...week long, Soviet Ambassador Mikhail A. Menshikov shuttled back and forth between his embassy on Washington's 16th Street and conferences at the State Department over Nikita Khrushchev's visit. A major general and a colonel of the Komitet Gosudarstvennoi Bezopasnosti, the Kremlin's secret police, gumshoed quietly across the country, turning up in such unlikely places as Des Moines and Ames, Iowa to check security angles at airports, hotels and along principal streets. The State Department gulped at the word from Moscow that the size of the Khrushchev official party had reached almost 100, headed...

On his first night, Khrushchev will attend a formal dinner given by the President, and the next day will visit the Agricultural Research Center at Beltsville, Md., address a luncheon at the National Press Club (with nationwide radio and television coverage), tour the capital, and play host at dinner for President and Mrs. Eisenhower...

...Overgenial Host. In London, Prime Minister Harold Macmillan also reaped a political fortune from Ike's visit, and in Britain, where a general election is looming, the fact was particularly pertinent. Playing the genial host far more actively than was strictly necessary, wily Harold capitalized on his opportunity to the utmost. Although the Queen's representative, the Earl of Gosford. was on hand as a symbol of the head of state to greet Eisenhower at the airport, it was the Prime Minister who suavely climbed into the limousine to share Ike's first triumphal tour of London...
