Beoming Khrushchev Enters Austria,
MoIotov Among Official Greeters


Through a gate in the Iron
Curtain, Premier KhruShchev
entered Austria today and came
to Vienna for his weekend
conferences with President
Kennedy, who arrives tomorrow.
The Soviet leader said he is
here to establish personal con-
tact with Mr.. Kennedy land to
exchange views on the main
questions that concern rela-
tions between the Soviet Union
and the United States of
America"
I'VE know that one cannot
settle everything at once" he
observed. IF, however, pne has
good will, one can also achieve
much within short time.
This is what the people
want who press for an easing
of international tension and
for strengthening of world
peace"
MOlOtOv on Hand
On hand to greet Mr.. Khru-
Shchev in Vienna were Presi-
dent Adolf Schaerf, Chancellor
Alfons Gorbach-and Vyache-
slav M. Molotov. Mr.. Khru-
shchev denoted Mr.. Molotov
from Soviet Foreign Minister
shortly after he signed the
Austrian state treaty in 1855.
He is now Soviet representative
to the Vienna headquarters of
the International Atomic En-
ergy Commission.
Mr.. Khrushchev, passing
down the line to shake hands
with the welcoming committee,
gave Mr.. Molotov a little more
time than the others. He and
the white-haired old BolShevik
smiled and exchanged a few
words.
Several score persons booed
as Khrushchev walked into the
main hall of the southeast rail-
way station. The booing was
mixed with applause among
several hundred spectators.
: The Soviet leader motored to
, the country home maintained
by the Soviet embassy. Mr..
Khrushchev came here after
talks with Antonin Novotny,
Communist chief of CzechoSlo-
, vakia. The Czechs said these
talks produced complete agree
: ment.
Premier Cheerful
i. Mr.. Khrushchev was smiling
and joking when he arrived at
marching on the border.
One member of the Austrian
welcoming party, Security |
Chief Kurt Seidler, looked at
the blue skies and said he
hoped the weather was a good
omen for the two-man summit.
Mr.. Khrushchev replied:
. THE climate in Austria is |
always very good"
= Guarded optimism emanated
from the Soviet camp today |
that something useful might !
come from the Kennedy-Khru-
shchev conference if Mr.. Ken
nedy is prepared to accept the
Soviet point of view on world
problems as logical.
Local Communist bloc at
taches and the Soviet press in
Moscow all voiced the same
message: That acceptance of
Soviet policy offers the only
chance for world peace and
that the American viewpoint is
not only wrong but a bit re-
prehensible.
Kennedy Due Tomorrow
Mr.. Kennedy arrives tomor-
row morning by plane from
Paris, and the two leaders will
meet for lunch at the Amer
ican Ambassador residence. |
Their first talk will follow,
until late afternoon.
The talks Sunday will be
held in the Russian Embassy,
continuing until two hours be-
fore the President takes off in
the late afternoon for London.
Although Austrian sources
said this week that Mr.. Khru-
shchev had assured United
States Ambassador Llewellyn
Thompson he would not force
a showdown over West Berlin
during the first year or so of
the Kennedy administration,
Pravda today renewed the So
Wet demand for an early peace
treaty with Germany and in
dicated the Russians would sign
a treaty with their East Ger
man satellite any time they
pleased.
