Suggested by Mao

MOSCOW. Mar. IS (AP).-
Communist China has invited
Premier Khrushchev to a sum-
NIT meeting in Peking to dis
cuss theological differences, the
Soviet news agency Tass re-
ported tonight.
The Chinese, in a letter to
the Soviet Communist Party
Central Committee. suggested
that Mr.. Khrushchev stop over
in Peking en- route to Cambodia.
Mr.. Khrushchev Is expected to
make a state visit to Carnbodia
this spring.
Mao Tze-tung, Red Chinese
leader, extended the invitation,
said q broadcast by radio Pek-
ing. There was no immediate
indication whether Mr.. Khru-
shchev has accepted.
Peking said the suggestion
was made by Mao at his meet
ing with Soviet Ambassador
Stephan Chervonenko In Pc
king February. %. At that
meeting Mao accepted Mr..
Khrushchev's proposals for
talks between the Chinese and
Soviet parties.
Alternatives Offered
'If this is not convenient for
you Mr. Khrushchev), the
Central Committee of the CPSU
Communist Party Of the Soviet
Union) can send to Peking 9
delegation headed by another
responsible comrAde. or we can
send a delegation to Moscow" !"
the Chinese Communist Partys
note. dated March 8, said.
Mr.. Khrushchev has been
calling for q halt to the open
wrangling between the two
Communist giants and has been
suggesting the two sides meet
privately TO settle their differ
ences.
Chief among those differences
is Mr.. Khrushchev's policy of
peaceful coexistence with the
West. The Chinese want to fol-
low a tougher line.
