Obviously we are not do
ing as good a selling job on
some of our citizens as we
should. ! refer in particular
to the spontaneous, joyous
reception given to MesSrs.
Khrushchev and Castro by
thousands of New Yorkers at
the Hotel Theresa in Harlem.
No matter how hard we
try to play it down, this kind
Of demonstration is not go
ing to hurt the propaganda
hungry Russian Premier and
his boy friend, Fidel Castro.
Apparently the shouting
thousands who seemingly
approve the presence of these
two outstanding anti-Ameri-
cans believe very little of
what they've read or heard
concerning K. and c.
Perhaps we should dig in
and find another approach to
win these citizens over to our
side.

I don't see why our people
make such a fuss over Nikita
Khrushchev If we can't even
get into his home town. 1t
doesn't seem to be bothering
anybody that he was able to
return and spy on us again."
1t has already been proven
that it did not do any good
the first time, so why were
we so stupid as to let him
back into our country?
Are we, the free people of
the United States, going to
sit back and watch Mr..
Khrushchev slowly but sure
ly take over the United
States? Or are we going to
do something about it before
it is too late?

I heard on TV that Khru-
shchev intends to use the
demonstrations in New York
as an excuse to try and get
the United Nations out of
this country. Well, I for one,
hope he is successful. Then
all those men Scheming to
take our democracy from us
will not have an excuse to
come to our shores again.
1 suggest that they find
an uninhabited island in the
Pacific where they could per-
form with no one around
but United Nations delegates
and Of course, reporters and
photographers from member
countries. They wouldn't
even need police unless they
thought they needed protec-
ton from each other.

I am sure all America
breathed a sigh of relief when
the Russian staff was ex-
PEELED from the Congo, thus
ending their attempts to gain
a foothold in Central Africa.
To most Americans the threat
of communism is an ever
present danger.
Why then do Americans
take such a sugar-coated
view of the recent happen
ingS in Cuba? Fidel Castro
is making no secret of his
intentions, which are to push
America out of Cuba. And
who is all too eager to help
Castro in his aim? While
Russia lost a foothold in the
Congo, they are steadily i'm
proving their relations with
Cuba.
Vigorous action is needed
Immediately to remedy this
worsening state of affairs. If
this is not done now it may
soon be too late.
Michael B. Higgins.
I cannot agree with your
editorial about the place due
to Mr.. Khrushchev in the
American newspapers.
Whatever title Mr.. Khru-
shchev would arrogate to
himself, essentially he is the
head Of the Communist par
ties of the world, including
the American Communist
Party. If American newspa-
pers are so strict about the
equal coverage of the activi-
ties of Republicans and Dem
ocrats, I do not see. any reason
to give a priority to Mr.. K,
who is always a proponent of
the Communist cause. News
papers must divide their
space into three columns:
Mssrs. Nixon, Kennedy and
Khrushchev.
