MR. K’s BIG DAY – RED CARPET WELCOME FOR NO. 1 RED:
An exuberant Nikita Khrushchev arrives at the nation’s capital to be received by President Eisenhower with full ceremonial honors as a chief of state, beginning a 13-day visit to this country that could momentously affect the course of the Cold War.
After his non-stop flight from Moscow in a huge Soviet jet, Khrushchev exchanges pledges of peaceful aspirations with the President. Then Ike rides with Mr. and Mrs. Khrushchev in an open-top limousine through Washington to Blair House.
The streets are lined with hundreds of thousands – curious and stiffly cordial, but undemonstrative. The heaviest security cordon ever mustered in peace-time lines the route, but there are no incidents to mar the occasion.
From Blair House, the Soviet Premier goes to the White House for the first of several off-the-record and informal talks ranging over global problems. America and the world watch and wait as Khrushchev’s show continues – colorful, dramatic, and of monumental importance.
