However, he did not consider
this a bad development. Indeed"
Mr.. Eban said, "a disservice may
have been done to the United Ma
tions by the unrealistic emphasis
originally placed upon it's coercive
powers. We have become a forum
for Cancellation and not, as origin
ally conceived, an instrument for
the enforcement of security by
collective action" He went on to
add: Instead of relying on a u
unanimous concert of Great Pow
ers we have had to operate with
no weapon but the moral force
of majority recommendation. In
stead of maintaining a structure
of collective force, we have de-
veloped institutions with the main
emphasis on Cancellation and pa
cific settlement. In other words,
the Israel representative declared
that the United Nations had be-
come "a collective diplomat in
stead of a collective policeman"

AT Colonel Sets
New Speed Mark
At 822 M.P.H.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 5 CP.--
An Air Force colonel has bet
tered the official world air speed
record by more than 10 miles
per hour by streaking high over
the California desert at an aver
age speed of 822.135 M.P.H.,
North American Aviation said
today.
The pilot, Col. Horace A.
Hanes, set the new mark Au-
gust 90 in two high altitude runs
IN an F-100C Super Sabre jet
fighter over Edwards Air Force
Base. The runs were at 87O.627
and 773.644 M.P.H.
His eight-mile high flight
over an 18-kilometer Q1-mile)
course-was the first record run
at a speed faster than that of
sound.
The old record of 755 M.P.H.
was set October 20, 1858, in low
level runs over CALIFORNIA; Sal
ton Sea by 1t. Col. F. K. (Pete)
Everest, flying an F-100A over
a 15-kilometer course.
Col. Haynes was to make a
token flight in his plane today
at Philadelphia at the National
Aircraft Show before being pre-
scented with the Thompson Tro-
ply for his feat. His flight
will be in lieu of the Thompson
Trophy race, which is not being
held this year.

Czechoslovakia announced a cut
of $4,000 and Romania cut of

How have the changes worked out? What prob
