Before it could be withdrawn, the U.S. last week latched onto the U.S.S.R.'s tentative acceptance of President Eisenhower's offer of joint technical studies on the feasibility of stopping nuclear tests. President Eisenhower sped off a "Dear Mr. Chairman" letter to the Kremlin's Khrushchev, proposed that delegations of Western and Communist scientists meet in Geneva next month to discuss ways and means of detecting nuclear explosions. The scientists should aim for an initial progress report in 30 days, a final report in 60 days, wrote Ike, and the U.S. and U.S.S.R. should keep...
...world scene, tends to create a demand for freedom both at home and in the satellites, and the Communist Party cannot keep appeasing the demand without jeopardizing its rule. Furthermore, the Soviet policy of economic aid to non-Communist nations has not led swiftly to the political conquests the Kremlin seeks (it is noteworthy that Nasser returned to Egypt full of Russian propaganda backing but saying nothing about getting any rubles).

At a huge farewell meeting for Nasser in the Kremlin, Nikita Khrushchev also boasted that with the launching of the new 1½-ton Sputnik III (see SCIENCE), the Soviet Union had again "outstripped the U.S." Amid shouts of post-toasty laughter, he ridiculed the U.S. space satellites as apelsin-sputniks -orange-sized Sputniks. "By all the rules of arithmetic," he crowed...
...there was any doubt in anybody's mind that the great Kremlin apparat has ganged up to brand Tito once again as a dangerous heretic, that doubt vanished last week. The Chinese Communists, last to speak, piled in, throwing the roughest punches aimed at Tito since Stalin's Cominform war of 1948. Yugoslavia's latest program for "separate roads to socialism," said Peking's People's Daily, is "out-and-out revisionism"-a Communist dirty word for any deviation from Moscow's line-and "viciously slanders the socialist camp." Its "evolutionary views," said...
