In time, just a summer has elapsed. But measured in ex perience, young Head has gone and done things which would have taken his ancestors more seasons than he is years old, if they had been able to do them at all. In one capsule, so to speak, he digested eight weeks of work in a bank in Istanbul, Turkey, and four weeks and one day of touring Europe. fatnrninff in the cam- DC1U1C I ...... . o - pus he had visited Topakapi ..: hnma nf th Sultan and the seat of government for the Ottoman Empire, uie buiim Alexander the Great, and the Acropolis, where he attended the "Sound and Light" perfer mance. Boat Up Golden Horn He had taken the boat up the Golden Horn to Eyup and had found that even In these far away lands, steeped in ancient history, there are people who have been told that "Oregon is Cod's Country." It will be no surprise if while he is delving into stuaies in pu. suit of his goal of certified pub Knowing ?- fields, Head wrote his parents u hi siav at Istanbul: "Yesterday there was much excitment around the bank.

In this dis patch United Press Interna tionals' chief European diplo matic correspondent, the report er who first brought the Sino Sovict split to world attention, provides an up-to-date assess ment of this historic conflict.).. By K. C. THALER United Press International LONDON (UPI) - Involved in the increasingly angry word battle between the Soviet Union and Communist China is a struggle for leadership that could swing the power balance of the world. Its eventual Impact on the fu ture of mankind cannot yet be calculated. At stake for the' world as whole is (he momentous issue of whether world Communist dom ination is to be sought only by a peaceful means or by any meth od Including nuclear war. For Communism Itself, the issue is the direction it is to take and whether the leadership is to come from Moscow or Peking The battle between the two Red giants began as a squabble over interpretation ot Marxist Leninist ideology. In the sim plest of terms, China argues that to build an all-Communist world, any means including nu clear war justifies the aim. The Kremlin, under Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev, argues that Communism can win the world without war, by "bury ing" capitalism under the sheer weight of Communist achieve ment politically, propagandist ically, and economically. This is the heart of Khru shchev's "peaceful co-existence" policy which China rejects. From this ideological begin ning, the conflict between the two Red powers has developed into a political contest in which each side now seeks the ascend ancy and control of the world Communist movement. Experts are agreed that the struggle has gotten out of hand. They don't dare guess where it will lead. On the Soviet side Khrushchev, nervous at Peking's challenge, Is seeking to close Communist ranks against Red China and its leader Mao Tsc-tung, to retain the leadership of Communism ln the hands of the Kremlin where it has always been since the Bolshevik revolution. Mao wants to get rid of Khru shchev and his government and return the Kremlin to the poli cies of the Stalin era: or, alter natively, seize the ovortordship of Communism from Moscow and establish It In Peking. An immediate result has been to throw Communism's rank , I,- t i Hllll IIIU MIIU IIJNIUMUII, WMICn threatens the fabric of the Com munist European satellites on the one hand, and the future cohesion of Communist parties in the western and developing I of cswrcie questions of eco- 57 even though it did not become public until early 1960. China's nuclear ambitions are a key factor. Red China originally saw dos- session of nuclear weapons as vital for furthering Communist revolutionary action all over thp world in Africa, Asia and Latin America. She was willine to ac cept Soviet sole ownership of the nuciear oomo in tbe Red camp so long as it looked as if its pos session would be used to push an aggressive communist policy throughout the world and sneprl China's own moves toward world power status. But Russia, worried about nu clear war, decided to retain the monopoly of Communist nuclear power. She seems also to have been prompted by fears of grow ing Chinese might. The Chinese now claim openly that Russia promised to help them with the atom bomb in an agreement dated Oct. 15, 1957, and to give them a "sample." But Russia broke this agree ment in June, 1959, after an alleged secret deal with then President Eisenhower on a nn. clear east-west stalemate, Pe king now charges. Since then Peking has moved heaven and earth to prevent a Russo - American understanding with the fear it would leave Red China out in the cold and delay her drive toward active world power, possibly indefinitely. This is one reason why Peking denounced the recent three power nuclear test ban agree ment as a "fraud" and as a So viet betrayal of hers and of the Communist cause. Peking is now out to deepen the rift within the Communist camp and to win support among international Communist move ments in an effort to wrest the leadership from Moscow. Indications are that a recon ciliation of the two Communist giants, if possible at all, could happen only if the Soviets ac cepted two monumental condi tions demanded by China re moval of Khrushchev from the Kremlin and return to hard Stalin-like policies. China also has issued a char ter of 25 major policy points whose acceptance it demands from Russia as a price for the re-alignment of the Red camp. It challenges Khrushchev's pol icy of peaceful co-existence, calls for forceful backing of revolutionary movements world wide and the condemnation of Titoist "revisionism." None of these conditions is acceptable to Russia. Khrushchev, in fact, has not only now given Tito his bless ing but has opened the gates for "revisionist" developments in other satellite countries. This is what he said in Yugoslavia: "Wo Communists believe that the building of socialism in each country should be necessarily led by the basic laws and ere,-!.; principles of Marxlsf-f.winism. As for approarhng tho solulion countries on the other. Already Khrushchev until now the accepted choice of the majority of international Com munism's followers has had to make concessions to appease his following. While Moscow is out to por truy Red China as a warlike na tion ready to risk world destruc tion by nuclear war, Peking ; paints Khrushchev as a traitor to the cause. So the smokescreen of simple Ideological dispute has been en tirely lifted and the ever more violent Peking -Moscow ex changes have revealed that the split actually dates back to 1956- numic and cultural development, it is the place of each nation to give its particular specific course." Elaborating on this from Peking's viewpoint near-heretical statement, he conceded pub licly that there can be differ ences among Communists, even on principles. Already East European na tions are quietly practising dif ferent brands of Communism. Poland has not nationalized her agriculture. Rumania is resist ing 'economic alignment with other Communist countries that would deprive her of an inde pendent policy.
