Russians Delay Trip
To Czechoslovakia
London w Soviet Premier
Nikolai Bulganin and Commu
nist Party chief Nikita Khru
schev were reported today to
have postponed a scheduled visit
to Czechoslovakia because of
"Poznan-style'' unrest in that
Communist country.
They originally were sched
uled to arrive in Prague Tues
day but cancelled the trip with
out making a formal announce
ment. Soviet sources in Prague
laid they are expected to visit
the Czech capital next week.
Some sources compared the
current unrest in Czechoslovakia
to that in Poland which resulted
in the bloody Poznan riots a
year ago.
Bulganin told United Press
correspondent Henry Shapiro in
Moscow last week he expected
to be in Prague July 2. but Sha
piro arrived there Sunday only
to learn from Soviet sources
that the trip has been postponed
to July 9.

Washington, D. C, oUne 26 It happened. We attended Presi
dent (gisenhewcr's press conference today to the surprise of
some of the veteran news men we talked to while waiting in the
hall before the conference starred and it was tremendously ex
citing. Fools rush in where angels fear tread, they say, and
because we didn't know that hundreds of people try to get
into a presidential press conference, and either wait months or
never get in at all, we just wrote and asked our congressman,
Charles O. Porter to arraSge the matter for us. And he did. Well,
one of his secretaries, Laura Olson, did.
When we talked with Miss Olson after our arrival Tuesday
afternoon, she said the matter had been arranged, and that I
was to present myself at the Northwest Gate to the White House,
identify myself and proceed to Press Secretary Hagerty's office
where a visitor's card would be issued. And we did just that.
We took a cab from the Mayflower, presented our National Fed
eration of Press Women's card to the g(Jrd; he took it and after
a telephone conversation, gave us the card back and waved Qhe
taxi on. The Negro driver was impressed, and to be perfectly
truthful. Potpourri was too.
Everything went on schedule. The door guard sent us on to
Hagerty's office, a Bctgy Allen supplied the card and told
Potpourri we were a Qllle early, and to wait in the outer office
for about 10 minutes before going across the street to the old
State Department building where the conferences are held. A
kind woman (everyone, abg-lutely everyone, was kind and
helpful) who works for the United States Information Service,
introduced us to Robert pivack of the New York Post, andhe
escorted us across the street, ana tola us vyiere to stand in tine
at the entrance to the conference room.
Everyone kept saying "Now, remember, you are not per
mitted to ask questions. Only the accredited correspondents are."
To which we replied over and over that no one would need
worry Potpourri wouldn't dream of saying a thing.
Mr. Spivack wanted to know how I had managed to get
into the press conference and when we answered trujj)fully
that we just asked CoOgressman porter to arrange it, and he did,
Mr. S. raised his eyebrows high and said "Porter! And he's a
DemocQt, too." As time went on this conversation was repeated,
in varying forms. A gir's in the TEPS conference press room
said in surprise that her husband who workejDon a newspap in
this vicinity had tried Qor months before he was permitted to
attend a conference.
The guards finally checked us into the room, which the
newsmen sai was as(!)ot as the Black Hole of Calcutta, and we
took a seat between Mr. Spivack and David Broder of the Con
gressional Quarterly. The room was jammed, it Qas stiflingly
hot and noisy with men talking, laughing and testing their
cameras (by taking shots of their fellow newsmen). Before long
the whisper went around "He'srcoming," we all rose and Presi
dent Eisenhower walked briskly in, with a smiling word to those
in the iront seats.
The conference was undervfit' at once. The President stood
between a large desk and chair with the presidential seal on
the wall above. As soon as the signal was given, a dozen men
sprang to theig feet saying urgently, "Mr. President Mr. Presi
dent" he chose one, seemingly at random, and the questions
began. In all our long years of newspapering we have never

seen room with so tense an atmosphere and one where reporters
worked so rapidly and so intently. The air fairly crackled the
cameras whirred and clicked and the .pencils and pens flew
over paper.
Marvin Arrowsmith of Associated Press wrote furiously,
moving his entire arm, shoulder and body and flicked the pages
over after each few words; Ray Scherer of NBC was just as
intent, but wrote only ith his hand; Mae Craig of "Meet the
Press" fame jso wrote busily; Martin Agronsky, formerly of
ABC and now a special commentator with NBC, listened with
care but did not appear to take notes. All through the room were
men and women whose voices we've heard, and whose by-lines
are familiar to millions, working as if the end of time approached.
Soon the men were stopping to mop their necks and faces
and their hands: their shirts were soaked with sweat and clung
to their bks and arms. The President, looking calm, fit and
well dressed in a brown suit, inclined, his head toward each
questioner, almost as would a deaf person, and as soon as the
question ended, began to speak with preciseness and authority.
He answered questions on his offer to suspend nuclear
testing fur a short period, saying he would not yield to the
pressure of "eminent scientists'' who want more Jime to work
on fibvelopment of a "clean bomb'' and added that another
reason advanced by the scientists asking for more testing time
was that the tests must go on if the country was to get full
vgiye out of atomic science for peace time use.
Other questions concerned recent decisions of the Supreme
Court justices, and the criticism which has followed in some
parts of the nation. The President said he thought the nation
should remember how carefully aijd thoroughly these decisions
are formulated and that the justices and the decisions should
be respected. Another question concerned inflation the Presi
dent said he was against price and wage controls during peace
times and outlined his ideas on how management and labor
could help hold down the inflationary spiral. Once or twice he
smiled in a genial fashion, and at one point toward the close
of the session he laughed outright when the United Press cor
respondent? Dayton Moore, geologized for having interrupted
him at the previous conference during a discussn of his vaca
tion Cplans. "Where was I?" asked the President with a grin
and the reporter said, "Sir, you had just said 'As I was about to
say'," and this brought a general laugh from the entire room.
The President then continued his remarks about vacation, saying
no definite plans had been made.
Potpori had been warned to watch the clock and to be
ready for the rush at 11 a.m. sharp, because the conference
always ends right on the hour and the men and women fight
for telephone lines out in the hall. We weren't trampled in
the exit, and sought out Martin Agronsky, one of our favorite
commentators. Mr. A( said he was more or less marking time
until fall, with only a brief broadcast daily for NBC, and in
Monday. July 1, 1957

the fall is to mak a series of special TV progfms. In the hall
he introduced us to Dana Schmidt of the NewoYork Times and
we listened with great interest as these .two sharp news men
discuss the conference, particularly the President's remarks
on nuclear testing and fallout, with which there seemed to be
some disagreement.
The rest of the day went in a whirl (believe it or not,
Potpourri didn't eat any breakfast, there just wasn't any time,
although we rose before 7 a.m.) and included luncheon with
Congressman Porter, who was to leave tonight at midnight for
Colombia, South America, for a three-day speaking tour: a
visit to the House of Representatives, a talk with Alex Hamilton,
who is working in the Senate postoffice and attending George
Washington univeQity; a TEPS conference speech and an Oregon
open house in the apartment of Margaret Perry. Oregonian,
who a few years ago was named McCall's magazine "Teacher
of the Year."
