The center of the current storm kicked up by Khrushchev, Secretary-General Dap Hammarskjold, suddenly and unexpectedly appeared on the Assembly stage as its session resumed and said the Soviet proposals to chance the struc- ture and location of the U.N. raised a question not of one man but of the whole insti tution of the world organization.

Hammarskjold, indicating he might speak again later on during this session, put his position this way: "Use whatever words you like independence, impartiality, objectivity they all describe essential aspects of what, without exception, must be the attitude of the secretary-general. Such an attitude which has found its clear and decisive expression in the charter, may at any stage become an obstacle for those who work for certain political aims which would be better served or more easily achieved if the secretary-general compromised with this attitude. a standoff Monday night in history's first nationally televised debate between presidential candidates.

In any case, nobody could remember a longer one. The bearded Cuban leader spoke for 4 Vi hours. The record for the longest United Nations speech was made a few years ago by Foreign Minister V. K. Krishna Menon of India.

Speaking on the Kashmir question in the Security Council, the Indian diplomat spoke for seven hours' and 45 minutes over a two-day span. Castro and Krishna Menon both began their addresses with the same promise. They said they would be brief. Arbiter Of Manners I Dies In NY. NEW YORK, Seut.

Castro's speech lasted four hours and a half, wandering over virtually all international issues since the Spanish-American War. He had many of the representatives fascinated by his performance, although some took him in relays, walking out from time to time for breathers. It was so long that the Assembly steering committee, which had planned to take up urgent controversial measures, had to cancel its meeting set for Monday night. The delegate or Ihailand, who had been scheduled to speak after Castro, never made it. U.N.

26 President Eisenhower appealed Monday for "calm voices" to help check renewed attacks by Russia and her allies against United Nations leadership. At the same time, Eisen hower strongly backed U.N. Secretary-General Dag Ham-marskjold against Nikita Khrushchev's drive to fire him and revamp the international peace agency. The President, topping off a busy day of personal diplomacy, sought support from India's Prime Minister Nehru and President Game! Abdel Nasser of the United Arab Republic. He met for one hour with each of the two neutralist leaders.

Eisenhower joined Nehru in pledging to press ahead toward world disarmament as the surest way to ease dangerous East-West tensions.

Nixon, hospitalized two weeks ago with an infection in his left knee, bumped his right knee Monday night. Herbert Klein, the vice president's press secretary, reported that Nixon bumped his right knee while getting out of an automobile near the studio where he engaged in a debate with Sen. John F.

Kennedy. Klein said It was nothing serious, and he added: "He made a ioke of it and said, 'There goes the other Newsmen noted that when Nixon walked from his chair to the lectern during the debate he didn't limp. started moving again," he declared.

The Soviet Premier's statement was unequivo- cal and contained no reser- vation of any kind.

How- ever, he emphasized that it was contingent upon actual agreement on disarmament and dissolution of national military forces.

But If this base becomes a threat to our people, the revolutionary government Is seriously considering requesting within the framework of International law that naval and military forces be withdrawn from the Guantanamo base." Khrushchev jumped from his seat in the assembly hall at this point and led the Communist bloc and the Cubans in a round of vigorous applause.
