Communist leaders. (UPI) Khrushchev, Tito Meet to Cement Renewed Alliance Countries' Bond To Be Fashioned On Leninist Ideas Belgrade, Yugoslavia - IUPII - Soviet Premier Nikita Khru shchev arrived today for a "family vacation" visit, but said his chief aim is to ce ment the renewed Russian Yugoslav alliance. Khrushchev told a small but warm airport welcoming audience that he wants "to continue the talks which were begun in Moscow" last December when Yugoslav President Tito visited the So viet Union. Khrushchev and his family Hew into Belgrade from Mos cow in brilliant sunshine, and swapped the traditional bear hugs and kisses with their host, Tito. Khrushchev wore a wide smile when he cm braced Tito, but turned seri ous as they inspected an hon or guard. Short Speech Then, with Tito standing beside him, Khrushchev made a short arrival speech. He said Russia and Yugoslavia fashion their relationship on "Leninist principles of for eign policy," an obvious slap at the Communist Chinese who have attacked both Khru shchev and Tito as "traitors" to Communist ideology. The Communist Chinese ambassador boycotted the 21 gun salute welcome, sending only a junior embassy official. The Albanians, Peking's only European ally and Yugosla via's bitter neighbor sent no one. Tito, in his welcoming re marks, told the cluster of newsmen, official greeters and diplomats that Yugoslav Soviet relations "have been developing successfully."

The case was continued un til Aug. 22 for a preliminary hearing with bail set at $1, 000. McCoy is in the Jackson county jail. The post office department, which entered the investiga tion of the case Sunday, is continuing its search of the area for money order blanks and other material taken from the post office substa tion's safe which might have been thrown away. The blanks did not carry the stamps which would make them of use. There were a number missing, however, and authorities believe they were discarded. McCoy was arrested follow ing a report telephoned to po lice by a woman living in the area of the Grandview mar ket, who saw a man enter the market, break a window and escape in a par.

The cabinet official told the committee that the bal ance of payments deficit dur ing the first six months of this year climbed to an annual rate of "well over $4 billion" but preliminary figures for July had indicated some im provement. The Treasury de partment had earlier put the annual rate, as based on the first six months, at $3.2 bil lion. The record deficit o $3.9 billion was set in I960. Dillon said the proposed temporary tax would not hurt domestic e c o nomic growth, but would - along with other monetary measures - help re verse a mounting payments deficit. The Treasury official was the first witness at the hear ings, which are expected to last two days, on President Kennedy's proposal for a tax ranging from 2.75 to 15 per cent on stocks, bonds and other securities sold by for eigners to U.S. investors.

The Hungarian-born physi cist told senators of three committees considering the treaty that the history of nu clear development in which he was a prime figure was full of surprises and that there was every reason to expect there would be more of them. Great Strides He recited seven such "surprises," dating from the first successful atomic test in New Mexico up to Russia's announcement that she had made "great strides toward missile defense." Teller testi fied that he had changed his own mind about the possi bility of defense against mis sile attack. "A few years ago I believed that missile defense was hope less," he said. "I'm now con vinced I was wrong." "Stimulated by the Russian experiments, I am now firm ly convinced that we can put up a missile defense that would stop any missile attack from a weaker country, such as China, for the next two decades," Teller asserted. He added that a U.S. missile de fense could be "partially ef fective against the Russians." He said that "we may not be able to save our cities but we may be able to save our re. taliatory capability." Teller said such missile de fense could safeguard reason ably strongly built shelters which he said are needed.
