One result of Soviet Premier
Khrushchev's violent attacks
on, President Eisenhower is to
increase the prospect of hostile
demonstrations against the
President on his Far Eastern
tour.
United States officials have
concluded that Mr.. Khrushchev
intends to do everything he
can to harasS and embarrass
the President and try to de-
stroy the image of Mr.. Eisen-
hover as an effective leader
and champion of peace.
They said the idea of stirring
up trouble to mar the Presi-
dents tour must be considered
too tempting for Mr.. Khrush-
chev to overlook.
The White House has taken
no official note Of Mr.. Khrush-
chev's personal remarks about
Mr.. Eisenhower. but Secretary
of State Herter said yesterday
he is sure all Americans share
"the disgust I feel at the ILL
tempered attacks -"
Attempt to Shift Blame
Mr.. Herter said in a state
ment that Mr.. Khrushchev is
seeking to divest himself of
the responsibility-known to all
the world-for the disruption
of the Paris summit confer
ence."
Mr.. Eisenhower plans to leave
a week from tomorrow on a
trip to the Philippines, Form
osa, Japan, Korea and Okinawa
as well as the new States of
Alaska and Hawaii.
In Japan, where the impend-
ing trip already has drawn
angry and determined socialist
opposition, Communist ele-
ments now are expected to do
everything they can to make
MIR. Eisenhower's appearances
there as unpleasant as possible
for him and his Japanese
government hosts.
United States officials also
consider it entirely possible that
about the time the President
goes to Formosa the Chinese
Communists will make a show
OF military strength in the
Formosa Strait. To do so they
have only to open up heavy
bombardment once more of the
Chinese nationalist islands,
Quemoy and Matsu, near the
Red mainland.
500 Shells Yesterday
Some support for this idea
came yesterday when the Reds
fired more than 500 shells
toward the Quemoy Islands
their apparent target a Ma
tionalist transport carrying
supplies. Dispatches from Tai
pei said the action was re-
garded there as a possible
curtain-raiser to a new crisis
in the Formosa Strait.
1t is a measure of the radical
change in the international
climate following the summit
collaspe that little more than
six months ago Communists
Joined in welcoming Mr.. Eisen-
hover at many places when he
toured Europe, Asia and North
Africa. But that was in the pre-
summit era of East West good
feeling.
Several reasons are seen here
for Mr.. Khrushchev's about
attack on the President in the
aftermath of the summit break
down.
One of them, advanced by
most officials, is that Premier
Khrushchev feels he must JUS
tify before world public opinion
his decision not to go on with
the Paris summit conference
because of the spy plane Incl
dent.
He's Held Responsible
The State Department off,
cials say their studies of press
reaction in allied and neutral
countries so far has shown that
Mr.. Khrushchev is most gen.
orally held responsible for the
summit failure.
They attribute this. in part
to the kind of language he used
at Paris and since then in talk
ing about Mr.. Eisenhower. They
assert that Mr.. Eisenhower's
popularity in the non-Commu-
