Back Stairs: Beating Ike To Moscow By MERRIMAX SMITH United Press White House Writer Washington 0!.R Back stairs at the White House: It was at the windup of the recent Big Four meeting in Ge neva. Two lower echelon mem bers of the American delega tion staff were talking about the efforts of a particularly well known American correspondent to get a visa to Russia. "He's probably trying to get the visa in time for President Eisenhower's trip to Moscow," said one of the staff members with a perfectly serious face. While this would seem to be more facetious than factual for the moment, it still was Mr. Eisenhower, himself, who told America last Monday night that there was "the greatest possible degree of agreement" at Geneva en a greater flow of travel be tween East and West. If the President is so desirous of greater travel between this country and Russia, he could take the lead himself but probably won't. The Russian leaders undoubtedly would have to visit Washington first. In all of the international meetings of the past on the chief of state level, it has been the American who flew either into or near the Russian orbit. Colorful figures that they are. if Messrs. Bulganin, Khrush chev and Zhukov decided to visit the United States, they would constitute one of the greatest crowd attractions of many years, just as Mr. Eisen hower would in Moscow. Mr. Eisenhower must have had the sound engineers half daffy during his Monday night broadcast. Throughout his 15- TO THE RESCUE An unidentified resident of Methodist Home for the Aged at Topeka, Kan., is helped out a window of the burning building by volunteer rescue workers.

The President's delivery and performance were convincingly natural, but he seemed unusual ly "busy" as he played with his glasses, shuffled notes on his desk and kept poking his thumb into a left vest pocket. The chartered press plane that accompanied Mr. Eisenhower to Geneva did not exactly ac company him back. The big TWA ship, carrying a much heavier load than the Presi dent's aircraft, started out on the return from Geneva about 30 minutes late because the plane had to be held for Press Secretary James C. Hagerty. When the press plane landed at Prestwick, Scotland, for gas, Mr. Eisenhower's plane was re fueled and ready to go. The press ship would hav been off in a hurry, too, but the truck hauling gas for the plane broke down far on the other side of the field. Rather than wait all night for a new truck, the press plane then flew to Shannon, Ireland, for gas and on to Gander. New foundland, for another refueling stop. Mr. Eisenhower, meantime, hightailed it for Bangor, Maine, where he refuled and beat the press into Washington by sev eral hourj. Nationwide Copper Strike in 5th Week Denver U.R) The fourth week of the nationwide copper strike ends today with no sign that the Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers Union is any nearer to a wage settlement with three big producers. Meetings between representa tives of the independent union and Kennecott Copper Corp. at Salt Lake City were fruitless yesterday. Mine-Mill headquar ters here had nothing to report regarding negotiations with American Smelting & Refining and Phelps-Dodge. The processors have asked President Eisenhower to end the walkout with a Taft-Hartley in junction. But the White House said in Washington the situation would have to be weighed to determine whether a national emergency wag being precipitated.
