HIGHTOWEB WASHINGTON (A The United States has decided to vote for In, dia's Madame Pandit as president of the next UN. General Assembly, which convenes in New York next month. ' ; Officials hope this will help heal the scars left by this country fight in the United Nations to block Indian membership in the project ed political conference on Korea. : State Department officials have been concerned- that in winning a victory on this issue the United States might suffer losses in its relations with the Indian govern ment and the Indian people that would play into the hands of Com munist leaders seeking to -extend their power in Asa. India Not Upset ! 1 At the mcaent, Washington fears about this seem to bo greater than New Delhi's interest in the whole suDjeci. ; News dispatches, 1 which are un derstood to be in line with U.S. diplomatic reports, indicate th the Indian government and public opin ion have not been very greatly up set by the fight in the UN. Diplomatic authority in Wash ington, however, are keenly sensi tive to the fact that India stands as the great non-Communist power in Asia, where the shadow of Red China falls ominously over a large area. Friendship Valaed i i Ties of friendship with India are valued ereatlv bv these authorities raesplte the fact that the Indian government has many criticisms of the West and sometimes under takes a kind of neutralism in the East-Wes3struggle which Western ers find hard to understand. iTho decision to vote for Madame Vtjaya Lakshmi Pandit, sister of Prune Minister Nehru, was made according to authoritative inform ants, before the crisis arose over India's membership in the Korean .conference, : . Al State Actios . But it fits in with a widely held conviction now that the United States must do everything reason able to overcome whatever SH ef fects may have resulted from the UN. battle. At least two other possible Tines of action fit into this concept au- thenties here sa v. These are: 1. Efforts by the United States and other United Nation govern ments to make India's chairman ship of the Neutral Nations Re patriation Commission in Korea full-fledged success. . L... 2. Inclusion of India in any, po litical conference that goes Into, far larger Far Eastern issues outside the scope of the immediate Korean question. Reindeer Head South Early This Season Twenty-two Alaskan reindeer flew into Seattle Saturday by plane and not under their own power with Salem owner John A. Zumstein, 2650 Pioneer Dr., who will truck 11 of them to his Redmond i ranch and train them for Christmas advertising. Known 1 as "Operation Santa Claus," the, project began when the reindeer were rounded up near Golovnin, . 150 miles south east ox Home, and. flown there by bush pilots. At Nome 'the herd was loaded in an Alaskan Airlines C-46 with a ton" of th&r native moss. The 11-hour flight to Seattle was de scribed as uneventful. : Zumstein was met in Seattle by Oscar L Paulson Jr.V who is af filiated' with the project. Mrs. Paulson said her husband and Zumstein did not plan to Nbrine the reindeer through Salem en- route to Redmond. ' 1 .- The other 11 animals were bought by Fred J.

Hel ler (D-NY) called the new Kinsey report "the insult of the century Saturday and urged that it barred from the mails until Congress can investigate it He discharged a blast of criticism against Dr. Alfred C. Kinsey and tha book, "Sexual Behavior in the Human Female,; in' a letter to Postmaster General Summerfield. Heller also announced he win ask the House next January to au thorize an investigation to deter mine if -the book is "of a salacious and lewd nature.' The latest Kinsey report sched uled to -go on sale at $8 a copy on Sept 14, was reviewed extensively by newspaper and magazine critics last week. Heller told Summerfield that he has not seen the book himself but formed his opinions from reading rextensive reports m the press." 'From these reports," he wrote. I am convinced that we should discourage the spread of informa tion such as is contained in the Kinsey book and I strongly ques tion the advisability of allowing this book to go through the.mails before a congressional committee has had a chance to examine it or before the Post Office Department has had the opportunity to deter mine whether the material con tained therein is of a salacious and lewd nature."

Brazil changed its mind, meanwhile, and declared him un desirable. When the Bretagne touched Argentina and Uruguay it was the same story: He lacked proper documents.
