UNITED NATIONS. NY. ~ -
The United States says the Soviets
viii have 10 trim their demands
for changes If they want 10 par
tieipate in President Eisenhower's
peaceful atom pool plan.
Russian objections 10 the pro-
posed pool were presented 10 the
u.N. last week by Soviet Delegate
Andrei Y. Vishinsky. He said
Moscow would like TO take part
but on conditions the West so far
refused 10 accept.
Chief US. Delegate Henry Cabut
Lodge Jr. describes Vishinsky's
speech before the Assemhly's main
Political Committee as "a magni-
ficent display of forensic fireworks
but very little substance 10 them"
Ledge said he would make a de-
tailed reply early this week.
Vlshinsky charged the United
States and its atomic partners re-
dueed the original Eisenhower pro-
posal to a mere shell BY:
l. Trying TO set up an interna-
tional atomic agency independent
of the Security Council. The So
viets want the body subjec, 10 the
council. in which they have a veto.
2. Attempting 10 make the
agency clearing house for mov.

land TO another. The Russian dele.
gate branded this an infringement
of national sovereignty.
;. Sponsoring a resolution which
makes no provision for a prior
pledge among the nations con-
eerned not 10 use nuclear weapons
In the future, Vishinsky added,
however, that the Kremli~ would
make such a pledge condition
for joining the agency.

HEALTH FOR ALL

You had wonderful time
 Two weeks doing just as you
 pleased. You got lots of fresh air
 sun, and exercise, and you slept
 like a baby every night. You
 came back feeling wonderful, al | the top of your form.
 Are you going to stay there
 or have you already begun to slip back into the same old rut? How many of us go through most of the year feeling pretty good'' not sick, of course, but not really well. Are we fated to know that glow of positive health only for few short weeks?
 A great many of the really seri- ous ills of mankind could be avoided if we could only stay somewhere near that vacation peak of health. Take tuberculos- IS, for example. Of course, it is by germ. But the heal thy body can usually fight the germs to standstill. It has been that 4O,0O0,00O Ameri- cans may have TB germs in their bodies. Those millions of people need not develop the disease, and probably most of them won't. But, judging by past years, 11O,- 900 of them will break down with TB in 1854.
 They will break down because of weakened resistance, because the germs finally win the battle against a body that only feels pretty good" Then begins the battle for life itself against a mer- ciless killer. Now modern medi- cal science mobilizes it's forces.
