"I see nothing but danger in the idea, so assiduously fostered outside Viet Nam, that the con- flict is a kind of holy war be- tween two powerful political ideologies." WASN'T OPTOMISTIC In a generally gloomy state- ment on world events during the last 12 months, Thant blamed the Viet Nam war for seriously damaging "the chances of fruitful international co-opera- tion on man ycrucial issues in which the United Nations has a clear responsibility for decision and action," notably those relat- ing to disarmament and to the development of poor countries. The U.S. government defends its actions in Viet Nam on the theory that it is there to help the South defeat Communist ag- gression from the North and sub- versive activity by the Viet Cong guerrilla Summarizing the -nroblems facing delegates to. the General Assembly, 'which ns its 1966 session Tuesday, Thant: I liure oF « apecial cominitt ing operatiéns to agree on any specific recommendations to the assembly. 2, Warned that scientific de- velopments could lead to a. new and greatly accelerated nuclear arms race unless the partial test-ban treaty of August, 1963, is extended to prohibit under- ground tests. 3.)

Told Britain it needs to take bolder measures against the Ian Smith government in Rhodesia, "even though they may be more difficult now to carry out than they would have been some months ago." DOESN'T WANT TO STAY As the session drew nearer, Thant was still under. consider- able pressure from many UN members, including the United States and the Soviet Union, to reconsider his decision, an- nounced Sept. 1, to retire as sec- retary . general. Thant's first five-year term expires Nov, 3 and last Thursday, in a speech to UN correspondents, he said. member countries had better get on with the job of finding a successor. The Burmese diplomat has in- \dicated that failure of efforts by himself and many others to move the Viet Nam dispute to the conference table was a ma- jor factor in his decision to re- tire, He said in his report he has done his best to cut down the fighting in Viet Nam and get peace talks started. But, "I have been increas- ingly distressed to observe that discussions of the matter (the Viet Nam conflict) have by and large been dominated by con- sideration and analysis of the power politics involved, and that there has been mush less con- cern for the tremendous human suffering which the conflict has entailed for the people of Viet Nam: and aiso for the posse St other countries invoivea in te fighting." r SHOULD BE FIRM In his criticism of tne peave- keeping committee, whieh was assigned the task of finding a universally acceptable legal and financial basis for UN peace forces such as those on Cyprus and' the Israeli-Egyptian fron- tier, Thant said its "negative" report shows a stubborn dis- agreement on basic principles and "'a reluctance to come to grips with the problem." "T must draw attention to the fact that the peacekeeping ac- tivities of the United Nations, perhaps more .than any other part of its work, have enabled the organization to gain a mea- sure of public confidence which is in danger of being lost if the member states remain dead- locked on the constitutional and financial questions involved."

Reports of the sighting were received from points as far apart as Sarnia, Ont., and Den- ver, Col. Most reports of the meteor's progress came from the Great Lakes area, but Quebec Provin- cial Police said it was seen fall- ing through the skies above the Montreal area. An official at the U.S. Coast Guard station in Port Huron, Mich. said the fireball was tracked on a radar screen. He said that apparently the meteor broke up and the bulk .of it landed in Lake Huron off Har- miles north of Sarnia, " As the meteor broke up a shower of sparks cascaded earthwards. FIRES REPORTED In Sudbury, there were re- ports that fragments of the me- teor landed in that area, caus- ing two fires, One fragment was reported in the Huntsville, Ont, area and another in Port Carl- ing, Ont. A brush fire in the Midland, Ont. area, believed to have been started by fragments of the 'me- teor, was also reported. Bruce Connon of London, Ont., a pilot flying from Peter- borough to London, said a me- teor fell past his plane about one mile north of Woodstock, He said he was flying at about 4,000 feet when the fireball path, An explanation of the nature of the meteor was given Satur- day night by Dr. Helen Hogg of the David Dunlop Observa- tory in Toronto. Dr, Hogg said she had not seen the meteor, but observed that eyewitness accounts did not mention hearing any sound, She said a body as big as a meteor would have created a rumbling or booming sound. She said that as a general rule a meteor can be heard if it passes within five to 10 miles of witnesses. HEARD NOISE Crew members aboard a U.S, Coast Guard lightship on Lake Huron five miles south of Sarnia said they heard a noise de- scribed as a deafening thud fireball. Provincial police in Timag- ami, 70 miles north of North Bay, reported one or more sec- tions of the meteorite landed in their area. However, none of the sections had been. found. Mel Inche, provincial police constable of the Huntsville de- tachment, said Sunday he saw a "white flame with a tail 200 to 300 feet long" land in the bush, north of Huntsville. "After it landed, it emitted a bright glow for several sec- onds,"' he said. Police searched for fragments Sunday but. could not find any. Another section of the meteor- ite was reported to have struck the ground between Brace- bridge and Port Carling. Neither police in Bracebridge or Bala, a nearby town, were able to locate it, : increases," he said in a statement.
