"RN Plans to Seek $250M for Egypt" leads Inquirer, as
well as Star (Tues), NY Times and LA Times.
W/ p. 2 story and photo, NY Times gives EMK's "cordial"
USSR reception its best Wed treatment. Overall, least attn in 4
days to the EMK visit. Other coverage: "Cheering Russians
Greet Ted"
Photo of crowds around EMK also seen in Star,

"Kennedys Make Hit in Soviet Ga/
Peasants Love Them. 11
Monitor suggests "Kremlin's learned at least 1 lesson. It
doesn't snub a prominent leader of opposition in US any more. 11
EMK's reception contrasted to that given RN in '67, and it'd seem
EMK's "profiting from the RN record
Whatever the motive
it was another incident in US/USSR dialogue. The more such, the
better for all concerned. 11
Vera Glaser notes EMK "angered"
Soviets but "that doesn't mean he's lost his power to charm
political foes. EMK recently made a conquest of 'Big Ruby'
Austin, " Wallace's mother-in-law. Said Big Ruby of EMK's
'72 visit to Ala, : "I just loved him. I couldn't contain myself.
I just wanted to talk to him so bad. 11
Drummond notes Far Eastern Review "confirms that Western
media are making the same mistake -- in reverse -- they made
in reporting on PRC during early years of Communist takeover."
Then the press was totally critical. Now it's totally uncritical.
Hartke on CBS AM film contended it's Admin policy to be
"adversary, " not advocate, of vets, so merely to change VA head
doesn't help vet.
Hartke says Admin made Johnson "a scapegoat
for its failures. 11 The Vets Comm. Chrm also criticized Johnson
"for his inaction to help vets himself. 11 He believes VA's record
of "administrative ineptitude and sheer callousness toward vets
accurately reflects Admin attitude. 11 Hartke says hearings on
successor will probe policies and philosophies of both the
nominee and Admin.
