KHRUSHCHEV’S U.S. VISIT

“Security To Be Absolute” ♦

(Rec. 8 p.m.) WASHINGTON, August 17. Mr Khrushchev could be assured of “absolute security” on his visit to the United States, beginning on September 15, said the State Department’s security chief (Mr William Boswell). Special agents will make a “dry run” of every place on the proposed itinerary to see what problems have to be met. Mr Boswell added: “Most of our job is to see the trips go smoothly without hitches. We are basically arrangers, with a limited staff of our own. So we solicit and obtain the co-opera-tion of local law enforcemeni agencies.

“Premier Khrushchev is of great interest to the world. This is not a routine visit because of the enormous interest in the Premier and in this particular visit We can foresee traffic jams, and crowds multiplied wherever he goes. Our job is to facilitate an orderly movement from one point to another.”
