Mfh 1 TWO FIRST LADIES Mrs. Mamie Eisenhower and Mrs. Nikita Khrushchev talk in front of the White House in Washington D.C. prior to attending a state - dinner given for the Khrushchevs by the Eisenhowers. Mrs. Khruschev is visiting the U.S. with her husband Nikita Khrushchev, who is the Soviet Premier. Soviet Radio Says Nikita 'Welcomed' MOSCOW UPI The Moscow Radio Home Service told its lis teners today that Premier Nikita Khrushchev was greeted at Glen dale, Calif., by a group of people carrying "We Like Khrushchev" banners. The broadcast report of Khrush chev's Los Angeles to San Fran cisco trip was in contrast to re ports in Pravda of his Los Angeles visit. Pravda said Khrushchev's route through Los Angeles was concealed from the people. "It seems as if someone in Cal ifornia was afraid of meetings be tween the head of the .Soviet gov ernment and the plain people," Pravda said. The statement was almost the only sour note in the extensive press and radio coverage given his American tour. The home radio service today, after reporting Khrushchev's "warm welcome" in Los Angeles, gave this version of his train ride to San Francisco: "Everywhere there were groups of people who approached the rail way to wave. At Glcndale station the train was met by a large group of people carrying banners of "We Like Khrushchev." ""One group of young people dis played a banner with the word Peace'." . . s "At Santa Barbara thousands ol tBei town's inhabitants assembled in (he railway yard and applause nod. greetings met Nikita Serge yeyich Khrushchev when he came oul of the carriage to greet the public." Moscow Radio said crowds met him in San Francisco with "more than 40.000" near his hotel when he left his car. It said he "went straight to the people and warmly greeted the Americans and shook their hands.". It said the gather ing replied "with applause and cries of welcome."

More than 25 million calls are placed each month on the 170,000 telephones in the West Coast Service area. This is an average of ten calls each day-in or out-for each telephone in our system. Ever increasing demands' are made on our facilities as new people constantly move into the areas we serve. Our first task, to these new residents, is to provide a tele phone for anyone who wants one, We are investing large sums of money on facilities and equipment, continually adding new lines in order to "up-grade" existing lines to the point where we can fill er industries. Ted Short, chairman of the Western Carriers Conference Committee, added that "tremen dous and steadily rising competi tive pressures' also dictated the pay cuts. The nonoperating rail unions represent 550.000 workers includ ing clerks, telegraphers and sta tion agents not directly involved in moving trains. Short said that nonoperating employes were earning an aver age of $2.37 an hour as of last July. This compared with an av erage of $2.16 for industrial work ers. Short said. Since 1953. he said, hourly pay raises for rail workers have tot aled 59 cents, as opposed to an average of 43 cents for workers in general manufacturing. The committee demanded that current hospital, medical and surgical plans continue to be en tirely employe-financed. In 1958, the statement said, the roads' rate of return on invest ment fell 2.76 per cent, dropping the industry to last among (he nation's 65 major industries.
