Visit Of Chou
To Moscow Held
Fear Indication
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Staff Correspondent
..The. announcement, that. Chou
En-lai is to visit Moscow shows
clearly how worried the Soviet
government is over its present sit-
uation.
It is evident that the mvitation
to the Chinese Communist leader
to gf> to Russia was both unex-
pected and urgent.
Chou was in Pakistan, in the
middle of a highly successful tour
of East Asian countries, when the
Moscow invitation reached him.
To Visit Nehru
As the result Chou will interrupt
his tour. He plans to go to India
to confer with Prime Minister
Jawaharlal Nehru, then fly to Pei-
ning for consultation with his Red
continue on the Russia, arriving on
Jan. 7.
From Moscow, it is announced.
Chou will go to Warsaw to visit
"Titoist" Polish Communist leader
Wladyslaw Gomulka.
This visit, too, is unexpected and
certainly significant.
It is uncertain whether Gomulka
extended his invitation on his own
initiative — possibly without con-
sulting Russia—or whether he
acted in cooperation with the So-
viet government.
Gomulka is steering Poland
skillfully on a difficult course. As
the result of the Polish revolt, he
has won a great measure of inde-
pendence from Russian domina-
tion. He is now trying to keep the
aroused Polish people from anti-
Russian outbreaks.
Keeping In Line
It is possible that Russia wants
Chou to talk to Gomulka in order
to keep him in line.
But it must be remembered that
at the time of the Polish revolt
Chou expressed his approval of
Gomulka's bid for independent
Communism.
When Chou later supported Rus-
sian intervention in Hungary, he
sent a secret message to Gomulka
emphasizing that this did not mean
a change in his attitude toward
Poland.
Chou visited India before Prime
Minister Nehru went to the United
States to scfe President Eisenhow-
er.
,While he was in India Chou
made on attempt to keep secret
his opinion that, while he publicly'
approved the Soviet intervention in
Hungary, he believed that Russia
had tarnished its own prestige and
had harmed world Communism by
its brutality.
It seems certain that the Rus-
sians want to fix up their rela-
tions with Red China and try to
keep Chou from making any state-
ments which are critical of Rus-
sian policy.
ey worked as usual; Ann Blyth
sing on the Academy Awards
show shortly before she had a
baby. Connie Haines and Judy
Garland also appeared on TV be-
fore motherhood.
Now one of the most surprising
sights in Las Vegas these days is
the several pregnant singers who
perform nightly in the lavish
hotels on the glittering gambling
"strip." •* ,
Natalie, a petite brunette who
sings in the lounge at the Sands
hotel, keeps a local dressmaker
busy whipping her up glamorous
maternity evening clothes to wear
in her act.
Local wags call the Sahara
hotel lounge the maternity ward
Keely Smith and husband Louis
Prima sang there two years ago
when she was an expectant moth-
er. Next month Keely opens in the
lounge—in maternity dresses again.
Keely will replace another sin-
ger awaiting motherhood, Mary
Kaye of the wildly—applauded
Mary Kaye trio. Although Mary
expects her child next month, she
sings from midnight to 6 a. m. in
the Sahara lounge, five shows a
night.
How do the customers react to
this new trend?
"Ninety - nine per cent of the
people who come in here think
it's wonderful," smiled Mary as
she rested between shows. "Tour-
ists from all over the country
come up to me and ask how 1
feel.
"Actually, doctors today advise
women to continue their normal
life. Housewives keep on working
at home—why shouldn't I ? And
what a housewife does is much
more strenuous.
"I just sing. I sit down on the
stage a lot and they have a dress-
ing room for me to rest in be-
tween shows."
