See Delay i in Picking UNO Xe Site in Drive to Adjourn

LONDON, Feb. ‘s (U, P.).—United Nations leaders opened a speedup drive today to adjourn Tuesday night, giving impetus to a campaign to postpone a decision on a

« permanent headquarters site until

the next meeting of the assembly. UNO whips scheduled meetings for morning, afternoon, evening and

‘ Sunday in a bid to wind up pending

business in the next four days. , France proposed a formal resolu- .. tion to empower the secretary general to select an interim site for the next UNO meeting in September and delay selection of permanent headquarters until then. The French took the lead in opposing location of ‘either temporary or permanent headquarters in the New York area. Opponents of the Stamford-Greenwich area were confident ‘that this recommended site would not be approved at this . session, ‘New York Too Big’ The site question was one of the major issues threatening to prolong the assembly beyond Tuesday. President Paul-Henri Spaak told the steering committee that nearly

* all delegaions wanted to leave Lon-

don by Wednesday at the latest. The permanent headquarters committee was bogged down in debate. The Belgian delegate said the public would think the UNO acted rashly if it chose the StamfordGreenwich site without full information on the ‘cost involved. The

+ Iraq delegate said New York was

too big and too hectic for UNO deliberations. A convention will be transmitted to the general assembly for approval for use in negotiations between the UNO committee and the U. 8. government. It would give the UNO inviolable right to the zone, air space above it and the subsoil below, but not the right w exploit minerals. The United States would be responsible for expropriating and compensating all interests in land and buildings in the zone. But the © United Nations would pay the ¢ United States a “fair price” for it. Encouraged by Senator Arthur Vandenberg's attack on the “fan-

tastic and fabulous” costs involved, opponents of the Connecticut site rallied a growing number of member nations to resist any assembly decision in the closing days of this, session. The site controversy outweighed in general interest the Ukrainian charges made in the security council against British troops in Inaonesia. Vandenberg's denunciation of- the site inspection committee's proposal to purchase nearly 45 square miles of high-priced land was interpreted as abandonment of the neutral position previously taken by the American delegation. The senator expressed the views of the entire American group. Without specifically criticizing the geographical thoice, Vandenberg told the administrative budget committee that the proposed purchase of 42 square miles in a high priced area “is fabulous and fantastic to a degree which my wildest imagination cannot approve.” Vandenberg suggested that “the equivaleiit of a comfortable college campus” should be sufficient for the headquarters. He added that the UNO should not become “a rich man's club.”

Mrs. Luce Proposes Treaty on UNO Site

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8 (U. P.).— Rep. Clare Boothe Luce (R. Conn.) sald today the controversial proposal to locate the home of the United Nations Organizations in a New York-Connecticut area should first be approved by the senate.’ Mrs. Luce said she would ask that any agreement be put in the form of treaty so the senate would have a chance to pass on it. The congresswoman stands to lose her own home if the UNO decides on the Stamford-Greenwich area of Connecticut. Meanwhile, Senator Milton R. Young (R. N. D.) took advantage of the opposition to the UNO site

TWO: That there never was, prior to Dec. 7, what he would consider an authentic “winds” message in his department, which had charge of the official translation and distribution of intercepted Japanese messages.
