MOSCOW, Dec. 20 (P.-
Nikita Khrushchev today ac-
cused President Eisenhower Of
Crude interference" in the af-
fairs Of Communist nations. and
dismissed his open skies arms in
spection as nothing more than
military intelligence"
He boosted that the Soviet
hydrogen bomb can be con-
siderably increased in power"
At the same time he criticized
Secretary Dulles as advocating
massive retaliation and other abb
surdities."
The Communist Party chief
spoke for two hours before the
Supreme Soviet (Parliament).
Some Western politicians
have a strange idea of the &C.
neva spirit" he asserted. They
want us to disarm our army and
also to disarm morally and po-
ilitically."
Criticizes "Unwillingly"
/ Mr.. Khrushchev said he spoke
about Mr.. Eisenhower critically
most unwillingly" because he
respected the President 80
much" But. he declared, the
Presidents Christmas message
to the people of Eastern Euro
pean Communist nations lis
quite incompatible with the
Geneva spirit"
! This referred to presidential
message broadcast by Radio Free
Europe saying:
! During the Christmas season
I want you to know that the
American people recognize the
trials under which you are suf-
fering; join you in your concern
flor the restoration of individual
freedoms and political liberty:
and share your faith that right
lin the end will prevail to bring
you once again among the free
nations Of the world"

Averell Hartman of New York

gime in the peoples democracies
is crude interference in the in

and only leads to melting pas
sions and the ornaments race.
said the stocky Communist
leader, as 1.400 members of the
Supreme Soviet listened atten-
lively.
In Albany, N. Y. Mr.. Harri-
man said of the criticism of him:
This is old stuff. The Com
munists have been attacking me
for over eight years because
they know / understand what
they are up to and have been
outspoken in exposing their SUBJ
versive tactics"
CAS- far as United States
officials could recall it was the
first time any major Soviet
! leader had used such critical
language about President Eli
senhower since the summit
conference in Geneva; in fact
since the Bulganin regime
took over in February after
Georgi K. Malenkov quit)

I Mr.. Khrushchev repeated the
statement he made in India
after the recent H-bomb test ex-
plosion in the Soviet Union

was equivalent to many mil
lion tons of ordinary explosives. |"
! He said that although I'VE do
not want to boast about our
military and technical strength, ]"
he wanted to remind the West
about the test explosion.
The power of this weapon
was equivalent to many million
tons of ordinary explosives and
it can be considerably increase"
he added. People who are try
ing to increase tension should
remember the results of this
test"
