Imes Company. -NEW YORK, SATURDAY, APRIL 22,1967 - Expression' Stalin's Daughter in U.S. to 'Seek Self- Memoirs Sold --She Tells of Faith in God

Text of Kennan statement is printed on Page 11. By PETER KIFISS Svetlana Alliluyeva, Stalin's daughter, came to the United States yesterday "to seek the self-expression that has been denied me for so long in Russia." In a statement she wrote In English, she said she had grown to believe that "it was impossi- ble to exist without God in one's heart." "Since that moment," she added, "the main dogmas of Communism lost their signifi- cance for me." For her, she said, there were no longer capitalists or Com- munists—only people, the same everywhere in their hopes and ideals. That was the formal state- ment. She herself was beaming, assured, almost sparkling, when she sat before a crowded nest of microphones at Kennedy In- ternational Airport. "Hello there, everybody"' she exclaimed. "I am very happy to be here!" With her arrival from Switz- erland came the disclosure that two Americans had played key roles in her decision to come here. They were George F. Ken- nan, former Ambassador to the Soviet Union, and Edward S. Greenbaum, a New York lawyer, who has become her representa- tive in both literary and per- The New York Times sonal affairs on Mr. Kennan's Svetlana Alliluyeva facing reporters and photographers yesterday at Kennedy Airport initiative.
