Embassy, return to Washington and later journey back to Moscow with an Embassy staff. While he is away in the U. S., said Ambassador Bullitt, there will...
...Bright, bald-headed young William Christian Bullitt, first U. S. Ambassador to the U. S. S. R., went to Warm Springs for his last instructions before leaving for Moscow.
