Khrushchev Warns Chinese Critics on Nuclear War Risks
Moscow premier Khrushchev told 6 000 at a Kremlin rally that a world war is not necessary to build socialism or revolution and warned a nuclear war could destroy mankind. He challenged Chinese opponents during talks with Hungarian Premier Janos Kadar as peace talks faltered. He said socialism’s victory depends on peoples and denied ever unleashing thermonuclear war, while accusing China of reviving Stalin’s cult of personality and arresting dissent within legal bounds.

Khrushchev Proposes Inspectors to Ease East West Tensions
In a Kremlin speech Premier Khrushchev offered to allow foreign inspectors at Soviet airfields and ports to deter secret troop concentrations and proposed reciprocally exchanging inspection teams between East and West Germany. He backed a partial nuclear test ban and suggested a ban on underground tests, noting readiness to negotiate troop reductions and urging a peace settlement for West Berlin.
