7 *'\t/. &:&*> Jt Bad Real reason Kosygin came check passer: By ART BUCHWALD WASHINGTON - There was so much talk last week about Premier Alexei Kosygin's summit talk with President Lyndon Johnson that the real reason for Premier Kosygin's trip te the United States was obscured. Despite what he said at his press conference, I can now reveal that the main purpose of the Soviet premier's U.S. visit was to meet with Svetlana Stalin and see if he could tie up the Iron Curtain rights to the book she wrote about her lather • * « • For months now the Soviet Union publishers, Harpmski and Rowvitch, have been trying to see Svetlana. but to no avail. Then, by a stroke of luck, the Middle East war took place. and when it was over the Ar\ih- backed ^> thr Snv;»•>*, vw". r w r y sad -tram The Nn :et pub'..-he's went to see P r c m ^ r Ko<\um and told him me Tod'a'n-r of 'he Arabl>ratl; d.-:.;'• :r trie Ur.ited N\-.ii'-'V.s vN:>ii;d g.ve h:r^ a per:ce' e\cu>e tQ go to N'-'A York ard make contact with Svetlana. They pointed out that with the publicity the book had received, the Iron Curtain rights were worth $2 billion, exactly the same amount of money the Soviets had lost in arming the Arabs in their war with the Israelis. Premier Kosygin was at first reluctant to go v if I go to the United States I'll probably have to speak in the United Nations and condemn Israel as an aggressor and defend the Arabs, which isn't very easy and still I can t be sure Svetlana will see me or not." • w • • Tht Soviet publishers argued, ''Comrade Kosygin this isn't an ordinary book There"s a lot of !Ptcre>t in Stalin right now. ar.d this could be the b^gost urf"kZ since 'War and Peace "Wf ve already had bid^ from Prawia. Ii'vestia and Red Star The Proletariat Book of the M^rth Club i< ^ffermg $5W rm'!••>'-> r.:b>- :rd the So\:e* Dice-t 'A ants t) pr;n exc»-4 pts for :ts CX't >b<r Revolu- tion isue. I c?n't tell you how many advance orders we've had from trade union discount houses." 'I know it sounds good on paper," Kosygin said, "but how do we know that Svetlana hasn't said embarrassing things in the book about the present regime ,> " i n the contract we'll say that the book can't be published without the approval of you, Brezhnev and Podgorny." ' Of course. Why didn't 1 think of that 0 We'll insist on changing anything in the manuscript that we don't approve ef " "Exactly And if she still tries to publish without the changes. we 11 take her to court " » • • » "AH right. If >ou think we can recoup our $2 billion :t may be worth a try. But nobody is to know We will announce that my sole reason for going to New York is to bring about peace in the Middle East and comdemn the aggressors who launched tbeu cowardly attack en the U.A.R. Jerdan and Syria." "Why not? It's as good a cover story as any." 4t Do you think Svetlana will agree to see m e ? " "You don't have to see her Contact her lawyers and spell out the deal Have you ever heard of a defector whe wouldn't want to have a best seller in her own country?" "I suppose not. Maybe she might even come back to the Soviet Union and plug the book when it's published." **Youc6uld suggest it to her. Okay, then It's settled. We'll announce you're going to the United Nations tomorrow. If you don't get the book rights, you'll still make the Arabs happy" It is not known whether Kosygin saw Svetlana while he was in the United States, but it is believed that the premier was unsuccessful in his efforts to get the book. Nobody in the Soviet Union bothered te tell Kosygin that Svetlana's lawyers were named Greenbaum and Katz. \ \ Country B\ tears The old days By FRANK PROVOST Bookmark TWENTY-FIVE VEARS AGO Rationing *:^: wartime sugar was relaxed for cermir home canning den: :>ns:ra::or.s \^c d^c group > to y- registered under Selective Sermce WeOv; Loi\' r '' headed tne Dannemora Sta'e Hospital Ass> Why bypass downtown on urban renewal • P <; 0* tnc C t.Z€'"S Z" *~e •a r.a\e e *^ be c^r::r.ua:l> C*> s rovi.'v otntr car< :re or the r> .-.d *-»P e~z » z'.
