UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.
(AP) — A Western counter-
offensive against Soviet at-
tempts to revise the United
Nations rolled into high gear
today with the Soviet Union
accused of conducting a
"giant propaganda drama of
destructive misrepresenta-
tion” to undemine the world
organization.
Kicking off the counterattack
for the West was Prime Minister
John G. Diefenbaker of Canada,
who told the assembly that Presi-
dent Eisenhower had tried to open
the door to East-West conciliation,
but Khrushchev tried to shut that
door.
President Eisenhower arranged
meetings later in the day with two
powerful leaders—Prime Minister
— date with Jawaharlal Nehru In-
; dian prime minister who had an
appointment with President Eisen-
hower earlier in the day
Khrushchev also planned to at-
tend a luncheon given by Cleve-
Nehru of India and President
Gamal Abdel Nasser of the United
Arab Republic, in a drive to rally
massive support against Khru-
shchev’s proposals to abolish the
secretary - general’s office and
move the United Nations out of
the United States.
Secretary - General Dag Ham-
marskjold made a surprise ap-
pearance in the General Assem-
bly as the session opened, and de-
clared that not his future but that
of the United Nations is at stake
in Khrushchev’s attacks on him.
Khrushchev’s proposals took on
the look of ultimatum when he de-
manded that his terms be met or
the cold war would get colder.
Diefenbaker accused Khrush-
chev of giving lip service to the
United Nations "which would be
destroyed by his proposal." He re-
jected as unjust the Soviet attacks
on the secretary-general, and
called those attacks part of "a
transparent plan to undermine the

Aside from the debate—the first
of four scheduled with Vice Presi-
dent Richard M. Nixon, the Re-
publican nominee—Kennedy's only
announced campaign activity to-
day is an afternoon address at
the annual convention of the Unit-
ed Brotherhood of Carpenters and
! Joiners.
Kennedy devoted a good part
of the weekend to boning up for
the debate. He arrivd in Chicago
early Saturday at the end of his
week of intensive campaigning.
The senator took time out for
a quick visit to Cleveland Sunday
where he got the most tremendous
welcome since his nomination in
July. On his return to Chicago he
received another thunderous re-
ception at a party rally on the
Lake Michigan shore.
In Cleveland, Police Traffic
Commissioner James R. Halloran
estimated 418,000 persons were in
the wildly enthusiastic crowd
which Kennedy addressed at Eu-
clid Beach Park. Police calculated
that perhaps up to an additional
100,000 turned out to greet Kenne-
dy along a 12-mile route to the
park.
"I’ve never seen anything like
it," said Halloran of the Kennedy
crowds in Ohio's largest city.
Veteran Cleveland newsmen
termed it the city's biggest turn-
out since a visit hy President
Franklin D. Roosevelt In 1937.

He said:
1. Unless the U.N. is revamped,
as Khrushchev proposes, “We will
likewise be unable to solve the
disarmament question."
Under Khrushchev's plan, the
present setup undei Dag Ham-
marskjold, Secretary-General of

state of cold war."
cosmic masters.” said William
Mayhew in an interview, “that
earth men will not be allowed to
land on other planets."
Mayiew, a lawyer, and 700 oth-
er members of the society have
been attending Britain's lirst Na-
tional Flying Saucer convention.
During their two-day session in
London they said they established
contact with a spokesman on
Mars through one of their offi-
cials, George King.
King went into a yogi trance
and said a Martian spoke through
him. He recorded the message
purportedly from Mars. The mes-
sage—apparently directed at the
leaders of East and West—was
broadcast through the convention
hall.
The delegates listened in re-
spectful silence as the "Master
. on Mars" said: “Unless much
ground is given by both sides
alike—”
Here the spokesman was inter-
rupted by what sounded like a
very earthy cough. Delegates
were unable to say if the cough
was King’s or the Martian's.
“If you go on as you are at the
moment," the voice went on.
“fostering suspicion, arguing and
boasting about your latest weap-
ons. then a conflict will most sure-
ly come."
The voice said the conflict would
take place between 1963 and 1964.
Now is the time for Dentonites
to fill their gas tanks.
A gas war, sparked by an in-
dependent’s price cut when col-
lege students started their fall in-
flux, brought independent dealers
prices down to 24.9 cents per gal-
lon for regular and 28.9 for pre-
mium grade over the weekend.
Major distributors joined the
price-cutting during the past week
and were selling regular and pre-
mium for 26.9 and 30.9, respective-
ly. this morning.
As Denton dealers marked down
prices, both independents and ma-
jors expressed the unanimous
opinion the war would continue
for some time and prices would
go much lower before normal pric-
es were resumed.
Two independent stations on
South Elm Street were among the
first to cut prices two weeks ago.
Conoco followed on Sept. 17 and
the other majors last Monday and
Tuesday.
There have been price wars in
neighboring cities but Denton sta-
tions have not been affected since
last spring. Gas wars in Decatur,
Gainesville and McKinney have
just ended, and Fort Worth has
what one dealer describes as
“weekend wars" between inde-
pendent dealers.

The weekend rain amounted to

cities. Northeast Texas reported
the most rain with 5.88 inches re-

end
No flooding was reported, how-
ever. The only damage reported
was at Marshall where lightning

prestige and authority of the
United Nations.”
In a vigorous counterattack,
Diefenbaker poured scorn on
Khrushchev's proposal to grant
immediate independence to all de-
pendent areas. He challenged
Khrushchev to permit free elec-
tions in areas now under Soviet
control.
For the Communists, Czecho-
slovakia's President Antonin No-
votny endorsed Khrushchev’s pro-
posal to substitute a three-mem-
ber commission for the secretary
general's oganization, which he
said would be “in full harmony
with the democratic principles
upon which the U.N. is based."
He was the first of the top satel-
lite Communist leaders to address
the assembly.
As Novotny finished, Khru-
shchev and Indian Prime Minis-
ter Nehru were chatting on the
assembly floor.
But Argentina came to the sup-
port of Hammarskjold, praising
him for “impartiality, wisdom and
firmness." Diogenes Taboada, Ar-
gentina's foreign minister, gave
the assembly his nation’s pledge
of “renewed confidence" in
Hammarskjold.
When Hammarskjold finished
speaking. the Communist conting-
ents, laughing, thumped their
desks with their fists in what most
onlookers took to be a gesture of
mockery. They did not join in the
applause for him. -
The secretary - general’s brief
talk opened a day to be marked
by much diplomatic activily
touched off by Khrushchev’s of-
fensives at the United Nations.
President Eisenhower is playing
a big role in the activity. with
meeting with African leaders. He
is working for massive support
against Khrushchev’s attempts to
recast the U.N. structure.
Khreshchev countered with a
virtual ultimatum — "continued
cold war" — unless his demands
are met.
From all corners of the earth
more heads of government rushed
to New York, drawn by the great
and Increasingly dangerous con-
flict.
