Nixon Sounded out on Visit; Health Problems Seen By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Editor From the foreign newt editor's assignment book: The Sawdust Trail Soviet diplomats quietly are sounding out whether Vice President Richard M. Nixon would like to return Soviet Deputy Premier Anas tas Mikoyan's U. S. tour early this summer. Moscow Boss Nikita Khrushchev occasion ally speaks of the greeting President Eisenhower would get in the Soviet Union. At the moment however, the wel come mat appears aimed most ly at Nixon. Apparently Khrushchev would like to get a close up of the man who may be the next president. Doctors Orders The Kremlin also is wond ering how a summit confer ence could be held this sum mer if White House physicians advise the President against making long trips. Khrush chev is more than willing to travel to Washington to see the President. The Russians also are considering the pos sibility the President might ask Vice President Nixon to sit in for him should sum mit negotiations prove long or drawn out. The Russians might be willing to accept Nix on. They are determined there will be a conference as close to the summit as possible. Their object, as one Soviet diplomat put it, is to "thin out the military fuel" in Eur ope in order to maintain a po litical status quo. First objec tive in the "thinning out" pro cess: Western troops out of Berlin. More About Health Andwhat of Khrushchev's health - and the recent report In a West German newspaper that he had been suffering fainting spells? The most au thoritative line from the Kremlin is this: Khrushchev is not a sick man, but like any man of 65, he must watch himself carefully. He is be-i ginning to tire easily and has long had liver trouble. It's pointed out that Khrushchev has had a far more strenuous indeed gruelling, life than most statesmen. This includes work in pre-revolutionary coal mines as well as the in tense strain of working under Stalin and surviving the pow er scramble after Stalin's death. So the Kremlin is con cerned about Khrushchev's health. But no specific ground for concern are seen at the moment. Iron Curtain Secrecy The Soviets apparently do not always inform the Com munist East Germans about their Berlin strategy in ad vance. Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev's statement that May 27 is just another date caught East Germans by sur prise. They had been predict ing confidently that on May 27 they would get complete control of Western Allied traf ic to West Berlin. But Khrushchev said controls will not be handed over until a peace treaty is signed. Bottoms Up There are reports Britain is making overtures to Chile and Argentina for possible joint tenure of the Graham or Palmer land penirsula in the Antarctic. If such advances are being made, they could stem from a jet age project to use the South Polar route at the bottom of the world for faster communication with Australia. Canadian Pacific first brought up the idea some two years ago. Officials point ed out the possibility of an excellent payload through La tin American countries en route. Pay Dirt One story about how the Communists finance their propaganda activities in Latin America is that they smuggle gold or national currencies by mule back through secret mountain passes. An easier method is the exhibition of films from Iron Curtain coun tries. The film costs are cheap and the revenue from exhib itors need not necessarily be remitted. Some famous Soviet pictures have been going the rounds for many years.

Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF- N AMBITIOUS JUNIOR from Vassar was earning a little extra pocket money by baby-sitting for a Poughkeepsie ac countant when she ran into a rather special problem. She was telling her 6-year-old , charge the story of Cinder ella, and really let herself go when she reached the part where the pumpkin turned into a resplendent gold coach. That's where the accountant's offspring interrupted. "How did Cinderella handle the deal?" he want ed to know. "Did she list it as straight additional in come or try to call it a capi tal gain?" James Thurber, great humorist, loves to discover typographical errors and other boners In the nation's newspapers. This one, printed in a California paper over 20 years ago, is just about his favorite: "Among the first to enter the airplane was Mrs. Clara Adams of Tannersville, Pa, lone woman passenger. Slowly her nose was turned around to face in a south westerly direction. Then, like some strange beast, she crawled along the grass." 1939, by Bennett Cerf. Distributed by Kins' Features Syndicate.
