SUNDAY, Th By BRUCE W. MUNN United Piths International UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (UPI) The greatest diplo matic show on earth is on but, as on many a midway of the general run, the sideshows promise to outdraw the big tent. The sinuous diplomatic dance of the Big Three foreign minis ters seeking agreement on "next stens" in private talks and the fire-eating act of the Africans against colonialism and racism in the Security Council seem to hold more import than the old and familiar acts in the United Nations Assembly hall. Despite top billing for three heads of state President Ken nedy, Yugoslavia's Tito and Al geria's Ben Bella and 36 foreign ministers, the cast for the 18th regular session of the assembly pale in comparison with some of the past. Khrushchev Not There Russia's Khrushchev and his table-pounding shoe are not here. Nor is Cuba s Castro pres ent to bearhug Khrushchev's bald head into his beard in a caricature of an oversize egg in a nest. Titans of assembly sessions before the historic 1960 hippo drome are missing. There is no Vishinsky of Russia, no Bclaude "the white Vishinsky," as the Soviet originally called him of Peru, no Romulo of the Phil ippines no Hammarskjold. Secretary General Thant has railed this the assembly of the three D's disarmament, de colonization and development of backward areas. Other Questions Although the three D's dom inate the printed agenda, other questions overshadow it in cau cuses and corridor conversa tions. There Is the question of Viet Nam, sparked and headlined by Survey by United Crusade To Start In Area Monday The Home Crusade, the Uni ted Crusade name for residential solicitation, will not be conduct ed this year, according to Jerald McGrew, campaign chairman. Alter 10 years of residential solicitation it appeared desir able to suspend this feature for a year, to see if sufficient funds could he collected from firms and employees without the extra work of women volunteers In house to house calling, McGrew said. The United Fund method of solicitation is at places of em ployment. Less thartr per cent of the campaign goal was raised last year from the residential drive, he noted. A residential survey will be conducted for three nays start ing Sept. 23 by women volun teers. Mrs. Allen Sterton Is the chair man of the survey. She has Mrs. Lou Crantson, Mrs. Wayne Chit wood, Mrs. Robert Hercher, Mrs. Richard Schicferstein, Mrs. Donald Burrell, Mrs. Donald Kills, Mrs. .lohn Dumas, Mrs. Robert Buller, Mrs. Robert Fascl, Mrs. Albert Schwab, Mrs. Eric Carlson, Mrs. Richard Mole, Mrs. Robert Balk, Mrs. Rod Wilham and Mrs. William Towne, as colonels of various Medlord areas. They have each obtained a group of women who will do the survey work in their sections. Answers to survey questions will he tabulated and reported by (he the United Crusade during the campaign. Dr. Elliott Bccken will con duct the training of the survey group over a local television sta tion at 10 a.m. Monday. The survey teams will gather at various homes to receive their instructions from Dr. Bccken, and will be given the materials they will use In mak ing the survey. Thurmond Attacks Test Ban Treaty WASHINGTON (UPI) Sen. Strom Thurmond (D S.C.) launched a new attack on the nuclear test ban treaty, finding it wanting from both a military and political point of view. In a 2R-page statement, Thur mond criticized the proposed pact for its "gross and signifi cant ineptitudes" of language. A reserve general and a mem ber of the Armed Service Com mittee. Thurmond said political as well as military considera tions "weigh against" ratifica tion. He warned that the United Slates would not initiate with drawal from the treaty unless it was "overtly" broken by Rus sia. Then the United States would still need indisputable proof of a violation, he said. Mobilheat "Oil o Burn" S4H GREIN STAMPS MEDFORD FUEL CO. Ph. 772-2111 SEPTEMBER 22, 1M3 iree IDs the demand of 14 countries for a thorough look into the perse cution of the troubled country's Buddhist majority. There is the highly vocal de mand of Africans, which lacks the steam of a formal move for floor action, for expulsion or severe discipline of Portugal and South Africa for their co lonial and racial policies in Af rica. There is the money problem. Thant foresees a $140 million deficit for the United Nations by the end of this year. Hard nosed, figure-minded experts in the Ill-nation fifth (administra tive and budgetary) committee must determine how to meet it, Live Up to Charter In the back of everybody's mind is the question of whether the world organization will live up to its charter and take the vote away from Russia, France, South Africa, Belgium and oth ers who refuse to pay a portion of the UN peace-keeping costs. The decision doesn't necessari ly arise until the first assembly meeting of 1964. The United Nations computes arrearages on a calendar basis and the cut off figure for the chronic delin quents will not be reached until the first of the year. There is the question of China. Despite the current festering relations of the two Communist regimes, Russia is expected to demand again that the assembly give China's scat including permanent membership in the Security Council to the Com munist regime. Last year's vote against the move to seat the Chinese Reds returned the greatest margin against the Peking regime in years, however, and cannot be expected to be reversed at this session. New Oratorical Artists The list of problems, old and new, runs to 81 items inscribed on the assembly's formal agen da. But argumentation on most of them is expected to be a playback of old refrains, in some cases by new oratorical artists. While the assembly plods through its annual parade to the podium for the opening gen eral debate in which every member Is entitled to deliver a policy speech, three quiet men meet quietly elsewhere in New York. Secretary of Stale Dean Rusk, British Foreign Secretary the Earl of Home and Soviet For eign Minister Andrei Grorrwko hoped to use the session as a background against which to seek new agreement. The signing of the partial test ban treaty in Moscow last month created what Thant described as a "new psychological climate which has dawned over the world." Treaty Brings Expressions I The treaty hrought expres sions of hope all over the world that it would be followed by "next steps" to case the cold war and create an actual, not propagandistic, co-existence be tween East and West. The ministers have no formal agenda as they seek "next steps." Thant told his pie-assembly news conference: "I venture to express the hope that they will take advantage of their presence at UN head quarters at the same time to engage in discussions on possi ble next steps. I would also hope they would include in their discussions the question of a comprehensive test ban treaty, including underground testing, on terms to be agreed upon among themselves." Surface, air and underwater tests wore banned by the Mos cow accord. Underground tests, because of the difficulty of veri fied detection, were not includ ed. The United Stales set off a series of underground blasts only a few days before the as sembly convened. Brightest Spotlight Within the United Nations, the brightest spotlight could be expected on the Security Coun cil, despite the presence of the General Assembly in session. Thant was instructed by the council to report to it by Oct. 31 on steps taken by Portugal to end repression and grant self-government and independ ence to the natives of its over seas territories notably An gola, Mozambique and Portu guese Guinea. There Is little evidence that Portugal has done anything noteworthy to meet the demands put before the council and ap proved by it, despite a Western watering down of their resolu tion, on July 31.

Another Sore Point Africa's other sore point is the apartheid racial policy of the South African government. The Security Council voted an arms embargo against South Africa on Aug. 7 and its African proponents said it was a "last warning" 'o abandon its racial policies. Prime Minister Henryk Vor wocrd's government is defiant of the UN action instigated by his black African neighbors and they are expected to return to the Security Council with de TABLE LAMPS AS LOW AS S&95 (jfUSHED FURNITURE Double Desk re5. $34.95 $29.88 5-Drawer Chest,,, , $16.88 4-Drawer Chest , $17 ,s . $14.88 Sludent Desk rcq $14.88 Adjusts 3-PIECE Bedroom Set Mr. and Mrs. Dresser with till mirror, bookcase head board, bed, chesl.

Thant, puzzled because, he says, "Certain elements all over the world (which) were critical of the way in which ONU (the UN command) discharged its I responsibility in the Congo . . . ! are now coming out with a pro- l nncol In maintain I IW fnrnac there for another six months beyond 1963." Financial Authorization Thant's financial authorization for the Congo and Middle East peace - keeping operations ex pires Dec. 31.

The financial puzzle also may wind up in the council, for the non-payers take the legalistic position that peace-keeping as sessments are not valid unless voted by the prime peace-keeping organization of the United Nations. Previous assessments carried assembly approval. The UN peace observation mission in revolt-torn Yemen is not going well. Resigns in Disgust Veteran UN military leader Maj. Gen. Carl Carlsson Von Horn of Sweden resigned in dis gust because his command lack ed facilities to police unending support to the opposing belliger ents in Yemen from Saudi Ara bia and the United Arab Repub lic. WE Slashed All Over The Store 9 A.M. TO 5;30 P.M. OREGON The Security Council approved the Yemen operation because Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Republic agreed to finance it with a skimpy $400,000 apiece for four months. The four months ends Nov. 3 and the case of Yemen can be ex pected back on the council floor. Syria and Israel wrote an other chapter, ending in a So viet veto of UN action against the Syrians, In the council's long history of troubles between Is rael and her Arab neighbors. The Middle East is unrestful. The long-running debate may come back to the council. A thousand delegates from 111 countries and hundreds of aides, secretaries, strong - arm personal assistants and news men from the world's narrow ing four corners will throng the blue-and-gold Assembly hall FALL HARVEST WON' BE UNDERSOLD!

Whether the big show is there, in the ring of the Security Coun cil's horseshoe table, or taxing the air conditioning of a mid town hotel room, the UN circus could well employ a barker to truthfully proclaim: "Never a dull moment."
