But already the events that were to bring fame. fortune and the plaudits of a mighty Empire to one of the pair before they met sgsl-n. this time on Canadian soll.- were shaping lip.

One ol the men was Field Mar- shal Viscount Montgomery, the genius of military strategy who carved so many British victories in World War II. The man to whom he said goodbye was his brother, D. S. Montgomery, who gave up a military career to take up law.

Their lather, the late sir l-lenry Montgomery. former Bishop » of Tasmania. had been dead four years. and D. S. Montgomery had crossed a continent and an ocean to attend a family reunion.

When the gathering broke up. D. B. Montgomery returned to Canada to resume his niche in the slow, easy-going legal life o! Van- couver, His brother, uneasy at the growing might of the ‘brown- shirted hordes who seemed bent on pluning the world into war, went back to the study of military science.

Follows Brother's Exploits

.War came, and while "Monty" chalked up victory after victory on the far-flung battleﬁelds, hl-s brother followed the exploits through the radio and newspapers with grovwing- pride. Telephone calls and telegrams of congratu- lation poured into his home in beautiful Cypress Park, West Van- couver.

They did not surprise hirn. for he said that "Monty" had shown the qualities of leadership that were bringing him the victories even while they were still boys.

Then the news he had long awaited camo-"Monty" was com~ lnhto Canada for a visit.

e famed warrior is scheduled to reach Vancouver on his trans- Canads trip early in September and the whole Vancouver DIlIlCh of the famous family will be on hand to greet him.

D. B. Montgomery is one of "Monty's" four brothers. The oth- er three-two of them anny offic- ers like their famous brother- are scattered in widely-separated parts of the Empire.

One of D- 5. Montgomery's two sons. Jamel, a godson as well as a nephew-of Field Marshal Mont- gomery, served through the war with the British Merchant Navy. largely in the Mediterranean, and he pod furmcl i-n the war supplies needed by his uncle for the hard- fought North African desert cam-

pslgns.

File Appeal For Return I 0f 167 Vessels

(By Larry liauoh)

NEW YORK. Aug. 23- (AP)- The Government of Yugoslavia without mentioning the United States specifically. has filed an ap- peal with the United Nation: eco- nomic and social council for n- turn of 167 vessels held on the Upper Danube in the American occupation zorne.

The letter to the U. N. said the craft were of Yugoslav origin and had been removed by the Ger- man army during its retreat and remain in the hands of allied mill- tary authorities.

The note. received by the U. N. Aug, 13, was announced ‘hdny after the Moscow radio had tie- clared that Yugoslavia had filci a complaint against the United States with the powerful Security Council over seizure of the ‘vessels,

Yugoslav and U. ollicnls here said they knew of no such complaint to the Security Council.

Although the Ytigoslav note it- self was not connected with the current American-Yugoslav crisis. there was speculation in Untied

Jlations circles that Moscow may

have publicized the Belgrade com- gialnt at this time as an Jffset

American charges against Yugo- slavia.

Dr. Andrija Btampar, Yugoslav delegate to the U. N. and deputy chairman of the economic and so- clal council, said he had asked that the question be placed on the

enda, for» the council's next scu- son scheduled to open Sept 11. He added that he knew cf nn in- tentions by Marshal Tim's Gnu" ernment to move the matter to the Security Council.

47th Baitalton qld was demohll-

lzed as s captain.

The reunlcn with his brother will be short. for "Monty" ls scheduled to spend only one day in Vancouver and much of it will be taken up by official functions.
