Nikita's Old Enemy Is Now Strong Ally
By Phil Newsom UPI Foreign News Analyst
In Nikita Khrushchev's dispute with Red China, one of his strongest supporters has been Polish Communist party leader Wladislaw Gomulka.
And now in their just-concluded meeting climaxed by a wild boar hunt in Poland's Masurian Lakes district north of Warsaw, it appears that Gomulka may be emerging as at least a part-time spokesman for Khrushchev's various cold war peace
Today's cordial relations between the two were not always so.
It was on Oct. 19, 1956, that an angry Khrushchev arrived in Warsaw.
BEHIND were the anti-Soviet riots of Poznan. Still ahead was the anti-Soviet revolt in Hungary.
The Poznan riots and other demonstrations sweeping Poland forced the government to relax its iron rule and to a shakeup in the Communist party's ruling Politburo. It also led to the return to power of Gomulka who in 1951 had been jailed as a Titoist and national deviantism.
Khrushchev called Gomulka a "traitor" and accused him of wanting "to sell the country to the Americans and the Zionists" after Soviet troops had shed their blood there.
Khrushchev demanded both a reinstatement of the old Polish Politburo and a slowdown in Polish Democratization. And he backed his ultimatum with the threat of troops even then reported moving on Warsaw.
GOMULKA and his supporters defied the Russians and got away with it.
From the names of those reported taking part in the most recent Khrushchev-Gomulka conference, it is logical to suppose that particular attention was paid to recent proposals of both men toward East-West agreement.
Khrushchev's call for an international pact banning use of force to alter frontiers would be of special interest to Poland whose western border with West Germany remains unsettled.
Of special interest to Khrushchev would be Gomulka's proposal to freeze nuclear weapons in Central Europe at their present level. Such a proposal would bar nuclear arms to West Germany.

Dean's Book Receives Award
A book by Joseph W. McGuire, dean of the KU School of Business has been honored as one of the five best books about business published in 1963.
The book, "Business and Society," won one of five MacKenzie awards announced at the annual meeting of the Academy of Management in Boston, Mass., last week. The books were chosen by a panel of businessmen and academic experts.
Published last spring by McGraw-Hill, "Business and Society" explores the relationships between business firms and individuals in society.
has lectured throughout Europe and America, and has published and edited many works in his field. He has been head of the department of German in King's College since 1937 and has been director since 1956 of the Institute of Germanic Studies.
"IN MY LECTURE at Kansas," Prof. Norman wrote, "I will deal with the difficulties we have when trying to understand a totally strange civilization, and the way our judgment can be warped if we do not understand the life of the Middle Ages, the religious and social habits, and the other major influences."
During his two-day visit to the KU campus, he will speak to several classes in German literature and will confer with graduate students and faculty members in German. At 4 p.m. Thursday he will speak at a forum arranged by Student Union Activities; his topic will be "Germanic Heroic Literature." This program, open to everybody interested, will be in the Big Eight Room of Kansas Union.
"Professor Norman is not on a tour," explained Prof. Elmer F. Beth, chairman of the Humanities Committee. "He is making a special trip to Kansas, and we are very pleased to be helped by this widely-recognized scholar in a special field that is unusual, difficult, and colorful."
PROF. NORMAN is on the editorial boards of several publications: Anglia, Germanistik, Euphorion, and Slavonic and East European Review. With Prof. Hugh Smith, he is general editor of Methuen's Old English Library and of London Mediaeval Studies.
His scholarly special field is Germanic heroice literature with special reference to early English literature, and heroic literature of the Huns and of European nations. He is working on a complete commentary of Wolfram eschienbach; with two colleagues, he is producing an edition of the Yiddish poem, "Duchus Horant."
NEXT MARCH he will lecture at Free University of West Berlin. In the United States, he has lectured at Cornell, Princeton, Chicago, Northwestern, and Texas.
He was born in 1897, received the M.A. at University of London, and has been teaching there since 1922.

IN RETURN, Tonahill said, be expected copies of the FBI and Warren Commission reports to be used in the defense of Ruby. The lawyer said he would go into federal court, if necessary, to get the reports.
Ruby, 52, dashed before national television cameras Nov. 24 and shot Lee Harvey Oswald, accused of slaying Kennedy. Murder with malice charges were filed against Ruby when Oswald died a short while later at Parkland Hospital, the same place where President Kennedy was pronounced dead two days earlier.
