Chief among them is, of course, Red China. Heightening their bitter ideological quarrel with Moscow, the Chinese charged that four years ago Nikita Khrushchev had welshed on a promise to help them make atomic bombs because he wanted to present "a gift" to President Eisenhower on the eve of the Camp David talks. In a bitter radio attack, the Chinese said that the "real aim of the Soviet leaders" in negotiating the nuclear test ban "is to compromise with the U.S. in order to maintain a monopoly of nuclear weapons and lord it over the socialist camp." Peking added savagely...
Kefauver's investigations of racketeering and organized crime in 1951 made him a national figure.
