UN Assembly Ends
960th Meeting of UN General Assembly
Closes With Next To Nothing Solved
By JACK V. FOX
United Nations, N.Y.-fflPD-The
good-looking guard in
the pale blue uniform
stomped his feet inside the
telephone booth sentry box
and ignored people walking
Into the big building.
Three months ago today he
was stopping everyone for
photograph - mounted passes
while police on horseback
held back crowds pressing for
a peek at Eisenhower or
Khrushchev or Macmillan or
Castro or Tito or Nasser or
Nehru.
The 15th General Assem
bly of the United Nations was
coming to a temporary close.
Inside, looking down on the
ornate hall where the most
powerful of world leaders had
sat for four frantic weeks, the
eye gravitated to the green
covered desk at the back with
the nameplate: "Union of So
viet Socialist Republics."
It seemed there should be
another sign alongside:
"Khrushchev pounded his
shoe here."
Wadsworih'a Last Day
Across the hall, burly, jo
vial Jerry (James J.) Wads-
worth talked with maverick
Sen. Wayne Morse. It was
' Wadsworth's last day at the
General Assembly. He had re
placed Henry Cabot Lodge
for three historic months. The
next time the body meets Ad-
lal Stevenson will be sitting
his place as U.S. am
bassador.
On the dais, ruddy-faced
Frederick Boland of Ireland
presided with the dignified
equanimity broken only once
these three months when he
brought down a gavel so
forcefully it shattered and a
piece of It just missed his
head.
Hammarskjold Still There
The impertuable Dag Ham
marskjold sat alongside Bo
land. The Russians had said
he must go. But he was still
there. And the betting was
he will be there until his term
expires in April, 1963, or else
the United Nations itself will
be gone.
The outfit was as good as
broke. The Congo operation
had cost $60 million and the
bill was due. Russia and its
satellites said the United
States could pick up that
check.
What had been accom
plished? Next to nothing. The
United Nations was still func
tioning and that was about
the best that could be said
Same Bloody Upheaval
In the background was the
same bloody upheaval in The
Congo that had been there
when the delegates assembled
last Sept. 20. The delegate

from Israel was warning that
it could lead to another
Spanish-type civil war, an
other Korea.
The session was open to the
public Tuesday but less than
one-fourth of the seats were
filled. The busiest part of the
building was the section open
to guided tours. The dele
gates' lounge buzzed with
many languages among the
bright red poinsettas no
Christmas trees in this multi
faith gathering.
The 960th meeting of the
General Assembly of the
United Nations was at an end
the session to resume again
in 11 weeks time

Ashland-Clarence Bell, re
cently returned from a five
month trip to India and the
Far East, spoke before mem
bers of the Ashland Chamber
of Commerce at their lunch
eon meeting in the Mark An
tony hotel Tuesday.
The former president of the
chamber was introduced by
Bill Patton, program chair
man, and the meeting was
conducted by the vice presi
dent, Richard Isaacs.
Warning his listeners that
he made no claim to be an au
thority but only brought back
his personal impressions of
conditions as he saw them,
Bell described some of the ex
periences that have made him
and his family "thankful for
the blessings of this nation
and this community."
Lack of Education
The extremes of poverty
and wealth, the lack of educa
tion, the low living standards
and the tremendous part play
ed by the Moslem religion,
were all evident, especially in
India, declared the traveler.
The only exception to the
prevailing filth and lack of
modern living was in Penang,
Malayan Federation, where
the Bells found a city of great
beauty, as well as sanitation
In every other country they
visited signs were posted
warning against unsafe wa
ter." Not only must tourists
in India carry drinking wa
ter but their bedding, their
food, even soap and towels,
Most terrifying of their
long journey was a cyclone
and 27-foot tidal wave which
took between 8,000 and 10,
000 lives last Oct 29. Their
ship was driven aground, high
into a rice field and many of
its crew were killed. Bell de
scribed the horror of seeing
masses of bodies float in and
I out on the tide for days.
Notice Humidity
Refrigeration Just isn t.
Bell said. "Butcher shops,
open, are surroundind by cir
cles of scabby-looking dogs. It
isn't so much the heat, but
the humidity in India that the
American travelers notice," he
said.
Most of the time spent in
India was at the home of
Bell's brother, who heads the
Methodist publishing house in
Lucknow. While in Jakarta he
talked by telephone with Mrs.
Alvin Miller. Dr.. Miller, a
member of Southern Oregon
college faculty, is serving as
adviser to the Indonesian gov
ernment. At a later meeting Bell will
show some of the slides tak
en during the tour which in
cluded the Philippine islands,
where he visited the Nation
al cemetery, "an impressive
reminder of the thousands of
American men who gave their
lives."
The next chamber lunch
eon meeting will be held Jan.
10 when officers for the com
ing year will be installed, and
the 1960 annual reports made.

ing president.

Ashland High
Presents Program
By FAITH McCULLOUGH
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Ashland -'Tuesday evening
the third and final school
Christmas concert was pre
sented in the Ashland High
school gym by the chorus and
orchestra before a small but
appreciative audience.
The 43-voice chorus was
heard in an ambitious cantata
arranged and directed by W.
Bernard Windt. Accompanied
by the high school orchestra
of 30 instrumentalists and nar
rated by Mike Rountree, the
Christmas story was presented
in three parts, Prophecy, Na
tivity and Gloria.
A mixed quintet sang "O
Holy Night," and in conclu
sion the entire chorus joined
in the triumphant "Gloria in
Excelsis."
Lighted by tall candelabra,
the stage was set for the stable
scene of "Mary and Joseph
and the Babe, lying in a man
ger." About them again.- a
background of evergreen 1 1 ;es
were the animals.
The first half of the pro
gram opened with traditional
carols played by the brass
sextet directed by Raoul Mad
dox. An unfamiliar but beauti
ful Mendelssohn number,
"Hvmn of Praise," and "The
Windsor Melody" by Noel
Gay were played by the or
chestra. Both selections were
marked by effective drum and
cvmbal passages.
The mixed chorus and me
girls" chorus sang two spiritu
als, "Rise Up Shepherds" and
Listen to the Angels." Lee
Bounds was accompanist for
the entire concert.

They cited as the latest evi
dence of such a move the an
nouncement that the Texas
Democrat will take charge
next month of the federal
drive to eliminate discrimina
tion against Negro workers
oy firms with government con
tracts.
Not All Surprised
Many, but not all, Demo
crats in Washington reacted
with surprise to President
elect John F. Kennedy's an
nouncement in Florida Tues
day that he had assigned to
Johnson the job of overseeing
tne worK or ine government s
anti '- discrimination contract
compliance committee.
None of the Democrats who
saw in the move a bid by
Johnson for liberal support in
1968 would allow their names
to be used.
Johnson would be 60 years
old in 1968, 17 years older
than Kennedy is now but two
years younger than President
Eisenhower was at the time of
his inauguration in 1952.
The suggestion that Johnson
is seeking the 1968 Demo
cratic presidential nomination
is based on the assumption
that Kennedy will run for re
election in 1964 and win. He
then would be barred from
trying for a third term. If
Kennedy lost in 1964, he could
run again in 1088, virtually
ruling out any future Johnson
nomination on grounds of age.
Nixon Chairman
Vice President Richard M.
Nixon is now chairman of the
Contract Compliance Commit
tee, which has a staff of about
30 persons. The group's task
is to eliminate discriminatory
hiring practices by companies
handling government eon-tracts.
Nixon pointed to his role In
this field in wooing Negro
votes in the recent presiden
tial camoalKn.
Johnson lost his bid for the
Democratic presidential nomi
nation largely because of op
position from northern liber
als and labor leaders who felt
he had little vote appeal in
the big northern cities with
their heavy population of Ne
groes, rank - and - file union
members and liberals.
