Possible Nixon
Visit Discussed
Washington - (UPD - A pos
sible visit to Russia by Vice
President Richard M. Nixon
was discussed early last week
by Nixon and Soviet Deputy
Foreign Minister Anastas Mi
koyan, it has been learned.
No agreement was reached.
The Russian leader took the
position that he could not is
sue a formal invitation be
cause he was in this country
unofficially. Nixon voiced in
terest in the proposed trip but
pointed out that arrangements
would have to be made offi
cially. Informed sources described
the vice president as feeling
that Mikoyan is the ablest
Communist leader he has ever
met. He was portrayed as im
pressed by . the flexibility of
Mikoyan's approach to major
problems and the Communist
party line.
Nixon and others in the
government who have talked
with Mikoyan have described
him as a master politician
with 3 keen sense of humor,
unusually well briefed on his
nation and the persons with
whom he was talking.
Although there seemed
among these officials no
agreement on what Mikoyan's
objective was, most seemed
to feel that he was seeking
above all greater direct com
munication between individu
al officials of the two countries.
Tree Inherites
Land It Stands on
Athens, Ga.-(UPD-A tree that
inherited the land it stands
on from its father, who was
deeded the property by a Uni
versity of Georgia professor,
is now a sturdy white oak
30 feet tall.
The original "tree that own
ed itself" lived to the age
of 150. During its lifetime,
it dropped an acorn that grew
up to become the present oc
cupant of the plot on Finley
st. in downtown Athens.
The property was signed
over, to the tree by Professor
William H. Jackson in the
1820's. The deed conveyed "to
said white oak tree entire
possession of itself and of the
land within eight feet of it
on all sides."
