The Senate Appropriations
Committee was asked yesterday
to restore a cut of $37,500 in
the fiscal 1862 budget of the
District Commissioners Youth

by the Senate Appropriations
Committee. The city's $27C
million budget passed Congress
last week and now is awaiting
President Kennedy's signature
Senator Dodd said that un-
less the cut is restored the city

The United Nations is at a
critical crossroads as a result
Of the unexpected and tragic
death Of Secretary General
Hammarskjold. The United Ma
tons is now engaged in urgent
peace-keeping action in the
Congo, in the Middle East and
elsewhere throughout the world.
Its widespread activities-po-
itical, economic, social and hui
manitarian - demand strong,
uninterrupted executive leader
ship. The secretariat must con-
tinue to be directed with vigor,
confidence and integrity.
| 1t Is unfortunately clear,
however, that an immediate
agreement cannot be expected
on the naming of a permanent
secretary. general. The United
States therefore believes that
faction must be taken now to
assure that the functions Of
the office of the secretary gen.
eral are performed effectively
and fully while agreement is
sought on the appointment of
a new secretary general.
An outstanding world leader
should be named Immediately
to perform the functions of the
office Of the secretary general
for temporary period, dur
ing which efforts to elect a
permanent secretary general
should proceed in accordance
with Article 81 of the Charter.
The authority of the office
of the secretary general must
not be compromised. A "troika -
or panel in any form and al
any level of the Secretariat
would paralyze the executive of
the United Nations and weaken
it irreparably. Whoever is ap-
pointed should perform the full
functions of the office.
The General Assembly has
full authority to make such a
provisional appointment. BY
the terms of the charter the
Assembly has the power to reg
ulate appointments in the Sec
retariat. That power necessar-
lily includes provisional arrange
ments for carrying on the func-
tons of the secretariat's chief
officer in emergencies. It has
used that power before on at
least two important occasions.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1961-09-22

The vital interest of the mem
bers Of the United Nations are
heavily involved in this ques-
ton. The Assembly must move
rapidly to fill the void. Events
cannot permit drift and inde-
cision in the leadership of the
United Nations. We must not
allow the prestige and authority
of the organization to be dissi-
pated by delay or by diminu-
ton Of the effectiveness of an
office that has become one Of
the United Nations unique con-
tributions to the peace of the
world.

Kennedy Hints

President Kennedy told Dem

he would contact them imme-

the President as very felici-
touS, chummy and intimate, -
said the leaders Of both parties
assured him they would be ac-
cessible and ready to return to
Washington on 24-hour notice,
Senate Democratic Leader
Mansfield said he thought the
prospects "are better than fair
that Congress can adjourn Sat-
urday night or Sunday morn
ing.
In view Of the Berlin crisis
and other international dan.
gers, Senator Dirksen recalled
that there has been some dis
cuSSion of whether Congress
should adjourn or merely recess
Could Return Quickly
But he and the Democratic
leaders said it was generally
agreed that congressional ad-
journment was in order because
the Senate and House coul6
come back quickly in answer
to call for a special session.
Senator Dirksen also told re.
porters that the President
thanked both the Republican
and Democratic Senate anc
House leaders and the members
of both parties for what hao
been accomplished this year.
Acting House Speaker Nc
Cormack said Mr.. Kennedy ex-
pressed appreciation especially
for bipartisan cooperation or
national security policies.

COnLlnueo from rlTSt rage
of the office, Mr.. Rusk said. He
added:
The authority of the office
Of the secretary general must
not be compromised. A "troika'
or a panel in any form and at
any level of the Secretariat
would paralyze the executive OF
the United Nations and weaken
it irreparably. Whoever is ap-
pointed should perform the full

Optimism over chances Of a
Short-range victory over Rus
sia'S troika plan overShadowed
the private miSgivings of some
delegates that this victory in
the long run may be a costly
one for the West.
No Title Change
Under the present scheme,
whoever might be selected would
probably not be given title of
acting secretary general. He
would simply be authorized to
take over some of the functions
of the secretary general which
might be limited to such urgent
business as the current crisis
in the Congo.
The length of time this ar
rangement might last is still
uncertain. The United States
and some other delegations
would like to have the appoint
ment valid until the election of
a regularly elected new secre-
tary general. But since this
might take a very long time.
other delegations likely will
want the arrangement to last
only for the duration Of the
current session.
However the technicalities
may be worked out. the i'm
mediate advantages of the plan
are obvious. The death of Mr..
Harnmarskjold last Monday
confronted the United Nations
with an immediate crisis and
presented the Russians with
what looked like a golden OPP
Dortunity.

Station Robbed
AT Gun Point;
First Here in
Over 20 Years

A l6-year-old service station
attendant was slugged uncon-
scious and tied and bound early
last Thursday morning by two
Negro thugs who robbed the
business of nearly $225. Police
said one of the Negroes went
into the station, Boyd's Atlantic
Service, Dupont Parkway, be-
tween Mt. Vernon and North
Streets, shortly after 2 a. m,
and asked for change. The at
tendant, John w. Pappas, Jr.,
went to a bank bag to get the
necessary change and when he
did one of the men put some
thing in his back and ordered
him to his knees. Pappas never
saw the weapon, but moments
later, he was smashed on top
of the head, bound and gagged.
The thugs got $2l0.30 from the
cash register and money bag
and also took $l2 from Pappas'
wallet. Regaining consciousness
a few minutes later, Pappas was
able to hobble out front where
two truckers who had pulled
in to nap, united him and call
ed police. Police identified the
truckers as William Hayman of
Fruitland, Maryland, and David
Cox of Eden, Maryland. Stan
ley Boyd, owner of the station,
has posted a $50 reward for in
formation leading to the ap-
prehension and conviction OF
the thieves. Chief of police,
John w.. Jacobs, Jr., said that
this was the first armed rob-
berry in Smyrna in more than
20 years.
