L. Lawrence ushered Nikita Khrushchev from Pittsburgh yesterday on wings of plain, hard facts about American policy.

Khrushchev is an actor which is one reason he's so dangerous. He can use shock treatment like Boris Karloff. Out-debating K.

It is only fair to say Mr. Lodge was handcuffed by hospitality and couldn't hit back. seems clear that, on both sides, at least some of the jungle of misconceptions has been swept way.

"Look I have no horns!" Khrushchev told a New York audience. Millions of Americans must have been surprised to find this t-iar of all Communists among: them, surprisiiiRly un-devilish, kissing little farm-girls consuming hot dugs and cokes and saying "okay." Khrushchev, too, got an eyeful. Iowa was golrlen with record corn harvest. IBM machines played games for him in California. Traffic jams of worker-owned cars gave him long, slow looks at each visited city, across a nation almost choking in abundance.

Therefore, management and labor, as in the steel industry this very day, are free to test their strength one against the other when they disagree so strenuously that no other solution can be found." Shifting to politics, the Gov ernor reminded Khrushchev that "we are not a one-party Has Americas message nation. really registered with Khrush- Governor Lawrence pointed of capitalism live, and Perhaps not.

Commenting that "in America, politics stops at the water's edge," Governor Lawrence ended his speech with a friendly warning: "In his negotiations with the statesmen of the world, President Eisenhower speaks Berlin, or any other hard-to-merchandise Moscow line. He prefers ideas like one expressed on a sign outside Coon Rapids, Iowa: "We don't always agree with you, but we welcome you, Mr. K.

And Khrushchev himself is still men of a Russian woman who South Hills Hits Animal Hospital ca will confidently follow where he leads." When his turn came to speak, Khrushchev, obviously impressed hy the Lawrence delivery, said: "I envy you as one speaker envies another."

He told leading U.

S. businessmen at a dinner last, night that he believed "the United' States does want agreement with us and wants to live in peace." But he said the question of whether the U. S. Government is as peace-loving as its citizens would be answered by the official American position on disarmament and trade. "If the U.

S. Government renounces disarmament, one would doubt its sincerity," he said. Khrushchev did not say whether he meant disarmament on his own terms or with some inspection and control provisions demanded by the United States. It was obvious that the arms issue would be a chief topic between Mr. Eisenhower and Khrushchev, both of whom have described it as the key problem in the cold war.

Other subjecs are expected to be the German problem, East-West trade, peaceful co-existence, more person-to-person contacts and Red China.
