Resplendent in visored garrison cap with a gold MacArthurian band of "scrambled eggs," dress-blue tunic and breeches, polished black cavalry boots and white doeskin gloves, he too stepped to the airport microphone, said: "The peoples of Yugoslavia have seen that in the Soviet Union they have a most sincere friend and most reliable defender...
