Magnificent Monty Visits Moscow The retired British World War II commander Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery had two conferences with Soviet leader Nikita S. Khrushchev in as many days. He said their talks were interesting, frank, friendly and in a good atmosphere. His visit to Moscow, an unofficial call, was to learn what he could do to help improve east-west relations. He now has a better concept of what we are up against. Photographers snap away as Khrushchev and Montgomery (?) shake hands, talk, pose.
