Khrushchev Gets
Official Invitation
To Scandinavia

MOSCOW, Feb. rs (AP)'.-
Premier Nikita Khrushchev to-
day was officially invited to
visit Scandinavia.
Diplomatic sources said the
Ambassadors Of Denmark, Nor
way and Sweden extended the
invitation during personal visits
to Soviet Foreign Minister An
drei Gromyko.
The sources said they felt
the invitation was made during
British Prime Minister Mac
millan'S visit to reduce opposi-
ton at home to the Khrushchev
visit.
The Khrushchev visit to
Scandinavia would be in return
for visits here in 1855 of Pre-
miers of Norway, Denmark and
Sweden. Mr.. Khrushchev's re-
turn visit has been long de-
layed because of the repercus-
sions on Scandinavian public
opinion of the way Soviet
troops smashed the Hungarian
revolution.
Diplomatic sources said the
Scandinavian governments APP
parently feel that the Macmil-
Ian visit has to some extent
made it easier for them to re-
ceive Mr.. Khrushchev. Russia
has not yet replied to the invi-
tation. the sources said.

President Set
ToAVOid Part
In 80 Choice

President Eisenhower made 1t
clear today he will not attempt
TO influence the selection of the
Republican presidential NOM
inee in 1860.
He told his press conference
he is interested in preserving
the face" of the G. o. P. as a
party that stands for progress
and advancement of the econ
omy, but without weakening
the country with unwise spend
ing and taxes. That, he added,
is the facade Of the party as
he sees it.
A reporter tried to draw him
out on possible Republican
nominees by reminding him
that in his National Press Club
speech last month he said he
could name a dozen men he
could support. The reporter
said only two have been prom
inently mentioned ian obvious
reference to Vice President
Nixon and Gov. Rockefeller of
New York;, and asked Mr.. Eli
senhower if he thought any Of
the others would get into the
race.
Sees Backing for Dozen
Mr.. Eisenhower quickly ex-
planned that he meant there
were at least a dozen men ha
could support in the election
if any of them won the nomi-
nation.
Presumably referring to the
nominating convention, the
President added that he would
carefully avoid saying he was
for or against anyone.
But a political party has a
face by which it is known, he
continued, and expressed his
belief that some of the features
of this face have been distorted
unfairly in the case of the
Republican Party.
Other Issues
On other issues the President
made these comments:
/. Wage increases are not in
/ f1ationary if measured by an
accompanying increase in pro-
ductivity. 1t may be that the
steel industry could meet an
increase on that basis without
raising prices, as suggested by
Senator Kefauver, Democrat of
Tennessee, but the President
said he had not heard that
specific suggestion before. He
haStened to add that we should
not be so prone to decry
profits, because the people are
demanding a wide variety of
services from Government, and
the revenue to furnish them
| is obtained only by taxing
profits, not the business itself.
2. The United States would
be making a great mistake if
it began raising tariffs because
of situations like the IVA pur-
chase of a turbine in Great
Britain. Mr.. Eisenhower said
American industry should try
to keep its costs down and lib
eralize foreign trade.
3. Asked about the American
Bar Association recommended
ton that Congress pass laws to
strengthen internal security
against some decisions of the
Supreme Court, Mr.. Eisenhower

WORLD PEACE SERIOUSLY
A

Perhaps, very seldom after the second great war
has the world faced, as 1t is now, such a grave crisis
threatening the peace, determined by Russia'S attitude
OF hostility and violation of categorical international
agreements, AS everybody knows, the Kremlin's pre-
tension in the sense of making their political and mill
tary whim prevail in Berlin, has forced the western
powers, and especially the United States of America, to
adopt a vertical position in the defense of their rights
concerning the former German capital.
The world has to condemn, once more, this new Sow.
e. aggression to world peace. This threat hanging over
all the nations of the globe, with consequent anxiety,
is due only to RussiaS imperialistic policy.
Dramatically, conscious of his immense historical
responsibility, the President Of the United States ratified
MS countrys position in his significant speech of Monday
nlgnt. with a firm voice and clear concepts, Eisenhower
toid Russia again that the c~OnsummatiOn of her arbi-
trary and libertykilling plans regarding Berlin will
not be tolerated. The Moscow hierarchs want to submit
TWO million residents in West Berlin to communist
bondage, and to place the affairs of that important zone
IN the control of a puppet government responding to
1t is hoped that the leaders Of the communist
oligarchy the few ones controlling the greatest power
ever achieved by any Dictatorship will grasp the
seriousness OF the situation and the determination of
the United States and all the western powers not tn
allow Russia to make her first move in the definite
aggression she would carry out If she ever succeeded
In making her wishes prevail in the old German capita.
