Flushing, Sept. 22. Britain will join U.S. today in publicly castigating the Soviet Union for hamstringing the United Nations but like France and China, will with- hold endorsement of the American plan for revamping the United Nations.
The Assembly hopes to complete the general de- bate in two plenary sessions, thus bringing to an end a preliminary "choosing of sides" by members between U.S. and 'the Soviet Union.
Here are two sidelights on the man whose plan to id Europe is to be put before U.N.O. (above) Appointed General in 1939 over the heads of 34 senior officern, he discgases, plans with Kisenhower (left).. (Below) On his retirement främ" the', Army he is sent us envoy to Calang Kai-shek.
