(AP) leaders are maoping a counterattack intended to beat back Nikita Khrushchev's assault on the structure of the United Nations and to turn his offensive into a defeat for Communist policy. The historic 15th General Assembly, in recess for the weekend, resumes debate Monday un- der clouds of crisis and amid speculation the Soviet premier aims to paralyze the world organization's peace enforcement machinery unless he can get his way. The counterattack may be spearheaded in the assembly by Britain's Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, who arrives Sunday and sees President Eisenhower Tuesday.

W) Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev Saturday night that unless his plan for revamping the United Nations is adopted "we will likewise be unable to solve the disarmament question." The Russian leader tossed these conditions into his interna tional proposals at a 40-minute news conference held outside the Russians' palatial mansion here.

Khrushchev, in what amounted to a rebuttal to the U.S. claim that his proposals are a "declaration of war" on the U.N., launched into an extended review of his views. The Soviet Premier bitterly at- Association Banquet Set October 19 The 39th annual banquet of the Lake Charles Association of Commerce will be held October 19 in the Officers' Open mess at nault Air Force base, banquet chairman James Price announced Saturday. Sam li, Puckett is in charge of securing the principal speaker for the event, and menu arrangements have been completed. The banquet room will scat 475 to 600 persons.

Chairman for arrangements is Robert Pumnelly with Ernest C. Schindler as vice-chairman to arrange for parking, seating, and usberdg.

A 10 bi is yet tacked U.N. Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold. Then he proceeded to link his U.N. proposals for a three member executive body to the question of disarmament. He said if disarmament is reached, the negotiations so far indicate it would be administered by an International army.

But he said such an international force is impossible under the command of a single man like Hammarskjold, He called the secretary-general a lackey of the "imperialist powers." Therefore, he said, the U.N. should have three secretaries general as he proposes one chosen by what he called the "Imperialist, capitalist, colonialist powers," one picked by the "socialist," or Communist powers, and one chosen by the neutrals. "If we are unable to solve this question we will likewise be unable to solve the disarmament question," Khrushchev said solemnly. He did not spell out, however, what lie would do about disarmament if his U.N. reoganizatlon proposal is not accepted.

To have a U.N, force command- cd by Hammarskjold, he "would mean creating the armed forces who would destroy us, (the Communist powers) and body who would entertain that idea would be completely mad." He said it would be all very well if Hammarskjold could represent all three interests, those of the West, the Communists and the neutrals. "But it is practically impossible to find a person who would combine three," he torn "It is said it li Gaa alone who could combine three persons, let him rvnain IB the imagination oi those who him up," the Soviet leader added, Kbrusuchev had 25 newsmen photographers admitted to bis spacious Long Jdaod the cuuciusioa an ao-mioute meet- UN Ptge 8 posals to revise the U. machinery. The assembly also will await with eager interest what Prime Minister Nehru of India, a leading spokesman for neutralist nations, has to say. Nehru also arrives Sunday.

The battle over U. N. structure was not the only one shaping up. The vigorous diplomatic activity of this weekend reflects the struggle over the future of emerging, independent nations. Africa is the center of the burgeoning conflict.

Heavy emphasis on Africa.was underscored by U. S. Secretary of State Christian A. Herter's activities. Herter invited a group of African leaders to a Sunday luncheon, giving him a chance to learn their reaction to Khrushchev's bid for their sympathy.

Khrushchev proposed Friday that the assembly discuss immediate Independence for all colonies, trust territories, leased territories and dependencies. Gamal Abdel Nasser, president of the United Arab Republic and a leading spokesman for the Arab and Moslem world, talked in New York with President Tito of Communist-ruled Yugoslavia, who has pictured himself to the assembly as a spokesman for neutralist buffers between the Communist powers of the East and the Western alliance. Khrushchev invited Nasser to a conference Saturday night at the Soviet delegation's Glen Cove, Long Island estate. Khrushchev got State Department permission to spend the weekend there after having been originally restricted to Manhattan during his stay as chief of the Soviet U. N.

delegation. Revoluclon, Castro's Havana newspaper voice, went down the line Saturday for all Khrushchev's U. N. proposals. Castro's regime has just emphasized its support for the Red bloc by recognizing Communist China and North Korea.

The session will open in an atmosphere of gloom, imposed by Khrushchev's attacks on the ture and location of the U. Herter characterized that as a "declaration of war" on the U. machinery. The West is seeking ways of bringing about a resounding vote of confidence in the main target of Khrushchev's attacks, Secre. tary-General Dag Hammarskjold grudge.

"I have a personal stake here," he said. "My younger brother married a Lou- slana girl Gaylin so I have a sister-in-law and two lovely nieces from Louisiana." He said his sister-in-law's parents were in the crowd. Nixon urged his audience not to "think in narrow terms of party label.

He said, "I don't know how Mr. Kennedy personally feels about the oil depletion allowance, but I think the Democratic platform is against it. If he and Johnson are against it, they ought to come to Louisiana and Texas and tell the people they're against it." Nixon drew cheers from tire shirt-sleeved crowd when he said that he was for continuance of the oil depletion allowance.

Tiptoeing up to civil rights, Nix on declared, "I talk about it as one with deep convictions. As I look at the issue I believe we must move forward. It's not just a problem here in the South. It's a problem in the East and the North and the West, too. "This is an issue that concern- not just ourselves.

It has intimate ties with the overriding issues of peace and the extension of free dom," Nixon said.
