U.K. Ambassador Host To
Malenkov, Labour Group
LONG TALKS AFTER DINNER
By FRASER WIGHTON
Reuter's Special Correspondent
Moscow, Aug. 12.
Mr Georgi Malenkov and Soviet leaders last night discussed "peace- ful co-existence," East-West trade and other outstanding issues for two hours with the British Labour Party delegation.
The Soviet Premier spent five hours at the British Embassy, where he dined with Mr Clement Attlee's group as guests of Sir William Hayter, the British Ambassador.
It was the first visit of a Soviet Premier to the Embassy since the late Joseph Stalin conferred with Sir Winston Churchill there during the
war.
After the dinner, the Soviet leaders and the British delegation of eight split up into small groups in the Embassy's richly decorated "white room," to dis- cuss world affairs.
Mr Malenkov and his Foreign Minister, Mr Vyacheslav Molotov, joined Mr Aneurin Bevan, leader of the Labour Party's left wing; Mr Morgan Phillips, Party Secretary, Dr Edith Summerskill and Mr Wilfred Burke, Party Chairman, for private talks.
