1. Tito
 
.
     Tito is about 81 or 82 years old. He is about 5 feet 7
 
inches tall and weighs about 180 or 185 pounds. He is more fat
 
than heavy set but still capable of considerable physical
 
exertion. He is known, for instance, as one of the fastest
 
walkers in the Partisan Army. He wears gold and horn rimmed
 
spectacles, has grayish black hair, is swarthy, dresses meticu-
 
lously and with a suggestion of vanity, seems to like his comforts and eats and iives in astonishing
 
luxury considering the conditions in his country. He is not impressive to meet in that
 
his manner is mild, restrained and with a suggestion of quiet
 
humor rather than exhibiting any of the dominating or overbearing
 
qualities that characterize some of the men in positions corresponding to his.
 
     His approach to most problems is dispassionate, analytical
 
and rational. He gave me the impression of a man of clear thought, who knew what he wanted
 
and why, and who was forceful, courageous and skillful in striving for these ends. He inspires
 
the best kind of loyalty among his followers who regard him as a
 
friend as well as a leader.
 
        In spite of his known affiliation with Russian commuunism, most of the peoulation seem to
 
regard him first as a patriot and the liberator of his country and only secondarily as a communist.
