friendly TO Americans even as
the people of the United States
are toward the people Of the
USSR.
Il found a common interest
in finding ways to peace" he
said Il heard on every side the
word mir druzhba'-peace and
friendship"
Dictates Speech
Mr.. Nixon, accompanied by
his wife and his 30-member
official party, flew into the
Soviet capital aboard a Rus
sian TU-104 jet. 1t whisked him
in 2 hours from the Ural indus
trial city of Sverdlovsk, $50
miles away.
In ending his stay in the
Soviet hinterland, Mr.. Nixon
appealed for world leaders to
settle their political disputes
so that Soviet and American
scientists could devote their
full time to peaceful atomic
work instead of atomic bombs.
ReactOr Building Started
Workers at the Beloyarsk
plant were beginning to pour
the foundations of a huge
concrete-walled reactor build
ing as Mr.. Nixon talked there.
Project engineers said there
would be only two reactor units,
instead of four as previously an
nounced. when work is finished
in 1861. a year later than orig
inally planned.
The twin reactors will each
turn out 100000 kilowatts of
electricity, sending it to the
giant power grid the Soviets
hope to build in this Ural
Mountain industrial region.
Replying to one of Admiral
Rickovers frequent questions,
Mr.. Semenkin reported the So
viets are building a second
atomic power plant at Voro-
nezh. Both are modelled after
the 5000 kilowatt prototype
constructed just outside Mos.
COW.
Admiral Rickover told news
men four atomic reactors we're
originally to have been built in
the plant and we're to have
been completed in 1959-60. So
Wet engineers said. however,
that the present plant when
completed could easily be ex-
banded.
Mr.. Nixon's final day in the
Sverdlovsk area saw none of
the street corner heckling which
occasionally irritated him on
his first days in Siberia. He and
the Soviet engineers steered
clear of foreign policy and
stuck to their hopes for peace
full uses of the atom.
I'VE agree. we agree" the
Soviets said frequently as Mr..
Nixon talked of the future.
Admiral Rickover, dressed in
civilian clothes, assured them
that despite his pioneer work
on the atomic submarine, he
was even more dedicated to
Harvesting atomic energy for
peace.
Prefers Work for Peace
I'D like to say I would much
rather work on atomic power
plants for peace than on mill
tary reactors," he said. But we
must remember that there is
very little difference in a tech
nology plant for central power
plants and for military use. 1
and all scientists, engineers,
men and women in my organi-
cation, hopefully look forward
to the day when we can devote
all our energies to peaceful use"
Mr.. Nixon reached the plant
site after travelling in q motor
cade over rough gravel and dirt
roads, churning huge clouds of
dust for IL miles of the trip
from the eastern Ural center CT
SverdlovSk.
His hour long visit, the first
to the site by Western leader,
ended his two-day tour of this
Ural area rarely opened to
foreigners.
1 In his speech tomorrow night
Mr.. Nixon is unlikely, aides
said, to mention his belief
that a visit by Premier Nikita
S. Khrushchev to the United
States would help relieve ten
sion. They explained that
since it's up to President Eisen-
hover to decide whether Mr.
Khrushchev should be in
vited, any public comment by
Mr.. Nixon would be improper.
However. Mr.. Nixon is expected
to make a strong recommended
ton to his chief that he in
vite the Soviet Premier.
+ Mr.. Nixon has given his COM
ing TV appearance a big build
up. During his four day swing
through Western Siberia, he
has told hecklers repeatedly to
tune him in and get answers to
