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

Bock Stairs: Ike's Press Conferences
By MERRIMAN SMITH
United Presi While House Writer
Washington-rn?) 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.

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

could tell me where all the
rooms were, how they were
used, who occupied them, since
she was at the conference the
entire time and she would make
all the arrangements, since now
the palace was a sanitarium for
potential heart patients who are
under observation.
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.

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,

some degree of control over the

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.

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.
