yan's face Lit up in a smile and

IF I could describe para
disc" Mr.. Mikoyan declared, Il
would describe Cuba"

lister Andrei Gromyko.
No Conclusions Reached
The Italians and the Rus
slams concluded their talks be-
fore lunch. No conclusions were
reached and none were ex-
pected, an italian official said
He added, however. that the
conversations this morning re-
f1ected none of the tension
which developed last night.
Mr.. Gronchi's visit generally
had been considered of only
limited Importance on the in
ternational scene. AS a result
Of last nights exchange. how
ever, Italians in Moscow felt
much more had developed.
For one thing they felt Mr.
Khrushchev's sharp words
might consolidate the ranks of
the Italian Christian Demo-
Gratis, now plagued by a division
among the right. center and
leftist factions. And they felt
no one could question Italy's
loyalty to the North Atlantic
Alliance since Mr.. Pella had
made Italy's position clear in
plain words.

attempt to bring to the surface

be lurking there.
The tactic was reported by

Mr.. Khrushchev-Then, dlo
we show you a deluding one?
Mr.. Pells-No, but ours is

Half-HOur Debate
During the half-hour debate
Mr.. Khrushchev smilingly sug-
gested that Mr.. Gronchi and
Mr.. Pella give up their men,
bership in Italy's Christian
Democrat Party and become
Communists.
Under the capitalist regime, ="
Mr.. Krushchev said, "the man
who has more dollars is the
most intelligent. Under the
Socialist regime, he is the most
intelligent who has more in
telligence. Think again on this
and you'll become a Com
munist."
Mr.. Gronchi replied, IT would
like to present Premier Khru-
shchev with a good wish
maybe some day, touched by
divine grace, he will enter the
Christian Democrat Party"
Mr.. Khrushchev answered, ST
am for that party which gives
the largest welfare to the peo-
pie. If you do that, I accept
the invitation" But a short
time later he boasted that Mr..
Gronchi's party is not in the
same league with the Com
Party.
Gronchi Not Surprised
Mr.. Gronchi told newsmen
after the reception he was not
surprised by Mr.. Khrushchev's
unexpected outburst.
This is not new for me be-
cause I have had an oppor-
tunity to meet Khrushchev
three times before" he said.
After all, we always read about
this kind of animated con-
versation of Khrushchev's."

400 Infants
Get Vaccine
OfLiveV

NEW YORK, Feb. 8 (AP).-
Sabin live-virus polio vaccine
has been given to 400 newborn
infants at Bellevue Hospital in
the last two months. All are
reported well.
The purpose of the program
at the large municipal hospital
is to learn if newborn babies
can be immunized for life.
DR.. Morris Greenberg, direc-
tor of the City Health Depart
ment's Bureau of Preventable
Diseases, said yesterday that
while the live-virus vaccine has
been taken orally by millions
OF persons. the Bellevue pro-
gram is the first large test al
such an early age.
He said the parents of the
babies consented to the tests.
Bellevue researchers believe
that if the tests prove success
full and the infants develop
their own antibodies against
polio within two or three
months, the simplest means OF
immunizing will have been
found.
Weakened polio virus strains,
developed by DR.. Albert B,
Sabin Of Cincinnati, were given
to the babies orally within "a
hours Of birth. A few drops of
the vaccine were placed on the
tongue, or the throat was
swabbed with it.
The Sabin vaccine has not
yet been licensed by the United
States Surgeon Generals office
for general use.
The widely used vaccine de-
veloped by DR.. Jonas Salk of
Pittsburgh is made Of dead
viruses of three types of para
lytic polio.

Western position that Soviet
terms were unacceptable.
Mr.. KhruShchev launched
into his views on the German
question following a toast at
the crowded reception, given
for himself and Soviet PreSi-
dent Klementi Voroshilov by
visiting Italian President Gio-
vanni Gronchi.
Cultural Pact Signed
Today all appeared to be
serene. The Soviet and Italian
leaders signed an agreement
for cultural cooperation.
1T lays down the founda-
tionS of Soviet-Italian cooper
alton in culture, the arts, SCI
ence, technology and sports, /"
said the Soviet news agency,
TaSS.
THE agreement enviSages an
exchange Of scientists, students,
writer's, journalists and techno-
logical information and meas
ures promoting tourist travel"
Last nights spirited ex-
change highlighted the diplo-
matte reception for the visitors.
If we don't resolve these
(GermanO problems now" the
Premier warned, sooner or
later someone will try to change
the existing situation by force"
He added:
"A situation which has been
changed by war generally can
only be changed by another
war. Czechoslovakia and Po-
land will not have their from
tiers changed. They are our
allies. Prayers are not enough.
We must face problems with
realism. (West German Chan
cellor KonradD Adenauer does
not agree, but who asked Aden-
auer for his opinion.
PeIla Interrupts
italian Foreign Minister Gui-
Seppe Pella interrupted to say:
II must say that we do not
share your point of view on
Berlin and Germany"
This prompted the following
exchange:
Mr.. Khrushchev Life will
teach you. Life is such a good
teacher that even the slowest
pupils learn their lessons. I
trust in mans mind. You say
you are for peace. Then, why
don't you want a treaty with
Germany?
Mr.. Pella-I think we have
nothing to add to the picture
drawn by President Gronchi
this morning.
(Mr. KnruShchev and Mr..
Gronchi apparently had COW
cred the same ground in a
meeting at the Kremlin earlier
in the day.
Mr.. Observation-Disclosures your
picture is better than ours?
Mr.. Pella-Let me say yes.
