He may have only muddied the water. ,. The face of the Assembly did show, sometimes by its very inactivity, a few lines. of beginning maturity. New members, some of whom are beginning to learn the world has. problems Which they and their countries have never been fully, aware,, showed less tendency to take the bit in their teeth and go , whooping off toward individually conceived Utopias. Their great leader, India, got involved in an act of aggrcs- jsion in Goa and then in an act of aggression against herself by Red China, and shelved the single-track thinking of Krishna Menon which had long been a disruptive influence at the U.N. Some of the delegates who had been able to see only black , .and white began to see some shadings, too. - Many people see the shifting of the long-stagnant Hungarian issue from a special agent to the secretary-general as a shelving 'of a humanitarian attitude gone dead. But the Soviet Union de nounced it as American propaganda and U Thant has been . Jnvited to Hungary, where the special agent could never go. -'Which makes the action appear in this corner to have been a Jivening up instead of a killing of the issue. - , , ., The Assembly accepted a World .Court decision that all " members are required ..to pay for action taken under assembly, .resolutions, as in the Middle East and the Congo,, on pain, of -losing their votes.

The international definition of morality is perhaps no better now than when the charter was adopted 17 years ago.

Willard Wirtz, resumed talks Friday in the maritime dispute that threatens shipping from Maine to Texas. Top federal mediators met with management and the In ternational Longsho r e nve n ' t Assn. (ILA), which may . call 75,000 members off East and Gulf Coast docks at 5 p.m. Sun day.'" ;" Wirtz, who has warned the walkout could "cripple the country," addressed bargainers for both the ILA and the New York Shipping Assn. (NYSA) on Thursday night following an other round of fruitless contract discussions. William Simkin, director of the federal Mediation and Con ciliation Service, said both sides had turned down Wirtz' sug gestion to temporarily sidestep the issue of work gang size that has deadlocked the talks. . . His proposal included the es tablishment of a special com mittee to study the issue of work gangs for seven months while the current contract is extended, then make non-binding recom mendations. The ILA struck on Oct. 1, but was ordered back to work four days later for an 80day , "cool ing off period under provisions of the Taft-Hartley law. That period ends Sunday. Tidal Wave Alert Canceled in Hawaii HONOLULU UP) A tidal wave alert for the Hawaiian Is lands was canceled early Friday aftec a 45-minute flurry of ex citement that sent sea coast residents scurrying into" the hills. Hawaii civil Defense head Quarters said,, the wave failed to materialize, ,';- The wave had been anticipat ed as the result of an earth quake in the vicinity of the Aleutian Islands' followed by a series of after shocks. gates protested that the plan might weaken an earlier assem bly-call for sanctions against Portugal. -The assembly also: ' "Authorized Secretary-General U Thant to spend up to $10 million a month in the Congo and $1.58 million in the Middle East to keep forces in the field until June 30. It also gave him authority to call a special ses sion of the assembly next spring to deal with the grave Congo finance problem. , .-Extended for two more years the life of the U.N. Works and Relief Agency for Palestine ref ugees. ' Noted 'a .report from the 17- nation disarmament committee that its general negotiations had failed to produce an agreement on an nuclear test ban to take effect by Jan. 1. Wading through the heaviest agenda in its history, the as sembly wound up a day ahead of its deadline. This was a tri umph for assembly President Muhammad Zafrulla Khan of Pakistan, who rode herd on long- winded speakers and tardy dele gates all through the session. Delegates expressed belief that the debates were shorter and contained less heat than usual because of the sobering effect of the Cuban crisis. References to the threat of war over Cuba continually crop ped up in debates on disarma ment, nuclear testing and other questions. The India-China war was never brought before the as sembly or the Security Council officially, but it was much on the minds of the delegates. A highlight of the session was the election of Thant as full secretary-general for four years following the Soviet Union's de cision to shelve its troika de mand that the United Nations be run by a three-man executive. There were also faint signs that the United States and the Soviet Union might be working toward harmony. They agreed to cooperate in using artificial Earth satellites in communica tions, weather forecasting and mapping the world's magnetic field. They also issued a joint declaration that world disarma ment could provide billions in aid for lesser developed na tions. The assembly also endorsed the World Court opinion that assessments on member nations to pay for the U.N. forces in the Congo and the Middle East had to be paid or the delin quents were liable to lose their votes. But the two biggest de linquents, the Soviet Union and France, remained adamant, and nobody expects the assembly to take the vote away from them. nrvT ; -r '1111177 III ''I - k'Y In Dominican Vote Leftist Builds Up ImDressive Lead Early Lead (AP Wlrephoto) Juan.

'SANTA DOMINGO OB The left-leaning Dominican Revolu tionary party surged into an im pressive early lead Friday in unoffficial returns from the Do minican Republic's first free election In 38 years. Returns compiled by inde pendent newspapers and radio stations showed reform-minded Juan Bosch running far in front of Dr. Viriato A. Fiallo of the conservative National Civic Un ion in the race for president. The morning newspaper El Caribe said the conservatives scored victories in the key Ci bao Valley region but they were not expected to be enough to overcome t h e Revolutionary party's heavy vote in Santo Do mingo and its environs. Running Z to 1 Ahead El Caribe reported that in the federal district, where one-tenth of the national vote is concen trated, Bosch was running about 2 to 1 ahead with 174,810 votes to 88,959 for Fiallo. While unofficial returns 'showed the trend favorable to the Revolutionary party, there was no recent barometer upon which observers could make definite predictions of the out come. At Moca, in the Cibao Valley, Fiallo was ahead 14,349-2.299. Fiallo also led Bosch 12,757 7,075 at Puerto Plata on the north coast. These -returns were but a fraction of the estimated 900, 000 votes cast in the election, the first free ballot in this re public since 1924. Final official returns were not expected be fore Sunday. The electors also chose a vice president, a congress nd local and city officials in the election which went off quietly despite bitter campaigning and wide spread violence in the months after the assassination of dic tator Rafael L. Trujillo. Bosch's party charged elec tion irregularities, including the disappearance of blank ballots from polling places. The Na tional Election Board denied the charges. Bosch's advantage in the fed eral district, particularly in low er class areas, had been ex pected. Surprising Strength But he showed surprising strength in Santiago, the na tion's second largest city, where he gained an early lead, and in Montecristi, birthplace of Juan Isidro Jimenez of the Social Democratic Alliance, another presidential candidate. Observers had expected that charges by a Jesuit priest that Bosch's party is communistic would hurt him, especially in Santiago and the Ciboa Valley. The priest retracted the charge two nights before the election. Although Bosch and Fiallo differ in their political philoso phies, both are regarded as friendly to the United States. Both fought the dictatorship of Trujillo Bosch from abroad, Fiallo from inside the country, where he often was jailed.
