Russia Threatens to Place
Bases in Albania if U S
Puts Them in Italy Greece
MOSCOW (AP) — Nikita Khrushchev ay the Soviet
Union i ready to set up roeket bases in Albania and Bul-
garia to match any the United States may establish in Italy
or Greece'
The Soviet premier visiting Albania repeated an earlier Soviet pro-
poeal for a ban on nuclear weapons In the Balkan peninsula In make It
“a peninsula of peace without any missile or nuclear weapons ’’
He warned Italy and Oreec that U 8 rocket base on their terri-
tory “will attract our rockets as magnet "
“These bases re clesrly spearheaded (gainst the Soviet Union
gainst Albania and other Socialist Communist countries" he said In
speech Tuesday in Tirana the Albanian capital
Jt Italy and Greece go ahead with NATO plan to locate bases for
American-supplied missiles on their
territory Khrushchev declared "It
will compel u -to- build up force
for worthy reply
‘Perhaps" he said "w shall
have to reach agreement wllb the
government of the People’ Re-
public of Albania to put something
her to counter them”
Albania baa a common frontlar
with Greece and la only 100 or
ao miles across the AdrtaUc from
Italy The Italians have agreed
to accept American Intermediate
range missile which can carry
nuclear warheads and are expect-
ed to begin getUng them by early
July
There ha been no word of a
almllsr agreement between the
United Slates and Greece al-
though the two nations hsve
agreed the Greek army will get
American training In the use of
nuclear weapons
The Soviet Union said Khrush-
chev could establish bases for
Intermediate and even close-range
missile In neighboring satellite
thst could "blanket" both Italy
and Oreec
"Now there are missile whlrh
strike targets not hundred but
thousands of kilometer away" he
continued "As to location to In-
stall these rockets we have a
wide choice Jn th matter ”
Khrushchev tempered hla warn-
ing with the declaration "We
consider the international situa-
tion la not a bad one On might
even say It la good"
" "We are fully confident mean-
tng the Soviet Union" he said
"that by following correct policy
It la possible to do awsy whh arm-
ed conflicts M J
But Khrushchev said the West-
ern proposals at the Geneva for-
eign minister conference "offer
no basis for agreement"
Once again the Soviet premier
plumped for aummlt meeting
and said It wa Immaterial to him
where tj waa held
‘To u4 the main point 1 that
the meeting be useful and that
world peace be consolidated" he
aald "to achieve this end we ere
ready to go to the end of the
earth ”
- Khrushchev fnjected a tribute to
John Foster Dulles in his speech
calling him a "distinguished poli-
tician" and expressing “sincere
condolences" on hi death
