Associated Press stan Writer

HonbNAoNNA ANSo SSeAA
A dispute over possession OF
nuclear weapons within the
Communist bloc may lie close
to the heart of the great and
increasingly bitter theological
argument raging between Rus
sia and Red China.
This is one of the possibili-
ties being studied by top Of
hcials here in their search to
discover the hard. real issues
behind the angry, wordy debate
over peaceful co-eXistence" as
preached by the Soviets versus
the inevitability of war as ar
gued by the Chinese.
One aim of the United States
and its Western allies in dig
ging out all the information
possible on the dispute is to
discover if there are ways it
may be exploited to the benefit
of the West. So far no dra-
matte opportunities have oc-
Cured.
So far Washington leaders
are persuaded that, however
violent the words may become,
the forces which pull Russia
and Peiping together in their
common interests are much
greater than the forces which
push them apart.
Yet it is the central i'm
portance of their common in
terests which gives significance
to the dispute that has slowly
builtup between Moscow and
Peiping over the last year or
Evening star., 1960-08-28
Soviet, Red China Rift
Laid to NucIeor Issue

, more. 1t is this element. indeed,
which suggests that behind the
denunciations and name calling
which both sides now employ
are vital interests in solid issues
which tend to split them apart.
One of these is the problem
of nuclear weapons over which
within the Communist bloc
Moscow has a complete monop-
oily. In their war of words Mos
COW and Peiping have not
touched on this issue. They
have, in fact. avoided any ret
erences to the specific problems
behind their controversy.
Top officials here say. how
ever, that it must be assumed
that Communist China wants
or will want nuclear weapons
for its arsenals. Without such
weapons China must remain a
Second-rate power.
Chinese science and produc-
ton capacity eventually would
be able to create a nuclear
weapons output of its own but
aid from Moscow could speed
the process tremendously. The
same is true of atomic energy
for peaceful uses.
Against this obvious Chinese
need for nuclear might and for
the rocket power necessary to
give it real military meaning
stands Russia's unwillingness
to cooperate. At least on the
basis of all their contacts with
Soviet leaders at many levels
and in many conferences
United States officials are con-
vinced that Russia does not
Evening star., 1960-08-28

want mainland China to be-
come a nuclear power.
One obvious reason for this
is that Russia's own military
strength would not be en-
hanced by such developments
as establishment of missile
bases on Chinese territory. The
Soviets have sufficiently good
takeoff points in their own
huge lands to aim at the United
States or any other country
with which they might consider
war possible.
Additionally the Russians,
in spite of their constant talk
about Communist solidarity in
peace, we'll know they lack any
guarantee against grave trouble
with Red China in future years.
State Department officials
who watch every move in the
strange Communist contest say
that the nuclear weapons Situa-
tion is not necessarily the
source of the argument al
though it is undoubtedly one
of the central issues as things
now stand.
Jealousies between Soviet
Premier Khrushchev and Red
Chinese leader Mao Use Tung
are believed to play an import
ant role.
The impression here is that
Mao, an old man who proved
his skill and toughness inde-
pendently of Moscow, regards
Mr.. Khrushchev as a newcom-
er whose opinions are not so
important as Mao's own.
Another element at the CEN
ter of the dispute is almost
certainly the Chinese behavior
toward neighboring areas. The
Pieping Reds damaged Mr..
Khrushchev'S coexistence drive
seriously in recent years by
their ruthless takeover in Tibet
and their seizure of border ter
ritories long in dispute with
India.
