MOSCOW, July 25.-It isn't
exactly politics - and heaven
knows it isn't diplomacy. From
the outset Vice President
NiXon's visit to Russia has
amounted to something new in
the way of international ex-
changes.
So far, at least, the political
earmarkS are outstanding. The
trip has all the atmosphere and
much of the organization of an
American presidential cam
paign, complete with brass
bands, soapboxes, press planes
and give hell speeches.
Mr.. Nixon, wading through the
mob passing out prefab auto
graphs. shaking hands, chat
ting at ,the top of his lungs
with old ladies, is every inch
the model candidate.
His struggling press corps,
fighting notebooks in hand to
keep up. buffeted by cops and
trampled by well-wishers, might
almost imagine themselves back
in Dubuque.
A Slow Start
And yet, as political exer-
else, the visit so far has one
large incongruity. 1t is as if
the two candidates, as the re-
suit of some dreadful miscal-
culation, suddenly found them
selves in the same place at the
same time, sitting on the same
platform. Even in American
politics, few antagonists would
like to be in the position of
walking, drinking and arguing
off -the-cuff together in the
full glare of the spotlight for
hours on end.
Mr. Nixon, it seems, didn't
entirely plan it this way. At
the beginning he seemed will

Nixon Schedules
Visit to Poland

MOSCOW, July Is (AP).-
Vice President Richard M.
Nixon will fly to Poland for
a two-day visit August 2 after
ending his 11-day visit to Rus
STA.
Mr.. NiXon'S decision was an
nounced today shortly after he
met with Soviet First Deputy
Premiers AnaStas I. Mikoyan
and Frol R. Kozlov during the
third day of his Soviet tour.
A spokesman for the Vice
President said Mr.. Nixon sched-
uled the visit to talk with
Poland's Communist chief
WadlySlaw Gomulka, partly be-
cause the SovietS refused to
allow him to leave by flying
over Eastern Siberia.

with his guest while the cam
eras ground away, recording
the scene on color TV film. 1t
seemed that Mr.. Nixon, at
tempting to be polite, was slow
in waking up.
Sharpness Grows
The Kitchen debate" which
followed however was another
matter. By this time a thor
oughly. aroused Nixon appar-
emily had sized up the situa-
ton. And in the course of their
examination of a model home
exhibit the debate resumed
with a new note of sharpness
on both sides.
The exchange, which lasted
nearly an hour, never reached
a very high level. Ranging all
the way from kitchen gadgets
to the relative strength Of
Russian and American rocketry,
it was confined largely to SIM
Pile pickering in which mis-
understanding of what the
other man was saying played
an important part. At some
moments it even seemed pos
sible that a separate argument
might develop between the OPP
posing interpreters over a
questionable point in the trans
lation.
Through it all, Mr.. Nixon
tried to get over one simple
point: Given the existing
strength of Russia and the
United States, an discussion OF
military advantage was beside
the point. Under no circum-
stances should either side be
put in the position of facing
an ultimatum in which sur
rendering or fighting were the
only two choices.
This point itself apparently
seemed like a threat to Premier
Khrushchev. Between bursts
of unrestrained Dragging about
Russian achievements in every
field, he was Stung to real
anger by the suggestion that
he was trying to dictate a set
Element in Europe or anywhere
else. Mr.. Nixon, he charged,
was trying to impress him.
But he could show the Vice
President things that would
impress him in return.
In their argument, both men
borrowed much of their ammu-
milton from the far more CO.
