Khrushchev For Smif WASHINGTON LPH - If, as rumor has it, Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev is anxious for an early "get acquainted" meeting w ith President Johnson, he undoubtedly plans to avoid the errors he made in assessing the late John F. Kennedy after their initial confrontation. Khrushchev, at Vienna in June lfliil, mistook politeness for timidity, good breeding for weakness. He told his aides he could not understand why Ken ney, head of the most power ful nation in the world, rose to his feet when Khrushchev en tered the room. The Soviet leader obviously got the impression the young President could be pushed around. The chilling nature of his demands on Berlin and other issues, and the insulting manner in which he presented them was obscured by Ameri can oflicials for the time. How ever, the conclusion Khrushchev had drawn soon became evi dent. Ho whipped up the Berlin is sue to new crisis proportion and tightened the diplomatic squeeze around the world. But his mis reading of Kennedy's character became quickly apparent. The young President took rapid steps to increase U.S. mil itary might in Europe. He made it clear he was ready to fight (or Berlin if necessary. And, possibly most important, he let Assault Trial Opens Monday Marie Elaine Barklcy. 2,1. is scheduled lo go on trial Mon day morning in the Circuit Court of Judge Donald A. W.
