Nash’s Grandfather Annoyed Khrushchev
(Rec. 9 p.m.) LONDON. April 26. There was one awkward moment when the New Zealand Prime Minister. Mr Nash, met the Soviet Prime Minister. Mr Khrushchev, last week. It came when Mr Nash mentioned that his grandfather had been to Russia in the last century—“and had a rather rough time.” said the “News Chronicle” diarist today. “How was that?” asked Mi Khrushchev. “He fought in the Crimean War,” said Mr Nash.
A visible cloud passed across Mr Khrushchev's face. “You mean he came here to attack us,” he said. The conversation turned to other things, but Mr Khrushchev kept returning to Mr Nash’s grandfather and mentioned it five or six times, the diarist said. "Your grandfather came here I and tried to take the country i from us.” said Mr Khrushchci eventually. I The last word went to Mr Nash. “When he got back home, he died of wounds. I suppose I he died for what he thought was i worthwhile,” he said.
