1967 Press Photo President of UN's General Assembly Romania's Corneliu Manescu

The 22nd session of the United Nations General Assembly convened Tuesday with gloomy assessments from the secretary-general and its outgoing president that a "psychology of force" increasingly grips the world. The tense Middle East and the war in Vietnam stood out as the crucial issues of the three-month session, although the Vietnam situation does not appear formally on the agenda. The assembly elected Corneliu Manescu, Romania's foreign minister, its new president. He is the first Communist to hold the office.
