Large and small, the signs of change are everywhere. So far, only Bulgaria has fully escaped the contagion of restiveness sweeping Khrushchev's once-docile satellites, symbolized by Rumanian Leader Gheorghiu-Dej and Yugoslav President Tito's collaboration in a giant power and navigation project inaugurated last week on the Danube River...
...worse in East-West relations, such long-term credits are a definite gamble. Yet Western businessmen are eager to take the risk to get a firm toe hold in the potentially enormous market in Russia and its European satellites. So far, one of the main attractions has been Nikita Khrushchev's seven-year program to spend $42 billion developing Russia's lagging chemical industry. Even the West German government is under considerable pressure from businessmen to yield to such commercial temptations.

That was perhaps what he hoped to talk about to Nikita Khrushchev when he started on a Black Sea vacation early this month. Near Yalta, two weeks ago, he suffered a stroke while visiting a Communist youth camp. Soviet doctors said he was too ill to be moved from the camp infirmary, and there last week...
