Kennedy Talks In U.N. After Gromyko:
6We Can Fly to The Moon Together!’
Bp FRANK CORMIER
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. Lfi — j
President Kennedy today noted
the apparent pause in the cold war
and called for new U. S.-Soviet
co-operation, including a joint ex
pedition to the moon.
He also urged new efforts to ban
weapons of mass destruction from
outer space.
The President addressed the
U. N. General Assembly which
Thursday heard a policy declara
tion from Soviet Foreign Minister
Andrei A. Gromyko. Kennedy
matched the moderate, conciliatory
tone set by Gromyko and hailed by
U. N. delegates as a welcome
change in the international at
mosphere.
Gromyko had this brief com
ment:

speech is conciliatory and this is
good. As to the concrete proposals
made in the speech I would pre
fer not to comment now because I
would like to study them more
thoroughly.”
The one jarring note was a boy
cott by the Cuban delegation, whose
seats were conspicuously vacant in
the crowded chamber.
The public wras excluded from the
galleries for security reasons, but
the seats were packed with spec
tators — including members of
the 111 U. N. staff personnel.
In a major foreign policy pro
nouncement Kennedy said the ne
gotiation of a limited nuclear test
ban treaty — which he predicted
would win “overwhelming en
dorsement” from the U. S. Senate
next week — could prove “the
start of a long and fruitful jour
ney” toward peace.
And he said it might be fol

lowed by a joint American-Soviet
effort to place the first humans
on the moon, “not as the repre
sentatives of all humanity.”
In his address, Kennedy also
called for steps toward disarma
ment and a broader test ban, abo
lition of racial and religious dis
crimination everywhere, and new
efforts to strengthen the United
Nations as an instrument of inter
national co-operation.
In his only reference to Gro
myko’s talk, Kennedy said:
“We must continue to seek
agreement, encouraged by yes
terday’s affirmative response to
this proposal, by the Soviet foreign
minister, on an arrangement to
keep weapons of mass destruction
out of outer space.”
With the reference to Gromy
ko’s speech, which also called for
a summit conference on disarma
ment next year, Kennedy went on
to make his dramatic proposal for
the joint moon shot.
In space, Kennedy said, both the
United States and the Soviet Union
have “a special capacity.” Further
more, he argued, both have agreed
through the United Nations that
they will make no territorial
claims in space.
Having prepared this backdrop,
Kennedy said:
“Why, therefore, should man’s
first flight to the moon be a mat
ter of national competition? Why
should the United States and the
Soviet Union, in preparing for
such expeditions, become involved
in immense duplications of re
search, construction and expendi
ture?
“Surely we should explore whe
ther the scientists and astronauts
of our two countries — indeed of
all the world — cannot work to
gether in the conquest of space,
sending some day in this decade
to the moon, not the representa
tives of a single nation, but the
representatives of all humanity.”
