amounted to a meticulously
proper welcome to the worlds
No. Communist. The Presi-
dent, who initiated the invita-
ton for the Kremlin chief to
come to this country, will re-
turn the visit later this year.
| Accompanying the Soviet
leader on his American visit
are Mrs. Khrushchey, a son.
Sergei; two daughters. Julia
and Rada, and a son-in-law.
Alexei I. Adzhubei, editor of
the official Soviet newspaper
Izvestia.
Pennant Brought
Mr.. Khrushchev's arrival was
preceded by less than 40 hours
by the successful Soviet moon
shot that brought plaudits from
scientists all over the world.
Jubilant over the spectacular
feat, the Premier brought
along for presentation to Mr..
Eisenhower a reproduction of
the pennant the Soviet rocket
planted on the moon.
The dramatic exchange Of
visits by the big Two" of the
East and West has fired i'm
aginations on both sides Of the
Iron Curtain as no event since
the beginning of the cold war
IA years ago.
Defining the purpose Of his
trip shortly before his depar-
ture, Mr.. Khrushchev said:
THE main thing we should
be after is to secure peaceful
conditions for the lives of all
people on earth"
The question Of joint occupa-
ton Of Berlin will be the thorn
lest issue facing the two leaders
when they sit down together for
the first of a series of informal
talks this afternoon. The de-
gree to which Mr.. Khrushchev
is willing to compromise on
Berlin may determine the pros
poets for a Big Four summit
conference later this fall.
Tightest Security
The Kremlin boss will be
ringed during his stay in WASH
ington and his cross-country
tour by the highest security
precautions ever thrown around
a visitor to this country.
Refugee groups antagonistic
to his visit have been placed
under close surveillance. The
unspoken fear in the minds of
security officers is the posi-
bility Of an attempt on the life
OF the Soviet leader by a would
be martyr among the thousands
of refugees from Communist
tyranny now living in the
United States.
The 15-mile parade route
from Andrews Field to Blair
House was guarded by more
than 1000 police, National
Guardsmen, soldiers, sailors and
Marines. Across the country
more than $4,000 police and
servicemen will join in provid-
ing a Gordon of protection for
Mr.. Khrushchev during his
American tour.
Officials expect the receptions
accorded the Soviet Premier on
his tour of the United States to
be cool, but they are hopeful
that Americans will treat Mr..
Khrushchev with the courtesy
requested by President Eisen-
hover.
Cross Country Tour
The Russian chief will remain
in Washington until Thursday
morning and then embark on a
cross-country tour that will in
clude stops in New York, Los
Angeles, San Francisco, Des
Moines and Pittsburgh. He is
scheduled to return here Sep
TENDER "a for further talks with
Mr.. Eisenhower and a probable
week end at Camp David before
his departure.
The highlights of his sched-
ule today were an afternoon
conference at the White House
and a state dinner in his honor
to be given by President Eisen-
hover tonight.
Vice President Nixon was not
in the welcoming delegation
at Andrews for protocol rea-
sons. He was to participate in
the White House meeting this
afternoon, however, along with
