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.

President [[Franklin Roosevelt]] in 1942 had paid tribute to Mikhailovitch and his daring men. But at the [[Teheran conference]], as part of the policy of appeasing Stalin, Roosevelt and [[Winston Churchill]] abandoned Mikhailovitch completely and yielded to Soviet’s choice of Tito. Shortly after the Teheran conference, Churchill in a speech in February 1944 indicated that the allies were no longer sending supplies to Mikhailovitch. Two months later King Peter, the Yugslavian Head of State was forced to dismiss Premier Purich, which meant the entire cabinet in which Mikhailovitch was Minister of War. The Communist Subasich was made Prime Minister. With the subsequent Russian invasion and the aid of American supplies, the Communists and Tito were took control.  Mikhailovitch, an Atlantic Charter ally, was shot by Tito as a traitor.
