COUP
in The-
Dafs lews
By FRANK JENKINS
Thoughts in retrospect:
When United Nations was put
together in San Francisco back in
1945, in the glow of happiness that
followed the ending of the most
terrible war the world had yet
seen, some grave and fateful mis
takes were made.
For example:
In that happy hour, no one fore
saw that SOMEDAY, with the;
world again in turmoil, the secretary-general
of United Nations,
the executive head of the organi
zation, might suddenly DIE nat
urally or violently.
As a result, the situation the
world now faces is comparab'e
with the situation our own coun
try would face if our Founding
Fathers had made no workable
provision to replace immediately
the President of the United
States if he should die suddenly
by violence or naturally with a
war just breaking out or threa
cning to break out at any mo
ment. . How does UN choose a sccre'a-ry-gcneral?
Nominations must first be made
by the security council. The se
curity council consists of eleven
members. Each member of the
security council has one volt.
Decisions on matters of proce
dure, such as calling meetings,
are made by the vote of any
seven members. Decisions on ALL
OTHER matters (including nom
inations) are made by the votes of
ALL the five PERMANENT mem-
bers.
Which is to say, the vote of
ANY permanent member can
balk a decision. So, it follows.
ONE permanent member of the
security council, which includes
Russia, can prevent a nomination
from being made. If there are no
nominations, there can be no elec
tion of a secretary-general.
That is the situation we face
in trying to choose a successor 10
able, courageous, dedicated Dag
Hammarskjold. Russia, hating
Hammarskjold because he WAS
able, courageous, dedicated to the
welfare of the world, and FAIR
is determined to see to it that
no man of his caliber ever sits
again in the secretary-general s
seat of power.
Russia's single vote in the se
curity council can prevent a nom
inalion from being made, and thus
can stymie the whole process of
replacing a deceased chief execu
tive officer.
If there are no nominations
there can be no election..
Another thought in retrospect:
. When United Nations was put
together back in 1945, the world
wasn't yet READY for the RIGHT
kind of world organization to ir
sure justice and keep the peace.
The UN charter, as adopted at
San Francisco, was put together
with crossed fingers. The evidence
of that is the VETO POWER. The
Russians were the leaders of the
veto power. They foresaw that a
powerful, efficient UN could head
off their designs for communist
conquest of the world. They
shrewdly foresaw that the veto
power could be immensely usefil
to them.
But we loo were not without
fault. We too feared that a time
might come when trouble could
ensue for us. At this distance
memory is foggy. But most of!
us who can remember back to
that time must agree that WE
might not have been willing to
accept UN without holding in our
hands the power tb veto UN de
cisions that we might not like.
: So-
- The confused and fuzzy thinkin:
of that day. nearly two decadrs
ago, has come around to plague
us. A leader who was a great
leader, a courageous and dedici,
ed leader did die in action. How
to replace him is the problem.
It is a tough one.

Hurricane Loses Fury
Near Cape Cod Coast
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Hurricane Esther apparently
tiring from her long journey from
the tropics lost her vicious fury
today as she ncared Cape Cod
and offshore Massachusetts islands.
The weather station at Otis Air
Force Base reported, "the eye of
the hurricane has closed, winds
are diminishing fast and Cape
Cod may have no hurricane at
all."
The Weather Bureau observa
tion station at Hyanms Airport
still referred to the storm as
hurricane.
Otis weather officials said the
center of the storm was 35 miles
south of Martha's Vineyard when
the eye disappeared.
Otis has radar facilities which
permit observers to track the path
of the storm and determine its
strength.

Schultz noticed the cloud Sept

Schultz, flying from Kotzebue to

estimated the cloud was about 400

Gromvko gave no advance sign

Rusk, who took the initiative In1
