The Week

The Soviet Union and its satellites have served notice on the United Nations that they have no intention of paying their share of the cost of the UN’s Congo operation. Suggestion: Why doesn’t the United Nations, which is, after all, the greatest country club of them all, adopt the usual rules? A member who falls behind in dues will be posted. If he fails to pay up in fifteen days, he will be barred from the club’s facilities.

• Prominent Republicans are privately urging Richard Nixon to name Congressman Walter H. Judd as Secretary of State, should he win the election. Others say he should make an announcement to that effect before the election; that by taking the initiative in such a way he would put pressure on Kennedy to name his choice for the post, and so face the disruptive Stevenson issue. The popular keynoter of the Republican National Convention would win over many staunch anti-Communist Catholic’s who are worried about the possibility of Kennedy’s naming Stevenson to the post. A letter is being circulated among prominent persons, urging them to join the appeal behind “Walter Judd—doctor, medical missionary, legislator, statesman—[who] represents the very best our nation has to offer.”
