NEW SETUP IS FORMED FOR PEACE Organization, Boy(ofled‘ by Russian Bloc, to Decide Many Issues By JOHN A. PARRIS, JR. LAKE SUCCESS, Nov. 8 —#®—An authoritative source said today the projected United Nations “Littie| Assembly"—boycotted by the Soviet | bloc—may be given five nnporlnm‘I issues, including the A\lb}l'iflll peace ; treaty. ! Creation of the “Little Assembly,” which was approved by the Assem- | bly's 57-nation political committee, | now requires only plenary session ! affirmation, and this is expected next week. The prebability that the “Little Assembly” would scon find itself confronted with a series of impor- tant issues was advanced as the political committee continued the cast-west wrangle over the admis- sion of new meimbers to the United Nations. One authoritative source said the United States may take the lead in laying down the work of the! projected “Little Assembly,” which | was the brain-child of Secretary ! of State George C. Marshail. i In view of effcrts to wind up the | present regular session of the Gen-| eral Assembly, an authoritative | source d the “Little Assembly” | may be given these items: | 1—The question of abolition of | the veto and other means to re-| vamp UN machinery. 2.—Revision of the Ttalian 1)mce treaty. \ 3.—Problems concerning the neW-J ly created UN Commission on Kor- ean independence. | 4-—Study of the Austrian peace | treaty in event the four-power | Foreign Ministers meeting in Lon- don this month fails to find a solu- | tion. 5—Review of the Spanish ques- tion. The veto, rcvision of the Ilulian‘\ peace treaty, and the Spanish ques- | tion all are listed for consideration | by the present session of the As-! sembly, but many delegates believ- ed they would be deferred in order to wind up the session by Dec. 1. If this happens, they said the | ‘Little Assembly” could take them | up, make recommendations and re- port to the anrual Assembly se sicn next year. i | | SAM ASP HERE Sam Asp, canneryman of Tcrmkee | js in town agein.

(#—The Gov- ernor of Alaska declared here that lhe Northern Territory “has been, nm is being, gr against” by the Federal Govern- ment in “many matters, including tground sea and air transportation.” “This situation is not the fault of any individual or political part; he told a meeting of the Executives’ 1 Club of Chicago, “it's just the sys- tem — the time-honored system of Washington's neglect and lack 01 interest.” The Governor said the presom government-established air system connecting Alaska and the Unitcd States is the “monopoly of one air line providing only two routes, one a direct line from the Midwest, other a circuitous route from the Midwest to the west coast of Alaska. |Charges to and from Alaska by the direct route, which takes 14 hours, fare just as much as those for the longer route, which takes 24 hours.” The Govenor said Alaska also is being discriminated against with re- gard to its highway system because it “never has been included in the U. S. highway laws.” “We've got to foot our own high- way bills, Federal help, which the States auto- matically receive be Federal law, he asserted A federal law making it man- datory that all goods and passengers being shioped by sea from the U. S. to Alaska be carried in American owner ships is “unfair and ineffi- |cient,” he said. He added, “T regret to say that U. S. shipping is not the best avail- able to us.
