Because Tito had quarreled and split with Stalin largely on account of Russian interference in Yugoslav army affairs, the U.S. did not press the right that it reserves, under all military assistance treaties, to examine the use to which its military aid is put. But now that the time has come to repair or replace some of the hardware, the U.S. Military Assistance Section in Belgrade (about 40 officers and men) asked to take a look at the Yugoslav troops and installations to measure replacement needs. The Yugoslavs stonily refused...
Milton Kaufman, once the executive vice president of the American Newspaper Guild, now an outdoor salesman, invoked the Fifth Amendment's protection. Monroe Stern, onetime Hearst writer and president of the New York Guild local, who became pressagent for the Yugoslav embassy, told the committee he never was a party member.

Last week he performed even more daringly...
Only a day or two before Nehru's arrival, the Yugoslav government concluded a three-day conference with ambassadors of the West, designed to reassure them that he had not been taken into the Russian camp. A communiqué was issued, announcing "a wide measure of agreement between the four Governments" (U.S., Britain, France and Yugoslavia). Within an hour after the ambassadors and Tito had basked together at a final lunch, the Yugoslav government announced an item that Tito had neglected to impart to his luncheon companions: he had just accepted Khrushchev's invitation to visit Moscow...
