 This Nation

WASHINGTON, Oct. B Rus sias request for Sl,0O0, ,00O 0OO American loan appears doomed to- day unless Soviet leaders cease their criticism of United States foreign economic policy.
 Similarly, Czechoslovakia and Poland may find it difficult to win approval of their requests for loans totaling S85O,OO0 900 from the Am erican- n-dominated world bank.
 Secretary of State Byrnes him. self made clear at his news con- ference yesterday that the United States will limit it's future financial aid to friendly countries who do not brand dollar credits as instru- ments of economic enslavement.

 Father Knickerbocker is holding out the glad hand to the phalanx Of diplomats assembled for this af- ternoons opening session of the United Nations General Assembly
 The statesmen were taken on a typical New York ticker-tape par ade this morning to City Hall reception, followed by an elabor- ate luncheon at the Waldorf.
 At 4:30, eastern time. this after noon they will be addressed by President Truman and tonight there will he a white tie and tails reception which the President is giving the delegates from the 5l nations.
 Delegates Gather
 Delegates of the 5l nations will Sdllltl III lhSiilils htaAoW oi n, New York this afternoon to hear President Truman open the first great LIN Assembly on American soil.

Secretary of State James Byrnes already is on hand for the opening of the LIN General As sembly.
 Foreign Loans
 Before leaving Washington, Sec retary Byrnes reaffirmed this coun- try's attitude on making a loan to foreign nations Byrnes has serv- cd notice on the rest O. the word that the United States is willing to help out--but that it's resources are not limitless. And further, says Byrnes, America doesn't want to loan any nation money if that na- tion believes it will be enslaved economically by the United States as a result. Thus, Russia's request for a oOo,000,000 American loan appears doomed unless Soviet lead CTS quit their criticism of American economic foreign policy.
 A crowd estimated at l75,000 saw the procession frequently i'll sil- ence. Here and there polite ap- plause cracked along the side walks as Assembly President Paul. Henri Spaak, Molotov and others passed in their limousines.
