The President was welcomed to Guam by Lt. Gen. Gerald W. Johnson, commander of the 3rd air division, Rear Adm. Paul E. Pugh, commander of the naval forces in the Mariana Islands, and civilian officials of the U.S. controlled island It was late afternoon Sunday Guam time when the President's jet touched own. After brief arrival ceremonies, Nixon and his wife, Pat, motored to Pugh's residence on Nimitz Hill to spend the night. Nixon has warned that his week-lon- g talks will not produce an instant detente. But there is little doubt the President considers this trip to be the -- foreign policy high point of his administration. As he reached Guam, Nixon had traveled 8,800 miles of his U,51(knile trek to Peking. Still ahead was a 2,0 0 flight to Shanghai and a hop from there to the capital. ' Nixon, wearing a blue sports coat and grey slacks, and his wife, Pat, wearing a blue and white dress, left on the "Spirit of 76" from Kaneohe Marine Air Station in Hawaii at 6:31 3,850-mil-e p jn. EST for the flight to Guam. Some 7,000 persons mostly servicemen appeared at the airstrip for the departure.

He also said, "tomorrow I'll be in China. This journey begins in Hawaii the state where East and West meet a splendid example of people of different races living and working together." Nixon called on all Americans to pray that Hawaii, "which marks the beginning of the Great World War 30 years ago, will be the start of a journey that serves the cause of world peace." The presidential jetliner lifted 710-mi- le s. both in an F105 Hawley's phantom was downed Feb. 17, also over Quang Binh.
