Premier Kosygin argues in a New York Times interview that the United States is becoming a militaristic power using force to influence world affairs. The interview is cited as evidence of a propaganda charge against America.
The piece analyzes a new Soviet propaganda charge linked to Moscow's press and radio, aimed at undermining U S Viet Nam policy and NATO unity. Kosygin accuses the United States of military provocation while defending wars of national liberation, signaling a sharpened Cold War rhetoric and possible wider conflict.
Observers see no evidence of fresh policy thinking in Kosygin remarks. The Soviet government is expected to maintain U S contacts and keep crisis dialogue open. Soviets prefer a peaceful end to Vietnam and will not deepen support for North Vietnam, with relations seen as frozen while the war continues. Outcomes depend on Soviet political pressure against the United States.
In Moscow AP reports a major reorganization of Soviet leadership. Nikolai Podgorny becomes presidency, replacing Anastas Mikoyan, while Alexander Shelepin moves toward the No 2 post. Brezhnev maintains first secretary and Kosygin remains premier. Mikoyan, 70, retires from the presidency after a long career and Mikoyan remains a presidium member and new Supreme Soviet vice president role follows.

London reports Britain drafts a message to the Soviet Union urging North Vietnam to end fighting and seek peace.
