very expert in the management of the nlGquGhuiA,

was used as a granary, and others as warehouses

There was, also, an immense aviary, in which
birds of splendid plumage were assembled from all

the golden pheasant the endless parrot tribe with
their rainbow hues (the royal green predominant)

furnished the materials for the Aztec painter.
A separate building was reserved for the fierce

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Sept. 21.-The United Nations
General Assembly approached
its debate on cold war issues
today amid indications that the
spokesmen for the opposing
forces in that struggle-Presi-
dent Eisenhower and Soviet
Premier Khrushchev - would
not meet face to face.
Mr.. Eisenhower will address
the 96-nation Assembly tomor-
row. A scheduled announced
by American sources here to-
day allows for only little more
than an hour in the meeting
hall. Since much of that time
will be taken UP by speech,
which is to begin about IL am,
observers here saw little pros
pect of any kind of meeting
between the leaders of East
and West.
Yugoslavia's Marshal Tito is
due to speak after the Presi-
dent tomorrow. Premier Khru-
shchev is scheduled to speak
Friday. Arrangements for Pres
ident Eisenhower's entry into
the Assembly hall had not been
worked out, American officials
here said. so it was not known
if the President will take a seat
at the United States delega-
tion'S table.
Soviet Premier Khrushchev
is seated far enough away so
they would not ordinarily con-
front one another.
No Contact Yet
There is always. a possibility,
however, that Mr.. KhrushcheY
will simply walk up to the
American delegations table. So
far there has been no contact
between the American and So
Wet delegations in the Assem-
bly, hall.
American officials said they
had received no overtures from
the Soviet delegation for a
KhruShchev-Ei Eisenhower meet
ing. And it was not known for
certain that Mr.. Khrushchey
would be present for the Eisen-
hover speech.
Mr.. Eisenhower's speech is
expected to take between 20 to
80 minutes. If he begins about
II o'clock his 1890 luncheon
date with 18 Latin American
leaders would preclude any
long stay. There are no plans
for President Eisenhower to
return to the United Nations.
although he is to spend the
night at the Waldorf Towers.
New Members Speak
The General Assembly met
for about two hours this morn
ing to hear the IA new member
states in their maiden speeches.
Mr.. Khrushchev arrived well
ahead of time until about noon
listening to some of the 13 new
African states foreign minis
ters. Then he returned to the
Soviet Mission at $50 Park

The General Assembly was
to reconvene at 3 pm. to dis

dents and then adjourn so that
