Different Pattern
The recent Khrushchev

friends south of the border.

will go into four days per-
hitting more engagements.

plans to take President Lopez
MateoS up to Camp David
just as he did Mr.. Khru-
Shchev.
The two heads of state will
take leave of their wives on
Saturday morning to go to
the Presidential retreat.
They return 'on Sunday.
It is expected that that
day Mrs. Lopez Mateos and
their daughter will move out
to the embassy after spend
ing Friday night at The
Presidents Guest House. If
not, they will move there on
Sunday when they will be
rejoined by the Mexic a n
President.
Plans call for Mrs. Lopez
Mateos to visit Children'S
Hospital and st. AIMS In
FAINT Home on Saturday. Any
entertaining that day will
most likely be private.
On Sunday President and
Mrs. Lopez Mateos will be
the luncheon guests of Sec
rotary of the Navy and Mrs.
FRANKIE. This party will take
place aboard the Sequoia

the river.
President and Mrs. Lopez
