Real Trouble. Only two days after Jenkins' arrest, anonymous tipsters began advising newspapers that there was an interesting item on the Oct. 7 blotter of the morals squad. The tips were widely dispersed: a man from Pravda even showed up for a peek. At least one of the tips was traced to the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee, and the Republican National Committee was known to be on to the story. Delaware's Republican Senator John J. Williams said he heard of the case several days before it got into print...
Amateurs. Somewhat lamely, both Washington and London denied "the validity of the charges," accused Moscow of a "flagrant violation" of the rules of diplomatic immunity. In answer, both Izvestia and Pravda started printing the military secrets the officers were accused of uncovering-for example, a badly overexposed photograph of "twelve rocket carriers for intercontinental missiles...
...with even greater impact -and some of them are stirring up a kind of revolution. Beset by economic problems that stem largely from their doctrinaire Marxism, the nations of the Soviet bloc are turning to many capitalistic practices that they once roundly condemned.

...more decision making by plant managers instead of central planners, has been successful enough to announce that his ideas "will be extended next year over the whole of Soviet light industry." But his voice is only one in a rising chorus of criticism directed at classic Marxist economics. Lately Pravda and other Soviet publications have carried articles by economists branding the Soviet system "obsolete" and advocating a more or less free market system. Sergei Afanasyev, a deputy premier of one of the Soviet republics, fortnight ago came out for "material stimuli" as a necessary mainspring of the Russian economy...
...Moscow, Communist China's Mao Tse-tung is nothing more than a Red Hitler in search of Lebensraum. In a blistering editorial, Pravda pointed out that Peking had published a history textbook containing a map that showed China's frontiers as including parts of the Soviet far east-the Maritime Krai, Vladivostok and Sakhalin; a large part of Khabarovsk Krai and Amur Oblast; parts of Kirgizia, Tadzhikistan and Kazakhstan as far west as Lake Balk hash. This reinterpretation of geography would in effect push the Chinese border as much as 300 miles into the Soviet Union...
