JFK Calls for 'Peace Race' UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP)—President Kennedy solemnly challenged the Soviet Union to a "peace race” yesterday and -warned the 99 United Nations that unless men quickly learn to control their weapons and their quarrels they may shortly destroy themselves. The President on his first appearance here evidently sounded his loud alarm In an effort to push the Soviet Union toward agreement on fresh negotiations over Berlin and disarmament. He laid out a six-point disarmament plan, offering to freeze nuclear weapons production and possession virtually as soon as international controls to prevent cheating could be organized. He was challenging the Soviet Union, he said, "not to an arms race but to a peace race.” Kennedy sought, too, to rally the smaller nations of the world to a campaign to save the United Nations from what he considers Soviet wrecking tactics. And simultaneously he tried to get across to Soviet Premier Khrushchev, through Gro Weather Forecast: j Mostly Cloudy, Windy, Cooler 'irnifitmHHiriififmiiiMMMMiiiiHi: VOL. 62.

Applications originally were to be turned in at 5 p.m. last night, but because of the small number of applicants, AWS elections chair man Judy Allen recommended that the deadline be extended. To date, 75 applications have been received for the 90 positions avail able on community councils in West, South, East, Pollock, Ather ton and Simmons-McElwain halls.

Navy took the opening kickoff and after 10 plays, most of them directed at the right side of State’s line, the Middies had a touch down. The Lions immediately fol lowed with a touchdown drive of their own but Greg Mather booted a 45-yard field goal on the next to last play of the first half to give Navy a 10-7 edge.

The United States has “both the will and the weapons” to defend freedom, Kennedy said, but it seeks peaceful negotiation not military conflict. Kennedy held out hope of a peaceful solu tion to the Berlin crisis, hut his summing up of the state of the world today rumbled with the advancing thunder of some nuclear Armaged don, His speech might have sounded much like the usual oratory of East-West propaganda duelling except that the President has been reported extremely concerned about Khrush chev’s belligerence and the growing dangers of war in the last few months. The President was greeted with a standing ovation when he entered the assembly hall. Gromyko joined in the applause, but sat with silent hands while Kennedy spoke.

Kennedy proposed that disar mament negotiations, broken off by the Soviet Union 15 months ago, should "resume promptly and continue without interrup tion until an entire program for general and complete disarma ment has not only been agreed upon but actually achieved.” He suggested they work on the new U.S. plan. The President said the plan would proceed gradually under international inspection "until it has abolished all armies and all weapons except those needed for internal order and a new U.N. peace force," And, he added, "it starts that process now, today, even as the talks begin." He said the new program in cluded these proposals: “First, signing the test-ban treaty, by all nations. This can be done now. Test ban negotia tions need not and should not await general disarmament talks. "Second, stopping the produc tion of fissionable materials for use in weapons, and preventing their transfer to any nation now lacking nuclear weapons. “Third, prohibiting the transfer of control over nuclear weapons (Continued on page two) Pelton Warns Traffic V Students are being reminded! ried out, Pelton said. , ~ t, , , j. „ | Students who have not regis by the Department of Secur-jj erec j ti le ; r vehicles are reminded ity that they must cornplyjto do so immediately in 203 D i .

Kennedy got a 40-second ovation at the end, and assembly President Mongi Slim said just before the President left that he was sure the message would be studied by all delegations "with the attention and seriousness it warrants.” Ambassador C. S. Jha of India told report ers ihai It was a ''very fine speech." Ambassador Alex Quaison-Sackey of Ghana, a leader of the 46-country Asian-African bloc, said, "It was a thought-provoking speech that needs close ex amination. I was very favorably Impressed." In developments of the next few days and weeks the success of the speech will be judged here in large part by how the neutralist nations like India and Ghana line up on critical issues such as selection of a successor to the late Sec retary-General Dag Hammarskjold. What Kennedy tried to hammer home to them was that in his judgment everything they do must have the most fateful consequences: There is little margin for error.
