' Political committee voted today to establish a per manent international commis sion to patrol the Balkans. ; Though the General assembly must now act on the American sponsored proposal, today's vote in the Political committee - is considered clear indication that the U.

The committee approved two sections of the U.S. proposal, delaying action on a third which would fix on Yugoslavia, Al bania, and Bulgaria the blame for aggression against Greece. Recommended were establish ment of the "watchdog" com mission, and a section empower ing the commission to call at will special sessions of the Gen eral assembly. During debate on the patrol proposal Soviet Vice-foreign minister Vishinsky accused the U.S. of "timidity" in offering its compromise solution for the Balkan issue.

Dr. Henderson discussed tha topic "Oratory and Art oi the Public," centering his observa tions about the Di and how the status of the Di may be im proved. His discussion of ora tory included examples of false and true oratory.
