Khrushchev Wonders At
Navy Man for Head of
U.S. Joint Chiefs

chev, free-talking Soviet party
boss, put his finger on a sore spot
of rivalry between the U.S. Navy
and Air Force in a chat here with

Fo"ce chief.
“I cannot understand why the
United States has a Navy man as
head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,”
said Khrushchev to Twining dur
ing a stroll through the Soviet
Army Club yesterday. “Navies are
like tortoise^. They always have
been, and they always will be. It
is the same with us as it is with
you."
Twining’s comment was not
caught by reporters.
Adm. Arthur W. Radford is
chairman, of the 'U.S. Joint Chiefs

visit the air show and other ac
tivities here. My group will look
and listen and I am sure will ben- j
efit a great deal. After that we
will report to the President and
the Pentagon and through them
to the general public.”
An American reporter asked
Twining, looking dapper in his
summer uniform, “What do you
see as the principal significance
of this trip? Is there anything po
litical in it?”
Twining replied, “I am not in
the political business. My princi
pal interest is to meet and talk
with Soviet air force leaders and
see their equipment and their lat
est developments. The purpose of
the trip is to show our Air Force
people what the Soviet people are
doing in the way of new equip
ment and its significance. It is
truly a professional trip.”
Accompanying him were four
lieutenant generals, a major gen
eral, a brigadier general, and
three colonels.

Bob Hope Is Great In
“The Seven Little Foys’’
One of the most delightful and
moving screen biographies ever
made is showing Wednesday and
Thursday at the Theater. With
Bob Hope starring as vaudevillian
Eddie Foy, “The Seven Little
Foys” is an entertainment-packed
film that has everything — and
everything it has is “terrific.”
If you think you know Bob
Hope—and who in the wide world
doesfi’t — you have a wonderful
surprise in store for you. For the
first time in *his flashing career
the great comedian has under
taken a biographical role, and
the result is a scintillating per
formance that spans every area
af entertainment from drama to
comedy to touching romance.
Whether performing a song and
dance routine a la Eddie.Foy, en
gaging in a poignant love scene
with his lissome co-star, Milly
Vitale, or drawing tears from his
audience with his depth of emo
tional understanding, the new
Hope is a greater Hope than ever
before.
