Chinese “Stupid” -Khrushchev
(Rec. 10 pan.) NEW YORK, December 27. A Moscow correspondent of the National Broadcasting Company tonight quoted the Soviet Prime Minister, Mr Nikita Khrushchev, as saying that the Chinese Communists were “stupid” for engaging in their border dispute with India.
The correspondent. Joseph Michaels, said that Mr Khrushchev made this remark in Moscow after his return from Communist China’s tenth anniversary celebrations in Peking last October. Michaels added that the Soviet censor would not permit the word “stupid" to be included in reports to the United States. Michaels appeared in New York in a televised round-table discussion with NBC correspondents from major world news centres. He said Mr Khrushchev had commented at a Moscow reception soon after he got back from Peking. In New Delhi today, India's Ambassador to Communist China, Mr Gopalaswami Parthasrahy, reported to the Prime Minister, Mr Nehru, after being recalled to New Delhi for consultations on the India-Communist China border dispute. He was believed in New Delhi to have brought a personal message from the Chinese Prime Minister, Mr Chou En-lai, expressing a desire for an early meeting with Mr Nehru.
