THE CRISIS IN THE UNITED NATIONS
United Nations Day last week (October 24) found the U. N. deeply involved in a financial crisis. Two main facets of this many sided problem are the long h«t of financial delinquents and the possibility that the U. S. S. R., along w'13 other countries, will lose its vote in the General Assembly. The U. N.’s financial headache is caused by the failure or refusal by some members to pay the assessments levied for U. N. peacekeeping operation, specifically the U. N. Forces in the Congo and the U. N. Emergency Force in the Middle East. According to the U. N. finan-
$36 million is owed for the U. N. Congo operation and about $15 million for the Gaza Strip peacekeeping force. The Soviet Union must pay at least $8 million in order to avoid a showdown on her vote in the General Assembly. SLx other east_rn European nations are also on the list: the Ukraine (owes $7 million); Poland and Czechoslovakia (each over $3 million); Hungary ($2 million); and Byleorussia and Rumania (each $1 million). The seven other nations seriously in arrears include five Latin American countries: Argentina (owes $3 mil-
cial reports, overdue U. N. liont and Bolivia, Haiti, Paraassessments now total more guay. and Uruguay (owes from than SI22 million: Over S82 $100,000 to $300,000 each). The million for the Congo force. 1 remaining two na f ions are Nanearly $30 million for the Mid- t’onalist China which owes $144 die East Force, and a remain- million, and Yemen, a little i» g $10 million due on the 1963 over $100,000. and earlier regular U. N. bud- France is also ; n debt for her gets. share of the Congo force to the All together there are 14 tune of about $16 million: howU. N. members which are so far ever, the : c«ue of her vote in the i arrears that their vote at the General Assembly will hot come 19th General Assembly is in jeo- up until 1965. President de pardy. At the top of the list is Gaulle contends that the U. N. tne U. S. S. R. which owes more has “more or less exceeded t’ 3 then $54 million, of which over powers’’ conferred by its Char-
ter by supporting international forces within national boundaries in “duties which are those of the individual state.” The anticipated U. S.-U. S.S. R. confrontation over the application of Article 19 of the U. N. Charter (Article 19 decrees that a country shall have no vote in the General Assembly if it is in arrears for two years) makes clear what an expert on financing had in mind when he said that the U. N. financial crisis is primarily a political and constitutional crisis. The political crisis relates to the willingness of some members to accept matence on being able to pick and choose which U. N. projects they will support. The constitutional crisis stems from what has been called a “pocketbook veto”—that is, th' 1 refusal by member nations to pay assesment c on peacekeeping activities they do not approve can have the effect of hamstringing the U. N.’s peacekeeping capacity. The issue of financing is one on which the U. S. and the L. S. S. R. have opposite views. • "e U. S. insis*~ that the Russi^s automatical^' be deprived of their voting rights unless they pay a sufficient part of their debt. The Soviet Union has held that it is not legally ob1’ ted to pay a single penny for “its share” of the expenses inci rred in the Middle East nd the Congo on the ground that Article 19 a Mies only to reg* la- assessments for opc-
rt ting expenses and that no peacekeeping expenditures are legal under the Charter unless approved by the Fecurity Coun-
cil. The Middle East operation was authorized by the General Assembly rather than the Securrity Council; the Congo opera-

He said at Jacksonville, Fla., that the voters “must crush this threat to American life.’’ “A great American party has fallen into the hands of an extreme and narrow group,” Johnson said with respect to the | GOP. “They ask you to tear jdown the past and take un-
necessary risks with the future . . . we must restore the health of our two-party system." Johnson sounded similar themes next in Macon and Augusta, Ga., and in Columbia. In the two Georgia cities, he was hindered slightly by demonstrators chanting "we want Barry."

LIFE
In SPACE our country has already been effected—to an amasing extent—by the space revolution. We’re already enjoying the benefits of communication satellites, weather predictions and other “information” from space. Space is the frontier of the 1960s, a field rich in romance and promise.
On the MOON The moon is the current target for our spacemen. While they’re making use of wild new training devices in preparation for future flights, •esearchers are urgently involved with bio astronautics — the effects of space on the human body. The entire, widely-ranging field of space is reviewed, in words and pictures, in Life magazine’s two special space issues.
In the FUTURE To a number of Americans, space is not only today’s frontier, but also today’s Klondike. They’ve jumped into the space field for adventure, excitement and the chance to strike it rich. Meet one of these men in Life 1 ! space issues. And read Astronaut Pete Conrad discussing our most interesting on-hand piece of space equipment, lor use in the very near futons.
