Sembly discussion on the con-
troversial arms question until
the next Assembly in Septem-
ber and devote the interim
months to quiet negotiations.
The British have been giving
Mr.. Stevenson strong support in
his drive to pare down the As
sembly agenda. but they feel it
is up to the American delegate
to do the final selling job.
The 46 Asian-African nations,
a pivotal force in any U. N.
negotiations, also favor looping
acrimony-provoking items off
the agenda, but they insist on
seeing some concrete sign of
United States-Soviet agreement
before spelling out their own
position.
Can't Force Issue
The situation Is not one
where voting power counts. The
United States realizes it would
be useless to try to ram through
the Assembly decision to scrap
controversial items in the face
Of Russian opposition and
thereby create new bitterness.
The Russians are reported
aware that an adamant stand
against the opinion of an over
whelming majority might lose
then more friends than an
arms debate would be worth.
What the Soviets apparently
want to know now is just how
strong Is the sentiment in
favor Of the American posi-
tion.
The Russians have insisted
that If any items are cut from
the agenda, they should be
such issues as Hungary and
Tibet. They have indicated
that if those two anti Com
muniSt complaints are dis
carded, they would scrap their
charges against United States
reconnaissance flights.
The United States has in
sisted it will make no deals to
drop one item in exchange for
another. but it Is generally
agreed there will have to be a
certain amount Of give and
take to reach a solution.
Would Accept Delay
The Hungarian Committee of
exiles headed by Msgr. Bella
Varga announced last night
that it would prefer to have the
charges Of Communist repres-
sion in Hungary debated again
at the current Assembly, but
would be willing to have the
debate postponed until the fall
Assembly. Msgr. Varga said he
understood Soviet Foreign Min
lister Andrei A. Gromyko wants
to bar the Hungarian issue
from the Assembly agenda per-
manently and that his COM
mittee bitterly opposed this.
Tibetan exile groups are ex-
pected to take the same posi-
ton with regard to the charges
Of Chinese Communist domina-
ton Of their homeland.
All sides agreed that the
Congo is one recurrent issue
that will get another full air.

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, Mar 9.-The Soviets can brag
that they accomplished the impossible at the u N.
They have made American hero out Of Swedish civil

race" wrote q housewife to the
imperturbable bachelor, who
has the thankless Job Of pleas
ing 80 nations and keeping
them from each others

Around the lounges, too, Mr..
Hammarskjold, who always
had been known as q dip

drawing rave notices from
people who more guardedly
echo the hope Of the man in
the street that he will hang

! Of the 55-year-old scion of a

service.
Survives Abuse
Mr.. H a m m arskjold has
weathered the abuse Of the
Soviets with an equilibrium and
detachment that the ordinary
public figure would find it i'm
possible to maintain.
The Russian treatment is, of
course, q one-way street. Last
Monday they boycotted his Of
ficial luncheon for the PreSi-
dent Of Ghana on the grounds
that they do not recognize him
as Secretary General. But they
expect him to answer all their
demands and communications,
which he does with the meticu-
lousness that is part Of his
character.
He has been Studiedly neu-
tral In all Of his attitudes and
pronouncements. At the Secur-

notes on points Of fact, and
when his turn comes, answers
on those points and never
botherS to bleat about the in
justice Of it all.
HE will never resign" said
an admiring colleague. He is
a Stubborn Swede, for one thing:
for another he believes quite
simply that II he goes down,
the U. N. will 60 with him. He
told the small nations that he
was staying on in their behalf
and now they have had a
chance to think about it, and
they are rallying around"
The point made is that the
Russians have never formalized
their fulminations against the
Secretary General in a reSolu-
ton. for the simple reason they
would be beaten.

GWEN VERDON
is HER OWN
BEST STORY

By FRANK JUDGE
ONE DAY somebody is
going to get smart and
present a TV spectacular
about little crippled girl who be-
comes a great dancer.
They might even call it: This Is
Your Life-Gwen Verdon."
For it would be one of the truest
stories ever seen on television.
Until that happy day, however, TV
fans can still rejoice that the very
talented Miss Verdon guest stars.
Her next appearance is on CBS'
Garry Moore Show" Tuesday night
She and Julie Andrews, the fairest
lady ever to star in MY Fair Lady"
will portray the sisters of madcap
comedienne Carol Burnett, one of the
weekly hits of the show.
The Gwen Verdon Story" could be
about the girl who:
. Learned to dance because her
dancer-mother rejected doctors ad-
vice to have the girls legs-crippled
by disease-operated on The mother
said dancing was the best cure
. Was a bride at Is, mother at
II and divorcee at TO- She's IS now.
. Supplied the leg work for many
Hollywood star in movie musicals

Was the dancing coach in 1853
for the movie, Gentlemen Prefer
Blonds," in which she took some of
the sex out of Marilyn Monroe's walk
and put it into Jane Russells.

. Did a few dancing roles in the
movies herself before being sum-
moned to Broadway for "Can-Can."
AS Eva she was so irresistible in
the eyes of one Broadway critic that
"she justified the Fall of Man" She
may have been too much of hit, in
fact. Some say that, to keep the star
of the show, French singer Lilo, from
exploding, the role of Eva was cut.
In her next show, however, Miss
Verdon became full-fledged star by
doing something few men have been
able to do - tame the New York
Yankees The show was the hit of
Broadway in 1855, the Faustian legend
set to baseball in Damn Yankees"
New Girl in Town. "Redhead'
and other Broadway hits followed.
Hollywood, too, finally starred her.
1t was about time.
After all, Miss Verdon was born
and raised in Culver City, in the very
shadow of movieland's biggest studio.

stitch it in at all seams or
