LOOKS GREAT!’ Grandpa Kennedy Thrilled With Nineteenth Grandchild By The Associated Press WASHINGTON—Grandpa Ken nedy got his first peek Tuesday at his new grandson, John F. Ken nedy Jr. And Joseph P. Kennedy’s re action after seeing his 19th grand child was what you’d expect a proud grandfather to say: “Looks great, looks fine. Mar velous.’ Reporters askSd whether, as the father . of nine children, he had any advice for John Jr.’s dad, the president-elect. ‘No, I think he’s done all right, don’t you?” said Kennedy. The elder Kennedy’s visit liv ened the day for reporters keep ing vigil at Georgetown Univer sity Hospital, where the newest Kennedy was born last Friday. The boy’s doctor, Dr. Edward B. Broocks, said the child will be kept in an incubator another 24 to 48 hours. John Jr. as placed in the incubator immediately after his caesarean section birth, a pre caution normal with premature babies. Dr. Broocks said the oxygen in the incubator was shut off Tues day mhrning, but may be used again for a while to rest the baby. He is being left in the incubator for warmth, the doctor explained adding: “He’s not comfortable if we have to put covers on him.’ Mrs. Kennedy goes each after noon to look at the baby in the incubator in a nursery across the hall from her room. She has not yet held the child. THE INEW) MARCH QF.DIMES. Mps mm BIRTH DEFECTS • ARTHRITIS * POLIO | W H P Vv ■* A v ^ <• * .

Soviets Want UN To Stop ngo Moves By The Associated Press UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.—The Soviet Union demanded an end to the vast tl. N. operation in the Congo Tuesday on grounds that Secretary-General Dag : Hammar- skjold had bankrupted the United Nations in order to pay for it. The demand came in the U. N. General Assembly’s Budgetary Committee after the United States announced it will contribute about $14 million more than its normal share of the Congo operation, and appealed to all U. N. members to help shoulder the financial burden involved. Sen. George D. Aiken, R-Vt., announced the voluntary contribu tion. Aiken, a member of the U. S. delegation, said the U. N. Congo operation ‘is the collective re sponsibility of all members of this organization and we must all con tribute—and make our contribu tions commensurate with our abil ity to pay.” Will Not Pay But Soviet Delegate A. A. Ros- chin replied that his country would not pay any part of an operation he asserted was dictated by the United States and other Western Powers. He said the Western powers had brought about chaos in the Congo and asked: “Why should we pay good money for it?” He unleashed a blistering attack on Hammarskjold, accusing him of illegally bringing the United Nations into bankruptcy by carry ing out the Congo operation on be half of the United States and its allies. Hammarskjold has warned the United Nations that its treasury will be empty by the end of the year unless members pay up their regular assessments and an esti mated $66 million needed to carry the Congo operation through the end of this year. Hammarskjold has said that unless this was done the United Nations would have to withdraw the 20,000-man force now in the Congo. Roschin said the United States dictated U. N. policy in the Congo and that Belgium, the United States and its allies should there fore underwrite the cost. guns with a trip to Arkansas this weekend and one to Austin next week. The question under study in in ter-collegiate debate this year is compulsory medical insurance and the club has been busy digging up material for the various tourna ments which will be held through out the rest of the year. College Debate is not just two or more people standing up and argu ing with one another; in fact, e- bate is extremely formal and rigid rules must be observed. The per sonal feelings of the debaters should not enter into his debating, because the teams must be able to argue both sides of a question. Try Two Trips The Debate Teams try to make at least two trips each year before the Southwest Conference Compe tition. This year, the teams chose to go to Arkansas and our own tournament here at A&M. These trips are paid for from the pro fits of the Exchange Store. Last year the debaters brought back two trophies, one from the Southwest Conference and one from the Uni versity of Houston. The debaters have been invited to Dallas to appear on nation-wide television by the Sinclair Oil Com pany this spring. A series of de bates leading to the Championship of the State will be televised. A&M’s first debate will be against Lamar Technological College on the subject of federal aid to edu cation. The winner of the first round will receive $1,000 for the school’s scholarship fund and the losers will get $500 for their school. Because of time limitations, each speaker will be allowed only three minutes for his opening comment.
