THE SOUTHERN ISRAELITE Friday, October 21, 1»6« i 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 give your child the greatest gift a college education current rati STANDARD FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION 44 Broad Street, N.W. Atlanta 3 Phone MUrray 8-6619 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.

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. 3n 7/„.
