INAUGURATION
Seeurity Force
Will Total 5,000
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—Security pre
cautions as rigid as any ever
im-posed in this security-con
scious capital will be directed at
thwarting any potential assassin
in Friday’s inaugural crowds.
* About one million persons are
expected. The total security force
will top 5,000.
Secret Service agents will stand
on every rooftop, peer down every
manhole, and scan every human
cluster along the inaugural route
between the Capitol and the
White House.
Other agents will be hidden be
neath the special platforms on
which the incoming president will
stand—at the Capitol where John
F. Kennedy will take the oath
and at the White House where
We will watch the inaugural
parade.
Preparations for inaugural se
curity began under Secret Service
coordination soon after last No
vember’s election. While fewer
than 200 Secret Service agents
will be involved, they will get
help from several thousand Wash
ington police, hundreds of service
men and a team of plainclothes-
men from Washington and other
cities.
The Secret Service is also
counting on spectators to help
protect Kennedy.
“If anyone in the crowd should
make a threatening move,” said
Chief Inspector Michael Torina,
“you can be sure someone near
by would have the courage and
alertness to act.”-

MOSCOW—So much that is
wrong with Soviet agriculture has
been disclosed in a nine-day ses
sion of the Communist party’s
Central Committee that stern
measures taken by Premier Khru
shchev seem to be the -minimum
necessary to whip up production.
Theft of crops, bribery of man
ufacturers in order to get trac
tors, faked harvest reports de
signed to hide production failures
—all these have been brought out
under biting questions of Khru
shchev at the assembly which
ended Wednesday.
Khrushchev told farm leaders
and local party officials that pro
duction in their areas is going to
be the deciding factor as to whe
ther they stay in power.
“These jobs are not hereditary,”
he warned.

East Day As Citizen interpreting
..A
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Today is
John F. Kennedy’s last as a pri
vate citizen, and he’s making it
a busy one. First on the agenda:
A second White House conference
with President Eisenhowep.
Friday their roles will be re
versed; Eisenhower will become
a private citizen and Kennedy
will step into the White House.
Kennedy has maintained cordial
relations with Eisenhower in spite
of the hard fought campaign.
This, is a marked contrast to
Eisenhower’s relations with hig
predecessor, Harry S. Truman.
At their first post-election
meeting Dec. 6, Kennedy and
Eisenhower talked alone together
for an hour and 50 minutes.
Eisenhower was reported much
impressed with the man he sar
castically called “this young
genius” during the campaign.
At his final news conference
Wednesday, Eisenhower said the
transition to the Kennedy admin
istration has been going splen
didly.
Kennedy has a tight schedule
for the rest of the day. Later in
the morning he confers with Gen.
Lyman Lemnitzer, chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and
with Najeeb Halava, deputy chief
of the Federal Aviation Admin
istration.
In the afternoon are confer
ences with Arthur J. Goldberg,
secretatry of labor-designate, and
with the AFL-CIO Executive
Council; also a governors’ re
ception.
The evening is taken up with
social events, one a party in honor
of Eleanor Roosevelt. Then he
attends an inaugural concert and
a mammoth gala at the Armory
staged by Frank Sinatra and
Kennedy’s brother-in-law, Peter
Lawford.

Nikky Says Reds Will Wage War
If Capitalism Refuses To Yield
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
Premier Khrushchev’s speech
explaining last fall’s Interna
tional Communist manifesto
serves primarily to confirm West
ern estimates of Red intentions
regarding war and coexistence.
Unless capitalism yields to the
type of economic and ideological
war now being waged, if it in
sists on resisting, then the Com
munists will resort to war, even
thermonuclear war, to attain
their end of world proletarian
dictatorship.
That’s what Khrushchev said.
That’s the blackmail inherent
in the current position of Inter
national Communism.
is a key here to his policy in
Laos.
If the speech truly represents
Communist intent, it is the frank
est discussion yet, by a leading
authority, on the role of war in
the Communist blueprint for con
quest.
It supports the theory, long
held by many Western observers,
that the great danger of war will
come when the Communists are
threatened with loss of the cold
war, or if the West allows talks
of coexistence to weaken its de
fense posture. Or, too, if the
West faces loss of the cold war.
From the excerpts so far avail
able, it appears that Khrushchev
has the agreement of other Com
munist states for an intense po
litical drive against West Berlin
this year, but one which will be
The non-Communist world is
to be weakened as far as possible
with pacifism. Peaceful coexist
ence Khrushchev says, is an in
tense economic, political and ideo
logical struggle which makes it
easier to combat what he calls
imperialism.
His crusade for disarmament,
as a part of that struggle, is de
signed to narrow the ability of
the capitalist countries to make
war, he says. But since the other
countries will not go along, the
Soviet Union will conduct an in
tensive military buildup.
Nuclear war and “brush fires”
which could spread are best
avoided, the Communist leader
says, but full Red support should
be given national liberation ef
forts as in Algeria. Maybe there

OMAHA—The Strategic Air
Command announced today that
U. S. heavy bombers now are in
the air around the clock.
Gen. Thomas S. Power, SAC
commander-in-chief, said an un
specified number of B52s are in
the air at all times. About' two-
dozen bases are involved, he said.
Power said the indoctrination
phase of the airborne alert train
ing program has been completed
and now all combat-ready B52
bomber crews are participating
in airborne alert training mis
sions under realistic conditions.
He said the program is in
keeping with the U. S. policy of
being prepared, and is designed
“to reduce to an absolute mini
mum the time required by SAC
bombers to respond to any hostile
action t>y an aggressor.”
