Louvre, was packing today for
a goodwill mission to the
United States.
The 459-year-old painting by
Leonardo da Vinci will travel

Security precautions befitting
a statesman Of the highest rank

masterpiece regarded as one of
Frances irreplaceable treasures.
The Mona Lisa's itinerary has
not been announced, but she is
expected to be shown in Wash

Removing the famed painting
from the Louvre museum has

Frenchmen, who have expressed
fears 1t may be damaged by

military bases.
In an apparent rebuttal to
the Communist Chinese, Mr.,
Khrushchev said a deep scien-
tific approach" to the facts OF
international life is needed, in
cluding a sensible estimate OF
the correlation o: forces.
In reviewing the Castro re-
gime's relations with the Soviet
Union, Mr.. Khrushche9 said:
"The reactionary forces in
the United States resolved to
ursurp the functions Of a police.
man. to take the road Of the
military suppression of the
Cuban revolution. In other
words, they wanted to usurp
the right to export counter
revolution.
The news agency Tass quoted
Mr.. Khrushchev as saying:
American reaction seeks tc
justify its aggressive actions by
alleging that the crisis in the
Caribbean was created by Cuba
herself and that blame also
rested with the Soviet Unior
which shipped rockets ane
M-2S bombers there.
"But the Soviet Union shipped
weapons to Cuba at the re-
quest Of the Cuban govern.
ment, to use their weapons a.
means Of containing the ag-
gressors and not as means Of
attack. Our only purpose wa.
defense Of Cuba"

and declared: 90
Had we wanted to start war

would have not agreed to dis
mantle the rockets installed in
Cuba which were ready for

have brought them into play.
But we did not do that because
we had no such aims.

 In his opening remarks to the dairymen, Wilson expressed a desire to discuss methods of making the industry more eff cient, stable, and more success ful. He mentioned the problem of ever-increaSing costs of pro udction and the neyer-ending invasion of the market by new products and new channels of supply that have made compe- tition from other areas more and more practical.
 The dairymen agreed that local production should be en- couraged to cover as closely as possible, the basic market and that the most efficient and ec- onomical method of importing milk be used to complete the fluctuating requirements be- yond the basic need.
