here to suspect that the Soviet
Union Is at q point where il
must determine whether it will
continue to seek adjustment
with the West or will swing
hard over to the tough line de-
manded by Red China.
The pressure on Mr.. Khru-
shchev to preserve solidity ir
the Communist bloc is known
to be great, not only on the
part of Peiping but on the part
of some of his associates both
in the Soviet Union and in the
European camp.
3 Points Two Ways
There has been evidence
pointing two ways. The hard
tone of the comment on Mr.
Kennedy's speech pointed in
the direction Of a turn toward
China.
Earlier in the week there was
evidence, perhaps less precise
of a turn in another direction
Walter Upright, East German
Communist Party chief, was
given financial credits for his
hard-pressed country. Western
diplomats Immediately saw this
as indicating he had been given
this lift to soften a disappoint-
ment coming from another
source. They supposed that Mr..
Khrushchev had told him that
the decision on Berlin and
Germany would have to wait
awhile.
Diplomats predicted the Rus
slams will exploit what appears
to be an inconsistency in the
United States position. United
States spokesman at various
times say that American
armament is better than that
of the Soviet Union. Then
came assertions that In the
interests of national security
more testing Is necessary to per-
feet antimissile weapons.
At the same time, the Soviet
Union will minimize its own
testing last fall, as .Tass made
clear.
American testing is aggres-
sive, Soviet testing is defensive,
lass said in its open answer
to the Presidents speech.
VIM Make Speech
The field for more declara-
tons opens Monday when Mr..
Khrushchev will make an i'm
pcrtant opening speech before
the central committee of the
Communist Party.
Primarily he is scheduled to
talk about the agricultural
crisis, a strong motivating force
for the Soviet drive to cut its
arms spending. The more
money and material spent on
arms, the less is available for
undermechanized and underfi-
nanced Soviet agriculture.
