PROBLEMS OF U.N.
Report Given Kennedy
NEW YORK, December 7. The President-elect, Mr Kennedy, has received a first-hand report on critical United Nations problems, including the latest developments in the Congo.
He met the United Nations Sec-retary-General (Mr Hammarskjold) at breakfast a short time before the United Nations Security Council met to take up the Congo situation.
As far as United Nations officials were concerned, the Ken-nedy-Hammarskjold meeting was strictly private. Diplomats at the United Nations said there was little doubt that the Congo problem would have held a top place in the discussions! These would have included the United Nations financial crisis caused mainly by the costly operation in the Congo. Among other things, the Sec-retary-General was expected- to get Mr Kennedy’s view on the demands of the Soviet Premier (Mr Khrushchev) for a spring meeting of the General Assembly at heads-of-Government level.
