Doctors’ Plot?
(Rec. 10 p.m.) x MOSCOW, December 8. Mr Khrushchev lost a battle today—against his doctors. The tussle started when he went down with influenza two days ago. Today he was to propose a toast of friendship between China and Russia at a Kremlin reception.
After a round of drinks at the reception, the deputy VicePremier, Mr Anastas Mikoyan, went to the microphone and announced: “You probably wonder why a person who is so fond of making toasts is absent But Comrade Khrushchev has slight trouble with the flu. And flu is stronger than the human wilt “He could have overcome this trouble if the doctors had permitted. but they did not let him come.”
