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-

were removed unharmed.
minute speech, he fiddled con
stantly with his glasses, banging
them on his desk and frequently
hitting the tips of the ear pieces
together as he sought to em
phasize particular points.
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.
