Nixon Talk
AT Moscow
Gets on TV

NEW YORK, July Is (AP).-
The video tape recording of the
sizzling exchange between Vice
President Nixon and Russian
Premier Khrushchev was re-
leased tonight.
A snarl of confusion that
reached half way around the
world and apparently involved
State Department efforts not to
offend the Russians had first
threatened to delay indefinitely
the first American showing.
Just exactly how it was all
Strengthened out was not clear
even yet, but the three major
networks promptly put the dra-
matte face-to-face wrangle on
their II o'clock evening news
shows, NBC eChannel 4 in
Washington will also show the
tape in color Sunday night at
7 o'clock.
The video tape recording ar
rived here by plane Saturday
morning and was scheduled to
have been shown at various
times over the week end.
But word came from the
State Department that Ameri-
can showing of the 16-minute
color recording was to be held
up until a copy could be made
and sent to Moscow for stimuli
taneous transmission over
Russian TV.
Apparently this problem was
solved. There was no immediate
word, however, as to when the
Russians would televise the dis
cuSSion.

Visitors Entrance
Made the Hard Way

SCOTTSDALE. Ariz. (AP).-
Charles M. Anderson Of Has
tings, Nebr., a winter visitor in
Scottsdale, paid an unexpected
visit to Postmaster o. c. Wilson.
Mr.. Anderson drove to the
front of the post Office building,
hit the accelerator pedal in
stead of the brakes and his
auto blasted through the wall
of the postmaster's office. Mr..
Wilson was knocked from his
chair, but was not injured.

Of threats or ultimatums.
But in the eyes of the Rus

All of this weighing of re-
spac..ye strengthS involves the
idea expressed more than a CEN
fury ago by the Prussian mill

Clausewitz-that application of
military force is an extension of
diplomacy to impose the will
of one nation on another.
Clausewitz is outdated now.
If massive nuclear-military
power is applied today. it won't
impose merely will but eradi-
cation mutually.

tons could be the result.
When Mr.. Khrushchev says
Russian rockets are better than
American weapons and Mr..
Nixon says the United States
has good ones too, each is
relying on what his military
scientists and strategists tell
him.
Neither Mr.. KhruShchev nor
MI. Nixon is a military pro-
fe5sional. The Russian Pre-
mier was a political general
in World War II, Mr.. Nixon a
reserve commander IN the
Navy.
Quarrel Over Missiles
In their "my-brother-can-
licH-your-brother' arguments,
they must depend on the evalu-
atoms of their respective mill
tary professionals. And the.en-
thusiasm of military men for
things they create or plans they
devise can over-reach actual
attainment.
The two men tossed words
about their missiles at each
other. But except for the prim-
tive, Snort-range weapons used
in the closing days of World
War II, ballistic missiles never
have been tried in actual COM
bat. And the w missiles used
then were German, not Russian
or American.
There is considerable differ
ence between launching a bal
lIstic missile under the care
fully arranged conditions of a
test and firing one in the fran
tic atmosphere of war. An
enemy wouldn't wait for long
count-downS.
Missile Accuracy Important
Nor, at this present stage of
the art of missiles, is launching
reliability the only problem.
There is the matter of hitting
what you aim at. American
experts express belief that while
Russia may at the moment be
ahead in propulsion, it trails in
the field of guidance. Again,
this is the opinion of one group
of military men.
This may explain, in part,
Mr.. KhruShchev's loud demand
for removal of United States
bases in Europe. The impor-
lance of accuracy in guidance
lessons as the range ShortenS;
it is easier to aim an inter-
mediate range ballistic missile
IRBM) than to hope to hit
a target at $500 miles with
an lntercontinental ballistic
missile (ICBM.
Pit Mr.. Khrushchev's con-
Germ over American bases in
L.Iope OBVIOUSLY isn't confined
to missiles launching pads. Phe
United States is only beginning
to deploy a comparatively few
1RBM missile units abroad.
Z2rOed on Targets
What also concerns the So
Wet Premier is the presence Of
medium range bomberS and
shorter-range light bomoers
and fighter-bomberS, each Ca

ton, on airdromes in England
and on the continent, trimming

These aircraft would work
with the long-range B-52 bomb
ers, and probably would be
called upon to make the first
retaliatory strikes before the
B52S could reach Russian tar
gct areas.
To the long-range and me-
dunn bombers must be added
the nuclear weapon planes of
the United States Navy, with
carriers in the Mediterranean
and Eastern Atlantic.

and I am glad you were able
to talk" Mr.. Nixon replied.
He ran into the same theme
when he called on the Agri-
culture Minister for luncheon.
THE Soviet people" said
Mr.. Matskevich, were sur
priSed and alarmed that the
Senate passed the captive peo-
hples' resolution. We were pre-
pared for a peaceful and
friendly welcom for Mr.. and
Mrs. Nixon"
I'VE will have differences
from time to time" Mr.. Nixon
replied. I'VE disagree with your
comments on this resolution
When Khrushchev refers
to us as imperialists or colon
ialists we do not like it, and
reaction is adverse. But we re-
spect his right to say it.
I'VE believe in the competi-
ton of ideas and there must be
competition of ideas to gain
the greatest progress for the
world. We hope we can have
an everlasting friendship be-
tween our two peoples"
KozlOv Visit Friendly
| Mr.. Nixon's meeting with Mr.
Kozlov appeared friendly. The
Vice President said that I'VE
have been very pleased by our
! reception by people in all walks
of life"
Before Mr.. Nixon arrived,
however. Mr.. Kozlov told news
men: IF the Senate had not
adopted the resolution on So
called enslaved people the Vice
President's) trip would have
been better. Now that spells
the atmosphere"
Mr.. Nixon laughed of an
other Soviet gripe-the lack OF
trade between the two coun-
tries-when he met Mr.. Miko-
yam. MI. Nixon introduced Mr.
Mikoyan to Harold BoeSchten-
stein, president of Owens Corn
ing Fiberglas Corp.
He is one of our leading
businessmen with much expert
ence around the world" Mr.
Nixon said. Il thought you two
business minded men should
get together"
The State Department will
decide" replied Mr.. Mikoyan,
referring to United States re-
strictions on trade in strategic
goods with Communist nations
Will Talk to Gomulka
The announcement of the
Vice Presidents decision to visit
Poland came from the press
representative, Mr.. Kline. Mr.
Nixon will have talks with
Wladyslaw Gomulka, chief OF
the Polish Communist Party in
Warsaw. He will visit one other
unnamed Polish city. Polish
leaders are known to be eager
to talk with Mr.. Nixon.
Mr.. Kline said Mr.. Nixon will
exchange views with Polish
leaders and will meet many OF
the Polish people as well. 1t
seemed significant that Mr..
Nixon decided to visit Po-
land during Captive Nations
Week. Poland is one of the ma
lions which, in the United
States view. has fallen under
Soviet Communist domination.
The Communist Party News
paper Pravda carried another
bitter attack on the observ-
ance, declaring it "a coarse
dirty venture of American
imperialists."
Debate Published
Both Pravda and the Govern
ment newspaper Izvestia pub
lished long versions of the
Nixon Khrushchev debate at
the United States exhibition
grounds yesterday on such sub
jectS as ultimatums in interna-
tional negotiations and threats
to peace. Moscow radio broad
cast the newspapers sum-
maries.
Only Mr.. Nixon'S less pointed
remarks were quoted directly.
But Pravda and Izvestia gave
plenty of space to Mr.. Khrush-
chev's comments.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-07-26

II don't know whether this
is a coincidence or not"
Mr.. Klein emphasized that
the comments he volunteered
were his personal opinions. But,
as Mr.. Nixon's special press
aide he would not have made
this public comment unless 1t
had the Vice Presidents ap
proval.
Mr.. Klein spoke out on the
touchy censorship issue, which
has marred Mr.. Nixon's good
will visit, after reporting that
Mr.. Nixon and Mr.. Khrush-
chev snapped friendly toasts
to peace and friendship at to-
nights roast beef dinner.
Mr.. Klein disclosed that In
Mr.. Nixon's name he had
lodged repeated strenuous pro-
tests" at the Soviet Foreign
Office over rules which have
blocked or delayed some parts
of dispatches about the Vice
Presidents activities.
In answering questions. he
reported the Soviet govern
ment has backed down on a
previcNs demand that Ameri-
can newsmen going with Mr..
Nixon to Siberia Tuesday be
limited to IL persons.
Reversed by Reds
The Soviet officials reversed
themselves during the day and
agreed that up to 100 Ameri-
can newsmen could go with
him.
But, Mr.. Klein reported the
Soviets had suddenly directed
that all photographs of the
Nixon visit must be developed
beforehand and shown to So
Wet authorities to make sure
they are objective" Soviet Gus
toms officers halted a suitcase
full of undeveloped film just as
it was about to leave Moscow
airport aboard an American jet
airliner for London.
Mr.. Klein also reported he
had made mo Roadway what
ever "in protesting censorship
on dispatches by resident
Western correspondents re-
porting on Mr.. Nixon's round
of hand shaking and meetings
with top Soviet authorities.
