Thant choosing tonight for UN fate
Thant returns to the United Nations from Latin America and will announce whether he will seek a second term as secretary general. Most expect him to resign effective Nov 3, while some diplomats think he could be persuaded to stay 2 to 3 years. Western delegates see his resignation as a gambit to spur broader backing. The Soviet stance is unclear, with some informants indicating interest in his continuing.
