State Departmental
Seen for Tour Of u. s!
By11 Soviet Students

~ SVVIVt SIuUCIIiS
After months of delay, the
State Department is reported
ready to recommend that IL
Russian student editors" be
permitted to visit the United
States. =
Barring some last minute
hitch. Attorney General Brown
ell is expected to waive a provi.
sion Of the McCarran-Walter Act
which bars Communists from the
country. The ruling would be
based upon the contention that
waiver is in the national
interest"
Among those indorsing the
inspection tour is Representative
Walter, Democrat, of Pennsyl,
.yania, co-author of the law.
Fifteen Applied Earlier.
Fifteen Russian student edi-
tors" applied for visas last sum-
mer but they were turned down
with an explanation that most
American schools were not then
in session. 1t was suggested
that their requests be renewed
later.
Eleven of the would-be visi-
tors reapplied last fall. In the
months their case has been
under consideration Communist
propagandists have chided the
United States for keeping the
editors from coming here. ::
1t appears that at least some
members of the group are not
actually students but edit publi-
cations supplied to high school
and college students. Officials
here have noted that the ages
of those who applied range up to
IS years.
There is a growing belief in
Washington that it may soon be
necessary to reach a high-level
policy decision on what to do
about the increasing requests of
Russian private citizens for
American visas. The decision
may have to come from the Ma
tional Security Council.
State Department sources in
Dictated today that present
chances are good for favorable
consideration of proposal to
admit a delegation of Soviet
Union farmers. The Des Moines
Register recently suggested that
the Communist delegation be
permitted to visit the corn and
hog belt of Iowa in an exchange
which would send American
farmers on an inspection tour of
Russian farms.
Endorsed by President. r
At one point the State De-
partment was reported to be cool
to the suggestion but the report
subsequently was termed mac
curate. President Eisenhower
Endorsed the farmer exchange
proposal at his news conference
last week provided all obstacles
could be removed.
There also is a possibility that
Russia's Olympic rowing crew
will be brought to Washington
this spring to participate in q
race on the Potomac River.
Such a proposal was advanced
last month by Clifford A. (Tippy)
Goes, chairman of the United
States Olympic Rowing Commit
tee. The Soviet crew finished
second to the United States at
the Helsinki Olympic games in
1852. = =
Mr.. Goes proposed that the
Russian crew be invited to par
ticipate in a special race to be
arranged in connection with the
Eastern Sprint Regatta in WASH
ington May IA. He said it might
be race between the Russians
and the Eastern Sprint Cham
pions or with the American coll
leges finishing first, second and
third.
