...Calif, has still another pitch. Williams, onetime ghostwriter for Columnist Upton Close, publishes a monthly newsletter, Williams Intelligence Summary. In mid-1951, he carefully trimmed a 1945 news photo of four Allied generals toasting the Allied victory in Europe, at which time Russia's Marshal Georgy K. Zhukov presented Eisenhower and Britain's Field Marshal Montgomery with Russian victory medals. The Williams version left Ike and Zhukov alone in what was intended to look like a suspiciously friendly pose (see cut). Williams printed and is still circulating the picture with the caption: "Zhukov, Communist general, decorates Drinking Partner...
...March 3, 1946, Russian papers carried the news of Vasily's promotion to major general. Red army men saw five-star Marshal Zhukov pop to quivering attention before one-star General Stalin. For beating up a veteran flyer, Vasily was broken back to colonel, but soon had his star back. The phone buzzed incessantly between father & son. In 1947, Vasily was recalled to Moscow. In 1948 he led his first Aviation Day air parade. In 1949, word came that he was commanding general of the jet fighters charged with protecting the Moscow district...
...Warsaw, the greatest among the Kremlin's servants came out of the shadows-Zhukov, victor at Stalingrad, and Rokossovsky, conqueror, still master of Poland.

...seventh anniversary of Poland's Communist regime. The Communist nabobs, out in unusual force, were headed by Russian Politburocrat Vyacheslav Molotov, who is not in the habit of traveling to minor Red letter day celebrations in satellite countries unless he has good reason. Also present: Marshal Georgi Zhukov, recalled from the limbo to which he had been banished in 1946; Soviet Marshal Konstantin Rokossovsky, boss of Poland's armed forces (a week ago reported assassinated); Deputy Premier Walter Ulbricht of East Germany, the top German Communist; Polish President Boleslaw Bierut and enough deputy premiers from Albania, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria...
Satan-Smooth at 3 a.m. The invitation to Moscow began as a luncheon date for March 28, 1945. Stypulkowski and 15 other members of the Polish underground government were invited to be Marshal Zhukov's guests, ostensibly to discuss future Polish-Russian relations and the security of the Red army then fighting in Poland. Actually, the Russians had laid plans to smear the Polish underground, stifle its "uncooperative" patriots, and set up their own puppet regime. Promptly on arrival, the 16 delegates were clapped into Lubianka to be "interrogated." The charge: that they had conspired with the Germans against...
