What sort of picture Of the US.
would emerge with Stevenson as
spokesman Many people were
worried. Would we end up apolog-
izing to the world for our admitted
shortcomings - segregation in the
South? Religious bias? More tail
fins, less culture? Hunger in West
Virginia?
Or would we pretend these weak
nesses did not exist and, in the
recent tradition, act as If this were
the best of all possible worlds?
Fortunately Stevenson avoided
all the pit falls. He speaks as the
representative of a nation that has
slumbered, but is now awakening.
, GROANS FROM GROMYKO-
The word that comes back here
from the U.N. is that Soviet For
eign Minister Gromyko was as
founded by the vigor of Steven
sons reply to his speech on the
Congo. For the first time in eight
years the world heard an Amer
lean spokesman refuse to be in
Inundated by implied threats of
war, or to accept the notion that
the Communists have a patent on
virtue
ITO use the unhappy state of
affairs in the Congo as an excuse
for such insensate attacks on the
S Secretary General" Stevenson
said of Gromykos remarks, COM
pounds the offense to the dignity
of this body and to the very sur
vival of the United Nations as an
effective instrument for peace and
progress.
The Soviet Union demands the
resignation of the Secretary Cen
eral. We will oppose this demand
with all our strength" Stevenson
said. I'VE must not allow the
United Nations to be demeaned by
vicious attack on its most dedicat-
ed servant"
Is that clear enough? Do the
Communists need additional proof
that we mean business? Or can
we now finish with the hot words
and the Cold War?

Washington AT THE U.N.-H John F.

critics would wildly acclaim the President for naming Adlai
Stevenson to his present post.

What is happening, of course, is
much more important than a play
and the results are even more sal
utary. But events have been NOV
ing so rapidly hardly anyone has
paused to applaud either the Presi-
dent or the former Governor of
Illinois for a job that is being well
done.
For Stevenson, as for the Presi-
dent, this too has been The First
100 Days" 1t has had both per-
sonal aspects.
Stevenson came to the U.N. re-
luctantly. His friends wanted him
named as Secretary of State. There
was a feeling, which he undoub-
teddy shared, that he had been
elbowed out of the Washington
picture. Certainly there were those
who felt that pettiness as much as
anything else was responsible for
RELOCATING him to a job that SEEM
ed essentially unimportant.
Against this was a feeling In
some circles that Stevenson was
not a wise choice for any for
eign affairs post. Many Repub-
licans as well as others doubted
that he could stand up against
the willy Soviet representatives.
Some even thought he would be
so unhappy in his assignment he
would soldier on the job and not
do his Homework" in preparation
for the crucial debates.
All this has proved wrong as
anyone who knew Stevenson was
certain it would. Stevenson has
never looked happier nor enjoyed
wider public appreciation. This
time the applause comes not only
from the dedicated Stevensonians:
it's all across the board.
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1961-03-31

Stevenson is such a fascinating
personality and there is so much
interest in him as a man, that it
was inevitable everyone would
watch to see how he did in his
new job.
Aside from his personal well
fare, the welfare Of the nation
was also involved. After all

When a fire broke out at

morning at about 8 o'clock, an
attempt was made to get a call
through to the Fire Depart

line was reported busy and
an attempt was made to get
the Fire Department in Fred

and the suggestion was made
that a call be put through to
the Claude @. Markoe school
inthe hope that some contact
could be made with the Fire
Department; that, too, failed.
In desperation, a call was
put through to the Airport and
the reply was that a plane
was on the ground and the
truck could not leave.
Fortunately, it was brought
