The vice - president discussed with Wladyslaw Gomulka, leader of the Polish Workers; (Commun- ist) party, a wide range of world issues, including the forthcoming trip to the United States of Pre- mier Khrushchev and a_ return visit by President Eisenhower.

The news of the exchange of visits was announced in Moscow and Washington as Nixon was in a 5%-hour conference with Go- mulka and other Polish officials. The talks almost equalled in length the six-hour talk he had! pro: with Khrushchev in Moscow.

WAS UNDER CONSIDERATION Nixon disagreed with a re porter who said it was strange the invitation was announced before the vice-president returned to dis- cuss it with the president. ,

“Oh No,” he said, “This has been somethifig under considera- tion before my trip.”

, The talk with Gomulka, who was restored to party leadership three years ago in an independ- ence - from - Moscow movement that swept Poland, stretched far beyond its allotted time.

The discussion became so in- tense that Gomulka, rather than break it off, had a luncheon

brought to the council of minist- ers building.

Also present were Premier Jo- zef Cyrankiewicz and Foreign Minister Adam Rapacki.

The vice - president would say only. that the talk was full and frank and covered international matters as well as Polish-Ameri- can issues.

It was reported, however. that ithe Polish leaders had cautioned against rearming West Germany.

Two years later, Premier Ma- theson called a- general election and at that time reduced the Comservatiwe opposition from six to four members.

The government does not legal- ly have to go to the country until after the next session of the legislation but the Premier ob- served yesterday that it has al-
