Khrushchev's Reply
Disturbing to Allies

MOSCOW, April IA (AP).-
Premier KhruShchev's answer
to President Kennedy and
British Prime Minister Mac
milan on nuclear tests, stress
ing his refusal to bulge from
the Soviet position, was viewed
by important Western sources
today as a rough one.
The tone of the KhrushcheV
letter depressed Western diplo-
mats. who saw no indication
that the Russian has changed
his stand in any degree either
on the German and Berlin
situation, nuclear testing, dis
armament or general East
West relations.
In the light of the letter and
the unchanged position in Ber-
lin and Geneva, one Westerner
commented: He talks peaceful
co-existence but acts China"
This was a reference to the
Red Chinese demand for a
harder line toward the West
ern powers than Mr.. Khru-
shchev's avowed policy of
peaceful co-existence.
Pressure Noted
WeSterners have felt Mr..
Khrushchev has been under
considerable pressure for some
time at home and abroad to
improve his public image and
make some progress in solving
major problems under his policy
of coexistence. In Western eyes,
however, the situation is at dead
center on all big issues.
Western sources felt certain
the letter to Mr.. Macmillan,
Evening star., 1962-04-15

which also was given to the
United States Embassy. was
dictated by the Soviet premier
himself and not merely framed
by the Foreign Office for his
signature. 1t thus had greater
impact.
Mr.. Khrushchev refused to
reconsider Soviet refusal to ac-
cept an international inspection
system as a condition for a nu-
clear test ban treaty, as Mr..
Macmillan and Mr.. Kennedy
had urged him to do. He vowed
to match blast for blast -
whether in the atmosphere, in
space, underground or under
water-the nuclear tests of the
United States if it goes ahead
Evening star., 1962-04-15

with its mid-Pacific series this
month-as the United States
now seems bound to do.
Proposes Test
He said international inspec-
ttion was a scheme to carry out
"unhampered intelligence" in
the Soviet Union, and urged
the Western powers to put us
to the test" by showing trust
in the Soviet Union and signing
an unpoliced test ban.
One high Western source said
it appeared to him the Premier
felt his public image in the
West and among the neutrals
had deteriorated" and he was
trying to improve it.
What caused the deteriora-
ton?

items:
