Little Else m 1962 - " ; : 1
A Little Maturity .
I Exhibited in UN.
By J. M. ROBERTS. . . . . , ,
Of the AuseUUd Pteu
r The United Nations General Assembly meeting this year
Was about on a par with that of the American Congress not '
much accomplished. : ,-. . ... ,
- It did manage to get rid of the Soviet troika idea and elect
U Thant to a regular term as -secretary-general. But the office
is still not what it was under its first two chiefs.
t: Thant got into the middle of the Cuban crisis, but if there,-,
v ere any great accomplishments they were not visible, since i
it was a Russian-American show anyway. 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. But. France and, Russia have defied the .
-Assembly before now, and the effect of the stand , remains, to ,
be seen. -- , - i .. .... ,
: A lot of members are in hock to the organization anyway,
.. on their regular assessments. -
There was no runaway on the proposal to set a fixed date
for the end of all colonialism. Just the opposite. But there
'was no clear expression that Russia in a number of countries
stands in an even more immoral position than do Britain and
'Portugal in Africa, for instance.
." The U.S. played its role in shifting control of West New
Guinea from the Dutch, who had no real rights there, to the .
'Indonesians, who have no real rights there, cither.
The international definition of morality is perhaps no better
now than when the charter was adopted 17 years ago.
But the U.N. still stands as a place where there can be,
tometimea, an expression of some morality after a fashion for
hich there is as yet no substitute. It is a place where some
good men from some good nations' can keep trying for some
JLhings which will bo good if they can ever be accomplished. .,

issues involving its life or death, yet it is still alive, and wi(l.-"

Talks Resume
To Head Off
Ship Strike
" NEW YORK (DPI) Negotia
tors, working under- a week
end strike deadline and appeals
by Labor Secretary W. 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.

"Authorized Secretary-General
U Thant to spend up to $10
million a month in the Congo

' 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.

'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.
