In 1945 representatives of 51
nations met in San Francisco to
draft the UN Charter which was
ratified on Oct. 24 of that year.
The charter was a reaffirma
tion of "faith in fundamental hu
man rights in the dignity and
worth of the human person in
equal rights of men and women
and of nations large and small."
The voluntary association
of nations became a forum of
world opinion with power
stemming from the force of
moral judgment. It became
an organization furnishing a
code of conduct for its mem
ber nations.
Today the member nations
number 82.
The General Assembly is the
UN's central organ composed of
delegates from all 82 member
nations. The Assembly considers
all matters related to world peace
and security and to promotion of

tions.
The Assembly decides mat
ters such as organizational
affairs election of new mem
bers to the UN or to the Se
curity or Trusteeship Coun
cils. The Assembly also
adopts the UN budget assess
ing" member nations accord-
isg to their ability to pay.
The budget for 1959 is about
61.5 million dollars with 32.5
per cent about $20 million
coming from the United States.
The Security Council is the
organ charged primarily with
maintaining world peace "and se
curity.
In permanent session it is
made up of eleven members
five permanent and six elect
ed by the General Assembly
for two-year terms.
The Security Council has the
right to call upon member na
tions for military support from
their armed forces and other as
sistance necessary to maintain
peace and security. It used the
authority in the fighting in Ko
rea. The Council also is em
powered to investigate any situ
ation which might lead to fric
tion between countries and to
recommend ways of peaceful set
tlement.
The administrative responsi
bilities of the UN are car
ried out by a staff of 3500
persons of the Secretariat.
The chief administrative of
ficer is the secretary-general
currently Dag Hammarskjold
who is elected by the Gen
eral Assembly on recommen
dation of the Security Coun
cil.
The UN's Economic and Social
Council works to promote^ higher
standards of living full employ
ment and economic and social
development throughout the
world. It makes recommendations
to promote observance of human
rights and fundamental freedoms
and can call international con
ferences on specific problems.
The Council carries out most of
its studies through the formation
of expert commissions.
The Trusteeship Council was
established to guard the interests
of people in the ten United Na
tions Trust Territories. The Coun
cil "among other things receives
complaints from organiza
tions and individuals in the Ter
ritories and reports on each Trust
Territory to the General Assem
bly which makes recommenda
tions for governing the Territo
ries.
The International Court of
Justice in permanent session
at the Hague in the Nether
lands^ is the principal judicial
organ of the1 United Nations.
Every member country .pf the
United Nations can refer cases
to the International Court and
non-members caij do so under
special provisions. Most cases re-
ferret} to the courts pertain to in
ternational relations.
Besides legal disputes the Court
renders opinions on legal mat
ters referred to it by the General
Assembly and other organs to
the United Nations. A member
country must comply with a court
decision in any case to which it
is a party.

U.N. Keeps Growing
It's Bigg er Than Critics
When Soviet Premier Khrushchev addressed the United Na
tions General Assembly during his September tour of the U. S.
the event pointed up the historic role of the organization which on
Oct. 24 marks its 14th anniversary.
Each birthday of the U. N. is an occasion for regarding it with
a fresh appreciation of its record of solid achievement. Its original
51 member nations have grown to 82 and by working together to
tackle the great social and political problems of our time they have
all—in the persons of their delegates—developed a confident sense
of their ability to meet new tensions with new solutions.
For the major' role of the U.N. is reasonable mediation. It has
no magic wand that can overnight rid the world of poverty dis
ease and ancient hatreds. But it provides the framework wherein
sensible men and women from all corners of the globe can put
their heads together to plan a better life that will utilize the fruits
of science and technology for the common good.
Measured against the history of the League of Nations the
U.N. has a record of vigorous health. Its working methods are
elastic as befits the issues under consideration. But it never
departs from its fundamental pledge of faith in "the dignity
and worth of the human person" and in "the equal rights of
men and women and of nations large and small."
There will always be people who wag their heads and say that
the world we live in is sick sick sick. Their reiteration of this
achieves nothing except to make things sicker. Isn't it healtheir
to leave them to their moping and listen to the counsels of people
who refuse to throw in the sponge? That is the electrifying current
that keeps the East River monolith humming—the accent on the
positive the rejection of the negative.
Yes the U.N is a teen-ager whose feet have a grip on a straight
path. It doesn't veer from its fundamental goals: peace prosperity
mutual understanding. It's bigger than its critics. (AFPS)
Blight Reduces
Pecan Crop
At Fort Hood
A blight has reduced this year's
pecan crop on the Fort Hood
reservation to the extent that it
is not salable.
The extent of the blight damage
was determined in a recent sur
vey by the Fort Hood Agrono
mist.
Because of the forecast of a
very light yield the Command
ing General of Fort Hood also has
regretfully announced that it will
be impossible to invite members
of communities surrounding Ft.
Hood to pick pecans on the re
servation as has been done in
past years.
Only Ifort Hood officers and sol
diers and their families and Gov
ernment employees at Fort Hood
and their families will be allow
ed to pick.
As in earlier years pecan pick
ing will not be allowed before
a date to be announced by Head
quarters Fort Hood. This date
will be announced after the Post
Agronomist determines that the
sap no longer is running in the
trees. This probably will be after
the first frost.
Those authorized to pick pecans
on the reservation this year will
be warned not to jeopardize future
crops by breaking limbs or in
any way damaging the trees. They
will also be limited in the amount
they may pick.
