HE WANTS TO BURY US!

KHRUSHCHEV SAID ...

"If you don't like us, don't accept our invitation and don't invite us to come to see you. Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you."

(To Western diplomats at a Moscow reception, Nov. 18, 1956)

...AND IKE REPLIED

"Now, once again, we hear an expansionist regime declaring, 'We will bury you!'

"In a bit of American vernacular - 'oh, yeah?"

"Seriously, it would be a grave error not to take this kind of threat literally. This theme has been communist doctrine for a hundred years.

"You will recall that there was once a dictator named Hitler who also said he would bury us. He wrote a long dull book telling precisely how he was going to do it. Not enough people took him at his word.

"We shall not make that mistake again."

(Radio-TV address, Oklahoma City, Nov. 13, 1957)
