Sino-Soviet Conflict Yesterday Peiping put on sale its second volume of Khrushchevian memorabilia. It covers reports, speeches, and letters extracted from Pravda issues between 1942-53, the first volume published last August having covered material from the 1930s. The publisher's note claims that comparison of Khrushchev's past and present statements shows him to be a "conspirator, careerist, and double-faced hypocrite" and at one time an obsequious sycophant of Stalin. C. Cuba-Canada The Canadians have told our people in Ottawa that a court order has freed the Cuban ship seized in Montreal last week. The order also guaranteed that no other Cuban ships will be held. 50X1 (Cont 'd) For The President Only - Top Secret Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A003200030001-8 50X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A003200030001-8 D.
