On hand to greet the TU-104 jet that brought Cleveland Industrialist Cyrus S. Eaton (Chesapeake & Ohio Railway, Steep Rock Iron Mines) were crowds of children bearing flowers, and Soviet Minister of Agriculture Vladimir Matskevich bearing official greetings. Three years ago Eaton gave Matskevich's department a prize Shorthorn bull, which had nobly performed to improve the quality of Russia's herds...
