Mr.. Lie and his staff incidentally have
their share of headaches since most of UN's
perplexing mail passes through the Secretary
Generals Office So far the UN has received
well over a hundred musical compost
tions dedicated to its well-being. They
range all the way from solemn anthems and
marches down to lighter items such as "UN,
l Love YOU and The UN Waltz" These
are all carefully filed away, but it is doubtful
that UN will ever adopt an official song.
Opening Number?
LAST October, dance team from Brooklyn
offered to open the General Assembly with
an act on top of 60 foot pole They pointed
out that their repertoire would include
dances of many nations" The Secretary
Generals Office declined the offer, explaining
that it just so happened the President of the
United States planned to open the Assembly
- though not on top of pole.
fore, difficult to answer. A perfectly sincere
lady writes in asking UN to adopt measures
that will insure humane treatment of ami
mails the world over. A Midwestern farmer
writes that his house has burned down and
he needs help. Such people obviously do not
understand the scope of the organization
On the other hand. there are the frankly
zaney letters. A lady insists that all the dele
gates must become vegetarians before world
peace can be assured. A man claims he is en-
peror of several Western states and that UN
owes him four years back salary.
The protocol section is another branch of
the UN that has its exacting problems

The Housing Division threw up its hands
in despair at such a contract. Nevertheless,
it has proved an excellent instrument - the
tenant and landlady get along beautifully.

The wealthy Saudi Arabian delegates are
one group who don't have to worry about
high hotel expenses. During their stay at the
Waldorf Astoria, the management considered
them extremely desirable guests. Not only
we're they very quiet, but because of their
religion they did not even smoke or drink.
Strangely, when the Saudi Arabians first ar
rived, they were bit upset because uN Off
cials told newspaper reporters where they
were staying. 1t is hard to understand how
they expected to keep their whereabouts
secret for long, since they walked about the
hotel in white sheeting and headdresses.
The UN Housing Division has problems
that even surpass those of the Hotel Section.
The Housing Divisions job is to find rooms,
apartments or houses for the some 1000
Office workers who are stationed at Lake Sue
cess In the midst of a national housing short
age, this is a gigantic undertaking, but so far,
no UN worker has been forced to sleep on

Auto Seller 5 Market
Unhealthy for Nation,
Ford Tells Press Club

The present sellers market is as
distasteful |. to the Ford Motor Co.
as to would-be buyers clamoring for
new automobiles, and can't end any
too soon for the company's 29-year-
old president, Henry Ford II.
Mr.. Ford told National Press
Club audience here yesterday that
dealers who take advantage of cur
rent scarcities are "only cutting
their own throats, and will live to
rue the day" they squeezed extra
profits out of the market with com
pulsory extras" and similar devices.
According to our way Of thinking
the buyers market can't come any
too soon," Mr.. Ford continued.
Competitive industry can't fully
flourish when the seller is calling
the tune. That's a fat, unhealthy
situation in real industrial democ-
racy. Under this system of ours, the
customer always has to come first" "
Mr.. Ford said the 10000 cars
and trucks his company had turned
out since VI Day were only q small
percentage Of what could have been
done with sufficient supplies.
He expressed the conviction that
the 1,778,259 orders the company
now has on the books are only as
sound" as the company can make
them by keeping down prices.
THE major job OF our company or
any company I know today" he
said, "is to get habby sales muscles
in shape for the punching competi-
ton ahead"
With this company about to enter
negotiations for labor contracts az
fecting most of its 10000 employees,
Mr.. Ford said in response to a ques-
ton that this Is the time to keep
the Government out of labor con-
troveries 100 per cent" He said
he doubted if industrialists could
solve difficulties with their employees
in any other way than by direct
negotiation with "their own people -
Asked if he favored forced Federal
mediation in mass production indus
tries, Mr.. Ford replied he believed in
the right of the employees to strike
"if that's what they want to do
He commented on proposed labor
legislation only in the general sense
that all affected parties should
have equality under the law"

French Accord Likely
On German Steel Plan
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Aug. %. - Well-in-
formed conference sources said to-
day the French-eager to brighten
the prospects for the Marshall aid
program for Europe-were ready to
relax their former uncompromising
attitude against boosting German
steel production.
A tri-power conference on raising
the levels Of German industry en-
tered its second day today and
qualified informants said the French
were ready to accept a reasonable
compromise on steel production.
A British-American plan written
several weeks ago repeatedly called
for raising western Germany's steel
output.
The Russians previously had pro-
tested against holding the confer
ence at all, contending that the
level of German industrial produc-
ton had been fixed at Potsdam.
One well-informed source here
said the main French desire is tc
keep Germany's steel output well
below that of France and that they
probably would accept some COM
promise which would relate French
and German steel production ir
fixed ratio on a sliding scale.
This Informant said the French
delegation would like to wind ur
the conference by the middle Of
next week at the latest. but thai
they do not want to leave without
an agreement.
