Togliatti Back from Moscow -- Palmiro Togliatti, 57-year-old chief of the Italian communist party, is pictured here (right) during celebrations attending his return to the Rome communist party headquarters, Feb. 27, from Moscow - where he spent a period of convalescence while recovering from a surgical operation on his brain. The operation was performed in Italy. It is hoped in communist circles that he will be able to mend the split in the ranks of the second communist party in the word-over 600 members have seeks to enter the ranks of the Italian Socialist party. With Togliatti at the party are his two closest collaborators: Pietro Secchia (left) and Luigi Longo (centre). March 01, 1951. (Photo by Associated Press Photo).
