Description
Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev visited the University of Pittsburgh on his transcontinental tour of the United States. Chancellor Litchfield hosted Mr. Khrushchev on his visit. Khrushchev had taken over after the death of Stalin, and started to slowly open doors to the rest of the world. During his time in Pittsburgh he visited the Mesta Machine Company in West Homestead, and also Mount Washington to take in a view of the city. Mr. Khrushchev issued a challenge to the United States during his speech, that the Soviet Union would pass the United States, but that the two should become partners in production.
