Nikita Khruschev's latest financial gambit has won officially enthusiastic backing in Russia and has somewhat puzzled the staff of the Russian Research Center here.

Macmillan's Cabinet had met in special session; there was talk of bringing the archbishop to some neutral city, perhaps Paris. The government announced it would make a statement on Cyprus and asked the Greek chargeé d'affaires...
