1t Is surprising that few
people question the assump-
ton that Khrushchev is in
many ways ignorant of con-
ditions in the United States.
Hartman returned from Rus
STA stating that he found the
Soviet leader badly informed;
Nixon took up the same line,
then the President said he
would like to show Levittown
to Khrushchev so he can see
that the United States hous-
ing exhibit in Moscow Is
typical. A little thought ought
to convince Americans that
Khrushchev cannot be so
uniformed. Consider the size
Of the Soviet Embassy staff
in Washington; consider the
mass of reports that are
surely being sent to Moscow:
consider the ease with which
information Of such a nature
can be obtained in the
United States from personal
inspection. newspapers. off,
cial sources. Khrushchev's
purpose Is quite transparent.
He wants to minimize the eff
feet Of the housing exhibit on
the Soviet people. make them
think Americans are not as
far ahead Of them as is ac-
tually the case. How Khru-
shchev must chuckle when he
sees how this simple ruse has
pulled the wool over some

Premier Khrushchev's visit
and President Eisenhower's
return visit should not be
considered as missions Of
peace" but merely as oppor-
tunities to examine more
thoroughly and closely con-
fiicting world policies.
To interpret these infor-
NAL talks as gestures Of
good will" would be a mis-
conception. However, it is.

All the way from Union
Station And along the city's
parkAThe crowds sing their
hosannahs/ For the salesman
Of Karl Marx.
The day is warm and sun
ny/And trimming with good
will/But in j. Edgar's dwell
ing There's an autumnal
chill.
He looks out of his win
dow/And he views with
jaundiced eye/The hammer
and the sickle Beneath the
summer sky.
But then, let's all be jolly
And let no one frown, For
Khrushchev's in the White
House/And the Reds are on
the town.

We see that for Premier
Khrushchev's first American
visit it is planned to fly the
hammer and sickle flag from
Washington lamp posts. In
his plan to bury U.S." we can
only assume that he will
hang statesmen, congress-
men, and reporters from
lamp posts on his second
visit to Washington.

It was a shock to me. and
I believe it was to the aver
age citizen, when our Presi-
dent gave out the news that
he had invited a criminal like
Khrushchev to becomR q
guest Of the United States.
