Bombay State's stringent prohibition law was annulled just for Tito, so that his party could bring in whisky and wines. Before a special twelve-car, two-locomotive train carried the visitors the 850 miles to New Delhi, a pilot train went ahead to test the track. Standing on a red carpet to greet Tito were Nehru and Indian President Prasad. In between a flurry of motorcades, polo matches, preparations for a tiger hunt and bows to street crowds,* the Marshal and the Indian Premier closeted themselves for talks about matters of "great significance."

Both courses would in the end aid the Communists: appeasement obviously by strengthening them, internal repression and atomic war with...
...Should stringent restrictions be placed on newspaper coverage of court trials? Many a lawyer thinks so and strict codes for covering trials have even been proposed (TIME, July 12).

Said Brownell: "Our free press brings to light corruption, injustice, dishonesty, wrongs of every kind . . .
