JFK Tells the Soviet People Russia Is
Trying to “Communize Entire World”
WASHINGTON UR — President
Kennedy told the Soviet people
through their own government
newspaper Tuesday that the root
of the East-West troubles is the
Russian effort to “Communize
... the entire world.”
In an interview with Alexei
Adzhubei, editor of Izvestia and
son-in-law of Premier Khrushch
chev, tiie U.S. executive laid
heavy stress on the aim of free
dom of choice for peoples — and
he said the peoples of Eastern
Europe do not have it.
Kennedy dealt with the Berlin
conflict as the focus of East-West
tensions, overshadowing issues
such as trade and disarmament.
An agreement on Berlin could
lead to “peace in this century in
Central Europe,” Kennedy said.
But he firmly turned thumbs
down again on a settlement that
would give the East German pup
pet regime control over West Ber
lin or its access routes.
On another major point of East
West conflict, Kennedy told the
itussian editor:
“If we are able to achieve an
agreement on cessation of nuclear
tests, that would bring other
agreements on disarmament.”
Exclusive Interview
Kennedy granted the exclusive
interview last Saturday in Hyan- j
nis Port, Mass., and it was pub-1
lished in Moscow Tuesday. The!
White House thereupon released j
a transcript.
The interview took up 10 solid
, columns in Izvestia, a fact the
White House took as an indication
it had been carried in full despite
its presentation of a point of view
never before given publicity in
the Soviet Union.
Later that view was confirmed
almost in full. Word came in from
the Embassy that there was just
one substantial change in Mos
cow’s version and it was not in
what Kennedy himself had to
say.
The Washington text had Ad
zhubei saying only that results
of Khrushchev’s visit here in
1959 were not “completely satis
factory.” In Izevestia he said
positive results were “brought to
nothing by the well known actions
of the then Eisenhower American
Administration.”
Throughout the 8,000 words
the exchanges read more like a
debate than a question-and-an
swer discussion such as an Amer
ican newsman would have with
Kennedy. At times Adzhubei
sharply disagreed with Kennedy
and told him so. Once he said the
Soviets would be happy if Ken
nedy would admit U.S. “inter
j ference” in Cuban affairs was a
mistake.
Gate Views Across
Kennedy apparently attached
great importance to his meeting
with Adzhulbei as a way of get
ting his views across to the So
viet people.
Generally Kennedy couched his
comments in soft words because
"DO IT ALL
If WITH ONE CALL" \
t-m
i ;■) V%;
| one obvious purpose of his re
marks was to put across to the
Soviets the idea that the United
States wants a peaceful solution
of the Berlin crisis and is not
deliberately looking for trouble.
But he made no bones about the
UjS. view of basic Soviet policy
and action:
“If the Soviet Union were mere
ly seeking to protect its own na
tional Interests, to protect Its own
national security end would per
mit countries to live as they
wish — to live in peace — then
I believe that the problems which
now cause so much tension would
fade away.”
Kennedy said Americans want
the Soviet people as well as them
selves to be able to live in peace.
“It is this effort to push out
ward the Communist system, on
to country after country, that re
presents, I think the great threat
to peace,” Kennedy said.
A STEP FORWARD
WASHINGTON W — President
Kennedy said yesterday he con
sidered the publication in the So
viet Union of his interview with
a Soviet editor “a marked step
forward in American-Soviet un
derstanding.”
In a statement, the President
added: “I hope it will lead to
further intensification of free
communication between our two
countries at all levels.”
Red China Gives Russia
Deliberate Slap in the Face
TOKYO UP) — China’s ruling
Communists gave Moscow Tues
i day what appeared to be a deli
] berate slap in the face, indicat
I inig the Pieping-Kremlln ideolog
ical quarrel has left deep soars.
Peiping radio quoted Chiang
Non-Hsiang , president of the
China-Albania Friendship Society,
as describing toe leadership in
Communist Albania as both cor
rect and Marxist-Leninist.
The Soviet Communists under
Premier Khrushchev have been
denouncing Albania as hard-line
! Stalinists ever since the recent
! 22nd Soviet Party Congress.
| Chiang expressed the Pieping
view at a party in the Red Chi
nese capital marking toe 17th an
niversary of Albania’s liberation
from the Nazis. He praised Al
bania’s “outstanding contributions
to the struggle against imperial
ism and Yugoslav revisionism and
in defense of world peace.”
The Peiping broadcast stressed
the “fraternal friendship between
the Chinese and Albanian peoples,
based on Marxism-Leninism and
proletarian internationalism,” and
said it was unbreakable.
SUB8CRIBE TO THE NUGGE7
JFK’s Interview
Arouses Great
Interest in Moscow
MOSCOW W> — The Soviet
news agency Tass, reporting
President Kennedy’s interview
with Soviet government paper
Izvestia, said yesterday the Presi
dent “tried to take cover behind
the old blind of an imaginary
‘Communist menace’ in discussing
East-West relations.
The agency said the President
“chooses” to blame the Soviet
Union for what he called “the
area of mounting crisis” in Ber
lin and Germany.
Tass said that Kennedy, when
asked whether he acknowledged
U.S. intervention in Cuba’s af
fairs was a mistake, “stubbornly
tried to Justify his country’s
policy toward its small but
heroic neighbor.”
It was apparent that the Presi
dent’s unprecedented Interview
with a Soviet writer had aroused
great interest in Moscow.
Hundreds of Russians lined up
to buy the government paper
when it hit the streets with 10
solid columns of the interview.
Tass said the President in his
reply to a number of questions
“left no room for doubt that he
was aware of how much the
future of the world depended on
the relations between the Soviet
Union and the United States.”

Chance Son Is Alive
MANILA MB — Gov. Nelson A.
Rockefeller said Tuesday there is
“only an outside chance, a
miracle” his youngest son Michael
still is alive in the wilds of Dutch
New Guinea.
Pausing here briefly on his way
home from the fruitless search,
the Governor said the hunt will
continue.
He told reporters the area of
search for his 23-year-old son
spreads over a thousand square
miles and most of it is heavy
jungle. ^ '
Looking weary and tired,
Rockefeller left his daughter, Mrs.
Mary Strawbridge who had flown
to New Guinea with him, in
Manila where she will visit her
lieutenant husband on duty here.
Rockefeller resumed the flight
home via Europe.
