Soviet Deputy Foreign Min
lister Zorin protested yesterday
to John J. McCloy. President

wiser, about a Washington Star
report Tuesday on the Zorin-
McCloy disarmament talks
here.
Mr.. Zorin repeatedly COM
planned that someone in the
American delegation had vio-
lated an agreement that the
talks would be held in private
with no briefings of the press
beyond agreed-upon communi-
ques. He also repeatedly as
serted that there were mac
curacies in the published report
on the Soviet position.
The protested story said that
the opening session Of the talks
on Monday had dealt with
what should be taken up at
general disarmament talks to
begin July 81, rather than who
should take part in those talks.
It also said the Russians are
maintaining that the only OBJ
iective Of the talks should be
to write a treaty on general
and complete disarmament" in
four years, whereas the United
States is resisting the idea that
only complete disarmament
can be discussed.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j.,
June % (AP).-The gnarled
old oak that inspired Joyce
Kilmer to write his poem
Trees" is dying.
"Kilmer Oak" nearly 300
years old, still stands proudly
on the campus of Rutgers Uni
versity, but age is taking it's
toll. A dozen branches failed
to bloom this spring and a
large cash developed in its
trunk.
Its an out-and-out case of
senility," says DR.. Edward B.
wilkins, director of Rutgers
campus planning. But he said
the tree will not be chopped
down. And its lineage is being
continued.
The Student Forestry Club
has planted one of its acornS
nearby and the Rutgers staff is
carefully nursing the seed along.
Mr.. Kilmer was killed in
action in France on July 80,
1918. He was a sergeant with
New York'S Fighting 69th"
Regiment.
The poet was born here in
1886 and attended Rutgers and

Health And sofety Tips
From The American
Medical Association

Ever wake up, or at least about
half awake, in the night with a
splitting headache? Or a pain in
the tummy? And stumble into the
bathroom and reach for a bottle
in the medicine cabinet? And gulp
down pill or two, or spoonful
of medicine?
Sure. All of us have. And we are
really risking serious trouble in
taking medicine carelessly.
The medicine was prescribed by
your physician, and he included
careful and specific orders for size
and frequency of dose and how to
take it. The American Medical As
sociation reports there is a good,
sound reason for these orders, and
they're meant to be followed.
A few simple rules for taking
medicine can help to avoid an ac-
cident that may make your minor
discomfort a lot worse.
Never take medicine in the
dark. You should be certain you
can see the bottle or pill box, to
make certain it's the right one.
Read the directions carefully
before taking. Those directions are
there because they're needed.
Don't increase the dose or take
it more often than directed with
out checking with your doctor.
If the label says Shake Be-
fore Using" it means what it saws.
Shake it.
