New MiIitoncy
Marks Policy

The breakdown of the nu-
clear test ban talks in January
was followed by a militant
phase of Soviet policy that last
ed the rest of the winter. Liber-
ais were attacked at home,
NATO was accused Of plotting
the invasion of Russia, conSer-
vative economists regained their
voices and a campaign against
intellectuals was in full swing.
Many experts believe MIR.
Khrushchev, unable to show
any concrete results from the
test ban talks. had to agree
with his critics that the West
was trying to gain at Russia's
expense.
For nearly five months there
was international quiet as Mr..
Khrushchev battled at home
for his domestic program and
Red China became more stri-
dent in its dispute over the
nature of the Communist
movement.
This winter of discomfort"
In Moscow, say the Kremlin ex-
perts, almost saw Mr.. Kozlov
replace Mr.. Khrushehev in
February.
But at the end Of April, Mr..
Kozlov had a Gripping heart
attack and Mr.. Khrushchev re-
asserted his power.
The main reason given for
Mr.. KhruShchev's success in
Tending off his critics, Is that
after a 1867 attempt to displace
him, he had built up the party
apparatus and Presidium with
enough of "hls men" to insure
a majority would support him.
With the passing of Mr.. Koz-
low from the scene, structures
against intellectual freedom
were relaxed, contacts with the
West were renewed, and steps
were taken to reduce the size
of the army.
Mr.. Kozlov's Interpretation
conceded with the obvious in
ability Of Soviet and Chinese
officials to tone down their
wide ranging dispute. The
Chinese apparently believed
that by stepping UP their at
-tacks on the Russian leaders
they could force Mr.. Khru-
shchev from office.
But after Mr.. Kozlov's illness,
the increased pressure from
Peking only served to unite the
Soviet leadership behind Mr..
Khrushchev. The Moscow hier-
archy has always been first Of
all nationalistic, and only Sec
ondly, interested in theological
questions.
The debate with the Chinese
is considered a factor in con-
vincing Mr.. Khrushchev that

WHITE HOUSE GREETS COLLEENS
KENNEDY'S PROMISE REDEEMED,

Two dark haired Irish coleens took President Ken

who come to the United States.
The girls on q three-week vacation in America

told policeman they had to the President in
response to the promise he had made in the streets Of
Dublin, their home town.
To their surprise they said later they we're soon

They didn't get to see the President but they came

Red China Threat
Is Not Expected

And what will Red China do?
Without going into the pos
sible opportunities that the
Russia China split may offer
the United States or the dan
gers it poses for both the Unit
ed States and Russia, it can be
said that once again most of
the experts agree:
Red China probably win not
be a major military threat for
another decade.
The Chinese economy is in
a pitiable state, and the job Of
building a significant. nuclear
force and an Army that can
sustain large invasionS is i'm
mense.
Today the Chinese probably
cannot launch or supply a
major attack anywhere on It's
borders except. possibly in
Korea. Russia could handle the
Chinese easily; the United
States and South Korea have
the Korean escape route block
ed; Southeast and Southern
Asia are arming and are shell
tered under the American
military umbrella.
China has not yet exploded
a nuclear device, much less
made a weapon, built a rocket
or a bomber to carry one, or
built a strategic force able to
menace Russia or the United
States.
China can be a great trouble
maker even now, but not a fear
full threat.
When, If ever, will peace
really come?
No one Is predicting q date.
AS one policy planner put it:
THE end Of the cold war
will be in sight the day we in
sist that seven one-site in
spections are necessary for some

atomic club"
He often has indicated fear
that West Germany would be-
come an atomic power, and
now the Chinese attacks on his
policy of peaceful co-exist-
ence" seemed to make him q
bit more willing to do something
in an attempt to halt the spread
Of nuclear weapons.
The test ban agreement, Of
course, does not immediately
accomplish this, France which
has tested nuclear devices, and
China. which is expected to,
remain non-signers. But the
partial agreement by the three
major nuclear powers is q step
where previously there was only
talk.

Prestige Needed
To Be Restored

Before he could respond to
Mr.. Kennedy, Mr.. Khrushchev
had to restore his prestige at
nome. The United States
waited while confusion behind
the Kremlin's wall went on.
Mr.. Khrushchev did not rule
and does not rule-his coun-
try without opposition. There
are various pressureS and pres
sure groups operating on him
all the time. There are younger
men pushing for power con-
stantly, and In a government
where free elections are ruled
out, intrigueS are way Of life.
1t took considerable political
skill, a vicious fight with the
Red Chinese, and Frol Kozlov's
heart attack to restore Mr..
Khrushchev's undisputed con"
troll.
A major domestic test came
in mid-November at a Central
Committee meeting devoted to
economics. He called for a re-
organization of the monolithic
Communist Party that would,
in effect, create agricultural"
and industrial" subparties.
Mr.. KhruShchev's plan was
approved, but not by all mem
bers of the 12-man ruling Pre-
sidium. In particular, Mr.. Koz-
Low, second in command Of the
country and chief of the party
organization, did not speak in
favor of the proposal.
At this meeting Mr.. Khru-
shchev avoided discussing Cuba
in public. He noted the sorry
condition of the economy and
pleaded with party officials to
put economy before politics"
In the esoteric language of
communism, this was q depar-
ture from normal practice, and
most likely irritated many vet
eran Communist leaders-in-
GLIDING Mr.. Kozlov.
He also reaffirmed his goal
of undermining" the economy
and stressed his plans for the
chemical industry at the ex-
pense Of the traditional steel
and other heavy metals. Chem
icals, he said, would mean fer
tilizers, consumer goods, tex
tiles, plastics, and metal substi-
tutes at lower costs.
This radical" plan also
pushed him into direct conflict
with one of the heaviest pres
sure groups in Soviet society
the Russian equivalent Of the
American military industrial
complex.
Steel has been the byword Of
Soviet propagandists and eco
nomic managers for so many
years that many Of them prob
ably felt Mr.. Khrushchev was
forgetting the formula that had
made Russia a leading indus
trial power.
The lack of enthusiasm for
his anti-traditional programs
warned Mr.. KhruShchev he
could be the victim Of a palace
coup. BY the time the Supreme
Soviet, the leading government
tai body, met in December, Mr..
Khrushchev seemed to some
experts to be treading ex-
tremely cautiously.
On December IL, he gave a
long speech on foreign policy
to the Supreme Soviet. Most Of

Dilemma Faced
By KhrushcheV

This, then, was his dilemma.
He needed a calm atmosphere
to heal his economic wounds,
reorganize his party structure,
reduce the size Of his army,
and rebuild Soviet political
prestige.
Yet, If he seemed too anx-
ious, he feared his opponents
might jump on him for being
cowardly, and over-concilia-
tory.
And so, in this cautious
manner, he decided to make an
effort for a nuclear test ban
agreement. This was one area
the United States had shown
persistent interest, and Mr..
Khrushchev could tell his
critics that his proposals were
in response to Mr.. Kennedy's
initiative after Cuba.
Periodic negotiations on
banning nuclear tests had
gotten nowhere because of So
Wet refusal to allow on-site
inspections of suspected under
ground explosions and Amer
ica's refusal to accept a COM
plete treaty without inspec-
ton.
Now, Mr.. Khrushchev told
the Supreme Soviet that lin
the course of exchange Of views
on the banning Of nuclear
tests, ways of solving the ques-
ton have emerged" He ap-
parently elaborated in private
session, and on December 10,
he wrote President Kennedy
suggesting new proposals for
breaking the deadlock.
Mr.. Khrushchev later told
an American visitor he had
great difficulty getting the
PreSidium of the Supreme So
Wet to approve the new pro-
posals. They included q provi-
sion for two to four on-site
inspections a year, less than
the number sought by the
West, but an infringement"
of Soviet sovereignty in the
minds of many hardened Com
munistS.
This American reported that
Mr.. Khrushchev said many
advisers warned him: IF you
offer three, they'll demand
more, until they have espio-
mage agents all over the coun-
try"
Coming at a time when he
was wary Of appearing overly
conciliatory to the West. Mr..
Khrushchev apparently agreed
to stick to two to four as a
maximum offer.
Mr.. Khrushchev said he was
led to believe the United States
would accept this small number
of inspections as a result OF
talks held at the United Nations
by United States disarmament
Ambassador Arthur Dean and
Soviet First Deputy Premier
Kuznetsov in the end of Octo-
Der, at the time Of Cuba.

misunderstanding developed.
The United States looked upon
the two to four offer as a mini
NAL bargaining move by the
Russians that could be raised
in discussions. The Russians saw
it as a maximum political con-
cession to win the support Of
the United States.
Because Of the Vests de-
mands for at least seven on
site inspections, and Soviet re-
fusal to discuss any other test
ban issues until quota of in
spections had been agreed upon,
the test ban negotiations got
nowhere until the proposals for
banning underground tests were
dropped.

it was devoted to a defense Of

other heirs for 20 years and in
1852, bought the place. The en-
thusiasm for farming that is
shared by Mr.. and Mrs. Guthrie
is best told in their own words:
"The improvements in the home,
from oil lamps to electric lights,
from coal stove to electric range,
from pumping water by hand to
running water, from wash board
to washer, sanitary bathroom and
endless other comforts added over
the years leaves one with apprecia-
ton and satisfaction for having
lived and worked on a farm.
Farming for Better Living is a
program that is sponsored on the
top level by Monongahela Power
Company and the Cooperative Ex-
tension Service of West Virginia
University. On the county level
groups of business and civic
leaders direct and sponsor the
program. 1t is designed to bring
the farmer and the business man
closer together in understanding
and to dramatic the good farm
ing practices advocated by farm
specialists.
The program is now in its 23rd
year with "a counties in West Vir-
ginia and one county in Maryland,
Garrett, participating.
The Guthries are the first farm
family from Monongalia county to
be selected as Sweepstakes win
ners. Lewis county leads the list
with three Sweepstakes winners.
Garrett County has had two sweep
