Hundreds of Invitations Pour In for Khrushchev's U.S. Tour By FRANK ELEAZER United Press International Washington- (LTD -From the hundreds of invitations pour ing in here for Nikita Khru- i shchev s forth coming V1S1 I, it's hard to say whether the plan is to bore him to death, scare him to death, or just wear, him out. His presence is being sought Frank Eleaxcr IOr CIVIC C1UD luncheons, local fairs, and meetings of county commis sions. It has been suggested he would enjoy visiting a Glenridge, N. J., girl scout troop and the junior women's club of Elk Grove Village, 111. He also has been. urged to if It: Nice to Budgets! niderV Quality DAIRY FOODS attend' 'a' turkey day fete in Worthington, Minn., and to address the Brooklyn Ocean Front Men's Civic and Social club. Defense, officials are offer ing him a guided tour of secret missile and bomber bases. It is said that watching an Atlas missile blast off its pad, or a B-52 jet leap , from the run way, is an experience to shake anybody, even one of us na tives if we could get security clearance to see it. Ike's Ideas Listed President Eisenhower said he wants Khrushchev to see ordinary homes, maybe those at Levittown, Pa.; a view of the Washington area from Jke'sTielicopter; farm country;, and Ike's boyhood home of Abilene, Kan., where he said he can prove how hard he worked as a youth. Nothing much is firm ' yet on which invitations Khru shchev will accept. Meantime they arrive in each mail. Am bassador Mikhail Menshikov says the Russian embassy is considering "hundreds'' al ready in hand. Some 150 in vitation's have reached the State, Department, ..for consid eration and relay if desired. Khrushchev has expressed an interest in Washington, New York, Chicago, San Fran cisco; a corn farm at Coon Rapifis, Iowa; Florida; a plas tics plant. He also wants to go on TV, but no decision has been reached on who ought to get equal time. -Moscow, Idaho Makes Claim Moscow, Idaho, wants in on the schedule. So do a whole batch of cities with not near so. good an excuse. All Los Angeles wants is the Democra tic National Convention next year.' . " The National Coal associa tion thinks an old miner like Khrushchev may want to go underground while he's here. It is offering a nice choice of mines for his visit. A Detroit salt mine has been made avail able by the International Salt company, in case he would feel more at home there. Tyler, Tex., has asked the State Department " to invite Khrushchev to visit Van Cli burn, the pianist who wowed music lovers in Moscow' at Tyler, "the epitome of small town America." Well, not quite the epitome. There's Kil gore, Tex., about 30, miles away, where Cliburn actually lives. According . to . Tyler folks, Kilgore is too small to accommodate K h r u shchev's big party. Clevelanders Views Differ Rep. Charles A. Vanik (D Ohio) has announced , that Cleveland with the country's highest concentration of Hun- In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS ALL FRYERS BE LLALBLsLUHlS) New "Label Law" Benefits You Now all the guess-work's gone when you buy chicken.

BRAND NAMES FOUNDATION " Incorporated ' A Non-Profit Educational Foundation 37 Wert 57th St., New York 19, N. Y. MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE From the Salem Statesman: "To counter the tale of death and destruction which visited Roseburg last Friday morning come reports of the magnificent response of pub lic agencies and private cit izens to administrator relief and organize for recovery. "Particularly noteworthy was the cooperation among all organizations. The law en forcement bodies sprang qliickly to action: the sheriff and his reserves, the mayor and city police, the National Guarid quickly in uniform to prevent looting, the civil de fense organization set up for just such an emergency, the American Red Cross, hospitals and doctors and nurses, and quickly state officials arrived. Excellent coordination is re ported, with no rivalry for command; instead a rivalry for bringing succor to the stricken and containing the fires spread by the explosion. ' "It is good proof of the ability of the American peo ple to rise to a crisis, combin ing initiative and courage and diligence with a spirit of cooperation." 21 THAT suggests a subject of the utmost importance Mr. K's impending ' visit to the United States. What will he see? , What should he be allowed to see? What conclusion will he draw from what he DOES see? There is the steel strike, for example which has prac ticaly closed down America's huge steel industry, which is fundamental to America's de fense. It can't help ocurring to him .that a strike of such magnitude is a sign of weak ness. It wil probably occure to his crafty mind that if he could COMMUNIZE enough key people here he could call a strike at the exact moment when he was ready to attack us. PUT- If we're to gain anything out of his visit,' we mustn't tell him what he CAN see and what he CAN'T. That would give him the impression that we are weak and know it and don't want him to see how weak we are. That would spoil the whole thing. So Let's let him see us AS WE ARE. Let's let him know we think we're good- enough to be ,seen by ANYBODY, friend or enemy. A FINAL thought suggest ed by the Statesman's dis criminating and understand ing -comment: I wish Mr. K could have seen the city of Roseburg in its hour of travail ' and trag edy. The quick and effective cooperation in the face of stark catastrophe. The forget fulness of self. The city po liceman who stood fast and died . fighting the creeping line of flame that might have got away and made a holo caust of the already explosion-shattered city. The peo ple who dashed into the cor tex of destruction to do what they could to help, instead of running the other way to save their twn lives. IF MR. K who is RUSSIA could have seen all that with' his own eyes he couldn't have escaped the conclusion that these Americans may talk tommyrot in their hours of ease, but' in the pinches THEY ARE INDOMITABLE. garian refugees, can get by without a visit from Khru shchev. But a Cleveland rock 'n' roll enthusiast has cabled Moscow direct inviting Khru shchev to dig a record hop there Sept. 14. A Dayton, Ohio, radio sta tion has asked the Soviet pre mier to drop in to edit and supervise one of its newscasts. The American Automobile as sociation here wants him to inspect Washington's Express way system. Local drivers are for this but wonder how it's going to get built in a month. Protocol experts say one thing Khrushchev has to see first thing when he gets off the plane, is about 1,500 ham mers and sickles, adorning the local light poles. We fly na tional emblems for all visiting big shots. The Washington Daily News meantime has urged all of us to be calm. Let the super markets handle Khrushchev's visit, the News said in an edi torial. They've had more ex perience. Onlv about 30 ter cent of all Americans see efficiently ! without visual aids.
