But it will not soon forget that they were here for two extraordinary days in September Of 1959. A close-up on television was the closest most Americans came to the Soviet premier and his fam ily. New Yorkers going about their business in town gathered that Khrushchev was on the roll to one of his many appointments when ever they heard the roar of his 75-motorcycle escort in the dis tance or when traffic came to a standstill for several blocks, usu ally by coincidence at the rush hour. Those who had hoed to see Ni kita and hs wife Nina Petrovna were invariubly disappointed. '" A glimpse of the Khrushchev profile, the blurred image of a bald head was about the only re ward for minutes and even hours of sidewalk waiting. If Washington gave its attention mostly to Khrushcev, It was Mrs. Khrushchev's turn to triumph in New York. The luckiest New Yorkers of all were some 1,400 theater-goers who got a good long look at the pre mier's wife just because they hap pened to hold tickets for the ".Mu sic Man'' on the same night as she. , What kind of impact did New York make on the Khrushehevs This was the M-rublo question to day as the Khrushehevs flew 0,7 to Los Angeles. Mrs. Khrushchev called it a "noisy" city. Nikita, from the top of the Em pire State, said it was a "fine" city, but that Moscow was the best city of all. Every man has a spe cial feeling for his home town, he explained. The feeling they probably took with them as they flew is that it Would be nice, very nice, to come back to New York some day.

DREW PEARSON SAYS: Halleck Of Indiana Pushed GOP Bills Through For Ike WASHINGTON Shortly be fore Congress adjourned, Charlie Halleck, , Republican of Indiana, was lying raw and naked on a rundown table in the Ruining Tree Club where Ike golfs. On the next table lay Sen. Tom Hen nings. Democrat of MissomL Tom, when are we Boing to get out of here?" asked Halleck from under a wet towel. "I'm afraid to talk to you," drawled the senator from Mis souri. "I've been heading about you being a tough, relentless, gut-fighter, the Presidents lead er in Congress. It didn't sound like the old Charlie Halleck 1 used to know in the House." When are we going to get out of here?' repealed Halleck. undaunlcd by Hennings' kidding. "Well, we're all tired of each other, and the counlry's lird of us," replied the Missouri Demo crat. "We ought to give the country a rest and come back in the winter, 1 but you're the President's leader, you're the tough gut-fiybter. Why don't you do something about adjourn ing Congress?" Reviewing Congress Senator Hennings was not far jff. His old friend Charlie Hal 'eek had more to do with up holding the Residents hand on a long string of vetoes and run ning circles around good old 77-year-old Sam Rayburn than anyone else in Washington. And now that Congress has adjiurn ed it might be well to take a brief moment from speculating over Nikita Khrushchev to figure how Charlie did it. He did it by the simple expe dient of promising 33 key south ein congressmen everything they wanted in the way of slapping down the Negro, if they in turn would slap down housing, aid to education, rural electrification, a moderate labor bill, and any thing else Eisenhower wanted defeated. In return, the civil rights bill was blocked for weeks in the House Judiciary Committee. Hal leck had the votes to bring it out at any time. The U Repub licans on that committee have been almost completely loyal to him. Hut the congressmen from the party of Abraham Lincoln threw their weight with south NEW Savings for Two-Car Families! if on . bodily Injury and property damage collision cover g medical payments FARMERS INSURANCE GROUP AUTO LIFE FIRE t TRUCK Doug Holman Insurance Page 6 em congressmen to water down the bill and hold it up for months. Even GOP Congressman Arch Moore, who represents a strong Negro district in North ern West Virginia, went along with Halleck Ihough it may de feat him. As a result, even the loser bill to try to prevent the dynamiting of schools and places of worship at lost in committee. A south ern congressman, Carl Loser of Tennessee, introduced the anti dynamiting bill, but failed to gel northern support. When Halleck faced a battery of newspaper questions on "Meet the Press," Sarah McClendon of the El Paso Times was the only one to goad Charlie on Ihe tick lish question cf the GOP-South- em alliance. It's supposed to be the privilege of a diplomat and a politician to lie. Charlie smil ingly and effectively exercised that privilege. As he did so, his own party whips and the COP policy com mittee members were having regular meetings with a careful ly selecled group of soulhern congressmen in order to streng then the coalition, which Charlie swore did not exist. The key southerners they pick ed were: Frank Boykin of Ala bama, E. C. Gathings and Qren Harris of Arkansas, Syd Herlong of Florida, John Pilcher, E. L. Forrester, James Davis and Iris Hliich of Georgia, Otlo Passman if Louisiana, John Williams and William Colmer of Mississippi. Graham Garden and Carl Duf- ham of Norlh Caroline, Mendel Rivers, John Riley, W. J. Dorn and John McMillan of Soulh Car olina. O. C. Fisher of Texas, and Howard Smith, Vaughanr Gary, Walkins AbbilL William Tuck snd Burr Harrison of Virginia. Olher congressmen joined Ihe coalition at times. But this was the little group of regulars that Halleck could not count on. This was why when the margin, of votes was slipping against him during the first veto fight over the public works bill, Halleck vas able to get Herlong of Flor ida, a Democrat, to switch his vote in order to uphold the Pres ident.

The place: Moscow. The quote: "At last it's come true." Moscow took on a holiday air this week, and the usually stand offish Russians were extending the hand of friendship to Ameri cans in a way unprecedented since the end of World War II. tiveness, he took some risks. Chief risk is that northern Ne gro voters will wake up. Negro voters read the newspapers less than some other groups, but once they wake up they don't for get. And Halleck runs the grave risk of having the big bloc of Negro voters in northern cities who were beginning to lean Re publican suddenly wake up to the fact that they were the goats of the 86th Congress. They didn't know it at the time, but they were responsible for upholding the President's hand. And each time it was up held, they were sold down the river. For in addition to Negro inter est in civil rights, Negroes need public housing perhaps more than any other group. They al so need better schools. But each time these questions came up, Ike's leader in the- house, Charlie Halleck, rallied Republican votes with the Dixiecrats to block or defeat legislation. Another risk Halleck took is industrial repercussions in the north. Some Republicans, as Sil vio Conle (Mass.), William Cahill iN.J.), and John Lindsay (N.Y.), began openly bucking the Halleck leadership. Others didn't buck openly but worried privately. Many come from strong labor districts. Even more come from industrial districts which will suffer from the migration of in dustry to the non-union south. And the Landrum-Griffin bill which Halleck pushed through Congress is likely to start the biggest migration of northern industry southward that this country has ever seen. Halleck's home state, Indiana, lost six Democratic congressmen last No vember, and he himself squeak ed through by only 6,000 votes. So if more industry moves out of Indiana as a result of Halleck's "relentless, restless gut-fighting," some of his GOP friends wonder how many more congressional seats their party will lose in the industrial north, including Indi ana.

He had invited her in to listen to a radio report of Soviet Premier Nikita Khru shchev's arrival in Washington. The air of unreality in Moscow Iceland Seeks U.S. General WASHINGTON UPI Union lawyers today studied Labor Sec retary James P. Mitchell's de mand under the new labor reform law that the Teamsters oust all officials who are ex-convicts. The implied demand was con tained in a telegram sent by Mitchell to Teamsters President James R. Hoffa Friday. Hoffa, who was in Detroit, re fused to comment on the move but said the telegram would be studied carefully by the union's legal advisers. Mitchell asked Hoffa to advise him "what action your organiza tion is taking" against certain types of ex-convicts barred from holding union office under the new labor law passed by Congress ear lier this month. He also asked Hoffa to give him within 10 days a list of any teams ter officials who have been con victed of robbery, bribery, extor tion and other felonies. Mitchell's action signaled the government's first action against unions under the act. The labor secretary, attending the AFL-CIO convention in San Francisco, said he also had asked the Justice Department to begin an immediate investigation of oth er unions which had ex-convicts or known Communists as officials. Mitchell did not identify the un ions but said they too would be required to send him a list of officials who might be violating the law.

Wrote a reporter for - Izvestia, the Soviet government newspaper: , 'The streets of Washington are packed with people ... a solid line of people lines the sidewalks . , . people are in windows of houses, on fences and roofs. The applause grows into ovation . . . all along the way they warmly greet Khrushchev . . . you hear friendly shouts at Khrushchev." In Moscow, there was no one to tell Ivan that it wasn't quite that way. ' There had been bigger throngs in Washington and certainly more demonstrative ones. Crowd Was Restrained Wrote UPI correspondent Jack V. Fox: "(Khrushchev I drove through crowd-packed streets amid polite applause but scarcely a cheer of welcome." This was a wait-and-see crowd. Undoubtedly, a large part of its makeup was curiosity the first leader of Soviet Russia to come to the United States, a man who could reel off a homely parable, who could talk of peace and free dom even as he snarled to West ern diplomats, "We will bury you." But this crowd also contained an awareness that it would tak) more than a toothy smile or a gesture to sweep away barriers, many of which were of his or of world Communism's own making. The Eisenhower meeting was one long-sought by Khrushchev and he lost no time in springing his own particular type of propa ganda. Olive Branch Contains Rocket "Cur countries are much too strong and we cannot quarrel with each other," he said. It was an olive branch entwined about a rocket. But of the sober reflections in Washington and elsewhere in the United States, Ivan was told nothing. For him, it was the prelude to the end of the cold war and the restraints were falling away. Ivan will do as the state tells him. If he is disappointed at the outcome of the current meetings, the state will tell him how to re act. But the effects of the reports going back to Moscow are global and, are intended to be that way. It is high-pressure propaganda de signed to force Western conces sions or face the wrath of peoples Whfise hopes have . been falsely raised. Tnciscan reg. 16.95 J
