At the II. NJ:
Congo Debate

The u. N. General Assembly
yesterday recessed without a
vote on seating the Congo dele
cation headed by President
. Joseph Kasavubu.
The troubled, strife-ridden Con-
go was the main object of U. N.
attention all last week as the
Assembly strove to settle the ques-
ton of credentials for the Congo
delegation.
The Credentials Committee over
a week ago recommended to the
As;embly that the delegation
headed by President Kasavubu be
recognized as the legitimate repre-
sentation to the U. N. But the
Soviet Union, Ghana, Guinea. In
dia, Mali, and other nations of the
Soviet and Afro Asian blocs fought
hard for the rival delegation loyal
to ousted Premier Patrice Lu-
mumba.
The General Assembly has al
ready demonstrated that when the
Soviet and Afro-Asian blocs vote
together, they have their way. But
the Congo question debates last
week disclosed no unanimity among
the Afro-Asian. nations, and this
time the West was able, although
narrowly, to put up strong fight.

Kennedy:
A Real Helper

President elect Kennedy last
week conferred separately with
Vice President Nixon and Sena-
tor johnson as his aides began
meeting with Eisenhower ad-
ministration officials on tranfer-
Of-authority problems.
1T is my belief that Senator
Johnson's great talents and ex-
perisnce ealip him to be- the most
effective Vice President in the his
tory of orr country" y
These words Of high praise were
uttered by President-elect Ken
needy on Thursday after a day of
policy talks and deer hunting at
the johnson ranch in Texas.
They were not uttered as polite
talk from guest to host. They
were the opening sentence of q
statement which appeared to be
aimed at quashing liberal fears
and conservative hopes that the
closeness of Mr.. Kennedy's VIC
tory over Vice President Nixon will
produce compromises of cam
paign and platform promises for
progressive legislation.
Mr.. Kennedy told reporters that
he and Mr.. johnson shall work
closely together in meeting our
respective responsibilities" and
added that the Texan "can be of
great assistance in implementing
our commitments to the Ameri-
can people"

Outward Flow

The unfavorable balance of
payments. despite a remarkable
increase of perhaps Is per cent in
our exports over imports. con-
tinued apace in 1860. In the july
September quarter, foreign gov
ernments and banks rushed to
convert their dollar earnings into
gold and the outward flow of the
precious metal Spurted sharply.
The cause for the unfavorable
balance is easy to pinpoint: Aid
to foreign governments: spending
abroad by American citizens and
the flow of so-called "hot money"
money sent forth in search of
higher interest rates offered by
European banks.
Last week. Mr.. Eisenhower at
tackled the problem on two fronts:
!. He announced. at an Augusta
news conference, series of seven
steps calculated to save 81 billion
year in spending abroad.
2. He directed Secretary Of the
Treasury Anderson and Undersec-
rotary Of State Dillon to go to
Bonn to talk with West German
officials about stepping up its aid

a reduction of military dependents
abroad from 1000 to a maxi
