The most elaborate traffic restrictions in the his tory of Washington were ordered. Hfuge or Crank Feared - The principal fear of the security agents was that some aggrieved refugee from the Iron Curtain or irrational crank might try to bring phy sical harm to Khrushchev or create a mob scene to embar rass the Soviet leader and his host, President Eisenhower. Security agents have visited every hotel, store and office building along the route that Khrushchev will take from Andrews Air Force Base .to Blair House. They have asked responsible officials . in each building to make ; sure no stranger gains access to a roof or a window facing the pa rade route. Special Squad Detailed ; A special flying squad of security agents has been de tailed to precede the official motorcade by a few blocks, sealing every manhole along the way so that no would-be trouble-maker can pop up out of the sewers. ; The metropolitan police force has cancelled all leaves and days off. Its entire 2,500 man force will be- available lor duty. A police spokesman estimated '(that about 2,000 policemen actually will be sta tioned along or near the pa- jade route. ; Guardsmen To Help i About 500 Natiopal Guards ' men also will line the streets to help control crowds, ; Hundreds of plainclothes men will mingle with the spec tators to watch out for any suspicious persons. They have been instructed .to be par ticularly alert for out-of-town ears and for persons bearing packages. -.

West four Los Angeles - (UPD - Tourist Nikita Khrushchev will meet movie stars, make a whistle stop train tour and ride smack through the middle of a mis sile base during his one-day visit to Los Angeles and near by cities. ;. But he and his family may have to forego the average tourist's delight Disneyland, because U. S. .officials feel Khrushchev would be too ex posed to possible incidents if he took the previously sched uled one-hour tour. No one will say definitely whether Khrushchev will vis it Disneyland-and officials ap parently want to keep it that way so there are no waiting crowds if he decides to turn up at the playland. Not on Schedule William H. Parker, police chief of Los Angeles, indicat ed emphatically that Disney land was not , on the Soviet premier's schedule. But the state department said it was "unaware" of plans to cancel Khrushchev's trip there. Khrushchev and his entour age were ', tentatively sched uled to arrive at Los Angeles International Airport next Saturday from New York. Khrushchev will be greeted at the airport by Los Angeles Mayor Norris Poulson and other "dignitaries. Then he will be whisked immediately by car to the commissary of Twentieth Century-Fox stu dios in Beverly Hills, where he will address and have lunch with about 400 of the top members of the movie in dustry. . Top Stars Invited Although the state depart ment has banned the release of the guest list, it was learn ed that about 100 top stars had been invited - including Kim Novak, Frank Sinatra, Maurice Chevalier, Shirley MacLaine, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Gary Cooper, Doris Day, Audrey Hepburn, Rock Hudson, Lana Turner and Dena Martin. 1 Others invited were Sidney Poiter, Dorothy Dandridge, Spencer Tracy, Jack Benny, Danny Kaye, Jerry Lewis,.Ed ward G. Robinson, Gregory Peck, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Deborah Kerr, Janet Leigh, Dick Pow ell, June Allyson, Joan Col lins, Hedy Lamarr, Tony Cur tis, Ernest Borgnine, Debbie Reynolds, James Cagney, Kirk Douglas; Alan Ladd, . David Niven,. Burt Lancaster, James Stewart, Glenn Ford, Cary Grant, Dinah Shore, Sammy Davis Jr. and Nat (King) Cole. Hosts for the luncheon will be Eric Johnston, president of the Motion Picture Associa tion of America, and Spyros P. Skouras, president of Fox. Although the affair is industry-sponsored, it was un Perryddle Mile WS of Morlf nrl A derstood Skouras personally arranged for Khrushchev to visit his studio when he went to Moscow recently to present "The Diary of Anne Frank" at a film festival. To Visit Movie Set After lunch, Khrushchev will visit the set of "Can-Can," which stars Sinatra, Cheva lier and Miss MacLaine. Stu dios usually are closed on Sat urdays, so everyone connected wtih the special show for Khrushchev will be paid double-time. -'. Not all : of Hollywood's stars, however, were pleased with filmtown's planned hos pitality for the premier. Ward Bond, an outspoken anti-cqm-munist for years, said: "Johnston and the state de partment must have brought tremendous pressure to bear on Skouras to get him to in vite this man to his studio. The pressure must have been great because Skouras .is a 100 per cent, patriotic Ameri can." v . .- Bond and Adolphe Menjou are members of the Commit tee for Freedom of All Peo ples, which called upon Los Angeles citizens to "mourn the victims of Communism'' during Khrushchev's visit. The group called for "dignity, restraint and prayer" in the protest. After hi studio visit, Khrushchev will proceed to his quarters at the Ambassa dor hotel, whose president is G. David Schine, much-publi-cized ,aide to the late anti communist Sen. Joseph Mc Carthy (R-Wis.). Said Schine: "I - hope something good will come of Mr. Khrush chev's visit. Our hotel has been host to many state de partment guests, and 'we al ways do our very best to ac commodate all our guests with' special courtesy and at tention." To Occupy 'Royal Suite' Khrushchev and his family will occupy the hotel's "Royal Suite," a $116-a-day layout of three bedrooms, living room, kitchenette-bar and balcony with a wide view of the city, The suite, a blend of Orien tal and contemporary design with a color scheme ranging from pale pink to deep pur ple, also has three baths, and four powder rooms, a dressing room and eight telephones. At about 3:30 pjn., Khrush chevis scheduled to take an automobile tour of Los An geles. He will probably view a housing development, and if he goes to Disneyland it will be in the three hours before he returns to the hotel. Chief Parker said there would be no announcement of the routes Khrushchev will take or of the places he in tends to see. In fact, two local PEACHES TREE RIPENED' Improved Elbertas J. H. Hales .

At 6:30 p.m. Khrushchev will return to his suite for an hour's rest. . Then he will go downstairs to the Ambassa dor's Embassy room, where about 1,000 persons, will at tend a $12.50-a-head business smt banquet sponsored by Poulson, the Los Angeles World Affairs Council . and Town Hall, a discussion group. Khrushchev will address the gathering. No Vodka on Menu . The program calls for no music or entertainment, and only California wines - and champaignes will be served no vodka.

The train will have about 17 cars for the press and the Khrushchev entourage. An in formed source said Khrush chev has asked that the train make whistle-stops at Glen dale, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Salinas and San Jose so he can get out and meet people. To Pass Missile Base The high spot of the train trip is expected to come when Khrushchev 'passes through the middle of Vandenberg Air Force base, home of the first ballistic missile division of the Strategic Air Com mand. To one side, almost within stone-throwing distance, he will see two 12-story-high At las missiles. The first success ful operational Atlas was fired from Vandenberg last week. To the other side; Khrush chev will see five launching pads used for the Discoverer research project. As trains pass through the sprawling base, an experimental jet us ually follows them and an Air force spokesman said this will probably be no excep tion. .
