Mrs. Khrushchev Shows Tact And Common Sense

WASHINGTON (UPD — Softspoken Mrs. Nikita Khrushchev already has given Americans sev- ] eral glimpses into her little known personality. ; Nina Petrovna, out in the big , world for the first time, has turned out to be neither as shy ( as Americans expected nor as ( venturesome as the State Department anticipated. ; In two days of being welcomed, , feted, and whisked around town, she has shown moments of humor, diplomatic tact, common sense and motherliness. Mrs. Khrushchev surprised reports Wednesday by submitting with ease to an inundation of questions ranging from her personal life to her impressions of Washington and Mamie Eisenhower. It was her first direct contact with the relentless American press. Yet, she made no effort to shrug off her questioners and seemed to enjoy the informalityof it all, for a while at least. When her husband was asked on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial to compare Moscow with Washington, Mrs. Khrushchev commented that a comparison really was out of order. “Moscow is Moscow and Washington is Washington.” she said, and they both have their beauty. Her sense of humor was sparked by a suggestion from one American that she, Nina Petrovna, was the effective boss of the Khrushchev family. She quipped, "Only the AmeriIcan reporters think so.” It sounded like a remark that Nikita himself might have made. A small incident showed Mrs. Khrushchev to be a thoifghtful, polite person. When she and Mrs. Henry Cabot Lodge, wife of the U.S ambassador to the United Nations entered the auditorium at Beltsville, Md . for a lecture on plant research, they found only one seat had been reserved. Mrs. Khrushchev refused to sit down until a seat had been obtained for Mrs. Lodge. t Root township home demonstration club members will meet at the home of Mrs. Norbert Aumann at 1 o’clock Tuesday. Members of the Adams county! home demonstration chorus will meet Monday evening at 7:30 o’clock in the Farm Bureau building in Monroe. At 12 o’clock Wednesday. file Historical club will have its opening meeting with a carry-in dinner to be served at the home of Mrs. Giles Porter.

He said there are 10 million policyholders in the Soviet Union.

Nina Petrovna is glad to have her stepdaughters with her in America for companionship and moral support. She is never separated from them for very long. Throughout Wednesday’s tour of the farm center, she looked about often to see where Yulia and Rada had strayed, called them back to her side, and made sure they were all right. Millionaire Oilman Again Disappears CHICAGO <UPD — Harold T. Martin, a millionaire oilman who was kidnaped six years ago, has disappeared again, police said today. The oil tycoon, owner of the Martin gas station chain, was last seen Wednesday afternoon on Chicago's Near North Side, officers said. Company officials said Martin visited a construction project at a Martin station on La Salle Street. Workers said he left his car parked at the station and walked away. They thought he either intended to visit a nearby restaurant or. walk the five short blocks to his offices. His wife notified company officials when he failed to return home for dinner as expected. Police disclosed that Martin and another oilman, C. D. Kinsley, Houston. Tex., were kidnaped at the Elmhurst Country Club Sept. 25. 1953, by three masked men.

Nixon, Khrushchev Continuing Battle WASHINGTON (UPD - Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev and Vice President Richard M. Nixon are continuing in this country the bristling battle of words they started in the famous Moscow “Kitchen” debate, - Khrushchev said Wednesday he would “swear on the Bible” that Nixon was wrong when the vice president stated in New York that Russia’s successful moon hit was preceded by three failures. The Soviet leader challenged Nixon to take a similar oath on a Bible if the vice president thought his account of the failures was correct. Nixon had no comment on Khrushchev's challenge. Reporters questioned him when he left the Russian premier’s dinner for President Eisenhower at the Soviet embassy Wednesday night. Asked if he stuck by his statement of the failures. Nixon grinned broadly, shook his head, and replied, “no comment.” Khrushchev, apparently still smarting from Nixon’s barbed remarks during their spirited debate >n the kitchen of the model home at the U. S. exhibit in Moscow, also said the vice president had “a very wrong conception” of the Russian people “and myself.” The Soviet premier told reporters at a reception before his speech at the National Press Club Wednesday that Nixon had his misconceptions about Russia and its people both before and after his recent trip to the Soviet Union. Coed's Leg Broken In Valpo Incident VALPARAISO,! Ind. (UPD — A coed’s leg was broken and eight other freshmen girls were hurt Tuesday night during a "pushing" accident on the steps of the Valparaiso University gymnasium. Dorothy Steeb, 17, Ann Arbor, Mich., was taken to Porter Memorial Hospital along with two other coeds who were held for observation and six other girls who were treated and released after X-rays. Dean Luther P. Koepke announced the next day that there would be no freshmen initiations or hazing of any type this fall and the school’s annual football homecomign day bonfire would be banned.

A group of girls in the front ranks of the departing freshmen stopoed and male students behind them began pushing. The injured girls were shoved off their feet and me of them were trampled.

Jewelry Store Is Robbed Os $50,000 INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—A downtown Indianapolis wholesale jewelry store was robbed of an estimated $50,000 in gems Wednesday' by two methodical gunmen, one of whom posed as an insurance agent to gain admission to the store. One of the bandits called diamond importer Stanley Levinson, 52, owner of the store, by telephone and identified himself as an insurance agent who wanted to see Levinson about a watch. Shortly after the gunman and self-styled agent got inside, he was joined by an accomplice who was admitted by Levinson’s son-in-law, Jerome Patsiner, 27, Indianapolis. Levinson said he and Patsiner were forced to lie on the floor with their ankles bound and their eyes taped shut while the robbers casually ransacked the office and took their pick of cut and uncut diamonds, watches, bracelets, silverware and cash. The robbery occurred during daylight hours in the busy downtown district. The bandits escaped unnoticed and police weren’t notified of the holdup until Levinson freed himself and called them about 10 minutes later. Levinson, who was the victim of a $75,000 robber!' in 1951, de-j clined to estimate the loss except to say the gunmen took “many thousands of dollars” worth of loot. Authorities said the value of the stolen goods was around $50,000.
