Van Cliburn Draws Personal Tribute from Khrushchev Moscow (UPB Texas pianist Van Cliburn drew a rave re view in Pravda today cap ping a personal tribute from Premier Niklta Khrushchev. The Soviet leader showed up unexpectedly Thursday night at Cliburn's second sell out concert and toasted him at a dinner party after it was all over. Cliburn, 27, said after the two-hour party he had no ad vance notice that Khrushchev would show up. "We talked about many things, but really it was a family affair," he said. Pravda, the Communist party paper, said today that Cliburn had become a "big ger, maturer, more balanced" artist since his last appear ance in Moscow in 1960. "Van Cliburn plays as if ad dressing himself directly to the audience," Pravda said. "The resultant impression is that he speaks to you, telling with emotion something that is very important and mov ing. "Absorbed completely in music, he seeks to convey his absorption to the audience, to bring them the immortal beauty of the feelings, the thoughts and emotions re corded in the works of great masters of the past and pres ent. Cliburn's first concert Wednesday was, in general, received by all as an outstand ing event in our musical life. The same can be said of Thursday's concert." On his previous trips here, Cliburn occasionally has met Khrushchev and apparently Is on the best of terms with the Soviet premier. Thursday night's "family affair" included Khrushchev, First Deputy Premiers Anas tas Mikoyan and Alexel Kosy gin, Soviet Culture Minister Ekaterlna Furtseva and Cli burn's mother.

The PreslCent has strongly urged a settlement in the dis pute between the Pacific Maritime Association and three unions - seamen, fire men, and cooks and stewards. Special Board The PMA has been Involved in three previous strikes in the past year, and Kennedy's special board of inquiry said last week that "a fourth strike in a 12-to-13 month pe riod could only serve to expe dite tne continued decline of an already sick industry."

On April 11 the government requested and received an injunction calling for an 80-day cooling-off pe riod under the Taft-Hartley Law.
