...Nikita Khrushchev who put on a spectacular road show across Asia in 1955 was the man on the make, from the land on the make. The Khrushchev who ended his second Southeast Asia swing last week was a man who all too obviously thought he had it made-and meant to keep it if he could. It was a holding operation.

Last January, jauntily telling the world that Russia's missile lead was so great it could afford to disarm, Khrushchev announced a 1,200,000 cut in the number of men in uniform. Last week his Defense Minister, in a major policy statement, hinted at a further release of military manpower to farms and factories.
