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

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.

permit the desired expansion.
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
