Khrushchev has been in a Moscow hospital for the past two weeks undergoing a routine medical checkup, friends of the family said today. The 72 year old former premier is expected to be released shortly to return to his country villa where he spent most of the summer, these sources said.

Khrushchev, who was ousted from power almost a year ago, enjoys fair health, informed sources said, and the medical checkup is a normal precaution at his age, especially for a man who has lived his arduous life. All summer long Khrushchev and his wife, Nina Petrovna, resided at the comfortable government villa assigned to him in a heavily wooded area on the road to Smolensk, about 50 miles west of Moscow. A Different Home This is not the same country house at Usuvo, about 20 miles west of the capital, which he used when he was premier and for several months after his ouster last October 15.
