Sokolsky the first time the Eisenhower administration took a Strong step sent troops to Lebanon established an area base in Turkey while our ally great Britain went into Jordan Nikita Khrushchev agreed to come to new York to join in the interminable pow wow at the United nations. First he wanted to go to Geneva where it is Cool and refreshing during the summer months and to bring Nehru along with him. He wanted president Eisenhower to be in Geneva last tuesday Eisenhower did not go to Geneva As instructed so Khrushchev announced his willingness to come to new York along with Nehru and a Bunch of arabs. When and if they come to the United nations Dag Hammarskjold unquestionably will put out a red carpet for Khrushchev and the hungarians will March on a picket line. Too thai picket line will be some problem for the local police but men May engage in lawful picketing As Long As they do not throw Ink bottles the they do in Moscow. In fact Here they May not throw anything except words. If might be suggested to the hungarians that they arrange a float upon which they place their four most publicized hungarian refugees Mamma Gabor and her three daughters Zsa Zsa. Eva and Magda they will then be sure of an enormous crowd for who would not prefer to see the gators to having a look at Nikita Khrushchev the gators might Wear hungarian Gypsy costumes and sing to the music of a Zembala As Khrushchev is to visit us As a member of a United nations delegation nobody but Henry Cabot Lodge or. Is under any obligation to be civil about it.

I have often wondered at the Fine Law abiding qualities of the residents of now York under the provocation of having All kinds of murderers assassins enemies of the United states and similar evil characters standing up in the United nations.
