Too often children and
parents accept acne as q
normal part Of teen years. It
Is easy to see why they do
this. More than 10 per cent
Of all teen-agers have acne to
some degree.
The changes which make
adolescents more susceptible
to this skin problem are
normal. The change in the
hormone setup at this age
causes the little oil glands to
become unusually active and
the openings Of the glands
may become plugged thus
causing pimples and black
heads. Early treatment can
cure or improve this condi-
ton, and very important,
may prevent soaring.

TRUJILLOS WANT THEIR
 NAMES OFF MONUMENTS

CIUDAD TRUJILLO, Domini- can Republic LR - Rafael Tru- jillo's sons and his widow have asked President Joaquin Bala- guer to take their names off pub lic-works monuments throughout the country.
 Gen. Rafael Trujillo Jr, his brother Rhadamas, and their mother asked that their names be replaced by those of important people or important events in the national history" Under the dic- tator, who was assassinated last month, virtually every piece of public construction in the coun- try was named for some member of the Trujillo family.

US. House Tables Postal Rate Increase Bill

WASHINGTON LR - An ad- ministration request for a $741- million increase in postal rates was turned down Thursday by the House Post Office Committee.
 The action apparently killed any hopes for action by Congress this year on a bill that had been strongly backed by administration leaders.
 Postmaster General J. Edward Day and Secretary of the Treas ury Douglas Dillon urged the in- crease to help wipe out the Post Office Departments expected 1862 deficit of $843 million.
 The administration had asked for these increases: First-class letter rate from 4 to cents and airmail from 7 to 8 cents. It also proposed that second-class mail rates be increased an average of 79 per cent and third class an average of 40 per cent.
 The motion to table the bill had strong support from both Re publicans and Democrats on the committee.

Commerce Dept. To Permit Sale of Farm Goods to Soviet Union

WASHINGTON LR - The Com merce Department n n 0 u n d yesterday policy change to per init the sale of subsidized farm surpluses to the Soviet Union and her European satellites.
 In the past. only Poland was permitted to buy such products. Surplus commodities could be shipped to other Communist coun- tries only if they were produced without federal subsidy.
 Under the new policy, the de- partment generally will allow shipments of any surplus goods if the importing country agrees to pay for them with convertible currency.
 Subsidized items involved in- clude feed grains, wheat and wheat flour, cotton and cotton textiles, rice and non-fat dry milk.

Top US. Officials View Khrushchev's East-West Issues

WASHINGTON R - U. s. Of ficials yesterday viewed Soviet Premier KhruShchev's latest dec laration on East-West issues as a Setup in his post-Vienna cold war campaign.
 At a Moscow rally Wednesday, Khrushchev said a peace treaty with Germany will be signed lat the end of this year" And he de- clared that if the United States resumes atomic testing, the So- vietS immediately will do so too.
 He set forth his Berlin time table more precisely than he did during or since his talks at Vienna June 3-4 with President Kennedy.
 Under KhruShchev's plan for a treaty with East Germany, the SovietS would give the Communist East German regime over access to Berlin. The Western Powers, which do not recognize East Ger many. regard this as a move to push them out of the Red-encir- cled city.
 U. S. experts, still studying the text of Khrushchev's remarks, were of differing opinions as to whether the Soviet Chief had served an ''ultimatum" on the Ger man question.
 It was recalled that Khrush- chev once before set a six-month deadline on German peace treaty without going through with

Plotted To Assassinate
 Adlai Stevenson

NEW YORK R - The New York World-Telegram and Sun reported yesterday that group of extremists plotted to kill United Nations Ambassador Adlai Stevenson on his recent visit to Buenos Aires.
 The newspaper also reported that a U. s. security guard, who had conferred with Argentine police about the alleged assassina- tion attempt, was shot and critical ly wounded by gunmen four days after Stevenson left.
 The newspaper gave this ac- count:
 "A few days before MT. Steven son arrived in Argentina on June 2, Buenos Aires police were tipped off that there might be an attempt to kill him.
 "Communists and supporters of busted Dictator Juan Peron had joined forces for an anti-Ameri- can demonstration during the Stevenson visit.
 "A few of the most fanatic Pe- allegedly decided to as- sassinate the ambassador in order to create an international incl dent that would damage the gov ernment of President Arturo 
 "A police roundup of Peronista extremists began and maximum security measures were taken to protect MT. Stevenson. No at tempt on his life was made. The plotters went into hiding.
 Among those who worked on the security arrangements was James Lecinsky, a U. S. Marine attached to the American Embassy in Buenos Aires. MT. Lecinsky reportedly conferred with Argen- tine police about the assassination plot.
 "At 6 a. m. on June 12, four days after MT. Stevenson left Ar gentina MT. Lecinsky was over taken by gunmen in downtown Buenos Aires near the Foreign Ministry. Two or more in a car pulled alongside him and opened fire with machine pistols.
 "Hit several times, he was rushed to a downtown hospital for emergency treatment and then was quietly transferred to a pri- vate hospital in the suburb of La Plata"
 The newspaper said Lecinsky had been unconscious ever since.

a separate pact with East Ger many. Also, it remained to be seen how far the Kremlin actu- ally would move to push the Western Allies out of West Berlin if it did conclude an East German treaty.
 Nevertheless, U. s. authorities took Khrushchev's warning on Germany with great seriousness. Discussions were under way with Western Allies.
 KhruShchev's threat to resume nuclear tests was similar to state ments he has made before. U. s. officials believe he is not inter ested in getting a treaty out lawing atomic explosions.
 Kennedy strategists figure that Khrushchev wants to prod the United States into breaking off the lengthy Geneva conference on a nuclear test ban treaty and have the United States be the first to set off new atomic explosions.

How System Works
Dark-fired tobacco is graded
into five major groupings. "B"
or heavy leaf. grown at or above
the center portion of the stalk:
the &C. or thin leaf. grown at
the center portion of the stalk;
"A" or wrapper group. grown in
either the "A or "B" position.
but of the finest injury-free tex
ture; the *" or lug group or
leaves grown at the bottom of
the stalk, and the IN" or monde
script group which falls below
the classifications for any of the
others.
Quality is the second and
major factor and here the grad
er must choose among five, num-
bered from | to and described
as choice To; fine 20; good t3l:
fair az and low 81.
The grader has official USDA
haEdbooks with minute descrip-
tons to help with his selections.
It is quality that is the biggest
price determinant.
Dark tobacco has five color
distinctions, IL" for light brown;
Fl" for medium brown; ID" for
dark brown; IN" for mixed
colors, and &C" for green or i'm
mature or crude tobacco.
After determining the grade,
the grader must still classify the
leaf as to length, in which there
are five choices, from AZ to AZ
inches. Most of the grades carry
different prices for the various
lengths, with the As length uSu-
ally the highest.
Thus the tobacco gets some
final classification, or grade like
this: BlF-45. That would be
choice, m u m brown heavy
leaf of As length. That grade is
pegged at $58. 1t goes down to a
$35 peg for fifth or low quality.
Another might be C2L-46, or
fine light brown thin leaf of as
length. That grade is pegged at
$57.
Each grade has a bottom
price. or price support peg. Com
petitive b d ding starts at ST
above the peg price, the small
est spread at which a buyer may
acquire leaf. If the buyers don't
want the tobacco. it goes into the
government pool, and the farmer
earns the peg price. The great
majority of the tobacco is sold at
several dollars above peg prices.
