poets the Turkish agreement to

consideration" from the group.
The law requires. the agree
ment to lay before the committee

greSSmen have no authority TO
approve or disapprove it.
The committee yesterday
cleared the way to carry out a
limited exchange of nuclear
weapons information between
the United States and the IA
nations of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization.
Under an agreement an
nounced April 13 American au-
thorities will disclose the per-
formance and some other char
acteristics of atomic weapons to

Christmas
Trees With Care

The safest and most attractive
trees are those bought as late as
possible before Christmas" advises
Bob Bull, University of Delaware
marketing specialist. Select trees
that are fresh and green because
there's less ire hazard if you
avoid trees on. which the needles
are beginning to turn brown,
Bull says.
"Once the tree is purchased, it
should be stored in a cool, shady
place with the butt in water antil
it is brought into the house. 1t will
soak up this water better if you
saw of the butt diagOnally about l
inch above the original cut. If pos
sible, sprinkle the foliage with wa
ter daily until the tree is decorated.
"a few simple precautions viii
keep the tree from drying out too
much. Keep it away from freplaces,
television sets, radiators and other
sources Of heat. Keep the butt in a
cOntainer we'll filed with water.
''When you set up the tree, don
put it in a wobbly holder. And, for
safety's sake, never use lighted
candles on or near the tree. Also
check Christmas light cords to see
that they aren't frayed or worn.
Never depend on 'fireproofing
a treas 1000 safety measure
The resin in all trees make genuine
lfireproofing almost impossible. In
Ivestigation at the Forest Products
Laboratory in Madison, Wisconsin
has shown that fire retardant chem,
icals often do more harm thar
good.
