I had quite a job the other
day explaining to one Of my
readers why her handsomely
bound set of Dickens was
worth very little commercially
while a ragged old Western
pamphlet I had mentioned in
the column was worth a four
figure price.
1t was simply a case of sup
ply and demand. There are
thousands of Dickens sets in
existence, but no more than
half q dozen copies of the
pamphlet in question.
Here is another Western
item to look out for Rand
all Hewitt's account of his
mule team trip from East to
West in 1862. The title page
reads, in part:
NOTES BY THE WAY.
MEMORANDA OF A
JOURNEY ACROSS THE
PLAINS. From Dundee,
Ill, to Olympia, w. T.
BY R. H. Hewitt.
Olympia: =. 1868.
This is a 58-page paper
bound and the text is set in
double columns. A fine copy
is worth a minimum of 81 900
and probably much more in
the present collectors market

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Sept. 20.-The United States
and the Soviet Union today
reported to the General AS
sembly they had been unable
to agree on the composition of
an international group to begin
negotiations toward general
disarmament.
The two governments did
produce, however, a set of
principles which were INTENDED
to provide the framework in
which negotiations would be
undertaken.
Still In Stalemate
American officials claimed
the Soviet Union had COM
mitted itself to a more effective
inspection and control system
for general disarmament than
in the past.
But the failure to agree on
a negotiating group left the
disarmament problem at the
stalemate where It has been
since the 18th General AS
sembly adjourned last spring.
The Soviet Union has not
budsed from its opening de-
mand that the disarmament
commission conform to the
three-bloc or "troika" formula
first advanced by Soviet Pre-
mier Khrushchev at the United
Nations last September.
The Soviet Union insisted on
a. l5-nation forum, with five
nations representing the West,
five from the Soviet bloc, and
five from the uncommitted
powers.
Alternative Forums
The United States offered
four alternative forums rang
ing from the former donation
committee all the way to a 90
nation grouping with represen-
tation for all United Nations
members.
The Joint statement Of prin-
ciple puts emphasis on dis
banding of armed forces" of all
nations and elimination of all
stockpiles Of nuclear. chemical.
meteorological and other weap.
onS of mass destruction. ~
Also declared to be among
the aims of total disarmament
are the elimination of all
means of delivery" of mass
destruction weapons and the
abolition of all military train
ing institutions. ..-
The eight-point statement of
principles put the United States
firmly on record as accepting
the Soviet-promoted concept of
general and complete disarm-
ament." -.... -..

u. N. Short Of Funds
AS Nations Fail to Pay

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Sept. 20 (AP).-The crisis of
the United Nations is not only
one of men but also one Of
money.
The prophecy of the late
Secretary General Dag Ham
marskjold was that the organi-
zation will be virtually with
out funds by the end of this
month.
The trouble is that too many
U. N. members have not paid
their shares of the cost of
running the U. N. forces in the
Middle East and the Congo.
The General Assembly must
deal with the financial crisis
in its 10Th annual session.
which is also confronted with
a U. N. military-p political crisis
in the Congo.
Proposed Appropriation
Mr. Hammarskjold had made
his prophecy in advance of
the session as he proposed that
the assembly appropriate $73,-
$50, 500 as the regular U. N.
budget for 1862, compared with
the $72,969,300 appropriated
for this year.
But they were called on to
pay more than twice that for
The U. N. military operations-
SI0,989,89o for the U. N.
emergency force in the Middle
East tog ali 1861 ana $148,-
50J,U0U 4or the v. N. folce IN
the Congo from July 1861
CiIrougn 1861.
The latest accounts show that
by the end of last month,
tney had paid only 80 per cent
OF what tney owed to keep up
the Middle East force ana only
so per cent of what they owed
to keep the Congo force
though they had put in 81 per
cent Of their dues for the reg
uIar ouoget.
In his buoget proposals, Mr..
HammarskjoId warned that un-
less there was more financial
support by early next year, il
would be impossible to keep the
.Wo ToIceS going even on a
-eouced scale"
he toresaw that the United
Nations would be almost out of
cash by September 80 and would
have to start borrowing again
from special trust funos, as it
has a few times in the last
year.
He said that unless the as
sembly found some way of get
ting governments to pay up,
the United Nations could an
ticipate cash deficits of $40 mil
lien by December 81 and up to
$50 million by June 80.
For this year, only IS of the
go U. N member countries have
paid anything toward the Congo
