ETE LY ITTETEIRENR YT; SECS RERE) " FERRER RAST RRESS Fat site Montgomery To Retire His Command Sept. 20 By SIDNEY TAYLOR 1 LONDON (Reuters) -- Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery of Alamein -- "Monty" to all his troops--is to retire as deputy su- preme allied commander in Eu- rope on Sept. 20. Officially, the men who led the British 8TH Army in victory through North Africa to Central Italy will "withdraw from active, employment in the British army*" --for a field marshal never really retires. Monty is 70--20 years older than Gen. Lauris Norstad, the supreme commander. During the 10 years spent in the cause of Western de- fence, he has been a kind of in- tellectual gadfly to the military leaders of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Slim, wiry, with clear blue- grey eyes, ruthless self-discipline] and relentlessness in pursuing a point, he attributes his still-buoy-| ant health and great mental and} physical energy to the spartan life he leads. Sir Winston Churchill once de- scribed him as '"'a Cromwellian figure, austere, severe, tireless." GREATEST MOMENT soldier since Wellington, He fought the war in a sweater, flannel or corduroy trousers and a two-badge black beret, After his triumph in North Africa, which changed the course of the war, he commanded the British group of armies under Gen. Dwight Eisenhower in the libera- tion of Europe. Then he became chief of the imperial general staff, the senior military post in Britain. His services to western defence have, in the opinion of Gen. Nor- stad, been "immeasurable." NATO SUCCEEDED Montgomery maintains that the main purpose of NATO, the pre- vention of war, has been achieved by the nuclear deterrent. The danger of premeditated war, in {his view, has been pushed back. The nations of Western Europe have been given confidence that they could meet, and withstand an aggressor. He has argued that would strive to gain Europe in an economic war rather than by armed aggression which would lead to its own destruction. As to Sputniks, they are, he believes, GIVEN UP FOR DEAD In the First World War, he was badly wounded in the retreat from Mons -- so badly that a grave was prepared for him. But he survived to go home to re- |ceive the Distinguished Service Order and a captaincy. At 27, he was a brigade major. After that war, he went to a staff college, and acquired strong ideas of his own on tactics and strategy. When posted again, he conducted his own military clas- ses, but what he taught was not what he had learned at the staff college. His message seemed to {be, 'forget the old parade ground | stuff." | Higher military authorities frowned on his unorthodox ideas, but he helped to produce an in- fantry training manual By middle age, he was a lieu- tenant - colonel in Palestine, de- veloping an almost puritanical |austerity in his way of living, rose early to read the Bible. |poPULAR WITH MEN | In Egypt, in 1931, he learned more about how to lead men and He has been in continuous com-|the forerunners of a new military became popular with them in- [nim some pet canaries.

In North Africa, his headquar- lters were a caravan. He had with his lower commanders into his | confidence. On the eve of big bat-| tles, he was in the trenches or at gun sites, addressing big gather- ings of men. |SUPER-CAUTIOUS | His strange attire, unusual ap- proach and surprising speech aroused much comment. Some did not know quite what to make of him. Was he conceited, an ec- centric, a showman or just his natural self, they wondered. The fact remains that he had created a leader in which the sol- diers believed. He was on human terms with his men, and they would have followed him any- where. He was methodical and super-cautious.
