Kensington House For Khrushchev
(Rec. 9 p.m.) LONDON, July 4. President Nasser, of the United Arab Republic, has presented the Russian Prime Minister, Mr Khrushchev, with a £60,000 house in “Millionaires Row,” Kensington’s famed diplomatic area in West London, according to the “Daily Express” diarist. I Until a few days ago the house, at 19 Kensington Palace Gardens, was the London address of the Ambassador of Syria. But Syria did not need an Ambassador now, being the junior member of the republic. So President Nasser, overwhelmed with hosptilality on his recent Moscow visit, had responded with the gift of the house, the diarist said, quoting a “Whitehall friend.” The Soviet Ambassador, Mr Jacob Malik, will have the task in the coming months of reorganising the property, the diarist said. It would be merged with the premises next door, which house the Soviet Embassy staff. It would be redesigned with a well-appointed cinema, restaurant and children’s nursery. Important Russian vistors would have rooms upstairs.
