NIKITA (Continued on page two) “You will find, am ure, that they, like your people want to live in peace with justice. Although they have built and maintain strong security forces, it is clear that because our people do want peace and becaue they are the decisive influence in basic actions of our government, aggression by this nation is an impossibility.” Eisenhower said bluntly that during Khrushchev’s visit the United States would not negotiate any issues affecting other countries. He said, however, he expected that a “full and frank exchange of views on many subjects may contribute to better understanding.” “Just as hope that maylater visit and learn more about your people,’’ he said, “ know that you seek better understanding of our system, of our people, and of the principles which guide and motivate them.’ 11118 was the first time Khrushchev had ever set foot oh American soil. The strictest security measures in peacetime history were invoked to protect Khrushchev. President Eisenhower walked 400 feet out onto the airport apron to greet his guest. He was alone except for chief of protocol Wiley T. Buchanan Jr. The honor guard, with fixed bayonets and in summer dress uniform, snapped to attention as the plane door opened and Khrushchev—first Russian leader, Czarist or Communist, ever to visit America—descended with his wife, Nina, about 60. Eisenhower shook hands with the Soviet premier and cordially welcomed the rather shy and plumpish Mrs. Khrushchev. Then the American and Soviet leaders walked together through a cordon of troops to a receiving line. Eisenhower presented Khrushchev to Secretary of State Christian Herter and his wife. Mrs. Herter handed a bouquet to Mrs. Khrushchev. Review Honor Guard The Khrushchevs were escorted by Buchanan along the line of dignitaries. They were first welcomed by U.N. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge who will be their guide on trips to New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, the Des Moines, lowa, area and Pittsburgh. Khrushchev walked along a 150foot red carpet. He had something Red with him, too. It was a replica of the pennant the Russians say they planted on the moon with their rocket. Khrushchev brought it along as a souvenir for Eisenhower. The United States had attempted two rocket shoots from Cape Canaveral, Fla., early today but both failed. An Army Jupiter malfunctioned and did not leave the launching pad. Three hours earlier an attempt to put an earth satellite in orbit with a Vanguard rocket was called off. Eisenhower left the premier briefly to greet Khrushchev’s two daughters, Yulia, 42, and Rada, 29; his son, Sergei, 24, and his son-in-law Alexei Adzhubei. Then the President and premier mounted the reviewing stand and faced the honor guard, commanded by a colonel whose unit usually patrols file Tomb of the Unknowns. The honor guard consisted of four 30-man platoons from the Army, Marines, Navy and Air Force. House, Senate Adjourn Only a single 6-by-10-foot hammer and sickle flew at the airport. It and a smaller flag flying w’H be the only Russian flags officially displayed in Washington except for small banners flying from Soviet automobiles.

A 49-star American flag rippled .in the sunshine at the airport. For Khrushchev’s first glimpse of Washington, the day was perfect. The sky was almost cloudless and the temperature was in the low 70s. But at the high altitudes en route the Russian plane, with an American navigational and radio crew aboard to bring :it in, had ben forced to buck the istrong headwinds that often delay bast-so-west flights. While Khrushchev was coming to tlon, Congress was leaving. Congress worked through the entire night and early morning, partly to avoid being in session when Khrushchev arrived. The House finally adjourned at 5:21 a.m. c.d.t., and the Senste three minutes later. The first Eisenhower - Khrushchev “business” session wa scheduled for 2:30 p.m. c.d.t. at the White Houe. The two leaders were expected then to initiate basic “exploratory” talks on vital international issues, including the problem of Berlin and Germany which Khrushchev has said is paramount. Tonight President and Mrs. Eisenhower were playing host at a formal White House dinner to the Khrushchev family with some 80 additional guests from the highest governmental and diplomatic circles. Khrushchev was to don white tie and tails for the first time in his life.

Delay Is Granted To Connie Nicholas INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Connie Nicholas has until Nov. 21 to complete her appeal from her manslaughter conviction in the death of her wealthy, married lover. The Indiana Supreme Court awarded the delay Monday after Mrs. Nicholas’ attorneys .claimed the court reporter would be unable to finish typing the transcript of the petite divorcee’s trial before Nov. 21. Mrs. Nicholas, 45, was sentenced to 2-21 years in prison last April after a jury convicted her in the fatal shooting of debonair drug executive Forrest Teel, 54. Teel was killed early July 31, 1958, and the prosecution claimed Mrs. Nicholas shot him in a jealous £age when he jilted her for a newer, younger woman friend. The extension of the appeal deadline came after the original Aug. 24 deadline had passed But Criminal Court Judge Thomas J. Faulconer, who heard Mrs. Nicholas* trial, refused to take action because the Supreme Court was on vacation at the time.

DISMISSED

Says Pastor’s Job Is To Preach Gospel INDIANAPOLIS (UPD— A Methodist bishop declared Monday that a clergyman’s job is to preach the Gospel and not anti-Commu-nism as proposed by Clarence E. Manion, former. Notre Dame law school dean. Manion had criticized the clergy for not launching a pulpit campaign against Communism. “I cannot agree with his implication the Church is soft on Communism,” Bishop Richard C. Raines of the Indiana Methodist Church said. “It is the clergy’s business to preach the Gospel. The life and teachings of Jesus—not anti-Communism—must be their major theme. "They should speak out against Communism occasionally, but only in terms of Christianity’s relationship to this problem,” Raines said. "The cause of Christ must be uppermost in their message.” Martion in a Sunday night radio speech announced a series of talks against Communism by clergymen and said he hoped the first of the series, by His Eminence Cardinal Cushing, Roman Catholic archbishop of Boston, "will rally the eloquence of all the clergymen so America to the defense of the Gospel. . . against the militant amorality of Ka»l Marx.” Raines replied in a recorded statement for Fred Heckman, news director of Radio Station WIBC here. Manion also said that many Americans who never favored appeasement in previous wars now are willing to surrender to the Russians if there is no other alternative but atomic war. "If the alternatives narrow down to nuclear war or surrender, 1 1 would have to choose war," Raines commented. "Some are bound to survive even in nuclear war.” ■.( It would be better for some to survive in freedom than for all to survive in chains, Raines said. Adenauer Observes 10th Anniversary BONN (UPD —Konrad Adenauer celebrated his 10th anniversary as West German chancellor today by watching the inauguration of Heinrich Luebke - his personal choice — as the nation’s I second president. Luebke was sworn in at a joint • session of Parliament attended by i foreign diplomats and distinguished visitors to the Wet German capital. He actually had been president since Saturday midnight, but the formal inauguration was postponed to coincide with Adenauer’s anniversary in office. Speakers at the ceremony included 'Luebke, outgoing President Theodor Heuss and the heads of the two houses of Parliament. Adenauer dropped plans to speak when the Socialist opposition demanded equal time. For West Germany’s “grand old man,” the inauguration was the latest development of a career as chief of government which he began at an age when most men are retired. Adenauer was 73 on that day in 1949 when he himself cast the vote that made him the head man of West first government. Harry Trirtnan was presiident, the late Josef Stalin was 'still undisputed master of Russia, and Clement (now Earl) Attlee headed Britain’ labor government. It took 202 votes to- assure Adenauer’s election as chancellor, and he received just that number. He never has made any secret of the fact that he voted for himself.

Visit Is Adventure To Mrs. Khrushchev

WASHINGTON (UPD—Mrs. Nikita Khrushchev is on the threshold of the greatest adventure of her life. To some, such adventure comes at 20 or in middle age. But to Mrs. Khrushchev, it has come in the twilight years. At 60, nothing that she has done so far and little that she might possibly do in the. future can eclipse the importance of her first visit to the United States. It isn’t that Russia’s first lady a led a dull existance or that coming to Amercia is the most significant thing that any foreigner can do. It is simply that Nikita Khrushchev has put this visit on such a high pedestal tha some of the responsiblity for its success or failure is bound to be shared by his wife. If the Soviet premier had warted to make this primarily a business trip, he would have come to America alone. Instead, he is making a tremendous gesture in international public relations — bringing almost his entire family and a son-in-law to boot. He is in effect saying, "See what a family man I am, and see how wonderful this typical Soviet family is." Nina Khrushchev will be the first Russian woman that most Americans have ever observed closely. Workman Is Killed By Moving Machine INDIANAPOLIS (UPD— George Dewey Knowles, 28, a Durham, N.C., native living at a trailer camp here, was killed Monday when the earth-moving machine he was operating skidded against a heavy steel scraper. Witnesses said Knowles apparently skidded the machine deliberately to avoid another earth mover at the Ind.. 100 construction area Seven Decatur Youths Spend Night In Jail Seven Decatur youths spent the night recently in the Elkhart county jail, charged with the illegal possession of intoxicants, after Nappanee police stopped their car in that city because only one headlight was burning. •» All seven youths were assessed fines in the Nappanee justice of the peace court September 5.

But no Soviet woman has ever projected herself on to the American national sqane like Mrs. Khrushchev will do for 13 days. For millions of U.S. TV viewers, Nina Petrovna and her two step-' daughters, Yulia and Rada, will represent Soviet - womanhood — what they look like, how they think and how they conduct themselves. Welfare Budget Is Disallowed By Board KNOX, Ind. (UPD—The entire Starke County Welfare Board budget was disallowed by the county Tax Adjustment Board Monday because of a question as to the legality of a judge’s firing and hiring of Welfare Board members. Robert R. Green, tax board chairman, said his group voted. 4-3, to turn down the budget because two members of the Welfare Board were involved in suits filed by two former members who contended the present members were illegally appointed . Green said the four members, including himself, who voted down the budget felt the Welfare Board was not legal as long as these was a question as to the legality of two of its members. Judge Jack Murray last spring removed two members and appointed two others in his long-time feud with the Welfare Board. Murray removed Alice Rozan on grounds it was illegal for her to be both a member of the board and a notary public. He removed Roamy Gearheart on grounds he was guilty of misconduct in office. Murray appointed Paul Reed, Knox Attorney, and John Dubois to succeed the ousted members, who promptly filed suit contending they were removed from office illegally. The State Welfare Department continued to reeognize the ousted members, Green said.
