route to New York, Mr.. Khru-
shchev called the restriction
an unreasonable measure which
Cannot be justified by either
theological or moral grounds.
Mr.. Khrushchev made his
views known in a message to
the London Daily Express. The
message. replying to questions
put to him by the newspaper
was also widely publicized at
the same time by Moscow ra-
dio and the Soviet press agency
TaSS.
Motivation Questioned
IF the United States were
guided by good intentions and
by the desire really to resolve
the urgent problems that are
vitality important for all man.
kind. it would not have wanted
to put me in such a position, -
Mr.. Khrushchev said.
I'VE must be guided not by
personal likes and dislikes re-
garding this or that individual
or this and that social system,
but must take into account the
actual condition obtaining on
our planet"
(In Washington, White
House Press Secretary James
c. Hagerty emphasized that
the restrictions limiting Mr..
Krushchev's movements sis
solely a matter of security"
Mr.. Hagerty remarked that
the security problem seems
to be completely lost sight

seen on the matter.
(He pointed out that the
United States-United Nations
agreement providing for
United Nations headquarters
in New York stipulates that
Federal, State and local
authorities shall afford any
necessary protection to per-
sons officially attending the
United Nations sessions ex-
cept while they are on United
Nations premiSes.")

Mr.. Khrushchev has advised
the State Department he will
stay at the downtown head
quarters of the Russian U. N.

of this yesterday in Washington.
Gen. Nicolai Zhakarov and
his top deputy. English-speak-
ing Vladimir Burdin, discussed
the problem after flying from
Moscow in advance of Mr..
Khrushchey.
In reply to another of the
newspapers questions, Mr..
Khrushchev made a bitter at
tack on U. N. Secretary Gen.
eral Dag Hammarskjold for
his handling of the Congo
crisis.
He charged that Mr.. Ham
marskjold was acting CON
sciously in the interests of the
colonialists and imperialists."
Mr.. Khrushchev went through
the familiar Soviet accusations
that the Western powers are
trying to deprive the Congo of
it's independence and overthrow
the government of Patrice
Lumurnba.
Inconsistency" Charged
THE champions of colonial
ist policy call Patrice Lumumba
a Communist" Mr.. Khrushcheg
said. THE inconsistency of
such assertions is obvious. !
would say that Mr.. Lumumba
is as much a Communist as
Khrushchev is a Catholic"
