KhrushCheV
Warns West
Holiday Greeting
Cites Strength

MOSCOW, Jan. l (AP). -
Soviet Premier Khrushchev
rang in the New Year today
with a warning to the West
that it could be destroyed in
a few hours, but that the Soviet
Union prefers peaceful coexist-
ence.
The Soviet leader waved his
arms and gestured as he spoke
to a specially invited audience
at a midnight banquet in the
new Kremlin auditorium. He
had been drinking champagne
toasts and appeared to be in a
genial mood.
Elsewhere. millions of Rus
slams lifted vodka glasses on
the holiday, their minds appar-
emily far from politics and in
ternational affairs.
On feminist Road
But in a broadcast greeting
the party central committee anC
the government told the Sovie
masses they "are confidentl
advancing along the Leninis
road to their bright future
communism"
Mr.. Khrushchev said HI
didn't want to make "a New
Years threat" but that he wa:
giving the West "a realistic
warning" that it would be de-
stroyed in any nuclear war "un-
leashed by capitalism"
Then he insisted that the
Soviet Union prefers peaceful
coexistence. A nuclear war with
the West, he said, would simply
mean that millions of members
of the working class would be
killed.
After the banquet, Mr.. Khru-
shchev looked on approvingly
as the guests danced around a
decorated fir tree to the music
Of sedate fox trots.
In a message to Prime Min
lister Fidel Castro, Mr.. Khrush-
chev called settlement of the
Cuban criss a moral-politcal
victory for the Communist
camp.
Greeting to Kennedy
Without mentioning the
withdrawal of Soviet missiles
from Cuba, he said that the
United States had assumed a
commitment not to attack
Cuba and to restrain its allies
IN the western Hemisphere
from doing so.
Mr.. KhruShchev also sent a
New Years greeting to Presi-
dent Kennedy and his family
and the American people cx-
pressing hope that Soviet
American relations viii be
strengthened in 1868. The mes
sage also was signed by Presi-
dent Brezhnev.
New Years greetings also
went to Red Chinese leaders,
with whom Mr.. Khrushchev
has been feuding over their
contention that he is soft on

would allow "all those wanting

Private and commercial
flights to Cuba were banned
during the Cuban crisis. The
ban remains, although it was

Even so, planes which ar

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 2. -
The Sixth General Assembly
Of the National Council of
Churches today heard a noted
Protestant leader praise the
Second Vatican Council but
also warn that deep divisions
still exist between the Roman
Catholic and other churches.
DR.. w. A. Wiser t Hooft,
general secretary Of the World
Council Of Churches, declared
I'VE have reason to rejoice in
the fact that the Roman
Catholic Church Is now making
up its mind to give its own
contribution to the ecumenical
(co-operative) movement.
This confirms in a striking
way that the ecumenical queS-
ton Is in a very deep sense
an unacceptable question for all
Christian churches"
But the speaker insisted that
In spite of great progress, "our
Roman Catholic brethren and
we have still rather different
conceptions of what genuine
ecumenical dialogue really
means. I believe therefore that
what we need now most Of all
is a dialogue about the nature
Of the ecumenical dialogue"
DR.. Wiser t Hooft spoke at
the first business session Of
the assembly. Nearly 5000
delegates. accredited visitors,
consultants and observers from
81 Protestant denominations
are attending the week long
meeting. which began yester-
day and ends on Saturday.
