To Visit Russia For

MOSCOW (AP — Soviet Pre
mier Nikita S. Khrushchev Thurs
day urged President Eisenhower
to .visit the Soviet Union and chal
lenged the United States to par
ticipate in making West Berlin a
free city under United Nations
responsibility;
Windirig up the 10-day Com
munist party congress, he compar
ed,'the Berlin crisis with a burn
ing fuse in a powder cellar.
“Why should we preserve such
a situation?” he asked. “Would
it not be better to put out the
fuse? It would be difficult to find
another solution that would be in
the interests of the two German
states and at the same time would
not be offensive or do damage to
other interested powers. The con
version of West Berlin into a free
city is such a solution.”

“■We and our allies may be bet
ter able then to judge what our
policies and actions should be,”
he-told the House of Commons.
f ‘My principal purpose will be
to' try to dispel misconceptions
arid establish some basis for better
understanding.”
In MoScow, Soviet Premier Ni
kita Khrushchev expressed hope
that' President Eisenhower will
also fc&ept a Soviet invitation for
a visit.
^dcrpillan, a shrewd salesman,
Will b« speaking only for Britain
in his contacts with Soviet lead

is a sort of scouting trip for all
the allies. - , - .

will accompany him.
The 64-year-old Macmillan
made his announcement after two
days of talks with U. S. Secretary
of State John Foster Dullus in
which new ideas on the Gergian
issue were fully discussed.
Dullus described himself as very
satisfied with the results. Then
he flew on to Paris, where he will
confer Fnday with President
Charles de Gaulle. Next will come
weekend consultations in Bonn.
Macmillan emphasized his aim
is to sound out the Kermlin’s
views on Western proposals for
averting a hot war — not to con
duct formal negotiations.
Afterward, he said he hoped to
consult in Bonn, or Paris, o r
Washington.

sider this plan. But Khruschchev
linked it to the whole situation
concerning divided Germany. Do
ing away with this point of ten
sion, he said, would ease East-West
relations.
Khrushchev spoke with the
knowledge that Britain’s Prime
Minister Harold Macmillan will
visit here 16 days hence.
In urging Eisenhower to follow,
the Soviet leader observed: “If
the President should wish to come
to our country he would be re
ceived with heartfelt hospitality
both by our government and the
Soviet people. He can take along
anyone he likes. They will all be
welcome guestsl”
“Let the President study a map
of the Soviet Union and pick out
the places in our country he would
like to visit. Ours is a big coun
try and there are many interest
ing places in it worth visiting and
seeing: His visit would unques
tionably be useful to both our
countries and would surely be ap
proved by the people of the U.S.A.
and the Soviet Union,” Khrush
chev said.
“We are extending this invita
tion without insisting on reci
procity.” >
That remark seemed to reflect
annoyance at news that Eisenhow
er had rejected the idea of a
Khrushchev visit to the United
States similar to the tour made
recently by Soviet Dep. Premier
Anastas I. Mikoyan.
