Nikita Says U.S. Should Negotiate
With Cuba on “Live and Let Live” Basis
MOSCOW UPi — Soviet Premier
Nikita S. Khrushchev said Satur
day the United States should open
negotiations with Cuba to settle
its differences on a basis of “live
and let live.”
His speech, reported by Moscow
radio, was delivered in Yerevan
at a meeting of the Armenian
Parliament held to celebrate the
40th anniversary of the establish
ment of Soviet rule in the re
public,
Khrushchev said the interna
tional situation had been aggra
vated recently.
“The peoples of the whole
world are greatly alarmed by the
intrigues of the imperialist ag
gressors against the freedom
loving people of Cuba.”
He drew stormy applause as he
condemned what he described as
intervention in Cuba “which had
not threatened anyone.”
He noted that the attack had
been repulsed and commented
“U. S. statesmen should draw the
proper conclusions.”
Khrushchev said that Cuba had
proposed to normalize its rela
tions with the United States by
negotiating on a basis of “live and
let live.” He added if America
would follow this principle it
would be to the mutual advan
tage of everyone and without
harm to the prestige of anyone.
Turning to the situation in Laos,
he said measures were now being
taken “to put out the fire” there
which he insisted were started
by American efforts to divert the
Southeast Asia country from a
position of neutrality which had
been established by 1954 Geneva
agreement.
“Laos,” Khrushchev said,
“wants to use its energies for
peaceful purposes. The Western
powers should abstain from using
Laos as an area for military in
trigues.”
Turning to the Soviet proposal
for abolishing U. N. Secretary
General Dag Hammarskj old’s job
Khrushchev said “the United Na
tions organization suffers from
ailments which need treatment.”
He said a reorganization of the
United Nations would enable that
body to “answer its purpose and
to examine and solve whatever
problems may arise without bias

and with due regard for the in
terests of all nations, to make it
an effective instrument of safe
guarding the peace of the world
instead of being one to do the
bidding of one group of states
at the expense of the others.”
In his lengthy speech Khrush
chev asked for early and success
ful negotiations on disarmament,
saying the international situation
had grown more tense.
He said that the Soviet govern
ment was preparing seriously for
talks with the United States about
disarmament.
He repeated his formula that
if the United States will accept
complete and total disarmament,
the Soviet Union would accept
whatever controls the United
States wishes.
.The United States has repeat
edly replied that its proposals for
controls must accompany pro
gressive disarmament.

JERUSALEM (ff) — A matron
ly Jewish woman told the Eich
man trial court today of being
shot by men of the Nazi SS elite
guard, falling into a mass grave,
fighting her way up through
bodies for air and surviving.
Mrs. Rifka Yosilevska, a na

testify last week because of a
mild heart attack, was restrained
on the witness stand. But her
voice broke when she told of see
ing her little daughter shot.
In the Pinsk area in 1942, she
said, Jews were rounded up by
the hundreds and taken to a
burial pit.
Her account of what happened
then held the 700 spectators spell
bound at the 30th session of the
trial of Adolf Eichmann, who is
charged with being a chief ac
complice in the Nazi extermina
tion of six million Jews.

to a government plan for extend
ing the Alaska Railroad to the
Canadian Border.
The Alaska International Rail

ment of the new State’s trans
portation system.
The commission, which goes out

concerned about the loss which
would be suffered by coastal com

Nixon Breaks Silence —
Says JFK Pulled Boner
On Cuban Situation
By Arthur Edson
I CHICAGO (JFII — Richard M.
; Nixon didn’t wait long to yank
! off his gloves and get down to
! political bare knuckles.
Friday the former Vice Presi
| dent broke the silence he has kept
! since the election, and repeatedly
he hammered on this theme:
President Kennedy pulled a
i boner in the way he handled the
Cuban situation. “Putting it
bluntly,” Nixon said, “we should
not start things unless we are
prepared to finish them.”
Now comes the domestic issues,
although he doubtless will con
I tinue to bring up Cuba in each of
his talks.
; It was like old times on the
I campaign trail Friday night.
The Republican Citizens Lea
gue of Illinois has just been or
ganized to build up the GOP
here. The new McCormick Palace
Theater was filled with 5,000
cheering spectators, with 500 to
600 unable to get in.
Everything looked as if 1960
was already forgotten — and all
eyes were on 1964.

Shoos Out Key Men
In Hiking Party
WASHINGTON UP — A woman
innkeeper said today a drenched
troop of hikers — including a
Supreme Court justice, a senator
and a cabinet member—turned
her place into a picnic area with
out so much as a “by your leave.”
“I came in and found them like
sardines in my cocktail lounge,
sitting on the bar eating their
own food,” said the innkeeper,
Mrs. John T. Reges.
Mrs. Reges, the wife of the
proprietor of the Old Anglers Inn
reacted swiftly: “In a loud voice—
in German—I told my maitre d’,
I give you 10 minutes to get these
people out of here.”
“After they were gone,” said
Mrs. Reges, “I found out who they
were. If they had asked me first,
I would have made arrangements,
given them a room to dry out in,
made them tea. But they didn’t
ask, they just came in.”
The hikers, about 170 strong,
were nearing the end of a sodden
16-mile course along the old
C O Canal route from Seneca,
Md., to Washington Saturday
when they stopped at the inn
near the Great Falls of the Po
tomac. Among them were Justice
William O. Douglas, Sen. Paul
