United Nations Plans Series of Treatments for Growing Pains UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (UPI) The United Nations is about to begin a series of treat ments for growing pains. The first operation is due to start as soon as the current General Assembly ends before Christmas. Carpenters will take over the mcetine rooms as soon as the diplomats leave. Their job is to V.-ease the seating C Whenfhe United Nations was founded 18 years ago it had 51 member nations. Today it has oTe than double lhat number and more are anticipated in the near future as additional ter ritories become independent. Delegates have multiplied, and the U. N. staff necessarily has had to grow to handle the mushrooming activities. As a result, f-cilities designed for a maximum 70 delegations have become grossly overtaxed Conference rooms are crowded with makeshift arrangements. Administrative officials are woe fully short of office space. Din ing facilities cannot handle all the delegates and their guests, and lounge areas are jammed during kev periods. Long lines are the rule at the staff cafe teria. Submits Program To alleviate the situation, Sec retary General Thant has sub mitted a three-pronged program for expansion and improve ments. Overall, the program pro poses changes costing about $14 million. At present, however, only a $1.7 million renovation nf the conference rooms and a $1.2 million development of the basement area are certain. An $11 million plan for enlarging the dining and lounge facilities has been deferred for further sluclv in 1964. Priority has been given to converting the assembly hall and trusteeship council for use as regular conference rooms, and to expanding the desk and seating arrangements in the ex isting four main conference rooms. Carpenters will be busy on this job until the assembly reconvenes next September. Special features of this part of the program are the installa tion of individual microphones at assembly desks to save the long walk to the podium during routine debates; and possibly an experimental electrical vot ing system in one conference room to speed up the proce-d-.es. Second Part of Program The second part of the pro gram calls for an overhaul of the basement area into office space and facilities for televi sion and other visual services. This would require basic struc tural changes and installation of plumbing, heating, air condition ing, fire protection and elec trical equipment. It is pro posed that this work be done in 1964 and 1965. At present both office and tele vision facilities are woefully in adequate. One high official com plained that he needed more staff to complete the work asked of him by the assembly, but pointed out that he had no phys ical space for additional em ployes even if he got them. Official U. N. television and films are gaining importance rapidly as a means of conveying the organization's work to much of the world, but facilities PET TALK Sy M. I. L. A PARABLE And it came to pass that the Lord left the city and went over the mountaii.s with His disciples and they came to a mil wnere i the way was steep, and there j Ihoy found a man with a mule. u;c animal had fallen because he had overloaded it, and he was beating it so that it bled. And Jesus drew near to him and said: "Fellow, why beatest thou thine, animal; seeth thou i not lhat it is too weak for its burden, and knowest thou not ; that it feels pain?" The man answered: "What ; hast llmu lo do'.' I may beat it as much as I please, for it is my propcrtv which I bought for a good price. Ask them that are j with Thee, for they know me j and know also of this." And some ; of the disciples said: "Yes, Lord, it is as he says for we saw how he bought the animal." j Rni tho l.nrd said again: i "Then see ye not also how it bleeds and hear ye not that it and rio5 nlmiri?" Thev answered and said: "Nay, Lord, we hear not that it moans and cries out." Then Jesus was sad and cried: "Woe unlo ye that hear not how it complains and cries out to Heavenly Beings for mercy, but thrice woe to him against whom it cries out and complains in its agony." i Then He drew near to the animal and soothed it and it rose up and its wounds were healed. But to the man spake He: "Go now upon thy way and from this time on, beat the animal no more, that thou mayest thy- j self find mercy." j From the handwritten ; Coptic Bible in the Paris library. CimiSTMAS PETS An adult dog is often better for children than a puppy. The chances arc that he has been trained and you can be sure about Ihe size of the animal. A spavod female has been found to lie the most satisfactory dog around children. There are many dogs at the Jackson Coun ty Pound eagerly awaiting a new home. Perhaps former owners discovered they didn't really want a pel. So, parents, he sure you are willing to lake on Ihe responsibilities of super vision and care and that Ihe animal is wanted enough to be assured of a good home.

Controversial Phase1 The most controversial phase of Thant's program is the pro posed enlargement and improve ment of dining and lounge facil ities. The Russians already have served notice they will demand a thorough debate of this phase next year because of the high costs involved. The target for starting this phase is 1966. Briefly, as recommended in an extensive architectural and en gineering survey, this phase calls for: Doubling t h e delegates' lounge by extending Ihe confer ence building 30 feet to the north and erecting a sweeping balcony over the main floor of the lounge. Enlargement of the dele gates' dining areas with an ex tension of the existing dining room to occupy half of the pres ent staff cafeteria. The rest of the cafeteria would be converted to a coffee shop. Two-Floor Extension A Iwo-floor extension of the conference building at the south end to house a new cafeteria and kitchen, and additional offices. Taking a long-range view, the siu-vey urges the assembly to consider eventual erection of an other building at Ihe norlh end of the headquarters sile as had ings cannot properly house the been projected in the original many necessary functions that U.N. scheme. are causing increasing pros It warns that existing build- sures, such as staff recreational FREE CHRISTMAS TREES! .
