Being Driven
Out of Area


(AP). - Premier Khrushchev
today branded President Ken
nedy's order to land Marines
in Thailand "an unwise deci-
sion" and predicted the Ameri-
cans would ultimately be
thrown out of Southeast Asia.
The Soviet leader denounced
American policy in Laos and
Wet Nam and accused the
United States of Spilling blood
there to prop up pro-Western
regimes.
Mr.. Khrushchev made the re-
marks in an impromptu speech
to about 5000 collective faNn-
ers in this central Bulgarian
town. But the speech gradually
turned into an hour-long lee
ture on foreign and Communist
bloc affairs to a small group of
Western correspondents report
ing his six-day visit to Bulgaria.
Sees Fear of New
Wagging his finger and
speaking directly to a knot of
nine newsmen standing in front
of him, Mr.. Khrushchev said
he had read about Mr.. Kenne-
dy's decision in the morning
newspapers.
That is not a proof of great
intelligence and it Is an unwise
decision" he said.
The Soviet leader said the
American move was another
proof of the truth Of Marxist
analyses of imperialist agrees
sion.
i This is another case Of the
capitalists fearing the new"
he said.
President Kennedy Tuesday
ordered United States strength
in Thailand beefed up to 5000
American Marines, soldiers and
sailors, in response to a Com
munist, offensive in Laos. He
said it was Ito help insure the
integrity Of this peaceful
country"
Cites Rusk Agreement
Mr.. Khrushchev noted that
agreement for the action had
been concluded by United
States Secretary Of State Dean
Rusk and Thailand's Foreign
Minister.
But who has chosen this
minister" he asked. 1T was not
the people. He was designated
by the remnants Of capitalism
in that country who are afraid
and who hope the United States
will give them the power to
support these remnants"
Mr.. Khrushchev said, THE
ministers may sign but the
people will finally decide.
Speaking of another Southeast
Asian hotspot, he said:
Life in North Wet Nam is
flourishing, while in the South
blood is flowing.
who is shedding this blood?
It is the United States"
Predicts Expulsion
Turning to an American
correspondent, he continued:
You pretend that you sent
only officers Ito South Wet
Mann, but it means that you
are spilling blood. But don't
worry, they will be thrown out"
He said the French Army
had fought Communists in
IndoChina for seven years be-
fore they got out.
"The Americans may be
there Is years because they
don't understand and won't
get out. But they will be kicked
QUIT is just a question of
time" he said.
Sees Thai Strength
To the Bulgarian collective
farmers, most of whom did not
appear to understand what he
was talking about, Mr.. Khru-
shchev said:
"They are afraid for Thailand
as they were afraid of the small
Laotian people. They have crept
in an landed their marines.
Well, let them try-the That's
will show them what they are
made of.
1T would be best for the
Americans to give up their role
as the international policeman.
But nothing will save the
United States from its crash
because the United States, too,
has its working class and even
tually communism will triumph
there too.
II have said this in the
United States and it is nothing
new but I will repeat it and
will say it until the end Of
my days"
