U Thant Gains Soviet Support For Second Term As Top UN Man MOSCOW (AP)--U Thant has been assured the support of the Soviet Union for another term as secretary - general of the United Nations, but says he has not made up his mind yet, in- formed sources reported today. The sources said Premier Ko- sygin told Thant during a long talk Tuesday the Soviet govern- ment wants him to accept re- election when his current five- year term expires Nov. 3. Thant is to announce by early September whether he will seek re-election, Vice - President Hubert Hum- phrey announced U.S. support of a second term for Thant last month and Britain and France also have endorsed asecond term publicly. With this support there is no doubt Thant can re- main if he wants to. The secretary-general is cho- sen by the General Assembly | } on recommendation of the See curity Council. The assembly's annual session begins Sept, 20, Thant has urged UN members to try to find another candidate because he wants to spend more time with his family and to re- turn to his home in Burma. Thant spent three hours in conference with Kosygin Tues- day and a UN spokesman said afterward they had "a free, frank exchange of views" on Viet Nam, disarmament and European problems. The spokesman would not say whether the question of the UN deficit, which results largely from the refusal of Russia and France to pay their share of UN peacekeeping cosis, came up. Before leaving for New York Friday, he is expected to meet the general secretary of the So- viet Communist party, Leonid Brezhnev. |.
