...Indian Communist Party, which like the Japanese was silent during the Party Congress, is more openly split: five members of the party's 25-member central executive committee favor Peking (the center of such sentiment is West Bengal), although General Secretary Ajoy Ghosh is a Khrushchev disciple, and accuses Red China of antagonizing the Indian masses by fomenting border incidents. The freeze in Sino-Indian relations was reflected this week in New Delhi, where the Russians opened a glittering pavilion at an international industrial fair, while the Chinese boycotted the event...
...recent Communist Party Congress in Moscow, old-line Cuban Communist Blas Roca "resolutely supported" Khrushchev's blast at Albania, grinned while Fellow Delegate Rita Diaz ran down the aisle in her militiawoman's regalia, presented Khrushchev with a Cuban flag. Yet the same issue of the Cuban government organ Revolución that plastered Khrushchev's attack across more than two pages also printed Peking Delegate Chou En-lai's rejoinder in full...
...display accurately reflected current internal political tension in Cuba. For while Fidel Castro proclaims himself a loyal disciple of Lenin, and dispatches 3,000 Cuban agricultural students to Soviet state farms rather than Chinese communes, Cuban anti-U.S. propaganda sounds more like Peking than Moscow, has never used Khrushchev's slogan of "peaceful coexistence."

Brazilian Communists made their choice five years ago, when Khrushchev launched his destalinization campaign. Veteran Party Boss Luis Carlos Prestes quickly climbed aboard, while a handful of other top leaders refused, were expelled, and openly joined forces with Peking.

Last week, after the 22nd Party Congress renewed the controversy, the pressure for public discussion was stronger than ever. Meanwhile, a second species...
...chimes in the Spassky tower atop a Kremlin gate struck 10 as Nikita Khrushchev, his party leaders and foreign guests filed up the steps to the top of the tomb. Last of all came 80-year-old Kliment Voroshilov, who had publicly apologized for his "antiparty" misdeeds and apparently assumed all was forgiven. An armed guard barred his way. Voroshilov made a second attempt to join his old comrades through a side door of the Mausoleum and was ejected by a plainclothesman. He then stood pathetically beside a white-smocked woman selling ice cream and watched somberly as Defense Minister...
