Secretary Marsha!rs opening statement at the United Nations, cas;igating Russia and the veto, was the most carefully written Of his life. It was rewritten five times.

 But after Marshall got to New York, the speech was rewritten again with the cooperation of Her schel Johnson, U s. Deputy Dele gate to the U. N, who has had to suffer the slings and arrows of Gromyko's scorn, and who doesn't believe in pulling punches. Salient portions of the speech were then radioed to the U.S.S.

But now that he has the reins firmly in lis hand Marshall still shuns the old Republican tradition of regular press conferences.
 Frank E. Kellogg used to say that he profited more from press conferences than the press, because the barrage of news papermen' questions kept him in tune with the nations thinking.

with the staunch support of

ITO compare this Nation OF today

its problems were no less or no greter
than ours of today. We of this
