PORTSMOUTH, Ohio (UPI)
A Russian family of four visited
a supermarket and kept busy
on other sightseeing junkets to
day on a week-long visit to this
Ohio River city.
The Viktor Pozdncycv family
from Moscow was here for a
"typical American Christmas
visit" as an international good
will gesture sponsored by the
Portsmouth Junior Chamber of
Commerce.
Pozdneyev, his wife, Nina, and
their children, Anatoli, 17, and
Oliia, 6, appeared to be enjoy
ing themselves, despite a busy
schedule mapped for them dur
ing tho holiday visit. They ar
rived here lute Thursday night
and spent the following day
meeting local citizens and at
tending a Chamber of Com
merce lunch.
However, a high school bas
ketball game the family was
supposed to attend Friday night
was postponed until tonight
Pozdneyev, who cannot spcaK
English, was presented a key to
the city at the lunch attended
by more than 200 chamber
members and other guests.
I hope this will be a key to
the hearts of everyone in Ports
mouth," the Moscow auto work
er replied through an interpret
er, Nadia May of Huntington,
W. Va. "We are delighted to ne
in your great country and wo
feel lucky we were chosen to
come here."
Mrs. Pozdneyev, a Moscow
English teacher, was the only
one of the family able to speak
English. However, young Ana
toli appeared to be getting past
the language barrier with the
son of the host, Portsmouth in
surance man Jim McKenzie,
Anatoli and Philip McKenzie,
14, pointed with their fingers
and managed to convey their
ideas. They will attend a bas-
because of the closeness of the
vote early today a few vote
switches or return of absentees
might reverse the verdict.
The agreement followed an
all night meeting that broke up
after dawn. It gave President
Johnson a chance to recoup af
ter a stunning setback to his
prestige in the early morning
vote.
The action capped what al
ready has been the longest ses
sion of Congress since World
War II.
The conference committee put
a 30-day time limit on the Pres
ident's report to Congress in
such transactions.
Thus the House will have to
vote on a slightly modified ver
sion of the language which It
rejected by a 141 to 136 margin
in the early hours this morning.
Sen. John O. Pastore, D-R.L,
said the slight change was of
fered by House conferees and
was "positively satisfactory to
us."
Rep. Otto Passman, D - La.,
told newsmen that he will vote
for the provision and urge its
approval although "I dislike it
with a passion."
Asked whether, in . fact, it
was he who proposed the slight
ly modified wheat guarantee
provision to the conference com
mittee, Passman replied that he
would rathor say it was the
agreed action of the Senate
House conference committee.
Technically, the language is
designed to ond a controversy
over whether the Export - Im
port Bnnk can guarantee credit
arrangements in such sales to .
Communist nations as tho pro
posed deal for U.S. wheat. The
guarantee proposal has been
controversial in both houses
and the Senate will have to vote
on the compromise bill if the
House reverses Itself and ap-

ULTIMATE TRIBUTE"
WASHINGTON (UPI) Sen.
Stuart Symington, D-Mo., pro
posed this week that Gen.
Douglas MacArthur receive tho
ultimate tribute" from the na
lion by muking him a six-star
general of the armies.
The rank was conferred only
once before on the late Gen.
John J. Pershing.
Symington, in introducing a
bill to carry out the proposal,
said MacArthur is a "towering
figure" of the times that em
braced World War II and the
Korean conflict.

The wheat salo controversy,
for 24 hours, has been the ma
jor hurdle to adjournment.
The Upset for Johnson early
came a a point when the long
fight over foreign aid had ap
peared at last over and settled.
Backs Aid Fight -;
Johnson threw his full pres
tige Into the fight. He had said
that the House ban infringed on
his constitutional authority in
the foreign policy field. He alsq
warned that enactment ot the
credit ourb could wreck pros
pects of selling large quantities
ol U.S. surplus wheat to HusBia
and other Communist nations. '
House leaders labored through
the day Friday and early tliis
morning to set up the crucial
vote. But it was session-end ab
senteeism that finally blasted
their hopes.
All told, 26 Democrats desert
ed the fold to vote for the curb,
while 133 voted against it. But
95 Democrats were not present.
On the Republican side, 115
Republicans voted for the ban,
while only 3 voted against it;
CO did not vote.
The House-authored ban on
grain sale credit was part of
its version of the foreign aid
money bill.
Hurdle Appeared Cleared
Friday night, it appeared the
major obstacle to adjournment
had been hurdled when negoti
ators from the House and Sen
ato agreed on a compromise $3
billion aid measure, about $600
million less Hum Congress had
authorized.
The key to the settlement,
however, was a compromise
curb on tho use of government
credit for the proposed wheat
sales. Under the compromise
Congress would go on record
against such government In
volvement in the sale, but
would leave tho final decision
to the President.
The Republicans decided,
however, to make the original
credit ban and rejection of the
compromise a party issue. At
first, Democratic leaders ap
peared ready to drop the whole
matter until Congress starts Its
second session in January.
Then Johnson, In a last-mm-utc
plea, told the leaders he
wanted the aid bill finally en
acted and the anti-trade clause
removed or modified before
Congress quit for the year.
Since taking office Nov. 22, the
President has won a number of
tests in Congress. On this one,
it developed, he stretched his
luck too far and lost.
It was a bitter defeat not only
for Johnson but for his House
leaders who had labored to turn
the earlier House decision
around. They thought until the
end they had it won.
