...point was eloquently voiced in the United Nations by Nationalist China's Representative Liu Chieh, in a retort to Soviet Delegate Valerian Zorin. "Weapons," said Liu, "cannot be intrinsically differentiated into good ones and bad ones, but the man who carries the weapons can be easily differentiated. A revolver in the hands of a gangster is not the same thing as a revolver in the top drawrer of a peaceful citizen. Whether a person is a gangster or a peaceful citizen depends on his record. And what a criminal record international Communism has written for itself in recent years...
There was both a tomorrow and a Thursday as, all week long, the nations angrily debated Cuba. The Security Council's first meeting developed into a sparring match in which Russia's vulpine Valerian Zorin and Cuba's bouncy Mario Garcia-Inchaustegui tried, with ridicule and invective, to outscore U.S. Ambassador Adlai Stevenson.

The proposal, gibed Zorin, was "just the old American position dolled up in a new guise to deceive the neutrals." The Administration's proposal got more notice at home than it did at the inter national conference table. For the whole question of the U.S. position at Geneva was becoming a political issue. Declared Senate Republican Leader Everett Dirksen: "Hat in hand, the Kennedy Administration sent our negotiators back to Geneva with...
Communists, predictably, fussed about the tests. At the arms-control talks in Geneva. Soviet Delegate Zorin charged the U.S. with "hypocrisy, an aggressive act against peace, pushing the world closer to an abyss of atomic war." There were no immediate demonstrations in Moscow or in Communist China, although the Chicoms sounded angriest of all. Peking newspaper Ta Rung Pao charged that the tests showed that President Kennedy is "more vicious, more cunning and more adventurist than his predecessor...
