FROM Moscow last week came an outpouring of praise for a former President of the U.S.: on the 80th anniversary of Franklin D. Roosevelt's birth, both Pravda and Izvestia ran memorial articles hailing F.D.R. as the champion of Soviet-American understanding and cooperation. Khrushchev dispatched a warm message to Roosevelt's widow, praising F.D.R. for "his efforts on behalf of Soviet-American friendship." A Russian delegation appeared at Hyde Park to lay a wreath on F.D.R.'s grave, and Nina Khrushchev joined U.S. Ambassador Llewellyn Thompson and 250 Russians at a Moscow memorial ceremony dominated...
...external threat and power of Communism. Sometimes he overrates the Reds: to read or hear Schwarz, the Communists have never suffered a setback in their march toward world domination; the free world has never scored the slightest cold war success. Communism is a monolith without internal dissension. Nikita Khrushchev, while describing Stalin as a sadistic, megalomaniacal murderer, in his famous January 6, 1961 speech, was by Communist standards of virtue commending his old boss, not condemning him. Today, there is no such thing as an ideological split between Moscow and Peking; the notion that there is, says Schwarz, is "just...
While the world's Communist parties continued to take sides between Moscow and Peking (see following story), the Russians stepped up their attacks on Vyacheslav Molotov, who has become the symbol of the implacable Stalinist-Chinese policy that Nikita Khrushchev now fights as treason to Marxism.

...Peking meanwhile, pictures of Albania's Enver Hoxha, who is the other symbol of the Stalinist-Chinese line, appeared on posters all over the city. Billboards proclaimed "eternal friendship" for "heroic Albania," the country that Khrushchev seeks to put beyond the pale of decent Marxist society. Alluding to Son-in-Law Aleksei Adzhubei's Washington visit, the Red Chinese press implied that members of Khrushchev's own family were consorting with criminals-the "gangsterlike and reactionary" Kennedys...
Farm Failures. As part of this Russian-Chinese cold war within a cold war, two simultaneous meetings were in preparation. In Peking's "Great Hall of the People," more than 1,100 delegates to the National People"s Congress will convene on March 5. Hardly by coincidence, Khrushchev called a Kremlin meeting of the Soviet Communist Party's Central Committee for the same date, ostensibly to discuss Soviet agriculture. In fact, a main topic, acknowledged or not, will be the Mao-Khrushchev rift and what to do about it. But the agricultural problem on the agenda is more...
