To Mr.. Herter::
War on u. NJ

Secretary of State Herter re-
sponded quickly and forcefully to
MI Khrushchev's attack on the
United Nations. He was Joined
by the usually amiable but al
ways astute Ambassador James
j. Wadsworth, chief United States
representative at the U. N in
angry retorts to the Soviet Pre-
mier's charges.
Mr.. Herter, who had listened
impassively through the long
Khrushchev speech. rose briskly
at its conclusion and walked to
the desk of the Secretary Cen
eral. He talked at some length
with Mr.. Hammarskjold and As
sembly President Frederick H.
Boland. He told the Foreign
Press Association later in the day
that he had asked the U. N.
officials if Assembly rules per-
mitted a call for an immediate
vote of confidence in the Secre.
tary General.
Il very much wanted to do
this" Mr.. Herter declared, but
Mr.. Boland explained that such
a move was impossible without
regular parliamentary procedure
based on a formal resolution.
Visibly and thoroughly irri-
tated. Mr.. Herter described the
Khrushchev remarks as "an all
out attack, a real declaration Of
war against the structure, per-
sonnel and location of the United
Nations"
Mr.. WadSworth took the As
sembly floor to declare:
THE United Nations is in a
crisis" he said, first through the
effort of the Soviet Union to turn
the worlds greatest body for
peace into a propaganda forum
to serve the interests of Com
munist imperialism.
In Washington. the White
House said the President would
have no formal statement to
make, but made it plain that
he supported the Herter and
Wadsworth stand completely.

THE WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
Two Worlds: United Nations Style

forecast a major and decisive
battle between East and West
over the future role of the U. N.
in world affairs.
Since it was apparent that Mr..
Khrushchev was making a strong
bid for Afro-Asian support for
Soviet bloc policies, and on the
other hand the United States and
the Western bloc were pressing
for increased support for the U. N.
in its peacemaking endeavors in
Africa, there was much specula-
tion that the Soviet drive may be
intended to gradually reduce the
U. N. to International impotence,
replacing it with bloc unity in
which the neutralist and Afro
Asian nations. and in Moscow's
hopes, later Latin America, whould
stand together against a dwin-
ding Western alliance.

Ripping Attack

In a ripping attack reminiscent
of the "old Nixon" the Vice Presl-
dent said Mr.. Kennedy was not
serving the cause Of peace and
freedom by "distorting" the facts
about Americas military and eco
nomic strength. He referred to
the Bostonian as spokesman
. for national disparagement."
That was not all. Without
mentioning the Democratic can
didate by name, Mr.. Nixon sug-
gested that the Senator had ao-
vocated policies which might
serve "the cause of surrender"
He alluded to the Kennedy OBJ
servation that President Eisen-
hover might have saved the
summit meeting last May if he
had expressed regrets" to Pre-
mier Khrushchev over the U-2
reconnaissance plane incident. To
have followed this suggestion
would have been naive" and "a
mistake of the greatest magni-
tude," the Vice President asserted.
To underscore his contention
that United States prestige is not
suffering, Mr.. Nixon cited the re-
cent vote in the United Nations
Evening star., 1960-09-25

to create the impression that he
was against discussing foreign af-
fairs and the United States posi-
ton in the world during the cam
paign. But he charged that the
Communists were exploiting Ken
nedy statements about Americas
strength. and warned:
If Senator Kennedy intends to
address himself to Mr.. Khru-
shchev and the Communist lead
ers. I say the American people will
hold him accountable for his
words"
Both candidates during the
week addressed themselves to do
mestic issues, too, including labor
and farm problems.

Assembly. President Eisenhower
in his formal speech called for
increased support of the U. N. as
a world instrument for peace.
ITO support the United Ma
tions organization and its prop
erly constituted mechanismS and
it's selected officers is the road Of
greatest promise in peaceful prog
ress," the President told the As
Sembly.
Mr.. Eisenhower'S speech offered
no unusual new proposals or pol
icies. While it was mild in tone
and certainly unprovocative. it
contained no hint that the Pres
ident was considering any per-
sonal approach to a renewal of re-
lations with the Soviet Premier.
There was one proposal in the

The United Nations General
Assembly last week saw the
most notable assemblage of ma
tiOnal leaders in modern history
gathered together. Both Presi-
dent Eisenhower and Soviet
Prime Minister Khrushchev ad-
dressed the Assembly, and their
remarks were a gauge of the
temperature of the cold war to
the distinguished diplomats and
correspondents present in the
great pastel-tinted chamber that
serves the worlds only interna-
tiOnal forum.
"Conciliatory," said Nikita
Khrushchev when a reporter asked
his opinion of Dwight D. Eisen-
hower's address on Thursday to

Immediately after he waded'

conference in the Plaza's suite re-
served for the Togo party. Despite
the chilly welcome vouchsafed by
the dowagers as he entered. he
seemed his usual jovial self and
responded readily to questions, al
though not always unequivocally.
Besides the comment that the
Presidents address had been con-
ciliatory," he limited strongly that
any real overtures from the White
House for personal talks between
himself and Mr.. Eisenhower would
find favorable reply. Answering
a reporters question, he said that
when there will be boldness and
initiative, there will be a reply"

On Encouragement

Mr.. Kennedy, who earlier prom
ised to move in the first 80 days
of his administration to outdo the
Soviet by strengthening our mill
tary power, aiding underdeveloped
countries and warning on poverty
at home, would have none of the
Vice Presidents bid for truce on

in others. I am used to doing
that. I wish that it were not
necessary for me to do this.
don't want to do it. But I'm
convinced that it is necessary
and that the party and voters
be alerted.
And I would remind those,
who might be tempted to Jump
to the wrong conclusion, that
I did my best in 1856 to warn
against a closed convention and
the danger Of disregarding the
deliberative process we must
maintain in Democratic con-
ventions.

mistake twice in a row.
Let the Democratic conven-
ton nominate a man who not
only can be elected but who
will know what to do to pull the
country out of the difficulties we

ina eTcerptS from the QueS-,
today:
cal heights to which you are
destined to rise.
Il am deeply concerned and
troubled about the situation we
are up against in the world now
and in the immediate future.
That is why I would hope that
someone with the greatest pos
sible maturity and experience
would be available at this time.
May I urge you to be patient? ?
You will recall that I suggested
to you at our meeting in Inde-
pendence that all personal am
billions be put aside and that
we all join forces to seek out
such a man, who could unite
US in purpose and in action"
And I would say to the dele
gates that the Democrats must
not make the mistake of freez-
ing out men who by their public
service and record have proved
themselves worthy of fair con-
sideration by an unbound con-
vention. I feel strongly that the
Democratic convention owes it
to the people to arrive at its
choice after due deliberation
no matter how long it takes.
LaudS Symington
I have already given, after
long consideration, my per-
sonal Endorsement to the can
didacy of Senator Stuart SYM
ington from my own State of
Missouri. His record in fulfill
ing major executive Offices and
assignments during my ad-
ministration is exceptionally
high. His voting record in the
United States Senate is not
only in keeping with the best
traditions Of the Democratic
Party but completely without
one single blemish of reaction
ary thought.
Senator Symington's courage
during the days of Mccarthy
ism is typical of the man and
transcends the eloquence Of
the spoken word.
In indorsing Senator SYM
ington I felt that we could
elect him because he would
have the important advantage
of united party. I would like
to have been at the conven-
ton at Los Angeles to second
his nomination.
But since the overriding i'm
portance at this time is the
necessity for an open conven-
ton, we must be absolutely
certain that all our good men
be properly sized up on the
convention floor, before a final
choice is made.
Johnson Praised
One good man who deserves
the serious consideration of the
convention is the majority
leader Of the Senate, Lyndon
B. johnson. Senator johnson
has grown in skill and esteem
in his service to the Nation and
the party. He has made a deep
impression on the country, and
no self-appointed spokesman
