Moscow Radio broadcasts and the Soviet press have stepped up publicity for the gathering in the past few days. The Congress is organized by the World Peace Council, generally considered a Com munist front organization. The advance build-up sug gests the Kremlin intends to use the gathering as a plat form for a mighty propagan- a campaign in support of Soviet disarmament strategy that would put the blame for the recent failure of the Ge neva arms-cut negotiations on the United States.

Box 352, Klamath Falls. been spotlighted by a major rumpus in the British Labor party which has threatened to expel some of its promi nent members for association with the Moscow rally. Those affected include Bert- rand Russell, of anti-nuclear fame. Resolutions were under stood already in preparation in Moscow denouncing the "forces who are economically and politically interested in the arms race" - implying western reluctance to disarm. This line fits in with Pre mier Nikita Khrushchev's personal charges that Amer ican feet-dragging on disarm ament is largely responsible for the food price increase in Russia. Khrushchev has renewed his charges in a speech during his current visit of Romania. He Is in fact now blaming the United States for Russia's general economic troubles. May Reveal Relationship The Moscow congress may however produce some un. scheduled results. It may re veal incidentally the present status of the Sino-Soviet rela tionship. It was at a similar "peace congress" in Stockholm last year that the Communist Chi nese launc'ied an unexpected attack on their Soviet allies, Bitter exchanges spotlighted the sharp antagonism over ideological differences be tween Moscow and Peiping. There is no firm indication thus far whether the Com munist Chinese will send rep resentatives the rally in Moscow. Their presence and their pronouncements may provide an up to date clue as to what is going on between Russia and Red China at present. Both have kept a studied si lence recently. However, in dications reaching here through reliable channels have suggested that the dif ferences remain as deep as ever, but are not debated be caluse either side is pre-occu- pied, with more pressing wor ries nearer home.
