LETTERS TO THE STAR
OF Khrushchev's and costro's Doings at the u. N.

The traditional dignity
and cooperation of the
American people, during the
United Nations General AS
sembly, asked by President
Eisenhower, in my opinion,
is fairly reasonable.
However, the attitude and
feelings Of the people toward
Khrushchev and Castro for
the damage these two unin-
vited guests have done to
American prestige will be the
reason for any razzing, boo
ing or cold shoulder displays
toward these two delegates.
Today the Soviet anti-Amer-
ican propaganda mill oper-
ates at full steam. No doubt,
Khrushchev, too, will try to
personally intensity the prop
aganda in New York. So al
though the plea has been
urged, the New Workers find
it difficult to heed.

Controversy has arisen in
this country as to whether or
not newspapers, radio. tele-
vision, ETC., should give full
play to the visit of Premier
Khrushchev and his inevita-
BILE harangue before the
United Nations.
It is this writer's belief
that to play down the dicta-
tors brashness in coming to
this country. after insulting
our President and our coun-
try, would be contrary to our
American way Of life.
To underplay Khrushchev's
visit would be a mistake.
This visit gives the world an
opportunity to see what a
boorish rude bully he is. Put
the spotlight on him, don't
hide him.

I am Just the average,
poorly informed citizen, but I
see a possible significant as
pect to the sudden arrival OF
almost all the Communist
world at the present U. N.
session, with the exception,
of course, of Communist
China. In particular, the
arrival of Tito, of Yugoslavia.
who has never before set foot
on U. S. shores. seems to in
dicate that particular signif1-
canoe may be attached to
this session of the U. N.
It is we'll known that Mao
Use Tung has expansionist
ideas in Asia which Khru-
shchev regards as being dan
gerous to world peace. It Is
also well known that discord
has become evident between
the USSR and Communist
China regarding high policy
matters presumably Mao's
desire for expansion against
Russia's wishes.
Is it not possible that
Khrushchev has summoned
together all the Communist
world, with the exception Of
China, to give Mao a full
fiedged demonstration of
Russia,s control over all the
Communist world? If this is
so, might it not also be posi-
2 BILE that Khrushchev is indi-
rectly demonstrating to Mao
that world communism is
against risk of world war at
this time?
If both the above are posi-
BILE, a third, otherwise un-
likely prospect emerges: Rus
sia, this time land against
all other times when the free
world hoped, only to have its
hopes dashed), may actually
be seeking true disarmament
agreement. 1t would be fool
hardy to be fooled again."
but it is my honest belief
that presSures on Russia from
China are such, at this time
in history, that previous
guiles of Russia are being
superseded by a fear Of Chi
mas actions which is forcing
Russia's hand for true dis
armament. At least, let's not
be oblivious to the possibility.

The travel restriction i'm
posed upon Nikita S. Khru-
shchev on his visit to the
United States is titled by
various Soviet news sources
as the usual, Western In
justice" and a move on the
part of the West to cause
trouble and to create tension,
but it should be looked at
from both sides.
Let us start with the Stall
mist era travel restrictions
