BEHIND UN SCENES—by DAVID HOROWITZ
Police Stare Atmosphere
Disappears With Khrushchev
UNITED NATIONS (WUP)
New Yorkers, especially those of
us who had to be at the UN
every day, rose Friday morning,
October 14 following the *6im-
chat Torah ceremony the night
before — with a great sense of
relief The police atmosphere
which had pervaded the city and
the UN compound disappeared.
One full month of tension, caused
by the presence of just one single
man, disappeared like a passing
storm. Hurricane "Nikita” went
out to sea.
Time alone will determine the
real damage left behind
The UN headquarters was al
most like an armed camp. No
one hero, from the delegates to
the cleaning women, failed to
sense the change the morning
after Khrushchev departed. No
identity cards were needed to
prove that you are not a sub
versive. No suspicious looks from
policemen stationed at every
nook and corner. Everything re
turned to normal. Yet many
wondered how one man was so

powerful as to be able to upset
the equilibrium, almost as if to
cause the earth to go off its
axis.
Mr K’s last day here at the
UN Thursday, the 13th — ap
peared to be the most hectic and
the most disturbing It followed
a crazy Tuesday when Eastern
delegates including Nikita bad
taken to the rostrum to
heckle Western delegates and
which action led the spirited
Irish President of the Assembly
Frederick Boland to call the ses
sion to a halt with a bang of his
gavel. The day was crazy be
cause Mr K, in his opposition to
several speakers, decided to
bring the roof down by pounding
on the table not only with his
hands but with one of his shoes
which he had taker off.
But Thursday the 13th was
Nikita's field day here. He asked
for the floor on several occasions,
each time warning, threatening
and, amid a lot of clowning
which amused both delegates
and newsmen, he offered man
kind a Soviet-minded world or
he destroyed Despite his cal!
for co-existence, he seemed to
give very little ground for West
ern viewpoints. Mankind, he
said, would eventually triumph
under the Communist Banner.
Like a veteran actor — and he
acted his part marvelously — he
gesticulated and mimicked with
every statement, now and then
injecting a joke, but becoming
deadly serious intermittently as
he spoke of the gravity of the
world situation and the danger
of an all-out nuclear war in
which most of mankind would be
destroyed.
Taunting the United Kingdom
delegate, Ormsby Gore, who had
interrupted him on a point of
order as he had been previously
interrupted on two counts by
Wadsworth of the U.S. for an
apparent slur on Eisenhower,
Khrushchev said in a very grave
tone: “the fact that a threat is
lowering over the head of man
kind, that catastrophic thermo
nuclear war is looming over us,
is of no interest to them (the
British). Oh. have they no
shame’ If war should break out,
that well-known British ‘unsink-
able aircraft carrier’ (the British
Isles) would cease to exist on the
very first day of that war
Thus Krushchev revealed that
Moscow has a plan whereby the
British Isles could be annihilated
in one day
That Moscow has a plan for a
surprise attack on the USA
goes without saying
The issue then is very serious.
It touches every human being on
this earth
It is the opinion of this writer
that, having come to the TJN
under the negative circumstances
he did following the U-2 incident
and the Paris Summit failure -—
to disturb and disrupt and create
chaos, and finding himself op
posed by so many delegations,
even Asians and Africans, Nikita
Khrushchev left New York a
desperate man who might well
have decided that his only solu
tion now lies in the alternative
offered in the advice of those
Call for Registration of Former
Jewish Slave Laborers in Germany
Former Jewish inmates of Nazi concentration camps, who toiled
as slave laborers for private German firms, are requested to register
by the Committee of Former Jewish Slave Laborers in Germany,
which was set up in cooperation with leading national and world
Jewish organizations. The Committee has its principal office in New
York
The Committee is seeking to gam compensation from German firms
for the benefit of their surviving Jewish slave laborers, along the
same lines as are provided by the agreements reached with the 1 G
Farben and the Friedrich Krupp companies. The Committee desires
to register the surviving slave .laborers, so that they might not be
excluded from the benefits of any future settlements which may be
reached. It is in the claimant’s own interest, the Committee empha
sized, to give the matter their immediate attention and to register by
December 31, 1960 The Committee makes no charge for its services,
nor does it act as a legal representative of individual claimants.
Communications should bo addressed to the Compensation Treu-
hand GmbH Stausenstrasse 29a, Frankfurt a/Main Germany, and
should contain the following information: full name, address, date
and place of birth, name of German firm, and the place and dates
where the slave labor was performed. The Compensation Treuhand
GmbH is a special trust set up to administer-the funds to be paid out
under the I. G. Farben and the Krupp agreements.
Former slave laborers at the I. G Farben and the Friedrich
Krupp companies, who have already registered with the Compensa
tion Treuhand, are requested not to register again, as their claims are
already on file. Slave laborers at other companies, who were in pre
vious correspondence with the Committee of Former Jewish Slave
Laborers at its New York office, need not register again, at this time
All others should register at this time.

who have urged him that the
only way out of Communism —
whatever remains — is total war.
In a column dealing with the
opening of this 15th session last
month, your correspondent en
visaged a “showdown assembly”
fraught with grave dangers.
Khrushchev’s presence has made
it so. What can be done now' 1
many ask. The N.Y. Herald Tri
bune had this to say editorially
day after Mr. K left:
"So, the West having won the
initiative, it is up to us to do
something with it . . If we do
nothing, we may find that Mr.
Khrushchev has left a Trojan
Horse behind him.”
May our next President know
how to deal with an entirely new
form of war.
