...small signs which Russia's Red regime hoped would be regarded as conciliatory. Russian General Chuikov was, for him, quite polite in rejecting U.S., French and British protests over the downing of an unarmed British bomber and the death of its crew of seven (see below). Foreign Minister Molotov indicated that he might be willing to release nine Britons and one Irish missionary seized in Korea.

The ranks of the chief mourners, following the tall, uniformed pallbearers (see NEWS IN PICTURES), are a dumpy group, who could be posed alongside Stalin without dwarfing...
