In the United States, [[Louis Adamic]] had access to [[Eleanor Roosevelt]].  Adamic was invited to dinner at the [[White House]] and pressed upon U.S. President [[Franklin Roosevelt]] for support of the [[Comintern]] [[subversion (political)|subversive]] Tito over  Allied Colonel Draja Mikhailovitch.  The U.S. [[Office of War Information]] began spreading subversive disinformation that the leader of the anti-fascist resistance, Mikhailovitch was an ineffectual leader with so little backing that Hitler offered a reward of 100,000 marks for Tito's head but nothing for Mikhailovitch's.

This disinformation campiagn against Mikhailovitch and the promotion of Tito were repeated in other mainstream magazines for the American publics consumption. Frank Gervasi in ''Collier's'' wrote how Tito led 250,000 men while Mikhailovitch had no more than 10,000. The Yugoslav government - in - exile in London continued to support Mikhailovitch. The British Foreign Office in its dealings with the [[Josef Stalin]] closed  the British Broadcasting Company to the Yugoslav government - in - exile and a little later put the broadcast facilities at the disposal of the Comintern Partisans of Tito.
