...Last week, in a brief public ceremony at the Newport. R.I., Naval War College, President Kennedy announced that Dulles, 68, would retire in November after eight years as CIA's boss. On hand to hear the President's sincere tribute to Dulles as a "courageous, selfless" public servant was the nation's new chief of intelligence: John Alex McCone, 59, a California industrial leader and former (1958-60) chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission...

Without a chief executive, the U.N. machinery soon would...
...reality, though, as both President Kennedy and the leaders of the noncommitted nations recognize, all blocs share a common interest--survival. The organization Mr. Hammarskjold outlined would grant to an "international public servant" an international staff which would implement the decisions of a body determined not only to "save succeeding generations from the scourge of war," but to bring to underdeveloped areas the material comforts which the Western world has enjoyed for the past two centuries...
