Red Chinese Smear 'Psalmist' Khrushchev
MOSCOW, —(UPI)— Communist China's attack on Premier Nikita Khrushchev as a "Bible-reading, Psalm-singing" buffoon may mean the Sino-Soviet dispute has reached the point of no return, western diplomats said today.
The attack, printed in Chinese Communist newspapers today, was unprecedented in bitterness and ridicule, and contained serious charges against Khrushchev's foreign policy as well as his personal demeanor.
"NO MATTER how much he may praise himself, he will not be able to cover up his dangerous practice of recklessly playing with nuclear weapons or fawning before imperialist nuclear blackmail," the 18.000 word Peking statement said.
This was a reference to the Soviet deployment of missiles to Cuba and the agreement to withdraw them under U.S. pressure in the fall of 1962.
THERE WAS no immediate Soviet reaction, but some observers expected the dispute to play an important part in the Soviet Communist Party's Central Committee meeting next month.
China's blast appeared to be direct defiance of Khrushchev's offer of a truce in the bitter ideological conflict.
There have been repeated reports here that another attempt might be made to bring Soviet and Chinese negotiators together to work out some settlement of the dispute. The last such talks ended in failure last summer. The increasingly vitriolic tone of the Chinese attacks made a new attempt also seem foredoomed to failure.
Diplomats said until such a meeting, indications were that the Soviets would stand by their policy of peaceful coexistence with the West, as outlined in a handbook of Soviet documents on the dispute issued yesterday.
THE HANDBOOK called Peking's positions "slanderous" and mistaken.
but it made no direct personal attacks on any of the Chinese leaders. Peking displayed no such reticence. It said, this of Yi.
ence. It said this of Khrushchev. Despite what he says, the U.S. imperialists are "the wildest militarists of modern times."
"IT IS thus clear that the U.S. imperialists have not become beautiful angels in spite of Khrushchev's Bible-reading and Psalm singing, they have not turned into compassionate Buddhas in spite of Khrushchev's prayers and incense-burning."
He is wrong to preach that peace can be reached through negotiations—this is "paralyzing the fighting will of the peoples."
By surrendering to imperialism, Khrushchev has become a "laughing stock."
HE HAS advocated alliance with the United States, against Peking.
He has "frequently boasted that they would use nuclear weapons to help the anti-imperialist struggle of one country or another. But has failed to do so."
Khrushchev is prone to conver on himself such titles as a great peace champion, award himself a Peace Prize, and pin hero's medals on himself.
THE CHINESE statement also claimed that Peking has worked to avert direct conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union.
