It was with considerable
shock that / read Mr.. Law
rence's article in Mondays
Star. Mr.. Lawrence said that
Mr.. Khrushchev "brazenly
gives support to a war. etc."
referring to the troubles in
Laos. This is a most delicate
time in our relations with
the coming Premier's visit to
the United States and Mr..
Eisenhower's visit to Moscow. :
Mr.. Lawrence's article is nee
essarily inflammatory and
without any proof Of his use
Of the phrase ''brazenly"
gives support, etc.
I know of no brazen evil
dence Of support by Moscow
Of the Communist attack on
Laos. II Peiping supports this
attack. so far 1t is only q
reasonable surmise, and only
a surmise, not necessarily
even reasonable that Mr..
Khrushchev supports" this
attack. ! believe that Mr..
Khrushchev is too wise to be
involved in the Laotian affair
at this time.
It would be no surprise to
me II Mr.. Lawrence in his
lifetime reports q defensive
alliance between the Soviets
and the western powers
against China.

In connection with Khru-
shchev's visit, I have not seen
any mention as yet as to
where he and his family will
worship while in, this coun-
try. Can 1t be that this item
in his itinerary will not come
under consideration?

] am the mother Of one Of
the several thousand Ameri-
can flyers who were lost with
their planes In Europe, and
mostly over Russian territory
in World War II, and who
have never been found: so I
would like to suggest that
the American people be nice
to Khrushchev on his visit
here. BY being polite and
courteous, maybe the parents
Of these boys will find out
what happened to their sons.
By being antagonistic and
insulting. these parents may
never find out. In this case,
courtesy would be the best
policy.

Numberless individuals and
patriotic and religious organ
izations are writing letters and
publishing advertisements in
the newspapers protesting
against Khrushchev's visit.
Notable in this effort is
"The Committee Against
Summit Entanglements."
In his country. Khrushchev
would not permit any such
appeals to public opinion.
That is why millions Of Rus
slams would leave Russia, If
they could.
He may think President
Eisenhower would like to stop
these advertisements here. II
so, he is mistaken. The Presi-
dent said at his press con-
ference on August IS: "Peo-
pie have opposed this idea
(Mr. Khrushchev's visit)
publicly and through adver-
tisements. That, to my mind,
is one Of the lessons he
(Khrushchev) can learn. We
don't resent it. Every one in
this country :. . is at liberty
to express his opinions. I
think that is one of the fine
lessons he can learn, and 1t
may have some effect"
If instead of CHI eering
crowds, and bouquets of
flowers, Khrushchev sees
thousands looking at him in
cold silence, he will know
that this country is standing
behind the President as he
resists every unjust demand
Khrushchev makes.
