Nations declare Africa a de
nuclearized neutral zone.
Despite Western opposition the
U.N. main Political Committee
appeared certain to approve both
the African proposal and an
Asian-African move te sound out
U.N. members on calling an inter
national conference to ban use of
nuclear weapons for war.
Both have strong Asian-African
and complete Soviet bloc support.

had declared mere declarations
against use of nuclear bombs
were insufficient, and that the
best solution was through, agree
ment on disarmament.
Wright said in the present at
mosphere of Cast-West suspi
cion and mistrust, "We should
be deceiving ourselves if we
believed that an uncontrolled
prohibition would be of any se
curity to anyone.’’
As to the proposal to declare
Africa a rone free of nuclear
weapons, Wright said he believed
it would be improper for the
United Nations to take such action
either in Africa or any other area.
He said each African country
should have the right to decide
its own foreign policy:
Arthur H. Dean, the U.S. dele
gate, expressed sympathy with
the motives which led the African
nations to submit their proposal.
But he voiced the belief that only
a global approach to disarmament
would really solve the problem.
"Wa are concern ud that fids
particular resolution* however
noble its, motive, may interfere
with the over-all plan of dis
armament.” he dedared.
Eduard Mezincescu of Romania,

Game not called
on account of darkness
Great banks o! lights in the ball park do more than
light up a game.
They symbolize the tremendous abundance of
electric power that gives America more time for
enjoyment... and more time for accomplishment.
Most of this power comes from the investor
owned electric light and power companies.
They have made America the world’s greatest
electric nation, with so much electricity that wo
almost take it for granted, like the air we breathe.
The investor-owned electric companies serve
4 out of 5 homes and businesses... double their
supply of power each 10 years... always stay
ahead of needs. „
By 1970, for example, America will need twice
as much power for new jobs, homes and businesses
-and investor-owned companies like this one will
be prepared to supply it
They have experience and capability that the
nation can rely on to Keep America Powerful.

The communique called the dis

and rewarding conservations."
But the communique's omis
sions, plus Nehru’s responses to
questions at the press luncheon,
made it appear that neither one
had convinced the ether on such
matters at- U.S. testing, the divi
sion of Germany and how best to
assure an independent Laos.
The communique said the two
men gave particular attention to
areas where peace is threatened,
mentioning Berlin and Southeast
Asia specifically, ft said Kennedy
