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. Not long ago, Western newsmen reported, the Old Bolshevik and his daughter had been reduced to selling off the family furniture from her Moscow apartment, suggesting that he had been stripped of his post and income.* Last week the Supreme Soviet ordered his name expunged from 35 factories, streets and towns, and Molotov...
Subversive CIA. In all the clubs, Molotov has been boffo lately. The Washington Premise last week presented a scene in which the Czechoslovakian ambassador to Moscow rushes into Khrushchev's office saying "I bring you condolences on behalf of the entire Czechoslovakian embassy on the death of Mr. Molotov in the automobile accident this morning." Says Khrush: "Thanks, but it's tomorrow morning." In Manhattan and Chicago, other Khrushchevs were being asked (by participating audiences) the whereabouts of Molotov.

Either explanation fitted with Pravda's latest attack on Stalin's longtime Foreign Minister for his "dogmatic stubbornness" in opposing the "live, creative...
...aging (71) Molotov is in the middle of what may be Communism's most significant internal split since the Stalin-Trotsky quarrel in the '20s. On one side are ranged the dominant forces in the Soviet Presidium and most of the world's Communist parties, which support Khrushchev's avowed policies of "peaceful coexistence" with the capitalist nations, his campaign against Stalin's terroristic "cult of personality," and his efforts to raise the living standards of the Russian people. On the opposite side are Red China and its tiny, faraway ally, Albania; they are apparently...
