Sobolev's attack came as a surprise, for he was understood to have told HammarskJoU before the meeting that he would have nothing to say. In any event, Sobolev contented himself with a mild outburst and did not, as some had expected, launch a campaign to oust Nationalist Chta In favor ef a Chinese Communist delegation. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge said the United States had made it clear that it would withdraw its troops whenever Lebanon requested such action and said he would "not dwell on the astonishing spectacle of the representative of a government which has for two years spurned UN requests to withdraw its troops from Hungary to speak as Mr. Sobolev has just done." "It has become clear that the purpose of the Soviet Union in pressing for a special General Assembly was because of the chance which they think it will afford to attack the United States," Lodge said.

An adjournment until Wednesday was called to provide time for Foreign Ministers, including Russia's Andrei Gromyko snd Britain's Selwyn Lloyd, to come here for the debate.

It appeared that Soviet Premier Khrushchev definitely was not coming to New York unless a situation developed that caused other heads of government to attend as welt. Tlie question of whether Khrushchev would attend the assembly session had been clouded in speculation in recent days. There had been some feeling here the Premier would attend a session later on but only if President Eisenhower and Prime Minister Macmillan decided to attend. The session was highlighted by a speech In which Hammarskjold Indicated an international police force might be needed in Lebanon along with a strengthening of the CN Palestine truce supervision organisation to stabilize the situation in Jordan. He called upon the Arab countries to reaffirm their pledges of mutual respect, non-asgression and noninterference as subscribed to in the principles of the Arab League.

He said "proper institutions" should be created to foster cooperation between oil-producing and oil-transmitting countries and for the joint utilization of the Middle East's vital water resources. Hammarskjold's peace plan appeared to spell out the principles which were under consideration by the United States and its allies for ending the turmoil in the Middle East. He made no specific proposals. In fact, he said the "need tor a closer cooperation In the various fields to which I have just referred could best be met through Institutions created by the free Initiative of the countries in the region." But, he said. In any event, the UN stands prepared to help create the Institutions which could stabilize the situation in the area as it had already created the Palestine truce supervision organization, the UN force on duty in the Gaza Strip and the UN observer group in Lebanon.

Arkady A. Sobolev, Soviet Ambassador, ignoring an appeal from Sir Leslie Munro of New Zealand, Assembly President, to forego propaganda tactics, opened the meeting with an at Based On Support Of Military Dictators, Is Mansfield Charge WASHINGTON. Aug. 8 UP Sen. Mike Mansfield (D.

Mont.) protested today that United States policy on the Middle East is largely based on support of "military dictators, social rot and economic stagnation." Mansfield, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was one of several Senators engaging in a warm policy debate in the Senate. One Democrat, Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota, renewed his suggestion that Secretary of State John Foster Dulles resign. Sen.

Homer E. Capehart (R. Ind.) upheld President Eisenhower and Dulles and pleaded with critics: "Let's not put ammunition in the guns of our mortal enemy." Capehart took the floor in response to widespread attention given a speech by Sen. J. William Fulbright (D.

Ark.) Wednesday calling for a sweeping revision of policy to stop what Fulbright called a drift to disaster. L'SED BY MOSCOW Capehart said criticism is promptly picked up by Moscow and broadcast as Communist propaganda. Mansfield railed on Eisenhower to strike boldly for an agreement in the I'cited Nations assembly to strengthen the UN police force in the Middle East to the point where it can be used on any border threatened with military Invasion. Mansfield said the UN should also agree to: Curb Indirect aggression whether by "incitation to assassination end mob action, border raids or other forms of attack short of outright military invasion." Mobilize International efforts to bring about face to face meetings between Arabs and Israelis and between conflicting Arab leaders In a try at settling difficulties which have kept the Middle East in an uproar. WATCH FAR EAST Sen.

Frank J. Lausche, Ohio) said he subscribed to the principles advocated by Mansfield, but he told the Senate he thought they represented things this country has been trying to do. He also said that, like Capehart, he didn't look with favor on what he described as efforts to "depreciate our country." In advance of the Senate debate, Sen. George D. Aiken (R, Vt.) said the situation in the Middle East appears a little better but "we must keep a watchful eye on the Far East" Aiken spoke after attending a secret briefing of Senators by William Macomber, Assistant Secretary of State.

The Stockhoff boy was killed instantly but Beetz didn't appear to be badly injured." The dead boy father identified him at General Hospital morgue. "I had the job of going out there and telling his mother," Sweeney said. "It was a hard one. She became hysterical." Chief Sweeney learned that the Stockhoff hoy had wanted a motorbike of his own "because all the other hovs have them." "In fact he did have one." Sweeney said. "He had been fixing it up, but couldn't ride it because he had no license." John's mother and father had expected to pick him up at a place on South Road where he had been cutting grass and doing other chores, Sweeney learned.

"But when they got there, John had ridden off with the other boy on the motorbike," Sweeney said. John had three sisters, two older than he, and two younger brothers. County police said charges would be placed against young Beetz, but did not specify them. Comic's Wife Hit By Breakdown LAS VEGAS, Nevada, Aug. 8 (UPI) Georgia Skelton, wife of Comedian Red Skelton- was admitted to a hospital here tonight suffering what a doctor described as a "mild nervous breakdown." Mrs.

Skelton' i Illness apparently was brought about by mental strain caused by the death of the couple's son, Richard, from Leukemia, and from a trip the family took to Korea and Japan earlier this summer, according to Dr. Jack Cherry. Skelton, meanwhile, went on a scheduled tonight with his show at the Riviera Hotel. WASHINGTON, Aug. 8 (AP) The United States atomic submarine Nautilus has crossed the top of the world, gliding swiftly and silently under the eternal ice of the North Pole.

The White House announced today the spectacular subsurface voyage from the Pacific to the Atlantic by way of the Arctic Sea, which lies between the United States and Russia. It said the famous submarine had pioneered a submerged sea lane, pointing to possible use by nuclear-powered submarines carrying commercial cargo. But while President Elsenhower oriented his remarks to the peaceful possibilities cf the route, it remains a fact that the Nautilus Is a combat vessel. If she can roam under the polar ice, so can the ballistic-missile-firing Polaris submarines now building. The submarine's ipper, Comdr.

William R. Anderson, a native of Bakerville, received from Eisenhower the Legion of Merit To the 116-man crew went a presidential unit citation. The medal was pinned on the 37 -year -old skipper in the White House announcement ceremony. The circumstances of the an nouncement the secrecy preceding it and the drama of its setting seemed to have signit-icant overtones of a national prestige effort. Asked whose Idea It was to send the Nautilus under the polar Ice and beyond the North Pole, James C.

Hagerty. White House press secretary, replied: "I think as much as anybody's It was the President's." The Nautilus, the world's first nuclear-powered sumersi-ble, left the U. S. naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, under high secrecy in the black, predawn hours of July 23. She sailed silently and unnoticed to the north, up.

past the Aleutian Islands, through Bering Strait, between Alaska and Siberia, headed up toward the rolling, grinding fringe of pack ice in the Arctic and then on under it. Above Point Barrow, Alaska, the Nautilus turned slightly eastward. For a few minutes on the morning of August 1. she surfaced through one of the occasional openings in the ice field to make photographs. Then she slid beneath the surface again to resume her 2114-mile journey under ice.

Most of the time the polar Ice above the stout-hulled ves-scl averaged about 12-feet thick. At some points, however, pressure ridges had thickened it to more than 50 feet. Coming out of the Polar Sea, the Nautilus headed down between Greenland and Iceland. There a helicopter picked up the skipper to start him on a murk plane trip to Washington and a "well done" from the President. Was this American feat designed, in part, as counterfire to the propaganda Russia made of her victory in launching the first Sputnik? The secrecy plans for the Nautilus' long voyage from Pacific to Atlanta via the North Pole appeared to have included STRngements designed to deceive everyone until the trip wi an accomplished fact.

Months ago the Navy that the Nautilus, which last summer had made trip to with'n a few hundred miles of the Pole after leaving and then reentering the Atlantic, would make another cruise up there this summer. The announcement said she would be one of three submarines to survey work In the Arctic accompanied hv th atomic submarine Skate and the conventionally powered Halfhesk. 'At that time the Nautilus was bound for her see- ond trip to the Pacific on what the Navy took oalns to sav was a wutine training cruise. The Skate and the Halfheak, the Navy said today, Indeed are In the Arctic, exploring the sea under the Ice east of Greenland Using an electronic fathometer, the Nautilus measured the water depth at the Pole as 1S.4I0 feet. This was 1927 feet deeper than estimates nude previously from a position on top of the pack Ire.

-APWiftphoU Mip Where Nautilus Made History under North Pole to Iceland Tm Dazed' Hoopla Bothers Skipper Of Pole Diving Sub WASHINGTON, Aug. 8 CP) The skipper of history's first sea voyage across the North Pole summed up his reaction In five words today: "I'm a little bit dazed." Handsome, 37-year-old Comdr. W. R. Anderson, who hails from Wtaverly, seemed at least as dazed by hoopla of a combined White House ceremony and news conference as he was by the hazardous voyage from Pearl Harbor to Iceland.

He reacted pretty coolly to the trip itself in the face of the fact that the White House announced the feat with such fanfare as hasn't been seen here since disclosure of the plan for this country to launch an earth satellite. Scores of reporters jammed the White House conference room in stiffling heat. Photgraphers' lights blazed. Anderson, whose command was the world's first nuclear-pwered submarine, was about the calmest man In the room. His reply, If he made one, was Inaudible after President Elsenhower awarded him the Legion of Merit.

But the commander held his own with reporters. He quipped that he was a little bit afraid his absence from the Nautilus on the last lap of its undersea trip to Western Europe might prove he it not indispensable and therefore he may be out of a job. The dark-haired commander said his feeling of being dazed resulted from his being flown from lee-land to a news conference well touted in advance by White House Press Secretary James C. Hagerty. It was quite a change from days spent in the cruise under the Polar icecap, Anderson said.

He said he doubts very much that the Russians ever spotted his submarine although it went through the Bering Strait very near their territory. "If the Russians detected us, they're awfully good," Anderson said, adding that the entire trip was made In International waters. Was there anything to look at during the cruise far under the Icecap Sure, said the commander; the ice overhead which crewmen could see by television. "A fascinating sight," Anderson said and managed to look as though he wished he could see it again. With no stars to iteer by and none of the usual navigational aids, he said.

It's possible to get considerably confused and even to find your ship going In circles. Anderson, is married and has two sons. He is an Annapolis graduate and holds a number of decorations, most of them for his service in the Pacific during World War II. One citation credited him with rendering invaluaMe assistance to his commanding officer in the sinking of 17 cargo ships and in the rescue of a downed U. S.

airman. 'A Fascinating Sight' A fascinating sight. Like clouds going by ex-tremely rapidly." Thus speaks the Nautilus skipper, Cmdr. W. R.

Anderson, of the "sky" of Ice which hung over his head In he ship's Polar cruise. See story on Psge 'By Joe Green Enquirer Reporter The fondness of a 15-year-old Green Township boy for motorbikes led to his death yesterday on Bridgetown Pike. John H. Stockhoff 3757 Mack was killed at 12:05 p. m.

Both trends were less favorable than the administration had hoped, the government reported today. The Labor and Commerce Departments said in a joint report that employment climbed by 11 198,000 last month to a total of 65.179,000. The number of idle persons actively seeking work fell to 5,294.000. a drop of 143.000 from June's 17-year peak. Both gains were smaller than usual for this time of year, however, with the result that the unemployment rate rlimhed from 6.8 per cent in June to 7.S per cent In July after making allowances for this seaxonnl variation.

The rate was 4.2 per cent a year ago. The government report said the "overall job picture did not change significantly in July." The July employment total was the highest since last fall before the recession resulted in payroll cutbacks. The unemployment' figure compared with a 17-year high of 5.437,000 in June. The report said there was some job improvement in the auto parts industry in July, apparently in anticipation of the changeover to new 1959 models. But the automakers themselves continued to trim payrolls.

The charge was leveled by Joseph W. Reap, State Department spokesman. He noted that the action has been accompanied "by the usual flow of Chinese Communist broadcasts threatening to 'liberate' Taiwan (Formosa)." This country, he said, was "watching closely" Red China's large-scale shipments of "Soviet-type jet fighter planes" to several previously unoccupied coastal airfields a few minutes' flying time from Formosa. Officials said the planes were the latest model MIG-17 and MIG-19 fighters.
