Khrushchev's Criticism of West Upsets British Prime Minister; Dulles to Celebrate 71st Birthday

MOSCOW, Feb. 24--Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev caustically attacked Western foreign policies on Germany today in a Kremlin speech. British sources said visiting Prime Minister Harold Macmillan reacted wth some shock when he heard of Khrushchev's remarks.

Macmillan was an apparently amiable guest at a British Embassy reception later, but became slightly ill there. A British spokesman blamed it on the high room temperature at the crowded party.

Khrushchev seemed to reject the West's proposal for a Big Four foreign ministers meeting on Germany. It would have been justified at the windup of World War II, he said, but "now the idea is plainly obsolete."
