WITH KHRUSHCHEV IIN AMERICA
By WILLIAM L. RYAN
NEW YORK, UPl — Nikita S.
Khrushchev hit the big town yes
terday in brisk, sunny weather,
expressing hope a bright sun al
ways would shine on Soviet-Am
erican relations.
The Soviet Premier’s deluxe
special train from Washington
pulled into Pennsylvania Station,
which swarmed with police and
security agents. So did every stra
tegic spot on the fast-paced itin
erary laid out for the boss of
world Communism.
A crowd of more than 2,000
was on hand outside the terminal
on Seventh Avenue, waiting for
a glimpse of the bouncy visitor
from Moscow.
The Soviet boss was greeted by
Richard C. Patterson, Commis
sioner of the Department of Com
merce and Public Events, who is
the city’s offical greeter. The wel
come took place in the terminal’s
baggage room.
As the motorcade with the
Khrushchev party and city offi
cials sped off uptown for the Wal
dorf-Astoria Hotel, big ■ crowds,
silent and unexcited, gathered be
hind barricades for a glimpse.
As it had been in Washington,
the crowd reaction in New York
was largely one of silent curious
ity. There was little in the way
either of applause or demonstra
tions, at least at the start.
Mdst were disappointed. There
was little to sec. The motorcade
did not stop at the Waldorf, but
turned around at that point and |
headed back downtown toward
the Commodore Hotel, scene of |
Mayor Robert Wagner’s luncheon
for the visitor.
The Waldorf will be Khrush
chev’s headquarters for his stay
in the city.

WASHINGTON, Iff! —President
Eisenhower said Thursday his
talks with Soviet Premier Nikita
Khrushchev have been extremely
friendly, but it is too early to
tell whether the Kremlin leader
has changed his mind on any
world issues.
The President told a news con
ference that Khrushchev’s man
ner and deportment indicate he
really is trying to reach agree
ment regarding international
problems.
The President said it was a bit
early to go into details or reach
conclusions, but Khrushchev’s at
titude generally had been ex
tremely friendly. Eisenhower and
Khrushchev meet again Sept. 24
to 27 for more talks at the Presi
dent’s- Camp David retreat in
Maryland.
In the meantime, Khrushchev
will have made a cross country
trip and seen something more of
the United States and its people.
As for the public reception
Khrushchev received in Wash
ington, Eisenhower remarked that
in his estimation very large
crowds turned out in the capitol.
He said that was natural because
the people were interested in see
ing Khrushchev.
Police estimated the turnout in
the Washington area to see the
Premier was around 200,000. This
compared with an estimate of
more than a million for Britain’s
Queen Elizabeth in 1957.
Titan ICBM Base to be
Built at Marysville, Calif.
WASHINGTON, — The Air
Force today selected Beale Air
Force Base at Marysville, Calif.,
as the fifth launching site for
Titan intercontinental ballastic
missiles.
Construction at the base will
start soon, the Air Force said,
and will cost about $42,000,000.
When completed, about 700 mili
tary personnel of the Strategic
Air Command will operate the
Titan launching complex.
The Air Force previously an
nounced four Titan sites. Titan is
well advanced in its development
stage but will not become oper
ational until next year at the
earliest. It is expected to have a
greater load-carrying potential
than the Atlas, the Air Force’s
other missile of intercontinental
range.
WASHINGTON, (^Pt—The ice of
the cold war has not only shown
signs of a crack but has started
to crumble, Premier Khrushchev
said in exchanging toasts with
President Eisenhower.
“Although this wine is cold,”
Khrushchev said as he raised a
glass of champagne at an embassy
dinner Wednesday night, “may
our relations become warmer,
may the atmosphere become
warmed so as to melt the ice of
the cold war and ensure favorable
conditions of peaceful coexist
ence between states—between our
peoples.”
He said he hoped the exchange
visits with the President “will
further a warm spell in inter
national relations. The ice of the
cold war has not only already
showns signs of a crack but has
started to crumble.” He did not
say which of the cold war issues
he thought were crumbling.
Eisenhower said in his toast to
Khrushchev that he hoped their
talks mean at least the beginning
of the melting of the cold war’s
ice. He said that perhaps growing
understanding between the mass
es of the American and Soviet
people might help settle interna
tional problems.
The visit Khrushchev will make
to Red China almost immediately
after he ends his American tour
figured in both toasts. Khrush
chev said “I am flying to China,
which will celebrate the 10th an
niversary of the People’s Repub
lic.”
“I am not going for a secret
collusion, but to celebrate a great
national day of people’s China.”
Eisenhower reportedly assured
Khrushchev jokingly that he does
not plan to visit Red China after
his planned trip to the Soviet
Union — that he would much
rather visit the Russians.
Khrushchev told Eisenhower,
“I do not know whether I have
your permission, but we consider
you to be our good friend.”
Khrushchev wore a dark busi
ness suit with a light four-in
hand tie. Eisenhower wore a
black tie with his dinner jacket.

NAME NEW BABY NIKITA
BELZONI, Miss., Iff1 — Mr. and
Mrs. Eugene Fleming had trouble
thinking of a name for their 8th
child, born an hour before Soviet
Premier Nikita Khrushchev ar
rived Tuesday in Washington.
“Everybody’s talking about
Khrushchev,” a neighbor said. .
Wednesday night the Flemings
decided on a name: Nikita. But
they will call the boy Nikie for
short.

ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVERSON
Astronomy binds earth and
heavens in so close a bond that
it even maps the one by means
of the other. It guides fleets and
caravans over wastes of sea and
sand otherwise trackless and im
passable.
By faithful study, even for a
snort time, it is possible to dis
cover many useful purposes for
astronomy. One of these uses is
in chronology—where it is useful
in fixing dates of many disputed
ancient battles, the reigns of kings
and other important historic ev
ents. It is also used to establish
the exact length of the units of
time required for our calendar.
The Purest basis of the chron
ology of ancient Assyria rests
upon an eclipse of the sun ob
served in Ninevah in the middle
of the reign of Jerboam II, which
modern astronomical calculations
prove to have taken place on the
15th of June, 763 B.C.
