Soviet Union, Red China Approaching Showdown Stage Over Nikita Khrushchev's Policy
By PHIL NEWSOM

As the Soviet Union and Red
China have approached the show-;
down stage in their dispute over
Nikita Khrushchev's policy of co
existence vs. the Chinese hard
line, both have sent emissaries
throughout the world
support.
Khrushchev lost the support of
Ho Chi Minh of North Viet Nam
but won Outer Mongolia. Similar
ly, he won the support of Fidel
Castro but lost the Communist
party of Indonesia, largest out
side the Communist bloc.
With less to begin with. Red
China seems to have made the
great gains.
Most of the Asian Communist
parties have lined up on her side
and a majority of Communist
parties throughout the world at
east have Chinese actions.
No Accident
So, it hardly could have been
by accident that Khrushchev,
when he decided to help East
German strongman Walter 111
bricht observe his 70th birthday
in East Berlin this week, also de
cided to invite along the leaders
of Communist Poland. Romania,
Hungary, Bulgaria and Czecho
slovakia. Perhaps significantly, Roman
ian President Gheorghe
Gheorgiu-Dej did not answer the
summons, limiting himself in
stead to a message of congratu-
seeking lations to Ulbricht.
For Khrushchev, when he re
laxed the harsh dictates of Sta
linism, not only incurred the en
mity of the Red Chinese, he
touched off an unexpected show
of independence among the So
viet Union's East European sat
ellites. With the exception of Albania,
all support his de - Stalinization
program. But other differences
present a picture which is far
from the united front sought by
Khrushchev.
Snubs Russia
Romania, showing an unexpect
ed economic vitality and an un
expected independence, recently
thumbed its nose at the Soviet
leader by sending an ambassa
dor to Albania and signing an
economic agreement with Red
China.

Picture Clouded
Differences between Romania
and Russia and the rest of the
European Red camp have cloud
ed the relationship behind the
Iron Curtain in recent months.
But in the light of Romania's
demonstrative absence from the
Red summit they appear to go
deeper than has been realized so
far outside the Iron Curtain.
Romania is experiencing an ec-
onomic boom, unique among the
satellites. Aware of its rich eco
nomic resources, since Russia
stopped milking it dry, Romania
has embarked on a policy of all
out industrial development.
The pursuit of this policy has
brought Romania into conflict
with its Communist allies who
are enforcing 3 policy of eeo
nomic coordination of planning
within Comecon, the alignment of
the Communist countries for
closer economic cooperation.
Complying with tins policy
would mean curbing Romania's
industrial push and dropping vari
ous ambitious plans for develop
ing the country s own industries,
in favor of socialist specializa
tion." Romania has been paying
lip service to this policy but has
been dragging her feet 111 putting
it into practice.
Others, like Poland, Czechoslo
vakia and East Germany all
industrialized want other mem
bers to confine themselves to less
ambitious tasks and leave them
