PARIS, (JTA) — The French
press expressed skepticism about
the statement by Premier Khru-
schev's son-in-law, Alexei Adjubei,
who said while on a visit here that

coexistence with the West. Adju-
bei, who is editor of the Soviet
Government newspaper, Izvestia,
said that the policy applied to the
Middle East as well.
The influential evening daily,
Le Monde, said that, "on one parti-
cular point, Izvestia's editor will
cause consternation among the
Arab leaders: his statement that
Khruschev's applies also to the
Arab-Jewish conflict."
This, Le Monde declared, was
contrary to the views expressed
by President Nasser of Egypt
and Premier Ben Bella Algeria
in their replies to the Soviet
Premier's letter on the peaceful
coexistence policy, last January.
"The two arab leaders claimed
that the Palestinian conflict is
not a territorial one, but a cap-
italistic one in which force can
be used," Le Monde said.
In Tel Aviv, the Israeli Editor's
Committee invited Adjubei to visit
Israel.
The bid was cabled to Adjubei,
after word was received that he
had said in Paris no one in Israel
had invited him. Adjubei made
that statement at a press confer-
ence where he had been asked
whether he had planned to visit
Israel. His reply was: "I am pre-
pared to go there, provided J am
invited; hitherto, I was not invited
by anybody."
The day before, Adjubei, an-
