many years, has close ties with the
Army and has received important
foreign assignments recently.
Soviet influence over foreign
Communist parties has suffered
a great decline in recent months
due to the ouster of Khrushchev,
a popular figure, and Communist
China's increasing strength and
influence. Many important Sovie!
political figures and party leaders
have become highly worried over
the situation and fear of Commu-
nist China has grown according
ly. Some Soviet officials feel a
stronger Soviet foreign policy
might alleviate the recent loss in
prestige and influence.
They postulate that a strong
Soviet response to U.S. actions in'
Viet Nam would help counteract'
the commanding influence held by
Communist China over Southeast
Asia. A newly reassertive Soviet
foreign policy might also return to
the fold foreign Communist par-
ties which have recently been wav-
ering in support for Communist
China or Russia.
Foreign Policy Risks
Of course, the Soviet Union, as
an industrialized, increasingly
prosperous nation, also faces risks
in a more aggressive foreign poli-
cy. Many Soviet leaders view the
recent detente wvith the West as
beneficial because it allows Russia
to devote increasing time and
money to further bolstering the
economy and alleviating agricul-

VIET NAM (P)-A real threat
exists that thousands of "volun-
teers" will enter the war in South
Viet Nam on the Communist side
t -not Chinese or Russians, but
men from Communist North Viet
Nam.
Both the Chinese and the Rus-
sians have mentioned the possi-
bility of sending their own men to
Viet Nam. But the Soviet hint
was vague, and the Chinese have
shown no sign of hurry about
getting so deeply involved. This
talk of "volunteers" seemed in-
