They both spoke of peace. El-scn'hower said the U.S. covets no now territory and wants no war. lie hoped that as Khrush-. Ik'v came to believe this, "�there

Khrushchev said he ?ame with "open heart and good intentions." The Russian people wanted to live in friendship with tihe U.S., but Khrushchev reminded Americans that the Soviet Union was the first and only country to shoot a rocket to the moon.

MOSCOW (AP)�Moscow newspapers told readers today that Washington's w c 1c o m e to Ni-kita Khrushchev was the greatest in history of the American capital.
Stories appearing in 1'ravda and I/.vestia said the Soviet l> v a in i e r was greeted by "friendly shouts" and "stormy applause" from a smiling crowd no bin "there was not even a place to drop an apple" on  the street.
�'Xot even the uml of World War JI brought such a sea of people onto the streets of Washington," sa-id< the Communist party organ  Pravda.
�'About 300,000 Americans met the Soviet guests, people stood on rooftops mid balconies and many climbed monuments or trees."
1'ravda said that the "leader of the great Soviet state comes with open heart and most noble intentions."
The Soviet government newspaper Izvcstia � edited by Khrushchev's son-in-law Alexi I. Adzhubci, 35, who is travelling with him�gave an even more enthusiastic account.
"E v e ry w her e there were smiles and raised arms. There were outbursts of applause. The streets of Washington from the most distant outskirts were packed with people . . .
"Washington had never before
seen   anything   like   this   .   .   .' Washington   police   estimated the crowd at about 200,000. American, Canadian and older Western    reporters    described the  reception as polite but  restrained,   with   a   large   measure   of  silence  along the   parade  route. BAKU FOR NIXON

T'ne trovernment organ said Nixon "tried to combine his not very impressive excursions into the field of science with bad-smelling policy when he permitted himself to attack the Soviet Union."
Izvehtiil apparently referred to  the  comment   by  the   vice-president    on    Sunday    when talking to reporters about  the Soviet   moon  rocket. A  press aide with Nixon said there  was no official proof yet that the rocket had actually hit the    moon.    Nixon    said:    "Yes, that's   true.   None   of  us   really knows  that   it   is in  the moon."
