his military adviser, Gen. Max

pleted a survey Of the war with

denying them medicine" The
United States has permitted the
export of about Sl2 million
worth of food and drugs a
year to Premier Fidel CaStro's
Cuba but limited other trading,
particularly in sugar.
On the reported rift between
Red China and the Soviet
Union, the President advised
it is better to judge by actions
than by words.

he SAID. Not altogether the

U. S., Britain Oppose
DenucIeorized Africa

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y.
(AP) The United States and
Britain took sharp issue today
with an African sponsored pro-
posal urging recognition of
Africa as a denuclearized neu-
tral zone.
The resolution was under
consideration in the General
ASSembly's main Political Com
mittee, where it found strong
support from Asian, African
and Soviet bloc countries. APP
proval seemed likely.
The Western powers also de-
clared their opposition to an
Asian-African plan to have the
United Nations secretary gen.
eral look into the possibilities
of calling an international con-
ference to prohibit the use Of
nuclear weapons for war pur-
poses.
Favor Controlled Ban
Delegate Arthur Dean said
the United States already has
stated its opposition to any
uncontrolled ban on either the
testing of nuclear weapons or
their use. He said the United
States disarmament plan will
call for a ban on nuclear weap-
ons as part of the first stage
of arms reduction.
Sir Michael Wright, the Brit
ish delegate, said he believed it
would be improper for the
United Nations to declare the
whole continent of Africa-or
any other area-a neutral zone.
Each country, he said, has a
right to determine its own for
eign policy.
Il wonder how many govern
mentS would welcome a U. N.
injunction to be neutral on all
occasions" Sir Michael said.

Fort Belvoir can now
truthfully be called the Army
Engineer Center since the
Chief of Engineers and Mrs.
Walter K. Wilson, jr., are re-
naming in quarters there. 1t
will be the first time the
Chief of Engineers has been
domiciled on the post.
The Wilson's have had
quarters at Fort Belvoir since
his tour there as Command
ing General. Engineer Center,
and Commandant, United
States Army Engineer Corps,
before he took over as head
of the Corps of Engineers.
And Gen. and Mrs. Wilson
will be on hand to greet the
new Commanding General
and Commandant. Mai. Gen.
Stephen R. Hammer who
takes command on Tuesday.
The present Commanding
General. Brig. Gen. Richard
L. Jewett, who took over from
Gen. Wilson, will retire to-
morrow and with Mrs. Jewett
leave for Villanova College
in Pennsylvania to join the
faculty.
FarewelIs
The Center bade farewell
to their retiring chief at a
formal afternoon parade ten
days ago followed by a recep-
ton that same evening. At
the ceremony Gen. Jewett
was awarded the Legion of
Merit. Mrs. Jewett was guest
of honor that day at an
Engineer Wives Club lunch
con at which farewells were
said and a parting remem-
brance given her.
On Tuesday the officers
will assemble at the gate at
$3.50 am. when the departing
general will receive a 15-gun
salute. At 10:30 am. an honor
ceremony is to be held to
greet Gen. Hammer. There

uSt 8 at a reception in honor
of Gen. and Mrs. Hammer.
The receiving line will form

clubs. The hall reminds one
of the baronial halls of
England with its frieze rail
decorated with the insignias
of the Corps.
Gen. and Mrs. Hammer
have a house in town where
they have been living since
1859 when he was named
Deputy Chief of Engineers

Mrs. Fekin Suggests Woman as Next Secretary General

BY MOHAMMED A. kAUF, JR
Star Staff Writer
: Mrs. Hagarni Fekini, a
member Of the Libyan dele
cation to the United Nations,
believes that the next Secre-
tary General of the United
Nations should be a woman.
: Mrs. Fekini, whose hus-
band is the Libyan Ambassa-
dor to the United States and
permanent U.N. representa-
tive, was speaking of the
time when Secretary General
HammarSkjold's term expires
q few years from now and
the world body is faced with
the problem of electing a
successor.
:. "In view of the excellent
record Of about 70 women
delegates from different
countries who attended the
18th session of the United
Nations last year, it can be
taken for granted that a
woman's performance as Sec
retary General will be much
above the average" she said
The 27- year old, Cam
bridge-educated diplomat
said that a person holding
the Secretary Generals post
should have. above all, the
qualities of determination,
patience and courage.
Women have these quail
ties in abundance" she
declared.
She suggested that, If the
selection of a woman could
not be achieved the next
time the post is vacant, a
beginning should be made by
appointing at least one
woman as Assistant Secre-
tary General.
Women Needed

General Assembly hall last
year when Soviet Premier
Khrushchev made his shoe
waving, table humping dem
onStrations, and President
Bolland broke his gavel try
ing to calm the acrid debate.
Making a plea for more
women delegates to the world
body. Mrs. Fekini said that
women can have great re-
straining influence on men
during the turgid war of
words.
Women can accomplish
things without raising their
voices. In fact, in all the de-
bates in the General Assem-

Spanish, Italian, Persian and
Chinese apart from her ma
tive tongue, Arabic.
II learned classical Chi
nese and Persian at Cam
bridge. French had been
taught me in school in Libya.
I know Italian because it is
widely spoken in my country,
and Spanish I learned on
my own.
MY experience is that the
more languages you know the
easier it gets for you to learn
newer ones" she said.
She said that dress does
not pose a problem to women
delegates during the > long
debates.
BLACK and brown are the
preferred colors. BY making
a few alterations in a black
dress. it can be turned into
a cocktail dress for a party
Immediately after a session,
when the delegate does not
have the time to go home
and change" she explained.
However, she commended
the women delegates for
bringing variety to the dress
patterns seen at the United
Nations.
While most men delegates
wear western suits, women
from India wear saris, and
women from Burma wear sa-
rongs, and the different de-
signs gathered in one place,
lend pleasant charm to the
gathering" she said.
At Home
Speaking about the women
in her country, Mrs. Fekini
said that although at pres
ent they do not have the
vote. it is expected tnst they
will get it in a few years.
"Women's interests are
being wei represented by the
Tripoli Women's Organiza-
ton, of which I was a men,
Der, and by the Benghazi
Women's Organization.
1T is heartening that our
Queen Fatima takes an ac-
tive interest in the welfare
of women" she said.
Mrs. Fekini continued that
the "purdah" or veil custom
slowly is dying out in Libya,
and arranged marriages are
becoming a rarity.
There is co-education on
the university level, but on
lower levels girls 60 to sep
arate institutions. But we
now have girls training as
doctors in Egypt and other
places. Until recently their
role was limited to being
nurses and teachers, but now
their activities are getting
broader.
