Nixon Continues Touring; Gets Warmer Reception
(Compiled from United Press)
Vice-president Richard M. Nixon got the warmest reception of his Latin American tour when he arrived in Bogota, Colombia Sunday. He smiled down minor Communist heckling which failed to dim the cheers of thousands who greeted him.
In Washington, administration officials said today they saw a tiny ray of hope in Moscow's latest disarmament offer to President Eisenhower. But many weighty questions remained to be answered, they said, before the government decided whether Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev was opening the door to a first-step disarmament agreement or merely making another propaganda move.
Mr. Nixon began a tour of a Colombian agricultural station in Tibaitata today. This is the farthest afield from a major city he has taken his goodwill tour to date.
Khrushchev touched off considerable surprise and speculation in western circles with his latest letter to President Eisenhower. According to an announcement by the official Soviet news agency Tass in Moscow Sunday, Khrushchev said in the letter that despite "serious doubts" Russia was willing to hold technical talks with the U.S. aimed at ending nuclear weapons tests.
Communists shouted anti-Nixon slogans yesterday when he arrived at his hotel and later at Bogota's parks where he placed floral wreaths on the monuments of Colombia's two greatest heroes, liberator Simon Bolivar and founder of the republic, Francisco De Paula Santander.
Nixon also got a warm welcome from Colombia's labor leaders Sunday when he presented a library with 300 books as a gift from the United States for Colombia's two free trade unions.
In Belgrade, Yugoslavia, the Soviet Union has delivered an ultimatum to President Tito demanding that he return to the Communist bloc or face the consequences, it was disclosed today.
The ultimatum was expected to be followed by economic pressure on
