronies. In a happy day's hunting Khrushchev potted three...
Waiting for Ike. Inevitably the speculation turned to agile Marshal Tito's pending economic deals with the West. He was about ready to conclude a war settlement with West Germany that will give Yugoslavia $14 million in cash and $57 million in credits. And he was waiting for President Eisenhower to decide whether the U.S. should go ahead with a plan to give Yugoslavia $20 million worth of surplus agricultural products and other economic aid in view of Tito's return to cozy relations with Moscow. Khrushchev's arrival, dramatizing Tito's ties with the Soviet...
Sixty more Egyptian pilots were to be pressed into service after only a month's training, and pilots from other countries (including 15 from Russia, four from Yugoslavia) arrived to help.

A World War II Royal Navy flyer and jet test pilot, Stevenson has been forced out of Yugoslavia, denounced by the Peking radio for his stories after a trip through Red China, and scolded by the Canadian government for breaking a story on Canada's highly secret "flying saucer"-a saucer-shaped aircraft expected to fly 1,500 m.p.h. In Korea, where he won the Canadian Press...
...Buzzard Beds and Bucks Observer. He had worked his way up to Fleet Street by 1948, when he moved to Canada. The Toronto Globe & Mail fired him after three weeks as a deskman. Then he joined the Star. In 1949 his first self-invented foreign assignment took him to Yugoslavia to check up on 3,000 Yugoslav immigrants who had left Canada for Tito's Marxist paradise and wanted to get out again. Stevenson's stories of their misery produced official Canadian protests to Belgrade, which refused him a visa renewal but let the Yugo-Canadians...
