Kennedy Tells JUN. That US. Has the Will and Weapons to Resist Aggression

UNITED NATIONS, NY. R President Kennedy told the Unit ed Nations today the United States has 'qboth the will and the weap- onso to resist aggression. He chal- lenged the Communist world to drop the arms race in favor of a sspeace race"
 The President, in an address alternatively tough on conciliatory told the Soviet Union the United States believes a peaceful agree ment is possible for the central world crisis, that of divided Ber- lin. But he added that threat of force must be rejected, because yielding to threats can only lead 10 war"
 The Presidents address cover ed tsh.se broad spectrum of crises confronting a frightened world. He proposed six-point disarma- ment plan and called for the cre- ation of a JUN. peace force.
 Kennedy urged the small na- tions of the world to rally behind the United Nations and defeat eff forts to impose @Troika" system of three-man control over it's po- lice power.
 The Troika, he said, would z replace order with anarchy, action with paralysis and confidence with gross confusion"
 Applause dotted the 38-minute speech.
 None came from the Soviet delegation, headed by Foreign Minister Gromyko. It's members sat impassivaly, joining only politely in the applause that greet ed Kenedy's entrance.
 The President told the 99-na- tion General Assembly the Unit ed Nations very life is at stake in the issue raised by the death Fin Africa of Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold. He urged for new strength and new roles for the United Nations.
 President Kennedy proposed an approaCi1 to disarmament which would be both far reaching and realistic.
 aIt is therefore our intention to challenge the Soviet Union not to an arms race but peace race to advance with us step by step, stage by stage, until general and complete disarmament has actu- ally been achieved. We invite them now to go beyond agree ment in principle and to reach agreement on actual plans,' he seid
 Kennedy touched on world. trouble spots and solutions to the causes of cold war conflict in

his first appearance before the General Assembly.
 Tn his text he was most speci- fife about halting the spread of atomic weapons. He said the new US. disarmament program, which may be set forth in detail within 24 hours, would include a pro posal for all nations to sign a nuclear test ban treaty.
 ssTest ban negotiations need not and should not await general dis arament talks" Kennedy said to counter Soviet insistence that dis cussion of i1uclear treaty be wrapped into overall disarma- ment negotiations.
 For the first time he personally emphasized that in connection with a Soviet-East German pact that ssthe Western Allies are not concerned with any paper ar rangement the Soviets wish to make with regime of their own creation, on territory occupied by their own troops and governed by their own agents
 But to make the United States position clear, he asserted: 'sNo such action can affect either our rights or our responsibilities" He said the Western Powers cannot surrender the freedom o1 West Berlin or their commitment in Germany
 A peace treaty which woule be a fraud,' he said. "A free city which would suffocate free dom would be an infarny" The Western Allies ''have calm ly resolved to defend, by what ever means are forced upon then their obligations and their access to the free citizens of West Der lin and the self-determination o1 those citizens" Kennedy said.
