Sees Incident Possible
The President said today
that naturally there is a pos
sibility of incidents" here dur
ing Mr.. Khrushchev's visit. H,
said such things always wer'
a possibility in this country
as evidenced by the fact tina
1t is necessary TO provide specia
protection for the Presidents
family.
He added that I'VE have mo-
failed" to point out to thu
Soviet government the fac
that I'VE do have these un'
controlled individuals" wht
might cause unpleasant Incl
dents. The President added
II am certain, however, tina
we can control this matter"
Mr.. Eisenhower indicated
that he might accompany Mr.
Khrushchev on part of his tour
around the United States after
their meeting in Washington
but said he did not think il
would be feasible for him to g
all the way with the Soviet
Premier.

ident If there had been any
evidence of give as we'll a;
takee'e' by the Russians, re-
marking that there had beer
an impression that Mr.. Eisen-
hover wanted some evidence
of Soviet concessions before
meeting with Mr.. Khrushchev
Explains Insistence
The President said such q
condition did not apply to the
wholly exploratory" informal
talks he plans with the Soviet
Premier in which he will not
attempt any negotiations.
He explained that his insis.
lance on prior evidence Of ten.
sion-easing action by the So.
Wet applied to a summit meet.
ing. He went on to say hi
thinks a summit negotiation i.
impractical, or as the State De.
partment says, counter pro-
ductive," unless he could count
on some positive results.
He remarked that if the for.
eign ministers meeting at &C.
neva did not achieve results by
Wednesday that would justify
a summit conference, he woulo
hope that the ministers would

Groundwork Laid
Mr.. Eisenhower was asked
today if "hints" of a Khru.
shchev visit coming from Vict
President Nixon last weel
during his visit to Russia were
part of a plan for laying the
ground" for the Soviet Pre-.
mier coming here.
Mr.. Eisenhower replied thai
he had told Mr.. Nixon on the
day he left for Moscow about
his negotiations for an ex.
change of visits with Mr.
Khrushchev, so that the Bic
President would not be sur.
prised if the Soviet Premier
should open up the subject ir
talking with him. But the
President said he told Mr.
Nixon not to open any
discussion on the matter
himself.
While no top man in the
Red Russian hierarchy has ever
visited this country, the late
President Franklin D. Roose-
welt did visit Russia. In Feb.
ruary, 1945. Roosevelt, British
Prime Minister Winston
Churchill and Soviet Premier
Joseph Stain met at Yalta in
the Crimea in a conference
which has been a bone of con-
troversy to this day.
AS recently as his news con-
ference last Wednesday Mr.
Eisenhower was still talking
cagily about the possibility Of
a KhruShchev visit.
He said at that time that
Mr.. Nixon had every right tc
talk to Mr.. Khrushchev about
such a possibility, but the Vice
President had no authority tc
extend an invitation. Reports
from Moscow had indicated Mr.
Nixon already had preached
the matter to the Soviet leader
Misconceptions Seen
Mr.. Eisenhower is known tc
have long held the view that
under the right conditions il
would be a good idea for Mr.
Khrushchev-and for the tor
echelon of the Russian govern.
