Americans Give Restrained Welcome To Bouncy, Jovial Nilita khrushchev
By WILLIAM L. RYAN

WASHINGTON, LR - Bouncy and jovial, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev told Americans to- day they and the Russians would be better off if they concentrated on peaceful pursuits - such as raising fine turkeys.
 ! If we don't give a capitalist turkey and a Communist turkey a passport, no one would know the difference" quipped the beaming boss of world Commun- ism during tour of the Depart ment of Agriculture's huge ex- perimental farm at nearby Belts vile, Md
 If Khrushchev was in a gay mood, his host, President Eisen- how displayed a more somber outlook. The President told two White House callers this morning he hoped the Khrushchev visit might do some good toward easing world tensions.
 The visit to the farm preceded the Soviet Premier's major ad- dress before an audience of news paper writers.
 The Communist boss, exponent in his own country of thorough going agricultural reform, was told at Beltsville by Agriculture Secretary Ezra Taft Benson that capitalism helped the American farmer develop food production to degree unequalled anywhere in the world.
 Our farmers are free, efficient, creative and hard working" Ben son told the Soviet chief.
 Khrushchev dropped a hint of his primary theme Tuesday night. In an exchange of toasts with President Eisenhower during White House state dinner, the Soviet leader noted that the United States and the USSR are too strong to permit quarreling between them.

 Truman said former New York Gov. w. Averell Hartman had invited him to the Khrushchev reception at Harriman's town house.

Jupiter Missile Carrying Miniature Zoo Explodes After Launching

CAPE CANAVERAI, lR - A Jupiter missile carrying IA preg- nant mice and two frogs exploded today 10 seconds after launching.
 The shot was to have been a test of the effects of space flight on the tiny animals and several other biological samples packed in the nose cone.
 The would-be space travellers met a fiery death when the Jupi- ter blew apart about 1000 feet in the air.
 Pieces of the vehicle fell back on the launching area but no one in the area was hurt.
 The Department of Defense an- nounced that the range safety of ficer deliberately destroyed the big missile when his instruments detected a malfunction.

Imaginative
 Protests Made to Khrushchev Visit
(By The Associated Press)

Up and down the land symbols of mourning are cropping up and prayerful services are being held as some Americans express their protest or concern over the visit of Soviet Premier Khrushchev.
 But few of the demonstrations have personally touched the So- viet leader and they are generally quiet and solemn, not. violent.
 The American people appeared to be almost unanimously adher- ing to President Eisenhower's re- quest for polite, courteous treat ment of an important foreign visitor
 Many of the protests showed more imagination than anger.
 A Hungarian refugee tried to put a black blindfold over the eyes of the State of Liberty, but the cloth dropped from the stat ue's crown and was torn away by the wind.
 A paper plant at Holyoke, Mass. and St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Cathedral in Buffalo, NY, both flew flags upside down. A cathe- dral spokesman explained the up- side down flag was distress sig nal.
 A skywriting plane drew a huge cross over Washington skies as KhruShchev was driven into the capitol-"Just a symbol of our faith" sponsored by an anti Communist religious group.
 The Soviet Premier may also have been able to hear the hymn Faith Of Our Fathers" tolled by church bells as the caravan went past the White House.

 Resigns Saying Board Ineffective

WASHINGTON, LR - Louis J. Hector resigned today as a mem Der of the Civil Aeronautics Board. He told President Eisen- hover that civil aviation is far too important ito be hobbled by a regulatory system which does not work"
 In an exchange of correspond ence made public by the White House, Eisenhower accepted the resignation with an expression of regret. He thanked Hector flor a job we'll done" but made no com ment on Electors remarks about the boards role.
 After two and half years on the board" Hector wrote Eisen- hover, q have come to the belief that an independent regulatory commission is not competent in these days to regulate vital na- tional industry in the public in tereSt.
 Ut is my belief also that we are trying to regulate far too many details of civil aviation - details which could better be left to management discretion and the free play of competitive forces"

BPR Officials to
 Hold Hearings On NOme-Teller Road

There will be special hearing on the disputed Nome-Teller road route on Friday evening at 7:30 when a group of road officials will be here from Juneau and Fair banks
 The officials will arrive in the morning and meet with the NWA Chamber of Commerce Road Committee and an open meeting will be held in the evening.
 Several years ago an aerial sur vey was made, followed by a ground survey involving consider able cost. This year it was ex- pected appropriations would be made to get the job under way. Instead of the expected progress a new route was proposed which the BPR felt was more econ omical.
 The reason for the route being placed where the survey has been made was to open up as much of the known mineral wealth as pos sible This includes an iron de- posit known to prospectors as well as geologists who are or have been in the area.
 Legislators have been invited to the meeting as well as any in dividuals who can furnish evil dence as to which route woud be better for northwestern Alaska
 Expected to arrive with the party from Juneau are: William Neimi, Regional Engineer for BPR; H. w. Johansen, Divisional Engineer for BPR at Fairbanks, and Richard A. Downing, Com missioner of the Department of Public Works for the State of Alaska.
 The meeting will be at the Grand Jury room of the Federal Building.
 The Chamber Road Committee headed by Joe Kroninger is pre- pairing a brief on all known fac tors on the surveyed route and Evert Hough, BPR District En- gineer, is making plans for the hearing, so that action may be taken and decisions made for road work in that area as soon as pos Sible.
