Khrushchev today began to translate into reality one of his favorite adages: "To see once is better than to read one hundred times."

To Promote Coexistence , The Soviet Premier said "I will be glad to talk with statesmen, representatives of the business world, intellectu als, wort ers and farmers, and to become' familiar with the life of the industrialists and enterprising American peo ple." Khrushchev said his visit was. intended to .promote "peaceful co-existence" - a principle he said "everyone should be guided .by."

"war does not prom ise anyone any good; peace is advantageous to all the na tions. This is the basic prin ciple which we believe the statesmen of all countries should be guided by in order to realize,, the aspirations of the people." Davidson Favors Splitting Votes , Portland-flJPD-Oregon Dem ocratic National Committee man C. Girard Davidson said Monday he favored authoriz ing the splitting of delegate votes at the Democratic na tional convention next July in Los Angeles. - He said next Wednesday when the Democratic National Committee meets in Washing ton, D. C, he would support a resolution to that effect. The proposal, he said, would give the "state a - 32 man delegation, next year.

Auystrian police identified the refugees as Sit van Loerencz and Joseph San dor and said they crossed into Austria near Nikitsch. Soviet visitors and everything within reason has been made accessible to them. Only Bird's Eye View ' , tl is only due to the normal security., precautions, the ex tensive trans-continental itin erary 1 and .the attempt to crowd too much within a brief time that the Khrushchev par ty will get no more than a bird's eye view of the United States. : 4 . Some Americans have justi fied the unprecedented invita tion to Khrushchev on ground that it would be useful for his personal education on Ameri can affairs. It has been said that the visit: might ' help to remove some of his possible misconceptions about Ameri can power, about the unity of .the people and the govern ment, and the ; firmness of American foreign policy. But it is by. no means evi dent "that Khrushchev suffers from such misconceptions, or, if he does, that this brief visit will eliminate them.' On the contrary, there is evidence that he is reasonably well briefed on America. "I do not have to go to America to see how strong and - rich -that country is," Khrushchev said recently and added, "that I know already." Nixon's Assertion Draws No Comment Washington (UPD - The De fense ; Department won't con firm nor deny Vice President Richard M. Nixon's assertion that the Russians failed at least three times before achiev ing their successful moon strike. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the civilian space agency, said it had no information on any Russian failures. It pointed out that such information would be classified as secret by the military and that it would not have access to such data. Nixon, as a member of the President's National Security Council,, is privyf to secret in telligence - data, gathered on Russia by U.S.l agents.. His statement ; presumably was based on such intelligence re ports.

Khrushchev, in the words of an old Soviet saying, was carrying a full suitcase when he left today for Washington. Diplomats here already were calling the trip 'a "vic tory v o y a g e" marking Khrushchev's success in get ting the longed-for talks with President Eisenhower and the Russian moon strike. The Russian people were so sure the trip would end the cold wa. that their excite ment. and almost passionate hopes reached near hysteria when he left at 12:01 a.m. E.D.T. Trip Means Peace Russian newspapers have warned that the trip was only a beginning but to Russians it meant peace. A Soviet commentator, de scribing the departure scene, echoed this when he said over Moscow Radio: "There's been some specu lation what the premier . is taking with him to. America. He's taking a message; what it is m words I do not-know but it boils down to this: His message to Eisenhower and the American people will be, no matter how it is worded, let us have peace and let us be friends." The actual Khrushchev de parture was broadcast by Moscow Radio in both Eng lish and Russian a fairly rare occurrence. . Onlookers were at the airport nearly two hours, before Khrushchev arrived. i The premier found the dip lomatic corps waiting when he arrived. He walked down the line of diplomats and shook hands with each one. A little girl handed him a big bouquet o ' flowers. When he came to a group of organized workers, he waved both hands over his head and the group members applauded loudly. He chatted with members of the Presidi um, then with a wave of the flowers, boarded the plane. . Khrushchev wore a light grey coat, a light grey felt hat, i brown tie and brown shoes. He had a cream colored shirt on. Just before he board ed the plane, a workej ran from the crowd and kissed, him on both cheeks; The pre miere appeared quite moved. Americans present at the departure included acting Ambassador Edward Freer and Rep. Victor Anf uso (D N.Y.). Each shooks hands and said a few words ' of fare well to the premier.
