Tengand ceremony, will be Carter's first face-to-face encounter with China's 74-year-old premier. AS HE appeared at the door of his China Civil Airlines jet at Andrews air base, Teng was applauded by the American welcoming party. He applauded in return, in the traditional Chinese style of thanking his hosts for their greeting.

Teng waved, then descended a ramp, trailed by a half dozen Chinese officials wearing dark coats. Several were women. Two Chinese preceded the vice premier down the ramp and recorded the event with movie cameras. At the foot of the ramp, Teng and the Americans exchanged greetings. There were no speeches, apparently only small talk.

Not long before Teng's plane touched the runway, the American flag was hoisted from half staff, where it had flown to mourn former Vice President Nelson A. Rockefeller. About 300 persons, mostly Chinese, joined in the greeting. The U.S. government arranged for their presence as representatives of the Chinese-American community.

Some held a 28-foot banner, red with gold Chinese lettering, that said: "Warmly Welcoming Vice Premier, Teng Hsiao-ping Visit to the United States." MEANWHILE, China's official news media published thousands of words praising America and Americansas Teng began his visit. Peking's Hsinhua news agency distributed a long statement by Cul-. ture Minister Huang Chen that was printed in the Peking People's Daily of the Communist Party. It referred to "America's fertile land, beautiful scenery, advanced science and technology, developed industry and bounteous agriculture." vices for Nellie Johnston, 87, Sherrard, will be 1:30 p.m. Tuesday at Sherrard Community Presbyterian Church.
