MOSCOW PROMISES A BETTER EXPLANATION
The two heirs, Brezhnev and Kosygin, appear to be highly embarrassed over the world'd unwillingness to believe their first story of how they camé to power; i.e., through the resignation of Khrushchev due to age and the state of his health.
Communist party delegations from countries as widely separated as Belgium and India were in Moscow seeking to learn the true facts. And both l'Unitd, the Italian Communist party paper, and Drapeay Rouge, the Belgian Communist party paper, said assurances had been given that "important .documents" would be published within the week, giving an honest account of how Brezhnev and Kosygin fell . into office.
The ranks of the Communist movement are raising sharp ques-~— tions over Khrushchev's ouster. In France, the National Committee of the Union of Communist Students, for example, passed a declaration by a two-thirds majority demanding that the full transcript of the October 14 session of the Central Committee meeting that kicked out Khrushchev should be published, including Khrushchev's remarks.
The French students said that the latest events put in question the.value of the Soviet Union as an example. They registered their "disagreement with the methods":.used against Khrushchev. How could such things happen “eight years after the Twentieth Congress?"
"A total return to Communist democracy in all fields constitutes one of the elementary conditions," their statement said,.for | "resolution of the internal contradictions of the socialist countries and the problems posed in the organization of the workers movement."
The students stressed that the "grave differences" in the international workers movement "cannot be resolved except by deepening the discussion among the ranks before bringing the debate to a close.‘
