The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-07-13

gets going. After that, he has been designated as U. s. representative on the top, 11-nation Security Council and as head of the i've man delegation which will represent this country in the 50-nation Gen. eral Assembly.
 In all, there will probably be sev- eral hundred members of the U. s. delegation at UNO headquarters if you count the deputies, alternates, technical experts, tranSlatorS, sec retaries and military men. But there will be about 10 top jobs - one member of the Security Coun- cil, one or two members of the Councils Military Staff Committee of generals and admirals, five mem- bers of the General Assembly, prob ably one member of the Economic and Social Council, one member of the Trusteeship Council, one mem- . Der of the International Court of Justice.
 TITLES STILL UNDECIDED
 These top men will probably have the rank of ambassadors, or may be Stettinius will rank as an am- bassador, and the others-none of whom has yet been named-Will be ministers. There is no protocol to decide what they will be called-Mr. Ambassador, MT. Minister, MT. Councillor, MT Assemblyman, MT. Member or what. Their pay has not been determined, either. Ambassa- dors now get $17,500 and ministers get $10,000 and $12,000 a year plus living allowances overseas.
 MT. Stettinius will officially be holding two of these jobs as mem Der of the Security Council and head of the flve-man delegation to the General Assembly, though he'll get only one paycheck He'll have plenty to do on the Council job. Provision is made in the charter that he can turn in his Council seat over to somebody else say the President, or the Secretary of State, or some ambassador or general or admiral - whenever there is some particular subject to be discussed on which the other fellow is better qualified to speak.
 This Council of II members will really be the most exclusive club in the world.' Representatives of the Big Five - United States, Great Britain, Soviet Russia, France and China will sit in the Council as permanent members. the other six to be chosen by the General As Sembly for two-year terms without the right to succeed themselves. The Council will be organized to do bus mess at all times, moving its meet ing place around to wherever it has work to do and can do the most good at its principal job, which is to maintain world peace and secur- ity.
 Just how much authority Council member Stettinius will have in com- mitting the United States to deci- SionS of the Security Council has hot been determined, and will be settled only when Congress passes enabling legislation, after the char ter is ratified, authorizing the Uni ted States to participate in UNO and providing money to pay the salaries, travel expenses, and bills for paper clips, scratch pads, and files.
 CAN ALWAYS CHECK
 WITH HOME
 It is likely that all U. S. repre- sentatives to the United Nations Organization will be given pretty broad powers, though there is some cagy opposition to that. The idea isn't as dangerous as it sounds at first, because the trans oceanic in- ternational telephone, radio con- munication and the airplane now seem here to stay and it would be only a matter of minutes or hours before any representative at UNO headquarters could find out how the home government felt about things and get his signals straight for the next play in any interna- tional game. In addition to which any representative of any country who tried to commit his govern ment to course of action which wouldn't have support at home would be bigger chump than has yet been born.
