a particular shock to the Royal
Family when they found that,
in addition to going to the
theater. she had gone on to
supper, and that she had gone

this"
Margaret, failed to attend
the royal showing of Les

Queen and Prince Philip, de-
spite the fact that she report
eddy had no other engagement.
She saw the movie last Thurs
day with her own friends.
High-spirited and gay, the
Princess often has been the
center Of attention at dances
and parties. Interest in her
has grown since she bowed to
family and church and publicly
rejected the love of Group
Capt. Peter Townsend, a
divorced World War II hero,
two years ago.
In recent months her name
has been linked in British
newspapers with several young
British mobiles who have es-
corted her to gay social events.

Grechko Is Reported
New Red Defense Aide

BERLIN, Nov, rs tP1.--Mar-
shall Andrea Grechko, COM
mander of Soviet forces in East
Germany. today was reported
BY a responsible source as un-
der orders to go to Moscow to
become Deputy Defense Min
lister.
Western intelligence sources
said yesterday that the Soviet
commander will be replaced in
East Germany by Army Gen.
Zakharov. Presumably this
meant Gen. Matvei v. Zakha-
row. who as recently. as three
weeks ago was commander Of
the Leningrad military district.
A promotion for Marshal
Grechko at present would sur
prise many Western observers,
since in the past he has been
identified with ousted Soviet
Defense Minister Marshal
Georgi Zhukov.
Gen. Zakharov is regarded as
q close associate of the new
Defense Minister. Marshal Ro-
dion Malinovsky. During the
last stages of World War II,
Gen. Zakharov was Marshal
Malinovsky's chief of staff.
Gen. Zakharov already has
arrived at the Soviet military
headquarters at Zossen Wuens-
dorf, IS miles southeast Of
Berlin. He was introduced to
Gen. Sir Dudley Ward, COM
mander Of the British Army of
the Rhine. who paid a courtesy
call on Marshal Grechko Fri
day.
Marshal Grechko commanded
the last Soviet establishment |
in East Germany for four years. |

crushed q revolt of German |
workers.

Gen. Moore, who has called

Sunday by making four
