Khrushchev ( to record) ( ¥ ,.' ~ , Note to use January . rbt the night before TV Here I am again, in the Middle East, on my way to Southern Asia, to take part 1n a tiger hunt -- that is, hunting tiger with a camera. I've just been spending a little time with one of the leading diplomats in this part of the world, who returned to his country the other day from Russia. Whenever you meet any9ne who has been in Mosocow, sooner or later you get around to discussing Stalin's successor. I believe you will be interested in what he had to say about Khrushchev. I Some weeks ago when u was flying to Australia, nearly ever American I met was moaning about the failure of that American rocket. Then it wae t h e one topic of conversation. Everywhere they were saying to me: Our friends 1n these co tries are now making such remarks as: 1 Ho, ho, you and your American technical superiority! Ho, ho, and so on." They were taking aterrif1c ribbing. Now, a month later, l find that our overseas Americans are still in need of something to boost their morale. Well, this oriental Ambassador said to me today: "You Amer1ans will be making a mistake if yo~hink that Khrushchev underestimates you.'' And then he added: I happen to know that he has no illusions. I happen to know that he has the greatest respect for your country and the abtlity ■1 and capacity of the American people. He is fully aware that you will quickly overtake Russia Khrushchev - in any technical field where for the moment they happen to forge ahead. He said he know this because he had been in fairly frequent contact with Khrushchev eve · r since he became the top u man in Moscow. suggest Then he went on to say: Furthermore, I suspect that you not be misled by Khrushchev's ad lib off the cuff remarks. Behind that free and easy style is," I ~. he went on, 1s a down to earth peasant who ls fully aware of what America has accomplished and can do." This eastern Ambassador who I am sure can be considered a fri:end of America, makes another observation that may interest you. He says that Khrushchev ls the most relaxed man in high office he has ever encountered. That, he is always ready to talk on any subject, and, to the surprlae of some people, he usually says things that make a lot or sense. ANother high ■:Ht•■u offlc1Jal i!n this diplomat's own government spok~ up and said: Mr. Ambassador, from the time we are small children, our parents -- that 1s all of us who are not Communists, our parents teach us •lntx that Buddha, Confucius, Moses, Jesus and Mohammed, made it clear that we must always speak the t~utn. Now tell us, ln this modern Russia where you have been for a number of years, there where they have a Godless state, w h a t ~ KhP1t1thehe¥ - 3 o you find is there concern about the truth? I■ To which the . mbassador replied: In M c scow I have often tried to find the a nswer to that. But, so far, I have failed. When I put that q uestion direct, to Russia, people I think I know fairly well, all I ever get in reply is that their Communist leaders in their writings, set forth the rules that they should follow. That's all. By the wa y , tomorrow night, on CBS, TV. my sponsor will be presenting the next in our High Adventure series. lf you see it, watch closely for an extraordinary American named ... Dorothy. You will catch several glimpses of her. There are more Americans roaming this al globe today than ever before 1n history and this one is something special. I never encountered anyone qufte like Borothy. Solong FLAIi A U.S. NaYy trans p ort plane made a forced landing today, on the Antarctic continent.
