A Salute to Armed Forces Day . . .
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE will take time tomor
row to express their thanks to the men and women
of the Armed Forces for a job well done in preserving
peace at a great deal of personal sacrifice.
It is right that we expect national service from
the Armed Forces, but it is also right that we take
time out to show and acknowledge our gratitude and
respect.
When we live in a community where there is not
a celebration this can be done by displaying the Amer
ican Flag from every business house and every home
as a tribute and in recognition of these men and wom
en who stand between us and are prepared to protect
us by their skills which are so necessary to the na
tional defense.

Kennedy and Khrushchev '
Expected to Meet in
Vienna June 3 and 4
WASHINGTON W —- An of
ficial announcement of a Ken
nedy-Khrushchev meeting in
Vienna June 3 and 4 is expected
before the end of the week.
Administration officials said
President Kennedy wants to dis
cuss informally with Soviet Pre
mier Khrushchev a wide range
of cold war problems with heavy
emphasis on his belief in the ur- j
gent need for agreement on a
treaty to ban nuclear weapons |
tests.
Returning yesterday from a
visit to Canada, Kennedy now has J
about 10 days in which to pre- j
pare for the meeting and for :
a conference with French Presi- !
dent Charles D« Gaulle at Paris
May 31-June 2.
The White House and State De- |
partment were formally silent on j
completion of arrangements for |
the Kennedy-Khrushchev meet
ing. But a number of develop- |
ments Wednesday gave support to j
reports Kennedy and Khrushchev I
have substantially agreed to get |
together.
At Ottawa, White House News
Secretary Pierre Salinger dis
closed that Kennedy had dis
cussed the prospective Khrush
chev meeting with Prime Minister
Diefenbaker. That was the first
public word from the White
House beyond Salinger’s earlier
statements this week that there
were no plans for such a confer
ence “at present.”
