The commission also has no

that meters on all Metropoli-

District cabs and some Mary

This followed a charge Fri

that Mr.. Khrushchev is seeking
to destroy the usefulness of the
United Nations by replacing its
secretary general, Dag Ham
marskjold, with a three-man
executive committee in which
the Soviet, Western and neu-
tral representatives each would
have a veto.
The nuclear test note said
the Soviet government has de-
clared there are not and can
not be neutral people," There
fore, it said, Russia contends
there are no individuals who
can work in an independent
manner for international Or
ganizations. The United States
rejected this idea.
There are, of course, many
people who are capable of ex-
ercising independent judgment
in behalf of the international
community =. The United
States rejects this Soviet con-
tention categorically and is
convinced that Nations which
do not wish to submit to the
domination of great powers will
also reject it," The note went
on:
This is a striking example

present policy Of unlimited burials for
all veterans and their wives is con-
tinued, land available for the cemetery
will have been used up within Is years.
The situation has led to the Army,s
agreement to return to the cemetery
by 1864 the land now occupied by Fort
Myers South Post. But even this added
acreage will give only temporary relief
for cemetery congestion. .~-
Originally, the land on which the
