Harried Homesteader

Greenwich, Conn, suspected out loud that it didn't want to be a part of the United Nations Organization world capital. But, like many another Connecticut and Westchester County town, it couldn't make up its mind. Last week it held an election to settle the matter. Of the 7,000 who voted, 5,000 were against being adopted. But this did not quiet the uproar. Only a minority of the town's 20,000 registered voters had troubled to vote.

At this point UNO's Dr. Stoyan Gavrilovic arrived from London. "Greenwich," he sniffed, "is a very small area. I think we can do very nicely without it." He went farther. Any other protests from the rolling Westchester-Connecticut commuters' paradise would also be considered. But he still made it plain that UNO hoped to settle in that general area.

Many a citizen guessed that the UNO site argument had only begun. Protests had been eddying like fog over the 42 square miles which Gavrilovic originally recommended. And though the General Assembly had instructed him to draw up alternative plans for smaller sites, UNO still hoped to get lots of land. "What," asked Dr. Gavrilovic, "can you do with five or ten square miles?"
