Total Victory-'Nuclear Protection'—
omists do not believe the Russian economy can outstrip ours, and even if it did this would not automatically mean Russia would dominate the world.
"OTHER NATIONS WERE OUTstripped by the United States but were not destroyed," he pointed out.
In the question and answer period following the address Prof. Graebner said he favored foreign aid because it helps the African and Asian countries maintain their status as separate nations. This helps the United States, he said, because these nations "will become patriotic and will resist Russia."
Frof. Graebner was asked how far the United States should go in protecting freedom 'where it now exists in Latin America.
He said he was not afraid of communist advances in the hemisphere for they were based on nationalism. Fidel Castro is troublesome, he said, but poses no threat to the United States.

the principles enunciated by President Kennedy in his historic speech, particularly his references to colonialism as the key problem to the peace of the world. It is my hope that the U.S. delegation this session will simply follow these principles, particularly in regard to Algeria, Oman, Palestine and other similar problems."
problems.
Ambassador Muhammed Zafrulla Khan of Pakistan—"All I can say is that it was a very great speech. I hope that, as a result, several problems with which we are struggling will begin to move forward. It was very inspiring and courageous."
Ambassador Frederick H. Boland of Ireland, past president of the General Assembly—"a fine speech."
Migrant Farmers Face Problems
By Arthur Miller
Ignorance of the problems of our farm and migrant workers is an offense which not only students, but the great majority of the adult community share.
These men, women, and all too often children have been called "The Forgotten Americans."
IN THE PAST YEAR, a small but significant increase of concern by the general public has emerged. This is largely due to recent television broadcasts (CES's "Harvest of Shame" and ABC's "Down the Road").
Heated controversy over the reform bills proposed in the House and Senate, the work of the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee in California and the efforts of various national organizations and local citizens committees, have also brought wide attention.
THE AVERAGE HIRED FARM worker can expect to earn the lowest wage in the entire American economy. His hourly income is approximately 1/3 that of the industrial worker.
Farmers do not benefit from minimum wage laws, social security, the right to organize and bargain collectively and have no unemployment compensation. In addition, most migrants are not covered by Federal Old Age or Survivors insurance.
The NAACP, over a period of years, has made numerous inspections of migrant labor camps. Findings reveal dilanidated barns, chicken coops, old school buses, shanties, and tar-papered shacks being used for housing.
IN MANY WAYS THE PROBLEms and conditions of these people reflect those of the early industrial sweat-shop era.

behind the rostrum with heads of various delegations, including Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko.

"You were in good form," Gromyko told the President. Kennedy warned the assembly that the fate of man had never been so imperiled.
Kennedy's Berlin remarks were designed to convince the 99-member U.N. Assembly that the choice of peace or war over Berlin is up to Khrushchev. His firmness on Allied determination to use any necessary weapons to defend West Berlin's freedom was balanced by his offer to enter honorable negotiations and his declaration that "we are committed to no rigid formula."
His description of Khrushchev's proposed peace treaty with Communist East Germany as an inconsequential "paper arrangement" was offset by his offer to accept any "peaceful agreement" to protect "the freedom of West Berlin and allied presence and access."
The longest applause came when Kennedy called for the practice of free choice in the colonialism issue.
At the end of his address, he received 40 seconds more of applause. The Russians, Hungarians, Poles and Cubans did not join in. The Indian delegation, led by Defense Minister Krishna Menon, joined mildly in the clapping.
Premier Khrushchev addressed this same body a year ago and used words remarkably similar to Kennedy's. Khrushchev warned that few of those present would survive a nuclear holocaust.
Soon after Kennedy completed his speech, the United States formally submitted to the General Assembly a new arms plan calling for the outlawing of weapons of mass destruction and stabilizing military strength of the major powers at 2.1 million men.
Kennedy said today: "We shall be remembered, those of us in this hall, either as the generation that turned this planet into a flaming pyre or the generation that met its vow 'to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war.'"
The proposals included the creation of an International Disarmament Organization under the United Nations.
