Security Council, the State Department said yesterday.

Press officer Warren Mag-ruder gave this response quoting U.S. Ambassador Arthur J. Goldberg, when asked about reports that the United States had objected to representatives of the National Liberation Front appearing before the U.N. General Assembly in October. MAGRUDER DID NOT specifically answer the question of whether the United States had blocked a New York appearance by the NLF.

Communist China sent representatives to the U.N. Security Council in 1950 to present arguments justifying intervention in the Korean War and to denounce the United Nations as an American-dominated organization. There appears to be a vivid National Life To Aid Cities (Continued From Page One) Efi two-bedroom units at $125 monthly, 93 three-bedroom units at $145. and 10 four-bedroom units at the same price as for three bedrooms. LIFE INSURANCE companies across the country made commitments based on a percentage of their assets as of Dec.

31, 1966. National Life's commitment of is the largest in the South. The FHA rent supplement housing project is designed to provide adequate housing for low income families, to alleviate slum conditions. Tenants pay 25 of their monthly income as rent, with the federal government subsidizing the balance. One-fourth of the units in each project can be subsidized lOOTo if the need exists.

Weaver said President Johnson described the life insurance industry program, in which National Life is taking a lead, as "an historic contribution to your country," and "a major investment in improving American life." The Knoxville project will consist of 144 units, located at Western and Nolan Avenue, adjacent to Knoxville College. It will be located on a 10-acre tract. The National Life loan for this construction totals and will also be for 40 years. THE KNOXVILLE complex will include 72 two-bedroom units, renting for $120 per month, and 72 three-bedroom units renting for $140 monthly. Guaranty Mortgage Co.

of Nashville originated the loan and will service them for National Life. Guaranty also arranged for the short-term construction loans on the two projects to be made here by First American National Bank, and in Knoxville by the Hamilton National Bank. Mc-Kissack and McKissack. Nashville architects, are preparing plans for both projects. Weaver said, "We are delighted to undertake this program to help improve living conditions for a number of our fellow citizens.

We feel it is a most worthwhile program, and are proud to be able to participate." "The strength of our free enterprise system lies in the ability and willingness of private business to invest its resources in the essential solution of public problems." Weaver continued. "We hope that business and irdustry throughout America will join the life insurance industry in taking the responsibility for such remedies to our urban problems." memory here of that appearance and a distaste in U.S. official circles for any propaganda show in the United Nations by the NLF. which is the political arm of the Viet Cong. NORTH VIETNAM; has consistently refused to acknowledge that the United Nations has any role to play in a Vietnam war as a thread to world peace.

The State Department spokesman, in seeking to refute the New York reports, said the U.S. attitude was expressed on Nov. 2 by Goldberg and his testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Goldberg said then: "WITH RESPECT TO groups such as the National Liberation Front, Rule 29 of the Security Council is the applicable rule and the United States would not stand in the way of groups including the National Liberation Front being invited under that rule." There are indications that the relations between the Johnson administration and U.N. Secretary General Thank are becoming strained again over the Vietnam issue.

Secretary of State Dean Rusk, who had arranged to call on Thant yesterday morning prior to addressing an Italian-American labor conference, canceled the session Friday night. His spokesman here said that it was called off because Thank and Goldberg are deeply engrossed in the Cyprus question. There is no indication when Rusk would see Thant on the Vietnam problem. Thant has told the United States that the United Nations could not play a peacemaking role in the Vietnam conflict until the American bombing of North Vietnam is halted.
