    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

be a personal one with the
hope that it will do something
to promote understanding.
He said he told Vice Presi
dent Richard M. 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

Washington (DPD -Members
of Congress generally hailed

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. Mansfield is a For
eign Relations " committee
member.

should "at some time visit the

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

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

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.

said he was quite sure he
would see West German
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
somewhere along the line of
his trip in Europe. 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.
