G. Herbert Marshall re-
grets in a letter that no
American who counts in
world affairs has yet thrown
q bouquet" at Khrushchev
for his stand on peaceful
co-existence against the Red
Chinese claims for global
war. Mr.. Marshall's regrets
are unfounded.

Of communism, or on the
strategy and tactics in gen.

Manifesto proclaims that
