Boston, October 23,
The first stage of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru's tour of the United States has been a complete success, and everywhere he has been greeted with a measure of welcome bordering on personal affection.
This has been true both on the official and non- official levels and Pandit Nehru himself has more than once confessed that he has been overwhelmed by the cordiality and friendship shown towards him.

On some days he has spoken as many as half a dozen times or semi. governmental governmental functions, and always he has gripped his audiences. In every case where the demand he was speaking, for seats has been so great that hundreds had to be turned away disappointed. Some people paid the full fee just to sit and listen to him speak from out- zide the hall.
In the midst of all the activity, Mr. Nehru has kept several secre- taries busy with his
routine duties with which he has kept in constant touch. Frequently, his engagements have kept him busy until midnight, and then he bas dealt with affairs of State until

Soviet Papers Indicate Russia To Stay In UN
Moscow, October 23. Soviet newspaper editorials today gave the stron- gest yet indication that Russia intends to re- main within the United Nations in spite of Yugoslavia's election to the Security Council. Both "Pravda" and "Izvestia" quoted several past declarations by Marshal Stalin and M. Molotov about the importance of the United Nations Organisation in defending peace and the principle of lequality of States.
Marshal Stalín was quoted as saying that the United Nations is a serious instrument for the preservation of peace and inter- national security.
