Cracked the U.S.'s Ernest Gross: "I thought the meal was over three times before it was." Asked if it had been a Russian dinner, Britain's Sir Gladwyn Jebb sardonically quipped: "Not Russian-Edwardian. It was one more proof that the Soviet Union is 40 years behind the times...
...last as president. All month long he had introduced one irrelevant resolution after another, to give himself fresh springboards for propaganda. Now he introduced two more, one denouncing "the unprovoked, barbaric attacks" of U.S. planes on China, and the other, "monarcho-fascist terrorism in Greece."

The audience laughed and cheered. Malik flushed. Jebb let the noise...

(Mon. 10 p.m., E.D.T.) turns newsmen from as many as 20 countries loose on outstanding United Nations' diplomats. Last week, even Britain's urbane Sir Gladwyn Jebb found the drumfire of questions hard to handle. Some he met squarely ("No, I don't think Soviet Russia should be tossed out of the U.N."); some he dodged ("I can't answer questions about Formosa in public...
