No news leaked out of the Moscow talks between top Soviet dialectic expert Mikhail Buslov and his Chinese opposite number, Teng Hslao-Ping. There was little more from the Kiev session, although Tass said It Was “marked by an atmosphere of sincerity and mutual understanding." The official Soviet news agency added that Khrushchev and Spaak had a “useful exchange of views on urgent international questions.” Before Spaak, former secretary general of NATO, arrived in the Soviet Union, Tass said his talks wlttL Khrushchev were a continue; tion of those the two men held in 1961. ' It was then that Khrushchev withdrew his deadline, for signing German peace treaty that would have jeopardized the West’s positions, in Berlin. Spaak reported oii those talks to the NATO allies, but It was not known whether he would follow the same procedure now. One top Western diplomat here said things had begun “to move a little” In East-West relations. He said he thought Soviet trouble with China was Creating a more conciliatory attitude in dealings with the West. But he emphasized he did not expect Khrushchev to give away much. Moscow papers do not even mention that’ the talks are In progress although they are the top subject of conversation in East-West groups wherever they meet-even at the current Soviet film festival. But in the East, Chinese Communist newspapers have kept up a drumfire of attacks on the Soviet Union and on Khrushchev personalty. her of Democratic members of congressional labor and interstate and foreign commerce committees. Kennedy has said that he would ask Congress for legislation to settle the dispute if bargaining failed. i The Chinese Communist paper Wen Pei Po in Hong Kong accused Khrushchev of treating the United States as a friend and China as an enemy. It cited as evidence the publication in Prav-| of the short text of President Kennedy’s reply to Khrushchev’s Fourth of July message. Light as that bit of evidence may be, Soviet relations with the United States represent a major cause of the conflict between the two big Communist powers. U. S.

In general, the orders put the Communist-dominated island country in the same class with Communist China and North Korea, but under more stringent rules than those applying to the Soviet bloc. Funds that refugees manage to get out of the country are not affected by the freeze order, unless it is determined they actually are acting in behalf of the Castro government. The new regulation, instituted by the Treasury at the request of Secretary of State Dean Rusk, became effective one minute after midnight this morning. The action, the State Department said, was taken “to restrict the movement of funds from Cuba” in accordance with the July 3 resolution of the Organization of American States ^ urging, member governments to counter Castro-type Communist supervision in, the Western Hemisphere.
