Normally, seasonal factors

Unemployment rose by a lesser

Soviet Agrees
With u. S. on
Space Pact

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Dec. IL (AP).-The United
States and the Soviet Union
agreed today on a plan for
setting up a United Nations
body to cooperate in the
peaceful uses of outer space.
The final agreement was
reached by United States Am
bassador Henry Cabot Lodge
and Vastly v. Kuznetsov, So
Wet Deputy Foreign Minister,
after several weeks of private
negotiations.
The plan will be laid before
the U, N. Political Committee
for quick action before the
General Assembly ends its 1859
session tomorrow.
The proposal would create a
24-nation committee to study
outer space cooperation and
coordinate its exploration for
peaceful purposes.
The agreement broke a dead
lock which began last year
when the United States set up
a temporary committee OF 10
nations. This was boycotted by
the Soviet Union because of its
composition.
The proposed body would
give Communist and uncom-
mitted nations a larger repre-

been high-minded enough TO
awe even the most dedicated
Missionaries in his audience.
Beyond this. the President
has shown himself so eager to

dian sensibilities that he has
seemed at times to be talking
on tiptoe. Anything that might
be considered in the least "con-
