| Description: | HISTORIC UN SESSION In New York city, the 15th session of the united nations general assembly becomes a fateful and historic meeting, with more world leaders than ever before in history assembled in one locale. Eisenhower’s motorcade, waving. U N General Assembly. Thunderous applause. Khrushchev pounding fist on table, grinning outrage. Castro speaks for a record 4 hours. Courtesy calls and conversations. At stake between east and west are the neutralist nations of the world. The diplomatic whirl of activity; with such names involved as Nehru, Nasser, Tito, Castro and many others; noticeably ruffles New York’s famous casualness towards the high and the mighty. | |
