MOSCOW

Major General Robert Grow,
army attache at the United
States embassy here for nearly
two years, is a_ well-set-up,
jovial, military gent with a
backslapping manner.

“Everybody's friend,” .people
used to say about him at diplo-
matic cocktail parties.

They might still be saying it,
but for a slip in the general’s
well-ordered routine.

This amiable-looking  repre-
sentative of the Pentagon was
fond of looking at the country-
Side.

He made a pilgrimage to Leo
Tolstoy’s home at Yasnaya Pol-
yana. He visited quite a number
of Soviet cities far from Mos-
cow.

And when he came back, he
wrote his innermost thoughts
in a diary.

Unfortunately for him, ‘that
diary has now been published—
and if you have any doubts
about its ‘genuineness, you
should know that his colleagues
have not.

That is why the U.S. embassy
has been in such a flap for the
past fortnight. ,

The disaster — to General
Grow — happened in Berlin last
summer, just about the time the
world’s youth gathered there
to show their desire for peace
and international friendship.

General Grow was in the
neighboring Western sector. He
was recognized by an American

officer. This officer found .

Grow’s diary, read it, and toek
photostat copies. He made sure
that these came into the hands
ef Gordon Squire, a British of-
ficer who had joined the peace
camp and was in East Berlin.

Gordon Squire has now pub-
ished in Berlin the book he was
vriting, and in it extracts from
the diary.

Now we learn that when Gen-
eral Grow went on a little trip
and saw a bridge, his thought
was “What a target!”

His diary noted the number

‘ of bombs the thought necessary

to destroy it.

When he motored 200 miles
to Tolstoy’s home and back and
found the museum closed, do
you think he really minded?
Not at all.
