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.

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.
A new council session is ex

the assembly.
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

of the UN action instigated by

mands for a complete economic
boycott of South Africa or
perhaps, as in Portugal's case,

organization.
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 . . .

l nncol In maintain I IW fnrnac

Financial Authorization
Thant's financial authorization
for the Congo and Middle East

pires Dec. 31. He wants a new
mandate, including authority to
use force if necessary, and says
he will not accept that "UN

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 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.
