Mrs. FDR's Telegrai FlnaEfy By ELEANOR ROOSEVELT New York Here is how I ob tained my interview with Nikita S. Khrushchev, chief of the Com munist party of the Soviet Union, on my recent trip to Russia. I asked for the interview the day of my arrival in Moscow, Sept. 3, and my Intourist inter preter seemed to think it quite natural a request. The next day he told me Mr. Khrushchev would like me to submit my questions in writing. I submitted them with a note explaining why I was anxious to have his interview and why I thought the answers to these questions would be of value in helping to strengthen under standing between our countries. I mentioned that I had to leave the Soviet Union Sept. 23. Complete Silence From that day on there was complete silence. Each time I re turned to Moscow I asked if there was any message setting the date and I told my Intourist interpreter I would be willing to go wherever Mr. Khrushchev was. In fact, we were going to Socchi, which is near Yalta where he was on vacation. Jime passed and no word. We went to Socchi and back and I came into Moscow for the last time on Sept. 23 and decided I must do something drastic. So, after consultation, I wired Mr. Khrushchev at the Kremlin, say ing that I would be willing to go to Yalta, that I had to leave for the U.S. on the 28th and that C They'll Do It Every Time im 7Wicry-Ei6ur.iN THE BEST OF HEALTH-.

Back stairs at the White House: This is the end of National Newspaper week during which President Eisenhower has called on the country to "honor the journalists of our land who daily supply us with many of the facts and opinions which form the basis of our decisions." Reading these words and watching the smooth courteous manner in which Eisenhower conducts his own press confer ences, it is difficult to realize that this is the same man who only five years ago had severe misgivings about relations with reporters in general. When the President exchanges informal remarks with report ers on the golf course about the state of his game, it is difficult to realize that this is the man who five years ago did not want to hold regular press conferences as president. The close working relation ship between Press Secretary James C. Hagerty and other an and earn Arrange 0 U I had a considerable audience that would be interested in this interview. Still nothing happened. But on the afternoon of the 25th, while I was at a meeting with a government official, my inter preter suddenly said: "Oh, I for got to tell you we go to Yalta tomorrow morning." Four Hour Flight I asked how long this would take and was told the flight was four hours each way. I said I would fly down, see Mr. Khrush chev and return the next morn ing. Nothing was said, but after we got back to the hotel my lady came up to me and said: "The plane leaves at 10 o'clock in the morning, but we cannot fly over the mountains, so there will be a drive of two and a half to three hours over the moun tains before reaching Yalta. I cannot tell you until arrival what hour we will be received. We will return the following day, Friday, but there is no plane until 4 p.m. and that will necessitate that we leave Yalta at 1 p.m." I was appalled, for I would be getting into Moscow at 9 p.m. What if the weather was bad? I would miss my flight to the U.S. on Saturday morning. But I made up my mind to trust in Heaven, and I simply said I hoped there would be time to go and see the palace in which the Yalta Conference had been held. My interpreter was pleased about this, because she said she members of the President's staff and the White House reporters and photographers makes it al most unbelievable to recall that in late 1952 and early 1953, the President was listening to ad visers who advocated moving the press corps completely out of the White House. At least two of "Eisenhower's top ranking staff members want ed the traditional White House press room abolished and turn ed into office space. Other ad visers at the start of the Eisen hower administration wanted the President to bar reporters from interviewiBg presidential visit ors. One of Eisenhower's early staff executives even ordered police to remove all visible evidence of camera and lighting equipment around the entrance to the west wing offices of the chief executive. It is probably better for all concerned that this staff member has long since de parted from White House service because he probably would have tantrums at the sight of the litter of cable, lights and tripods tip...

We took the flight. We drove over the mountain road. Then, in the hotel, we waited to hear the plans. After about an hour, I was given the information that Mr. Khrushchev would send his car for us the next morning at 9:30, so I would have to leave the hotel at 8:30 if I wanted to see the conference palace. I agreed to this at once and was told his car would meet us there. We saw where the conferees met. their dining room, my hus band's private dining room, his bedroom and study, Anna's bed room and Elliott's room, and where Edward R. Stettinius and various other officials kslept. In these rooms today there are many men and women taking the rest cure as prescribed by the doctors in charge. Since this is one of the old palaces of the czars, we were told which rooms were occupied by various mem bers of the Czar's family. Greeted by Patients The view was marvelous and I found, the visit very interest ing. But I was surprised, on com ing out. to be greeted by quite a crowd of patients with cheers and warm expressions of pleas ure at seeing me. Mr. Khrushchev's car was By Jimmy Hatlo HOWCUM DEPT.

A great deal of credit for Eisenhower's emergence as an affable news source must go to Hagerty who is an expert tech nician on handling news in all media. Hagerty has never let up in his efforts to prove the bene fits of an open-door news policy, although Jim prefers to keep some degree of control over the news output at the White House. Accounting Rated Fast Growing Line "Despite its youth, accounting is the fastest growing profession in the nation" Melvin R. Free man, Executive Director of the Oregon Society of Certified Pub lic Accountants, told a meeting of the Southern Oregon Chapter of the Society, in Klamath Falls recently. Freeman said that the number of CPA's has increased considerably in the last 30 years. Freeman said "Accounting has become of increased importance since 1900 because of three ma jor trends: The great expansion of industrial activity accom panied by wider public owner ship of corporate enterprise; in creased government influence on business, especially tax-wise; the search for increased effici ency in the mass-production sys tem." The speaker said that there is a great shortage of certified pub lic accountants and that many more are needed to serve the economy. Kenneth Lambie, CPA; was in charge of the meeting. Six of the accountants attending the meeting from Southern Oregon were from Medford, it was reported. 1 br ll METAL WORKS Commercial Industrial Residential Sheet Metal Work Stainless, Galvanized and Copper Fabrication 2237 West Main PHONE SP 2-4440 iterview there at 9:30 sharp and we drove a considerable distance until we finally drove downhill towards the Black Sea and, passing first through one gate with a soldier guard and then another with a similar guard, we finally reached the house. It was a comfortable house on a beautiful site looking across at the city of Yalta. We found Mr. Khrushchev and another gentleman walking in the garden. We were on time to the minute, and he greeted us. As I expressed admiration of the view, he walked me down to get a full panorama of the city and explained to the inter preter that it was especially beautiful at night when the lights were lit. Then he took us to the porch, where we sat at a bis table and talked. Mr. Khrushchev is short and stocky of build. He told us he had been a factory worker, but he is extremely articulate and expresses his views with con fidence and clarity. As a human being, I think you cannot help but like him, though you may disagree with his views. At the end of the interview he invited us in for coffee and re freshments. Fruits, cakes and candies were on the table and we were offered tea or coffee. His wife came in a simple per son but, I am sure, a woman of character. His daughter and her husband also joined us, as well as the gentleman who took notes throughout our interview. (Copyright. 1957, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.) "No. Edsel ". . . to come.
