home displayed in the Ameri-
can exhibition in Moscow.
He added that he would like
to see Mr.. Khrushchev fly in
his helicopter around WASH
ington and see all the fine
homes that have been built in
the area. He mentioned also
Levittown, built near the Fair
less steel plant in Pennsylvania
where the homes are largely
those of steel workers.
He also would like the Rus
sian leader to see American
farmers operating successfully
on their own-not regimented.
81 Worked" He Says
And he would like for Mr..
Khrushchev to go to the little
town where he grew up-Abi-
lene, Kans.-and talk to old
timers there who could tell him
from first hand knowledge
"how hard worked until I
was Il and went to West Point"
Mr.. Eisenhower said.
He recalled that Mr.. Khru-
shchev had said to Vice Presi-
dent Nixon, during Mr.. Nixon's
recent visit to Russia, that
You never worked-what do
you know about working?"
The President added firmly
that he can show the Soviet
leader that Il worked"
Mr.. Eisenhower said he did
not intend to accompany Mr..
Khrushchev on his tour of the
country unless something I'M
usual" came up.
Asked what he would like to
see for himself when he goes
to Russia later in the fall, the
President said, I'D like to have
a few days to see the people
more than anything else"
Won't Press Invitation
Mr.. Eisenhower said he had
given instructions that Mr..
Khrushchev be specifically in
vited to see some military in
stallationS in this country on
the theory that he might like
to get an idea of America
strength. He said he would
give the Soviet Premier a pretty
wide choice of what to see.
But the President emphasized
that he would not press such
an invitation. The Soviet Pre-
mier has said he would not be
interested in seeing military in
stallations here because he Just
wants to talk peace.
Mr.. Eisenhower said if Mr.
Khrushchev does not want to
include military things in his
tour that is that"
He added that he had not
asked for any "quid pro quo
that is, he had not asked to see
any Soviet military installa-
tons when he goes to Russia.
Seeks Better Atmosphere
When Mr.. Eisenhower walked
Into a gymnasium turned into
a temporary White House press
room here for his first wide
open press conference outside
Washington, the first question
asked him was what results
he hoped for in his Forthcoming
talks with Mr.. Khrushshev.
He replied that he hopes for
"a lettering of the atmosphere"
in East-West relations.
He quickly emphasized that
he by no means intends for his
meeting with the Soviet Pre-
mier to turn into any real ne
gotiation of problems dividing
the East and West.
He stressed again that he
has no intention of becoming
a spokesman for the West
that he can talk only for the
United States.
Hopes Visitor Will Learn
What he hopes to do. the
President said, is to bring a
somewhat better situation in
relations between the United
States and the Soviet Union.
And there is the hope, he
added. that the Soviet Premier
will learn something about this
country.
For a possible summit meet
ing that some think may fol-
low Mr. Khrushchev's visit
here. Mr. Eisenhower said his
condition still is that there
must be some discernible prog
ress toward solving some of the
problems causing tension in
the world.
One of the things he wants
to ask Mr.. Khrushchev, he
added, is why he won't allow
such progress.
Isn't Reversing Dulles
In response to a.question, the
President said the decision to
invited Mr.. Khrushchev to this
country was "far from a rever-
sal" of policy of the late Secre-
tary of State John Foster
