seerS, there is at last time to
think of the effect which the
frantic events of the last month
have had on the United Nations,
itself.
Among those who have lived
through this period and taken
part in shaping the results.
there are starkly contradictory
impressions. Some speak of a
sense of excitement and almost
explosive development of an Or
ganization often sneered' at in
the past as a debating society"
Today the enthusiasts once again
are hailing the U. N. as a major
force in world affairs. From some
of the talk, one might imagine
that the era of order and broth
erhood so heroically drawn by
u. N. muralists is just around
the corner.
Others, like Senator Know
land, who took part in the re-
cent action as a member of the
United States delegation. are
still convinced that no miracle
has happened. To them. the U. N,
is. unfortunately, still "impotent
to do anything but pass resolu-
tons and carry on months OF
debate" - hopelessly ineffective

lenges to world peace.

Tells Austria
u. Will Do
Full Share

VIENNA, Dec. 10 (P.-Vice
President Richard M. Nixon held
out the hope to Austrians today
of additional United States aid
in handling refugees from Soviet
oppression.
The Vice President arrived by
plane for a three-day study Of
the refugee flood created BY the
Hungarian revolt. 4Austrians
would like the United States to
take additional refugees off their
hands and to extend financial
help in caring for them.
In an airport statement Mr..
Nixon said:
I'VE are fully determined to
do our full share in meeting the
needs which have grown out Of
the refugee problem"
He said he hoped to obtain
estimates of the financial as
sistance Austria needs to deal
with the problem. as well as
accurate information "as to the
number Of refugees the United
States should be prepared to re-
ceive."

we recognize that much remains
to be done-and we are fully
determined to do our full share
lin meeting the needs which
have grown out of the refugee
problem"
Mr.. Nixon praised the manner
lin which the Austrians had
taken in nearly 100000 refugees
since Oct. 20, describing it as
selfiess. He said President Eisen-
, hover and the American people
we're filled with admiration"

The story begins while he was

describes himself as a small and

teacher believed whole-heartcdly

looked straight at young William

Young William felt a thrill at
being challenged in such a manner,
and a train of events followed. He
began to exercise more, to spend
more time in the out of doors, to
eat a more balanced diet. His health
began to improve, along with his
