HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON (JP) Vice President Nixon will visit Moscow in late July. His expected talks with high Soviet officials may help to set the stage for a summit conference. His designation by President Eisenhower to make the trip also could promote Nixon's chances for the Republican presidential nomination next vear.

The six--week exhibition is designed to show Soviet citizens how Americans live. The Soviets will stage a similar exhibition in New York City. If Nixon demonstrates a capacity to deal effectively with Soviet leaders it could give him a boost in his unannounced quest for the presidency in I960 At a minimum it will focus attention on him in the months leading up to selection Cool as Cucumber Is Not So Cool After All By RUSSELL LANDSTROM PHILADELPHIA (JP)-- Is a cucumber really cool? Does anyone actually get warm as toast? Are a redhead's lips as hot as and fable tell us? To find the answers to such questions a test-engineering team, i a newsman's help, applied scientific know-how to many a familiar saying and analogv. It was done with devices lor taking temperatures in all sorts of places.

Herter apparently has cleared the last hurdle standing in the way of his appointment as new secretary of state. A specially selected doctor is understood to have found that Herter's sometimes painful aithritis of the hips will not interfere with his being an active foreign policy chief.

Herter has long been considered the No. 1 piospect to succeed Jthe ailing John Foster Dulles. But President Eisenhower is reported to a requested a evidential medical checkup of Herter by a "neu- tral'' phjsician before making any oppomtment. Dr Theodore B.

His statement dashed an earlier report from Father Gerald Lyman, prison chaplain, that an agreement had been reached to settle the riot that broke out Thursday at 4'30 p. m. (MST).

No Announcement Father Lyman told newsmen after a session with the convicts and prison officials that "everything is going to be all right." He said a formal announcement would be made shortly. But three hours later no agreement had been announced. Jones pleaded with officials to "please leave this in the warden's hands. If you take it out of the warden's hands and storm the gates, we've all had it." About 160 combat-readied Montana national guardsmen ring the 90-year-old castle-like prison. They are armed with automatic rifles and bayonets.

A convict spokesman, a burglar named Jerry Myles, talked for more than 15 minutes over the prison public ad-dress to the 435 convicts inside. His speech was heard outside the walls.

"I don't think the warden or the others will let you in," Myles said, "because they don't want newsmen to know what conditions are.
