Reaction to Moscow:
Best to Row in Private

LONDON, July 81 (AP).-
Two world statesmen pickering
publicly over a kitchen sink
provided an alarming specta-
Gle for Western Europe, accus-
toned for hundreds of years
to more formal brands of diplo-
macy.
If row you must, best to row
behind closed doors. This was
the lesson many Western Euro
pean editors drew from Vice
President Nixon's verbal duel
with Soviet Premier Nikita S.
Khrushchev Friday.
Most observers believed the
exchange initially may have
heightened President EiSen-
hower's reluctance to go to a
tummit meeting. But with the
return to more cordial rela-
tons between the Soviet lead
er and the United States Vice
President, the alarm was abat-
ing.

not be taken too seriously"

Chronicle.

people who like what are rather
optimistically called frank ex-

been in general extremely
friendly. Old Moscow hands
say that the size and the en-.

greater than that produced fol-
most Western visitors.
The enthusiasm in fact has
at times become something 4
a problem to the Russian Sc.
curity details assigned to Mr.
Nixon. For the formal opening
OF the American exhibit, the
boulevards leading to Mos
cows Sokolniki Park were lined
with thousands of spectators
whose lack of usual banners
and formal cheers attested to
the spontaneity of their pres
ence.
In leaving the fairgrounds
Mr.. Nixon, trailed by his party,
had to emerge from the main
gates where the crowd was
waiting. Immediately he was
engulfed.
For a moment or two Mr.,
Nixon seemed tense and white
faced, apparently uncertain
whether the crowd was friendly
or not. When it became clear
that all most of them wanted
was to touch him, shake his
band or shout about peace and
friendship, Mr.. Nixon, the pol
itician, had it made.
The rest of the exit was a
strange Kind Of triumphal pro-
cession ending with the Vice
President leaning from his
immobilized limousine shaking
hands, patting backs and
heads and waving and smiling

aide, that we haven't got

enthusiastically when he dis

at whatever he may happen to
say. But the fuss over Mr.

Tass said "the cars are in

a group of Moscow automobile

cheap midget automobiles and
why they change models every
year.

that it was done only to swell

Mr.. Khrushchev - Some

down a refutation by Vice

Mr.. Nixon said there was no
serious talk on the boat, just
pleasant conversation. The
group stopped eight times
during the boat ride and shook
the hands Of swimmers near the
beaches.
Mr.. Nixon greeted them In
Russian. When they pulled a.
for stops near the shore crowds
gathered around the boat and
Mr.. Khrushchev would each
time point to them and say,

To which Mr.. Nixon said

Mr.. Khrushchev, I must admire
you. This is the eighth time
