Sees Motive
As Stirring
Up EnnnitY

BERLIN. June 20 (AP). -
Premier Khrushchev arrived in
East Berlin today and was told
that President Kennedy's trip
to West Berlin was made for
the purpose Of creating enmity
among Germans. Mr.. Khrush-
chev said he agreed.
He came for q surprise sum-
NIT meeting with leaders Of
Soviet bloc countries.
Walter Ulhricht, the spade
bearded East German Commu-
mist leader. greeted Mr.. Khru-
shchev with a kiss and declared
in a welcoming speech:
Kennedy came to West Ber-
lin to stir up the West German
people against the people Of
East Germany in the interests
Of the American monopolists."
In reply Mr.. Khrushchev said
he agreed completely with Mr..
Ulbricht's analysis Of the Ken
nedy visit to West Berlin on
Wednesday.
Mr.. Khrushchev stepped out
Of his plane accompanied by
his wife Nina.
No SpacewOman
Contrary to speculation Mr..
Khrushchev did not bring along
Valentino Tereshkova, the So
Wet spacewoman. Some thought
he might do so in an effort to
whip up public excitement sim
liar to that which greeted Mr..
Kennedy in West Berlin on
Wednesday.
Officially the purpose Of the
visit-announced only four days
ago-is to help Mr.. Ulbricht
celebrate his 10th birthday
Sunday.
A large crowd turned out at
the airport to cheer Mr.. Khru-
shchev's arrival at Schoenfeld
Airport.
After reviewing an honor
guard, Mr.. Khrushchev went
I down a reception line, shaking
hands with nearly 100 top East
German Communists and mem
? bers of the diplomatic CORPS,
who had been waiting for more
than an hour in sweltering
: heat.
Mr.. Khrushchev wore a dark
suit, white shirt with gray tie
{ and a white Panama hat. He
wore medals on both sides Of
his barrel chest. Mrs. Khru-
. shchev, like most women in the
reception committee. wore a
; lowered summer dress.
No Threats Made :.
: Western diplomats had gen.
/ orally agreed that Mr.. Khru-
/ shchev's visit was intended 70
, counter the triumphant Jour-
ney Of Mr.. Kennedy through
: West Germany and Berlin,
: Neither Mr.. Khrushchev nor
; Mr.. ulbricht uttered a single
threat against the West, nor
did they mention anything
about signing the long-promised
/" peace treaty between the Soviet
Union and East Germany.
Following Mr.. Khr1lshchev
into Berlin we're Polish Party
Z Chief Wladyslaw Gomulka and
] Czechoslovak President Anton
In Novotny. Other satellite
: leaders are expected to assem-
BILE in East Berlin by Sunday.
, Mr.. Ulbricht's birthday cele-
bration was the official pretext
for the gathering. But 1t is the
first time Mr.. Khrushchev has
left home to attend q birthday
I party for a satellite leader, and
Western officials in Berlin were
convinced there was much
more to the trip than that.
The Soviet and Chinese
Communist parties open talks
in Moscow July S on their
bitter dispute over the policy
the Communist countries
should pursue in their relations
with the rest Of the world.
Red Chinese leaders have
marshaled public support for
their stand in recent meetings
z with their North Wet Namese
! and North Korean allies. The
Berlin meeting could produce
new endorsements Of Mr..
= Khrushchev's position from his
4 major European allies.
