Exact time, not yet known_ but you'll be able to hear the President over CBS. Mr. Kennedy's main purpose - to give the UN a shot of optimism. Impress upon the delegates that America stands squarely for their organization - as now constituted. That ls - with the office of Secretary-General remaining as the top executive post. No three-man directorate - no Russian 1 Troika 11 • And President Kennedy will ~ng up major Ooints - that are already under discussion. For one._ thing - the question of atomic testing.

We don't know just what the President will say - on that. Still, it's taken for granted in Washingto and New York_ that he'll request some XII kind of UN action. .... OHNEDY-2 Possibly an investigating committee to go to Berlin - and see the situation as it really ls. SOVIETS FOLLOW KENNEDY • • Needless to say, the Soviets are d isplaying rather obvious signs- that they don't like any part of the Kennedy position. Gromyko has asserted over and over - that he's in New York to push the ' Troika' concept of a UN executive. Moscow's Ambassador Zorin used much of his time today - in defending the Russian atomic explosions. Bringing up the old Soviet myth - about the west planning a third World War. As for Berlin, the Russians obviously are going to make every 0.. effort - to paralyze UN action. Above all, the~re determined not to have u international investigators getting a first- hand look - at the squalid dictatorship tyrannizing over the East Germans. UN FOLLOW SOVIET At the UN - a quick victory for the W est. The Steering Committee of the General Assembly, voting to take up the question O f - atomic testing. The Soviet delegate did his best - to keep the problem off the agenda. But Adlai Stevenson pointed out that the Russian explosions - are poisoning the atmosphere. Hence, a matter of grave concern - to all the nations of the world. The Steering Committee went along - with Stevenson. Soviet atomic testing - to be debated in the General Assembly.

General Lucius Clay wanted to m ake it plain - that even a f ew acres o f western soil will be defended. General Clay f lying over East Germany in a helicopter. Touring Steinstuecke '. - for almost an hour. Wildly cheered - by the crowds. Answering with a ringin g pledge - that we will not abandon them to the Reds. Then General Clay boarded his helicopter - for the return flight. The last that Steinstuecken saw of our special mp■ representative in West Berlin - was the General, leaning out the window an d giving the "V for victory " salute. RICKENBACKER One of the most colorful Americans o f our time- today jumped into the hassle about military men on the rostrum. C a ptain Eddie Rickenbacker - who's been on a few rostrums himself. Addressing officers on the carrier "Constellation" - Rickenbacker condemned the administration policy of censoring controversial remarks. Rickenbacker, especially critical of a plan attributed to Senator Fulbright - a plan to have all military speeches cleared through the chairi of command - okayed - right up to the Pentagon. The Rickenbacker plan!• .,,,., 1t's rather different.
