F. POLAND: GOMULKA, ALREADY THE TARGET OF A VIOLENT
ATTACK FOR HIS "UNORTHODOX" POLICY BY PARTY LEFTWINGERS, IS

MOSCOW" BY THE MORE NATIONALISTICALLY INCLINED. THEY SAY,
FOR EXAMPLE, THAT GOMULKA HAS TRIED TO MEDIATE THE SINO?SOVIET
DISPUTE RATHER THAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT FOR POLAND'S ADVANTAGE
AS RUMANIA HAS DONE.
