Nixon Moscow summit tones shift amid press silence
Endorses Arnold. LITTLE ROCK AP The Arkansas Gable gave its endorsement Friday J. Richard Arnold of Texarkana one ots race for congressman from B ath District in Tuesday's Dem oTate primary By JAMES R. PEIPERT Associated Press Writer MOSCOW (AP) While President Nixon was in Peking three months ago Soviet journalists accused their Chinese counterparts of remaining silent on Vietnam to please the imperialist leader. As Nixon held summit talks in Moscow this week the rigidly controlled Soviet press could be accused of the same thing. The Vietnam war was practically ignored. This despite Nixon's orders to mine the harbors of North Vietnam only two weeks before he came to Moscow. Most observers agree the press silence was an effort to make sure the Vietnam problem did not interfere with the summit. The Soviet papers repeated that improved Soviet-American relations are possible. In what follows, workers at a factory in Newcastle strike after mice invaded their lunchroom. The mice have been exterminated. And as the summit talks went on some Kremlinologists detected signs of a mellower attitude. Soviet leaders wore smiles in photographs. The United States was mentioned in a favorable context, an unusual departure from government media bias. Pravda published the full text of Nixon's Kremlin banquet remarks. They described talks as businesslike. The Moscow News front paged Nixon and Soviet leaders smiling at the signing ceremony and paraphrased Nixon: Here this week we meet within these walls to make decisions that could help pave the way to peace for all the world.
