...Line-Up. For the first time, Western correspondents in Moscow were permitted to refer openly in their dispatches to the Russian-Chinese quarrel, were even allowed to quote "well-informed" sources on the line-up of forces within the Red summit meeting. When hollow-cheeked Liu Shao-chi, Red China's titular head of state, delivered a scathing four-hour denunciation of Khrushchev's policy, the varied reactions in his audience clearly revealed the true quality of the dispute between Peking and Moscow. Outwardly an ideological quarrel, it is in fact a fight for power between Russia...
...stepped from the Soviet jetliner at Vnukovo, Chairman Liu raised his arms in salute to Chairman Khrushchev. But on the eve of Liu's departure, Peking had seized on the pretext of the publication of a fourth volume of Mao Tse-tung's selected works to print an "introduction"' by General Fu Chung, in which the general pointedly quoted old Mao dicta on war and peace and, inferentially, challenged Khrushchev's favorite doctrine of peaceful coexistence. "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun," quoted Fu. "Politics is war that sheds no blood while...
...Peace Is Inevitable." An icy drizzle fell next morning as Chairman Liu stood beside Khrushchev and Soviet War Minister Rodion Malinovsky atop the Lenin-Stalin tomb to review the traditional parade through Red Square. The military parade lasted eight minutes, just long enough to flaunt a thumping train of Russian rockets, including a slim newcomer called the Silver Needle, which the Soviet press claimed was the kind that downed U.S. Pilot Francis Powers' U-2 last spring...
Leadership Is Indivisible. Then Khrushchev set his glass down and led Liu and 46 other Communist chieftains up the stairs to the Kremlin's green-tiled Winter Garden Room to open his "Red summit'' meeting. He had tried in vain to arrange a compromise at the Bucharest meeting last June. He had gone to lengths that flabbergasted Westerners, Afro-Asians and apparently even his own comrades at the U.N. to show that he could comport himself as militantly as any Peking proponent of revolutionary violence. Now, presumably convinced that anything but peaceful coexistence is suicidal for Soviet...
...paper had been drafted, and it was unlikely that Liu had gone to Moscow except to sign it. Yet whatever the words that papered over the rift between Moscow and Peking, victory had palpably eluded Khrushchev. Mao Tse-tung, China's No. 1 Communist and the senior theorist of the Communist world, had stayed in Peking (where last week he issued the usual dutiful acknowledgment that the Soviet Union "heads the Socialist camp"). By his absence, Mao deprived Khrushchev of acquiescence at the one point where acquiescence counts decisively in the Communist faith-at the summit itself...
