Renew Attack
On Khrushchev
Tokyo - (DPI) - Communist
China renewed its attack on
Premier Nikita S. Khrush
chev Saturday with a state
ment that only "scoundrel or
simpletons" believe there can
be anything except uncompro
mising class warfare against
capitalism in the world.
Saturday's attack on Khru
shchev, the third installment
of an eight-part, 100,000-word
Chinese Communist restate
ment of its hard line, was in
the guise of an attack on Ital
ian Communist parly leader
Palmiro Tiglialti.
It dismissed Togliatli and
"other comrades" with the
statement "There is nothing
new in their ideas." It said
they had become "bourgeois
socialism which Marx and
Engels so relentlessly reject
ed long ago."
The statement was pub
lished in the Red Flag maga
zine in Peking and broadcast
by Peking radio.
Another Break
Meanwhile, it was reported
In London Saturday that
Communist China has with
drawn its name from the
World Marxist Review in the
first open break with the

Communist movement.
The World Marxist Review,
also known as "Problems of
Peace and Socialism," is the
official Communist ideologi
cal organ and is a remnant of
the former Cominform, the
ideological platform of inter
national Communism. It is
printed in Prague and serves
as a forum for Communist is

Foster Challenges USSR
To Prove Detection Claim
New York - tUPD - U.S. Dis
armament negotiator William
C. Foster, returning from the
deadlocked Geneva test-ban
talks, said Saturday he chal
lenged the Soviet Union to
prove it can detect nuclear ex
plosions without any on-site
instruments.
"I told them yesterday I'd
like to have a list of all the
(underground) tests we've
had, because I believe we've
had some tests they didn't de
tect," he said with a smile.
The Russians "with the fac
ulty lor brushing off ques
tions that don't please them,
didn't answer," Foster said.
To Set JFK
Foster arrived at Idlcwild
International Airport en
route to report to President
Kennedy h i s "disappoint
ment" at the Russian refusal
to talk about anything except
the number of on-site inspec
tion locations needed.
Still, he said, the new 17
nation negotiations have been
"a very useful exercise" in
impressing the non-aligned
nations with the necessity of
discussing other problems be
sides numbers.
After four years of nego
tiating, the Russians, who
originally said they would not
agree to any on-site Inspec
tions, have agreed to three a

reduced its demands from 110
to seven.

"We want a properly safe

to insist on it," Foster said.
Two-Sided Game
"This has to be a two-sided
game, and if, as Mr. (Semyon
K.) Tsarapkin and Mr. Khru
shchev have stated, they are
not going to move from their
position, then we won t have
an agreement and this is very
disappointing," he added.
Foster flew directly to
Washington from here. He
said he would be available
for consultations with Presi
dent Kennedy at any time.
He has no plans to return
to Geneva, he said, but other
U.S. negotiators will continue
