independent disarmament and
development authority. And in
the process he turned his Wit
riolic tongue on the New From
tier.
Speaking at the 18th annual

ner at the Shoreham Hotel,

said the disarmament author
ity should have its own police
force and provide a more ade-
quate judicial system.
Mr.. Thomas deplored the
state of the liberal movement

has drawn in its own left
men like Stevenson, Bowles,
Schlesinger and even Hubert
Humphrey :. I wish they had
left a few out so they could

Mr.. Thomas also disparaged
the United Nations system that
grants Iceland with 1890
