In a policy speech prepared for the UN General Assembly, Green underscored a problem that has been haunting the world organization for years but has been acute since the start of the UN operation in the Congo last year. Secretary-General Dag Ham- marskjold said before his death in a plane crash Sept. 18 that the UN would be "'virtually with- out funds" by the end of Sep- tember--a prophecy that proved only too accurate. The trouble is that many UN| members have not paid their shares of the cost of running the UN forces in the Middle East and in the Congo -- forces in which Canada has been active since their inception. Hammarskjold got by partly by using money from one UN source to feed another but Green said today: '""A limit has been reached to the process of raiding one reserve fund to sup- port another."

During the committee's first day of a study of the problems posed by natural gas storage, the owners sought a county-wide bargaining unit.

The Mayor pointed out that all fast-growing municipalities were striving to redevelop down- town areas to minimize costly urban sprawl into raw farm- lands, necessitating new roads, sewers and other strvices. "Here we have a well-engineer- ed plan that would give our whole downtown business area a shot in the arm," Mayor Thomas said. She predicted that the new commercial facilities would make downtown Oshawa a greater magnet, attracting more business into the whole downtown area.

The 1,300 delegates put up a solid front against the move Monday as they drafted a policy program. The stand was expressed by Frank Cousins, general secre- tary for the Transport and Gen- eral Workers Union and its 1,- 000,000 members. He said he is against wage restraint, proposed by Prime Minister Macmillan's govern- ment, "in any form, shape or disguise." The government move is de- signed to make British industry more competitive in world mar- kets.

DETROIT (AP)--Members of the United Auto Workers went on strike against the Ford Mo- tor Company today as company and union negotiators appar- ently remained deadlocked on a new contract agreement Acting under union orders, some 120,000,000 Ford hourly workers walked off the job. UAW leaders here telephoned walkout instructions to locals across the United States in ob- servance of its 11 am EDT strike deadline. It was the first nation-wide strike against Ford by the UAW since company workers were or- ganized by the union in 1941, An estimated 10,000 workers at Ford's huge Rouge plant in Dcarbgrn, Mich., jumped the strike deadline by two hours.
