Of Surprises In
\ isit \\ if Ii 'Nikita
NEW YORK (VPi — Poet Robert
Frost came back Sunday from a
trip to the Soviet Union and
impishly told about a secret and
a few surprises.
The secret, the 88-year-old poet
said, was a message from Soviet
Premier Khrushchev to President
Kennedy.
Asked to disclose the message,
he wagged a finger at newsmen
and replied: "Oh, no, that’s up to
the President. I couldn’t do that.”
As for planning to meet with the
President, Frost answered: “I don’t
plan; I wait for the President.”
The white-haired poet then dis
closed that Khrushchev believed
the United States would not fight.
"Khrushchev said he feared for
us modern liberals,” Frost de
clared. “He said we were too
liberal to fight. I suppose that he
thought we’d stand there for the
next hundred years saying, ‘on
the one hand—but on the other i
hand’.”
Frost spent 10 days touring the
Soviet Union, during which he
read poetry and met with many
Russian leaders.
Turning to his poetry, Frost said
he had been asked to read his
works, especially "Mending Wall”
which begins, “sometime there is
that doesn’t love a wall—”
However, he said he didn’t be
lieve the request for the poem had
anything to do with the Berlin
Wall.
Frost summed up his political
attitude by saying: “I find it quite
hard to strain up to socialism. On
the questions of socialism and wel
fare states, I go slow. I drag my
feet. I have, however, about de
cided that socialism is the only
way to handle the billions being
born.
"I said to the Russians that
they’re easing down to socialism
and we’re straining to it. But I’ll
be dead by that time.”

I American Poet
(Jiaractcrixrs
.Nikita as Ruffian
Not Afraid to Fi<£lit
MOSCOW e? — Aitiorican poet
Robert Frost characterized S >vict
i Premier Khrushchev Saturday as
I "the kind of a ruffian" who is not
afraid of a fight or of being mag
nanimous.
A Soviet woman reporter sug
! Rested Frost meant rough, not ruf
fian, but the 88-year-old poet who
does not always hear well, went
light on talking without paying
any attention to her and it seemed
apparent he was speaking ad
miringly.
But later, in a visit at the U.S.
Embassy, he commented on his
meeting with the Soviet Premier:
"We didn’t pretend to like each
other."
Frost flew down to Gagra on the
Black Sea at Khrushchev’s request
Friday and had a talk of an hour
or more with the Soviet leader, j
Frost wasn’t feeling so well —
because of a stomach upset —
when he arrived at the resort, so
it was Khrushchev who went to
see the poet at the government
house where he was staying.
Frost sat on the edge of his bed.
“and went to it,” he told a news
conference Saturday.
The interview, judging by
Frost’s account, was pretty disor
ganized and rambled all over the
lot.
“Yes, in a way,” said Frost when
asked if Krushchev had given him
a message for President Kennedy.
But the poet’s associates stopped
him from telling what it was. Out
of courtesy, messages to the Pres
ident are given to him first.
But, said Frost, Khrushchev told 1
him to tell the President “not to ]
do this, and do that, and that he 1
musn’t do this and must do that,
quite a few things.”
All this, he explained, was “not
on a low level of partisanship, all
high level."
"I knew he was that kind of
ruffian. He's a big fellow. He’s
all ready for a fight. He’s not a
coward. He’s not afraid of us and
I we're not afraid of him.”
Frost said he had hoped to per
suade Khrushchev and the So
viets to compete with the United
States in “strife and magnanimity," j
and continued:
“He agrees with strife and with j
magnanimity. He’s no saphead. j
