Wednesday, Oct. 5, 1966 chance, and the question in the minds of many is how long the United Nations can count on getting such men as Thant, Dag Hammarskjold and Trygve Lie.

Under the U.N. Charter the office of secretary-general is open to all. In practice many distinguished leaders are barred by unwritten law, tradition and the threat of a big power veto. It has been accepted by now that the secretary-general must come from a small, nonaligned country and must be acceptable to all the big powers. This nar- the field to those who have either been relatively obscure or who have avoided involvement in major controversies.

As Lie himself tells it, "It was generally agreed that the secretary-general should not be an American because this would give too much to a single member nation. The United States itself took the view that an American should not be secretary-general." The big powers decided.each would have a representative in the "cabinet" of the secretary- general. This was put into practice by Lie, although he felt that this decision encroached on his own authority to select his assistants. Some of the men eventually selected under this arrangement went on to establish themselves as international figures, although none was ever considered eligible to become head of the United Nations. These included Ralph J.

Hoffman, head of the U.N. Devolpment program; David Owen, British economist who has been with the United Nations since its beginning; and two top Soviet members of the secretariat, Arkady, A.

Sobolev and Anatoly Dobrynin. Sobolev later returned as head of the Soviet U.N. Delegation; Dobrynin is now ambassador to Washington. Except for the fact that they were representatives of big powers any one of this group might have been considered a logical choice for the post of secretary-general. Thus the United Nations has had a Norwegian, a Swede and a Burmese as secretary-general.

But the membership of the organization has undergone a major change since 1945. More than half its 119 members are Asian and African countries. Names mentioned as Thant's possible successor have come from all parts of the world, but there may be a strong move to choose an African. One difficulty is that most fthe African prospects are untried, controversial among the Africans themselves, or are too closely identified with one of the big powers. No strongly backed candidate has, emerged.

Stanley Greigg and GOP challenger Wiley Mayne. nation's -political eyes cocked toward Iowa where five fresh-faced Democratic congressmen were swept into office by the 1964 Johnson landslide. Whether these freshmen Democrats, all from traditionally Republican districts, will be sweot right back out in 1966 is the year's biggest question. But it appears that if the experts are looking for auguries in Iowa's 6th District this September, they will be disappointed. At this moment, the race seems to be as close as it is enigmatic.

The opinions of Democratic county chairmen in the 18-county district range from cautiously optimistic to downright ebullient over Greigg's chances of winning in their counties, and in the district as a whole. The congressman's strength lies, they feel, in (1) "What he has accomplished for Northwest Iowa" (2) his numerous appearances in the district and (3) his "youth and vitality." But most of the leaders temper their enthusiasm with the realities of voter registration figures, heavily Republican in most portions of the district. All recognize the fight they have on their hands, but no county leader seems willing to admit defeat. In counties Greigg carried last tune, Democrats are confident the former Sioux City mayor will increase his margin. Where he lost in 1964, party chiefs speak of slicing his deficit, or even of reversing the vote this November.

Greigg seems to be particularly strong on the district's eastern fringe, in counties such as Sac, Kossuth and Palo Alto. There are two reasons for this: Democrats always have run well there, and Greigg's tireless of the district. Says one long-time party leader: "He's been closer to the people put here than any congressman I remember." The refrain sounded by another chairman is heard fire- Two Views of Italian actress Virna Lisi offer a startling Hollywood sees her in a recent publicity photograph, left, and as Italy sees her, right, in a new picture being filmed, "The Girl and the General." quently in talking to Democratic leaders: "Rep. Greigg has met his constituents and has done his job. It's easy to get our workers enthused where he is involved." But Repulican chairmen are equally sanguine.

They note that Greigg's winning margin in 1964, 53.2 per cent, is hardly insurmountable. They also feel that candidate Wiley Mayne's Sioux City residence will cut deeply into the big margin (62.6 per cent) from the district's largest city that used two years ago to weather-tight returns from the outlying counties. "If he (Greigg) loses much of that Sioux City vote, he's in trouble," said one GOP leader bluntly. "I think Wiley's made real inroads." Party chieftains around the district also note enthusiasm among the faithful. Dinners for in a couple of counties drew the biggest crowds for a political function in years, according to reports.

Republicans admit their best chance in unseating Greigg is in arousing their 1'e and getting them to the polls. Every county surveyed said get-out- the-vote campaigns were weighing heavily in their strategies. The GOP National Committee has sent a field organizer in to help with the task. Noted one chairman: "We're going have to win this thing on sheer numbers." While items such as inflation, federal spending and the Viet Nam war are being much discussed around the there seems to be some doubt as to how clear-cut the issues are in Northwest Iowa. One Republican surmised that the election will be little more than a popularity contest.

He admitted that the three new post offices Rep. wangled for his county were ing to help the congressman. Another leader, however, said congressional favors can have an adverse effect. "Irresponsibility with the taxpayers' money has sold well as an issue here. Greigg has told us we're to get a new post office and we don't even need one." Farmer unhappiness with Agriculture Secretary Orville Freeman is supposed to be a big issue in Iowa, but Democrats interviewed aren't afraid of it.

"When farmers get their prices this fall they won't "remember what Freeman ever said," discounted one county chairman. divided on this question. Some insist farmers in their counties are indeed resentful, while others tend to go along with the Democratic assessment. Republicans feel their candidate's oft-repeated charge that Greigg is a "rubber stamp" for the national administration is getting through to voters. They also think general dismay with" the war in Viet Nam will hurt Democratic office seekers, unless the situation changes there before November.
