to it through a series of ornate
rooms filled with flowers.
The peace movement people
commended Mr.. Khrushchev's
disarmament efforts.
Sees War Peril for All
The Soviet Premier said war
now makes no distinction be-
tween persons.
'Nuclear bombs make no dis
tinction between Communists
and non-Communists or be-
tween Catholics and Protest.
ants" Mr.. Khrushchev said.
'I am a Communist. We
Communists are for peace. We
want to seek peace through
seeking q better system. If the
capitalists do not want peace
but wish to continue the cold
war it is because they are
afraid their system won't win.
"All men want peace except
fools. And they do not make
policy"
He said he wanted to see
trade increased between France
and the Soviet Union and also
with other countries such as
West Germany, Britain and
the United States.
In a speech after landing at
Orly Airport, Mr.. Khrushchev
touched on main problems fac
ing East and West but said.
I'VE must in particular care
for the problem Of disarma-
ment."
Gen. de Gaulle, whose gov
ernment is pushing ahead with
a program Of nuclear weapon
development to increase its
status in world councils, gave
no indication of his reaction
to Mr.. Khrushchev's words. AL
ways austere, he stood quietly
by as an interpreter translated
from the Russian.
Speaks Obliquely of Berlin :
MI. Khrushchev also made .
what appeared to be an oblique :
reference to Berlin, speaking of
the dangerous leftovers Of
World War II, a description
he has often applied to the
still = occupied German me-
tropolis. y
These shells and these
bombs are corroded by rust"
he said. land one runs a great I
risk in unearthing them. But s
to leave them intact is to ex- I
pose yourself to even greater y
risk. Our engineers take them I
in hand carefully with caution
and mastery. We must do Y
the same in cleaning from our
old and beautiful earth the re- Z
mains of these somber years s
of war. 1t is a difficult and
delicate task"
The Soviet Premier. who
would like to see a slackening
Of Paris-Bonn ties, called for ,
further development Of rela- !
tions between France and the ,
Soviet Union. l.
Pageant at Airport
Orly Airport was a blaze of
color and pageantry as the s
French put on a full-dress {
grfeeting for Mr.. Khrushchev's {
first visit to France. the first I
by a Russian government chief L
since Gar Nicholas II came L
with Czarina Alexandra on
October 6. 1896. L
Heavy security precautions {
prevailed at the airport. Per- l
sons permitted to enter the {
arrival enclosure underwent
four separate screenings. Sc II
curity police were everywhere,
as they will be. wherever the
Soviet visitor goes during his
flying tour of II French cities
and towns.
Mr.. Khrushchev smiled and
waved his soft gray hat as he i
alighted from his plane, fol- L
lowed by his wife, Nina. He
seemed vigorous as he read his {
speech in the Salon of Honor, 1
but a slight hoarseness seemed G
to be a legacy of the influenza {
attack which postponed his
arrival for a week. /
The Soviet Premier talked
and smiled broadly as he and e
Gen. de Gaulle climbed into
an open car for the smile t
drive into Paris. Gen. de c
Gaulle. habitually aloof, smiled t
family. An interpreter sat on v
the front seat, for neither Gen. i
de Gaulle nor Mr.. Khrushchev S
knows the others language. S
Wins Ride Behind
Mrs. Khrushchev, loaded
down with flowers and smiling !
happily, rode in a second car 9
with Mrs. de Gaulle. An es- c
cort of motorcycle guards \
roared ahead of the caravan. t
A slight breeze f1uttered the c
, French and Soviet flags all q
along the route.
There were shouts of "Vive t
Khrushchev" and, for Mrs. IS
Khrushchev, "Vive Nina" There 8
were no visible demonstrations !
against the Soviet leader.
AS the caravan rolled through =
the gates leading 10 the For 6
eign Office Building where the I
Khrushchevs will be housed, {
Republican guards snapped to
attention. The leader of the
worlds biggest proletarian state
was greeted by attendants s
in white silk stockings, red '
breecheS and blue coats. c
Mrs. Khrushchev looked awed, I
Mr.. Khrushchev, after the long a
ride into town, appeared some c
what pale and little drawn. S
