Moscow, Peking Break Discounted
WASHINGTON — (UPI)—American authorities today discounted speculation that Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev might hold a summit meeting of Communist leaders to read the troublesome Chinese Reds out of the world body.
Despite the bitterness of Peking's latest attack on Khrushchev, most Soviet affairs experts here thought it unlikely the Russian leader would be lured into a formal break which might damage his position rather than improve it.
Khrushchev's current visit to Hungary, as well as the gathering of Communist leaders in Moscow April 17 to celebrate his 70th birthday, will be watched closely for some clues as to his intentions.
The Chinese Communist Party, in 30,000-word attack yesterday, called on Russians and other Communists to discard Khrushchev as their leader.
THE EXPECTATION IS that Khrushev will use both occasions to try to solidify support for his "peaceful coexistence" policy, which the militant Chinese Reds claim is nothing but "capitalization" to the capitalistic West.
Some analysts thought the Chinese Reds might be trying to goad Khrushchev into formally breaking relations, which Peking might exploit in its effort to gain leadership of the world Communist movement.
The majority opinion here, however, was that the wily Soviet leader would not fall into such a trap.
IT IS EXPECTED that Khrushchev will continue the ideological debate, counting on time and the trend of events to vindicate his position. It was difficult to see what he
could gain by forcing an open break in the international movement.
Some of the Red parties in backward nations, although still acknowledging Russia's leadership of world communism, are impressed by China's more extreme policy, which Peking contends is the only effective road to success.
NSF Funds Award KU Total of $44,200
In the event of a formal or final break between Moscow and Peking, some of them might well decide to cast their lot with Peking.
A total of $44,200 in research funds from the National Science Foundation has been awarded to KU faculty members for studies in physics, mathematics and geology.
Richard C. Sapp, associate professor of physics, has received a continuation grant of $27,400 for research on "Magnetism and Nuclear Orientation at Low Temperatures."
Prof. Sapp's research in nuclear alignment concerns analyzing methods by which radioactive nuclei in crystals, cooled magnetically to almost absolute zero, can be forced to line up parallel to each other. The goal is to obtain new information on the properties of nuclei.
Wakefield Dort, professor of geology, has received $4,800 to study the "Development and Distribution of Antarctic Cirques." A cirque is a
Prof. Dort hopes to determine, through the study of aerial photographs, more about the development of antarctic glaciers. The study may provide information about changes in the climate of the antarctic. Dr. Dort has done previous research in this field on the northern Rocky Mountains.
scoped out area in the high mountains which acts as a source of mountain glaciers.
Charles J. Himmelberg, assistant professor of mathematics, received
$3,200 for work on "Theory of Retracts." Prof. Himmelberg will do a theoretical study on characteristic properties of absolute retracts—abstract geometric configurations which have many of the properties of convex sets. They are the object of considerable study in the area of mathematics called topology.
George Springer, professor of mathematics, and S. M. Shah, visiting professor of mathematics received $8,800 for research on "Theory of Functions of a Complex Variable."
