Traveling on forged papers as a Czech named Jaromir Havlicek, he set up headquarters in a Left Bank fleabag to arrange the dispatch of 1,500 Yugoslav volunteers to fight for Loyalist Spain.

...blue, Yugoslavia's Dictator-President Josip Broz Tito arrived in Paris on a visit of state, and was even more thoroughly watched-this time as an endangered rather than a dangerous individual.
