Touts—Foreign and Native

For the past week, Yugoslav diplomats have been whispering that Vyacheslav Molotov was back in Moscow. The implication seems to be that Premier Khrushchev is planning to dust him off for use at pre-summit and summit meetings. Not so long ago, however, the same Yugoslav sources were whispering to their newspaper friends that Comrade Bulganin’s irascible letters to Mr. Eisenhower were not to be taken seriously; that they were part of a gigantic Khrushchev ploy. Once he had booted his friend out of top office, or so the “explanation” went, Mr. Khrushchev would make a grandstand reversal which would usher in an era of reasonableness and a speedy meeting of the Big Three.
