President Opens News Coference With Announcement of Exchange of Visits (Continued from page 1) The President opened the press conference by saying he had called it to announce an impending exchange of visits between himself and Khrush chev. He called his announcement one of the worst kept secrets in a long time. In a formal statement which he read, Eisenhower said Khrushchev Will visit Wash ington for two or three days and will spend 10 days or so traveling in the United States. The President indicated that he may accompany Khrush chev during a small part of the visit. His own visit to Moscow, he said, will come later in the fall and will give him the op portunity to see first hand the country, its people and how they live. Simultaneous Announcements The President said in his statement, "Both governments expressed the hope that the forthcoming visits will help create better understanding between the United States and the Union of So"iet Socialist Republics and will promote the cause of peace. Almost identical language was used in a simultaneous statement issued in Moscow. Eisenhower said the ex change was his idea. He told newsmen that written corre spondence between himself and Khrushchev was started a month ago. He said he suggested to the state department some time ago that an exchange of visits would be useful in order to melt a little bit of the ice that seems to have frozen TJ. S. relations with the Soviet Union. ' Details of the visits are still being worked out by the two governments. He said he consulted with members of Congress early today about the visit and that those whom he had heard from were favorably disposed. Possibility of Trouble In answer to a question, Eisenhower conceded that there was a problem involved in the possibility of incidents being created by some U. S. citi2ens when Khrushchev vis its this country. He said, however, that this possibility has been pointed out to Soviet representatives. When Soviet Deputy Pre mier Frol Koslov visited this country last month, unpleas antness arose when the mayor of Detroit refused to receive him officially. He emphasized that while he intends to discuss problems of "mutual interest" when he talks with Khrushchev, his visit to the Soviet Union will EXCLUSIVEI Measures Light through the Lens!

Nixon about the negotiations for the visits the day that Nixon left on his trip to the Soviet Union. He said he did this because he did not want the vice president to be surprised if the Soviet Union officials mentioned it to- him in the'r talks. Nixon Made Broad Hints Nixon broadly hinted throughout his 10-day stay in Russia that he felt a visit to the U.S. by Khruschev should take place. Just before his departure from Moscow Sunday Nixon said he felt the Soviet leader Congressmen Hail Impending Washington (DPD -Members of Congress generally hailed today th : impendir ex change of visits by President Eisenhower and Soviet Pre mier K 'ishchev. However one, Republican senator,, Homer E. Capehart (Ind.), said "it looks like we're again being taken in by the Russians." Capehart, a member of the Senate For eign Relations committee, said the Russians have not done anythinr "to warrant all-out friendliness." "In the past we refused to invite dictators who were friendly to us-Peron, Tito and Franco," he added. "Now we've Invited ' e biggest dic tator of all." Leaders Applaud Move Senate GOP Leader Ever ett M. Dirksen (111.), said not only this generation but his tory as well "will applaud the bold move by President Elsenhower to bring Khrush chev to the United States and to return the visit at an early date." . Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson (Tex.) said "this is a type of ex change which could do much for the whole world." Emphasizing his believe in an "open curtain," John son said the exchange of visits should be encouraged "at every level so that we can know the truth, about each other." Senate Democratic Whip Mike Mansfield (Mont.) said such exchanges of visits are "acts intimately related to the conduct of foreign pol icy." He pledged his "full support" to the President's decision.

Eisenhower told his regular news conference last week that while Nixon had no of ficial authority to extend such an invitation, he had the right to discuss the pros and cons of the idea on a personal basis. The President said his trip to Europe late in August will be for the purpose of going over a number of problems that ought to be talked out among western leaders. He said these will include sub jects other than the exchange of visits' between himself and Khrushchev. He said he doubted that he would get to Bonn, the capi- Visits Can See for Himself House GOP Leader Charles A. Halleck and.): "I know of no beter way to impress Mr. Khrushchev than to let him see for himself our unity, our strength and determina tion and our peaceful pur poses;" Earlier, Capehart and Sen Alexander Wiley (R-Wis.) had urged a "go slow" attitude toward inviting Khrushchev. Bat another Republican, Sen. Jacob K. Javits (N.Y.), said he favored inviting Khrushchev to this country for a face-to-face meeting with President Eisenhower. The GOP s ators ex pressed their views after Vice President Richard M. Nixon said ii 7 Coscow he be lieved that the Soviet pre mier should br asked to visit the United States "at some time." Wiley said any invita,'on to Khrushchev should be ex tended only after the Rus sian leader too" "concrete and constructive" steps to ease international tension. Capeh rt urget" caution in inviting Khrushchev "so that we won't be taken in like we have in the past." He said he could not understand the "enthusiasm" i i some U. S. quarters for tho idea and added: "I, for one, am not ready to forgive them for their past sins." Javits said a personal meet ing between Eisenhower and Khrushchev might get more results than a "staged" dip lomatic conference by heads of government. He said the United States should get the consent of its Allies before inviting the Soviet leader, however. Designed for beginners... PRODUCES MOVIES ACCLAIMED DYPROS Lifelike Color . . .

He left the impression he probably would go both to London and Paris. . West Approves Idea The Khrushchev visit to the United States would be un precedented in that it would be the first time in history that the head of government of Russia has come to this country. Eisenhower's visit to the Soviet Union will mark the second time that an American President has made the trip. President Franklin D. Roose velt met with the British and Soviet heads of government at the Crimean resort of Yalta during the late stages of World War H. Eisenhower emphasized during his 15-minute news conference that he was not intending to negotiate East West problems with Khru schev and that he had ar ranged the exchange of visits only as a means of easing tensions. He made it clear that the preliminary ' written discus sions with the Russians went on without consulting British Prime Minister Harold Mac millan and French President Charles de Gaulle. However, he emphasized that the western chiefs of state have approved of the visits when they were noti fied last week and that Mac millan had .told him that he was delighted. Western spokesmen in Ge neva made it clear over the week end that France and Great Britain and West Ger many were favorable to a Khrushchev visit to the Unit ed States as a means of eas ing tensions and possibly leading to a break in the stalemated negotiations.

New Outbreaks of Violence Feared In Mexico Vole Tijuana, Mexico-(DPD -New outbreaks of violence in the wake of the wounding of a 3-year-old girl and charges of ballot cheating and politi cal arrests were, feared to day when the government an nounces the results in Baja California's second major election.
