No one at the UN talks of to- tal collapse, but many speak of defects, disappointments, limita- tions and drift toward ineffective- ness. United States Ambassador Ad- lai E. Stevenson said recently: "It may well be that 20 years ago people expected too much too soon from the UN." When UN diplomats gather in San Francisco next week to com- memorate the signing of the orga- nization's charter, the keynote probably will be "hope" and "pa- tience." But the atmosphere will be far different from the optimism ' which marked the signing of the charter on June 26, 1945. Indispensible The UN has one big thing in its favor. Its 114 members are virtually unanimous in insisting that it is indispensible. Indonesia is the only country y that has quit the organization in its'20 years. Even during its most difficult days, new countries have continued to seek membership. Apparently there is a universal feeling that the UN, with all its shortcomings, is better than noth- ing. But there is doubt that the or- ganization has plunged deeper and " deeper into trouble, and that this nosedive has accelerated -in the past year. Secretary-General U, Thant recently noted that new UN1 setbacks-including the channelT. ing of problems away from the or-f S ganization to regional groups-are; causing profound uneasiness. We are witnessing a definite reversal of the slow progress the UN has made toward stability and world peace," he said. "A further drift in this 'direction, if not ar- rested in time, will mark the close #4 of a chapter of great expectations. and the heralding of a new chap-f ter in which the world organiza- tion will provide merely a debat- ing forum, and nothing else." 1 Constitutional Crisis For the moment, the constitu- tional problems of the UN over- shadow the problems which it was created to resolve-the preserva-j tion of peace, harmonizing inter-i national relationships and improv-t ing the lot of humanity. What went wrong?7 For one thing, the world itself changed in ways not anticipated by the architects of the UN. Many of the key provisions ofi the UN charter were based on the1 assumption that the big powers,E drawn together by wartime neces-I sities, would continue to work to-t gether despite differing ideologies.c -Wile Dies of t Long Illness Prof. Emeritus Udo J. Wile ofI the dermatology department died yesterday after a long illness at the age of 82.Y Wile,dchairman of the derma- tology department from 1912 un-t til' his retirement in 1947, es- tablished the first university hos- pital clinic in the United 'Statest for the training of dermatologists and ,syphilogists at University Hospital. -Among the many positions held{ by Wile during his career are president of the Washtenaw County Medical Association, presi- dent of the Ann Arbor Board of Health and president of the American Dermatological Associa- tion.- This quickly proved to be a ma- jor miscalculation. The only time things looked good for the organization was during the brief 1963 thaw in the cold war. Now the UN seems to be caught up in the general deterioration of international relations. Basic Problems Much of the current UN diffi- culty stems from two practices which have persisted over the years: -A tendency of many coun- tries to ignore all UN decisions which they don't like, the best- known case being the Soviet Un- ion's refusal to pay assessments for the Congo and Middle East peacekeeping operations, and -A readiness of members to ac- cept certain deviations from the charter to avoid difficulties, or to meet emergencies. One example of this is the im- provisation that has made possi- ble UN peacekeeping forces in the Congo, the Middle East and Cy- prus. All these forces were made available by small countries and operated under the direction of the secretary-general. The Cyprus force is financed by voluntary con- tributions. But the charter pro- vides that UN forces should be organized and directed by the Military Staff Committee, which is made up of military representa- tives of the five big powers. This committee has had no hand in any UN peacekeeping project. Concern Former Secretary-General Tryg- ve Lie often expressed concern over procedures not in accord with the charter. French President Charles de Gaulle recently direct- ed attention to the problem by calling for a meeting of the big five powers - the U.S., Britain, France, Nationalist China, and the Soviet Union. He said the or- ganization might regain its equi- librium "by returning to prudence and to the charter." One complicating factor unfore- seen by the founding fathers was the UN membership explosion. Be- tween 1955 and 1965 the member-, ship soared from 60 to 114. More than half the members now are newly-independent countries of, Asia and Africa. This had two important results: it has drawn a sharp focus on Asian and African problems, and it has on many occasions turned the UN into a cockpit in the East- West battle for the minds of the new countries. New Members British Prime Minister Harold Wilson acknowledged that the new members have had a profound ef- fect upon the UN, and upon world opinion. Their concepts, he said, were far different from those of the countries which formed the organization in 1945. "They are far less interested in the East-West division," he said, "than between rich and poor na- tions; they are less concerned with protocol than with poverty." r Another problem related to the emergence of the new countries is what Stevenson calls the "war of liberation' or the 'civil war. Stevenson cites Viet Nam and the revolt' in the Dominican Republic as examples of how clandestine aggression and subversion of legi- timate protest movements can be used under the guise of self-de- termination. Such wars were not foreseen by the men who draft- ed the UN charter and there is no international machinery for dealing with them. National Power "Until the international com- munity is ready to rescue the vic- tims," Stevenson said, "there is no alternative but national power to fill the peacekeeping vacuum." , This "go it alone" tendency is one of the developments which troubles Thant. Another is the trend toward channeling problems away from the UN to regional or- ganizations. Without questioning the legi- timacy of such actions as the handling of the Dominican prob- lem by the Organization of Amer- ican States, Thant warned: "If a particular regional orga-; nization, under terms of its ownj constitution, deems its fit to take -Associated Press SOVIET PREMIER NIKITA KHRUSHCHEV and Cuban leader Fidel Castro, shown above at a 1960 meeting of the General Assembly, have both figured prominently in problems facing the United Nations. Lack of Soviet cooperation, typified by Khrushchev's dramatic demonstrations during UN sessions, and difficulties caused by the emergence of Communism in Cuba are among the factors that lead many prominent officials to question the potential effectiveness of the UN in the future. EDITOR'S NOTE: Seven experts on the Soviet Union participated In the University's "Conference on the Khrushchev Era and After" last weekend. The opening session of the conference was covered in F~ri day's Daily The following is the first article in a five part series discussing the remainder of the pro- gram. By CAROLYN TOLL "It is too early to distinguish the long term policies of the new Soviet leaders, if indeed theiri terms are to be long enough," said Patricia Blake of Columbia University's Russian Institute. Speaking on the legacy of Khrushchev in Soviet literature, Miss Blake said that it is possi- ble, however, to make provisional observations about the present lit- erary trends. As for the future, she added, "we cannot predict what the leadership will do, but we can predict what they cannot do." What the leadership "cannot do" is cut the large support en- joyed by the liberal writers, artists and intellectuals who are critical of the government. In the post- Stalinist decades literature has achieved a "nnique autonomy," Miss Blake explained. It has be- come possible for literature to be a vehicle for expression rather than an organ far state propagan- da, she added. Literary Triumph The year of 1962-3 saw a tri- umph for literature, Miss Blake continued. "With Stalinism over, writers were free to write without didacti- cism. There was a genuine rebel- lion against the Stalinist liter- ary oligarchy." Solzhenitsyn's noved, "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich," depicting the life of a prisoner in a Siberian labor camp, is a product of this period, Miss Blake remarked. Then the party began attempts to regain control, she said. For seven months there were cam- paigns of abuse against the in- telligentsia, and it was "clear that such campaigns were simply a struggle between authorities and groups for the right to express beliefs." Coiflict There were "sharp exchanges" between Khrushchev and these liberals during this period, Miss Blake commented. To show how far he would go "against recalci- trants," she quoted Khrushchev as saying: "Taras Bulba killed his only son for going over to the side of the enemy. Such is the nature of the struggle." Following Kremlin meetings in December, 1962, Stalinist die-hards replaced liberals on magazines, newspapers and arts unions-po- sitions they still hold today. "But the liberals counterattack- ed with acts of defiance," Miss Blake continued. The authorities put pressure on the writers to recant, in classic purge style, in order to re-estab- lish party authority and to dis- credit the liberal witers In the public eye, Miss Blake explained. Dnly two writers, including the poet Yevtushenko, made recan- tations deemed fit to print. "Ultimately Khrushchev was forced to make a truce with the liberals," Miss Blake said. "Al- though the resistance of the in- telligentsia was one factor in this capitulation, Sino-Soviet relations vas another. The Russians could not afford to alienate other Eu- ropeans, especially the Italian party who protested strongly the' treatment of the writers," she added. According to Miss Blake, the most important aspect of the lib- erals' victory is that the artistic and intellectual community re- mained intact. "Stronger now for their resist- ance, they wait for the time when they may claim their freedoms," she said. The present leaders are taking a centrist position regarding the arts, Miss Blake maintained. They are attempting to conciliate the liberals who were assaulted in the anti-modernist campaigns of 1963. The works of these writers are now being published. Previ- ously denounced writers are now allowed to travel abroad, Miss Blake went on. There have been personnel changes in the unions of creative artists - moderates (though not liberals) are replacing the neo- Stalinists, she said. There is a general trend towards replacing people who -were close to Khrush- chev in all fields. Despite these symbolic advances there are still systematic attempts to cut the flow of "unauthorized art and literature, Miss Blake pointed out. Last March Solzhen- itsyn's novel was attacked at a Congress of Writers of the Rus- sian Republic, a neo-Stalinist or- ganization of government approv- ed writers "who are powerless to compete with the liberals for read- ership." "Deploring the use of Stalin's crimes as themes, they denounced the liberal writers. This posed a crucial problem for the liberals who thought that literature could serve as a catharsis for the na- tion to rid itself of the evils of Stalinism," she added. Nevertheless, there is evidence that the present leaders are fol- lowing a centrist policy, Miss Blake contended. Supreme Court Diss. Estes' Televised Conviction WASHINGTON (R)-The Supreme Court yesterday threw out Billie Sol Estes' conviction on a Texas swindling charge because his trial was televised. The historic decision split the court as it wrestled for the first time with the question whether a defendant can get a fair trial under the eye of television cameras. Byt a 5-4 margin, it ruled that in Estes' case he couldn't. But two justices explicitly said no sweeping $ r - k ' ' ,. l,,, r' , F.,+i' R' .,. j : .: f ;'' MF ,' 4'' v' r,;' certain enforcement action in its own region, it naturally follows that other regional organizations should be considered competent, because of the precedent, to take certain enforcement action in their own regions." 20 Years As if these problems were not enough, some observers have ad- vanced the theory that some of the organization's difficulties are due to a "20 year syndrome." The reasoning is that it is now 20 years since the end of World War II and that people have forgotten the horrors of war. It is pointed out that the League of Nations failed and a new conflict erupted just 20 years after the end of the First World War. Just how bad off is the UN at age 20? Despite all its setbacks, the or- ganization is carrying out large- scale peacekeeping operations in the Middle East and Cyprus. It had a hand in getting the warring factions in the Dominican Repub- lic to agree to a limited humani- tarian truce, which was extended into the present cease-fire. Many countries have enough faith in the UN to bring their disputes before Its various bodies. The Security Council held more than 100 meet- ings last year, the largest num- ber in a single year since 1948. While the organization's peace- keeping capacities are now being reappraised, many agree with President Lyndon B. Johnson that it "has helped to avert catastro- phe in this century." It is note- Worthy that the nonpolitical ac- tivities of the UN have continued to expand despite the hostile po- litical atmosphere. Many Agencies During its 20 years the. orga- nization has created a versatile range of international agencies which are surveying resources, dis- tributing food, improving agricul- ture, caring for needy children, controlling disease and training technicians, such: as teachers, nurses and engineers. The priority problems, apart from trying to improve the world atmosphere, are the UN financial crisis and the widening differ- ences over future peacekeeping procedures. A special committee, with the assistance of the secre- tary-general and Assembly Pres- ident Alex Quaison-Sackey of Ghana, is working on both prob- lems. It seeks a way to end the As- sembly deadlock over Soviet vot- ing rights so that this key UN body can return to normality when it reconvenesSept. 1. Showdown? It is a question of whether or not there will be .a showdown over the refusal of the Soviet Union, France and 11 other countries to pay overdue peacekeeping assess- ments. Under Article 19 of the UN charter any member more than two years in arrears in paying as- sessments must lose its Assembly vote. Throughout the last As- sembly session a U.S.-Soviet con- frontation was avoided by a no- vote truce. Officially the United States pol- icy remains unchanged-to en- force the controversial article - but there is a widespread as- sumption that the showdown will never take place. Many diplo- mats feel that the sentiment is too strong against it. UN diplomats generally agree that the charter is partly to blame for the organization's difficulties because of its vague language; but even worse, they feel, is the failure of its members to comply, with the charter. There is always talk about the need for charter revision, but Thant believes that the UN can straighten itself out without con- stitutional changes. 'U' Researcher Dies ii Thailand Dale S. Fisher, a research as- sistant at the Willow Run Labora- tories of the University's Institute of Science and Technology, was killed Saturday while working on a research project in Thailand. His death was accidental. meaning should be read into the opinion. The television networks with- held comment on the court's rul- ing pending full reading of the several opinions. Defends Decision The Texas judge who permitted the televising insisted yesterday that he feels such coverage does not prejudice a defendant's rights if it is carefully supervised. The reversal affected only a state conviction of Estes, a one- time millionaire Texas promoter. Among the questions left un- answered by the court's division is whether the case will have any effect on televising of congres- sional hearings in which witnesses might be subject to later criminal trials. Last Session This was the court's last sitting before summer recess, which will end next Oct. 4. In other decisions delivered yes- terday, the court held: -A Connecticut law forbidding the use of birth control devices is an unconstitutional invasion of privacy ; -Unions forfeit their exemp- tion from antitrust laws if they conspire with certain employers to drive other employers out of business, and -A federal law that makes it a crime for a Communist to serve as a labor union official is un- constitutional.

McNamara de- scribed the administration's con- troversial military pay raise bill yesterday as fair to both service- men and taxpayers. As McNamara opened the ad- mhinistration's battle for its pay bill against a bigger one introdue- ed by 34 of the 37 members of the House Armed Services Com- mittee, there appeared to be a mood of compromise in the air.

Wallace invited the newsmen to find out for them- selves if stories about racial dis- turbances have been distorted. LANSING-Gov, George Rom- ney declared yesterday that, if necessary, he'll present his own program of specific tax reform at the fall legislative session. But he warned lawmakers they should bring expenditures and revenues into line before they go home for their summer recess. h. ," , .aa ..... ....... ...
