is nine months old. His head
is extremely large for the
small body. He has water
on the brain.
When his mother recently
took Johnny to the Birth De-

bilt University School of Medi-
cine, Nashville, Tenn, for
specialized treatment of this
disease, known medically as
hydrocephalus, their first ap-
pointment was with a doctor
who had most unusual assist
ant-an inanimate electronic
sorter.
DR.. Robert E. Merrill, assist
ant director of the Birth De-
fects Study Center, a research
unit financed by The National

explained:
This apparatus is something
unique when applied to birth
defects. 1t can be a Hfesaver.
It's an IBM machine, and its
memory is many thousand
times more retentive than the
proverbial elephants. In effect,
our mechanical robot here is
going to interview Johnny and,
although I'm Johnny's doctor,
I'm really acting only as a sort
of glorified office boy to the

A-Bun Talks
Held VituI
ByKennedy

President Kennedy stressed
today that the United States
attaches "the highest import
ance" to last-ditch negotiations
for an effective ban on nuclear
testing to be resumed Thursday
in Geneva.
The President issued a brief
statement after conferring in
| his office with Arthur Dean, his
chief negotiator on the nuclear
test issue, before Mr.. Dean re-
turns to Geneva.
Calling Mr.. Deans trip a
most vital mission, the Presi-
dent said "he goes with my full
support and confidence"
Our proposed treaty." he
added, carries hope for our
country and for the world, for
relief from great dangers, and
the United States continues to
attach the highest Importance
to these negotiations.
"We must all hope that the
Soviet Union will make some
affirmative response to this re-
newed effort"
Agreement has been blocked
so far by Soviet inSistence on
the so-called "troika" system of
supervision, which the West
contends would give Russia a
veto over inspections and make
any test ban ineffective.
The President has made clear
that he will call off the negotia-
tions unless the Soviet attitude
changes to permit progress to-
ward an effective treaty soon.
The Soviet delegate at Geneva
said last week that the talks
appear doomed to failure.

Mr.. Kennedy:
The Vice President has given
me a report on his remarkably
successful and important trip
to West Germany and West
Berlin. His report emphasizes
the confidence and trust which
the people of West Berlin have
in this country and in its COM
mitments, and it places a heavy
responsibility upon all of us to
meet that responsibility.
I want to express my thanks
to him for this most important
service he has rendered to our
country, and to Gen. Nu-
cius d. Clay who accompanied
him, who was the commandant
in Berlin during the airlift in
the late 40s-and Mr.. (CharleS)

The Secretary of State, Mr.

are going to pass through diff
ficult weeks and months in the
