East German Premier

premier, and by Foreign Minister
Lotha Bolz.
On hand to greet them were
Foreign Minister v. M. Molotov,
party boss Nikita Khrusfchev,
Deputy Premier Mikail Pervu-
kiln, Lazar Kaganovich and
Georgi Malenkov. Premier Niko-
Ilai Bulganin, who is i'll, was not
present. There has been no hint
so far as to what ails the Co.
|year-old premier.
The Big Three Western am
bassadors did not show up for
the airport reception because
their countries do not recognize
the East German government.
There was no parade. When
Mr.. Grotewohl and his group
drove into town they went
through practically empty
streets.
In a brief airport speech Pre-
mier Grotewohl said.
I'VE hope that our talks here
in Moscow will show all the
people Of Germany that the
amicable relations between the
USSR and the German Demo-
cratic (East) Republic CORE
spends to the interests Of the
peoples of Germany and the
interests of all the world"

! Meanwhile, far to the south
Hurricane Hilda slapped the
IYucatan Peninsula early today

development would take place
while he was away from the
capital.
It was q colorflil experience in
an area which few people ex-
cepting Berbers and French mil
itary men know much about. The
occasion was one Of the irregular
pilgrimages made by the tribe
ito the shrine Of their patron
saint. Sid Ali, at a place called
Ell Mers.
Most of the tribal excursion is
of a solemn religious nature. but
yesterday-the day Of the resi-
dent generals visit-was strictly
social.
Reporters and camermamen
dusty and bedraggled, got there
before the general. who took a
plane most of the way from
Rabat. They arrived to find the
party already in full swing.
Berber tents covered an area OF
perhaps a square mile around
the base of a small hill crowned
by the shrine of Side Ali. A short
distance away from the encamp-
lment a huge ceremonial tent had
been pitched. The floor was
covered with rugs. Cushions had
been arranged for dining around

Harland Bartholomew. COM
mission chairman, said he feels
the action resolves most Of the
problems" and leaves only two
really ceucial matters still up In
the air.
One, he said, is the precise 10.
cation OF the Smithsonian In.

alton Of development costs tx

financed by the District anc

Most important Of the specific
items Endorsed by the planners
yesterday, meanwhile, was agree
ment that retail shopping facili-
ties for the entire Southwest

gle Town Center"
The 14.l-acre center would be
located between Third and Sixth

ately south Of the 76-acre pilot
project, Area B. This project
will be developed exclusive OF

into the area as a representative
for all news agencies. Mr.. Rickett
praised both the Chinese and
American Red Cross.
II haven't been speaking Eng
fish for a long time," he said.
Mr.. Rickett said he confessed
to espionage Is days after he
was arrested July Is, 1918
months after the start Of the
Korean war
II collected the information
and I was guilty." he said in q
low, steady voice.
Mr.. Rickett wore gray Stacks
and a gray-brown shirt. his hair
was untidy but he was clean
shaver. He carried a small shaw
ing kit.
Chinese Were 'Lenient'
"The Chinese government was
leinient with me. They could
have sentenced me to 10 years
but gave me only six and re-
leased me after four" he said.
I'm afraid 40 years Is a long
time in anybody's life. Consid-
ering the situation. I was treat
ed excellently. At all times my
treatment was the same as the
other Chinese prisoners. but !.
as a foreigner I was given more
food"
Asked whether he feels he has
been indoctrinated by the Reds.
Mr.. Rickett replied, Il have read
the Chinese papers and progress
sive articles"
He said he passed military in
formation to unnamed United
States consular officials and to q
British Embassy second secre-
tary whom he identified as Ted
Youde and to a Dutch Legation
he named as Miss Helen
Van Der Hofen. Presumably the
latter two were in Peiping OF the
time.
