answer to Premier Khrushchev
was one Of the main points on
the agenda which ranged across
the whole spectrum of foreign
policy questions.
Mr.. Herter still hopes to
find q way to administer q
quick rebuff to the Soviet Pre-
mier's declaration Of war" on
the United Nations and its
Secretary General. The method
has not been decided.
The General Assembly is
master Of its own procedures,
however, and there is q pos
sibility that the United States
and its partners will try to in
errupt the long list Of distin-
guiShed speakers for q quick
vote Of confidence In Mr.. Ham,
merskjold.
When such q move might be
made depends largely on how
quickly the smooth-working
United States mission here
could line up an impressive vote
in the newly expanded 96-na-
ton Assembly.
The United States hopes to
win the neutral powers over to
an indorSemeent Of the United
Nations as now constituted. The
neutraliStS to be augmented
tomorrow by their traditional
leader, Prime Minister Nehru Of
India, were on the other hand,
trying to capture the West for
support Of their own middle
way.
In the opening debate
speeches, the United States ex-
pected the great majority Of
world leaders to speak out in
favor Of the United Nations as
now organized.
Space Conquest Expected
There was speculation that
the Soviet Union might be
planning to add new force to
its already formidable often
Sive by announcing some spec
tacular new Soviet success in
space-perhaps the sending Of
q man into orbit.
Radio Moscow was reported
late yesterday to have asked
ham radio operators to be on
the alert next Tuesday for what
it was said would be q mo.
mentous day in the history Of
the world.
Despite all the forebodings,
British officials insisted Mr..
KhruShchev had overplayed his
hand. They expected the U. N.
would register strong anti-So-
Wet votes on most Of Premier
KhruShchev'S proposals. II
It was hoped the 70-out-of-
80 proportion against the So ,
Wet Union on the Congo last
Monday could be matched in
the enlarged 96-vote Assembly. II
Khrushchev'S Risk
II the Soviet bloc were head
ed for another such defeat, the |
question arose, why would Mr..
KhruShchev risk advancing his :
plans to reorganize the U. N. II
and transfer its headquarters !
out Of New York to Switzer- {
land, Austria or Russia? Is
At q minimum, delegation
and U. N. Secretariat oficials ,
speculated d. Premier Khru- {
shchev could respond to an
other big rebuff by refusing to
deal with Secretary General {
Hammerskjold. I
At a maximum he could pull {
the Soviet bloc delegations out |
Of the United Nations en- masse. Z
Few could believe, however, I
that Mr.. Khrushchev was ready
to carry his campaign that far. ,
Castro Khrushchev Tie /
The developing friendship
between Cuba'S Premier Castro
and Mr.. KhruShchev was one
Of the most intriguing aspects
Of the Inomentous General AS
sembly session which is sched-
uled to complete Its first week
with a full day Of speeches
Monday.
Rumor had it that the Cuban
leader planned to speak for
four hours Monday afternoon,
thoroughly topping Premier
Khrushchev'S Friday record Of
two hours and 20 minutes.
Last night Premier Castro
spent five hours at the Soviet
mission on Park avenue with
Premier Khrushchev. Later it
was reported the Cuban revolu-
tionary had participated by
telephone in a Havana cabinet
session conducted by his
brother, Maj. Raul Castro.
Cuba Recognizes Red China
Some officials here wondered ,
If the call was placed from the
Soviet mission and whether
Premier Khrushchev partici-
pated indirectly. This morning
the Cuban government an
nounced from Havana the rec
