First. Get A Head

LONDON LR - For cold take the juice of three double whistles - and pour it on your head.
 That's what happened at John DoWsett's pub, the Steam Engine.
 At first" said Dowsett, "I thought the three blokes were drunk"
 The men were Jamaicans. Said one of them, Hulut Taylor:
 Back home we usually use white rum to cure colds and head aches, but white rum's hard to get here, so we use whisky"
 I'm all in favor of this cure, naturally" said the pubkeeper. My whisky sales have gone up about 50 per cent. The cure works. I know, I've tried it"
 A spokesman for the British Medical Association, asked what he thought of it, replied:
 I'd say it's a woeful waste of good whisky"

Agreements With Russ Might be Accomplished, Says Sec. RuSk

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. R - Sec retary of State Dean RuSk says he hopes it will be possible 10 reach agreements with the Soviet Union lon safeguards against war by accident, miscalculation or surprise attack"
 In a speech before the National American Legion Convention last night, Rusk also set down more than a half dozen other areas in which he said agreements with Russia might be made.
 Tn seeking understandings with the Soviet Union," Rusk said, we do not expect to effect a miracu- lous change in Soviet intentions toward us. Our intention is to keep the conflict within tolerable bounds - to defend and build freedom without a thermonuclear holocaust"
 Besides safeguards against an unintended nuclear war, Rusk said, we favor also, though this will be more difficult to achieve, a slowing down of actual arms production and reductions in ex- isting levels of armaments - with adequate inspection"

SOUTH AFRICAN CALLERS RAISE ANCHORAGE POLICE

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa 'R - T hope your land is as calm as mine,' was the wish of an An chorage, Alaska, police sergeant when he spoke to the Johannes burg Star newspaper in the first telephone call made from this country on the new South Africa Alaska service.
 Sergeant Robert Lydell was the only Anchorage citizen the New York operator could raise for the Star on the 12,000 mile circuit spanning the Atlantic Ocean and the North American continent.
 A helpful but harrassed South African long-distance operator handled the call. After trying Sev- en numbers, including those of the mayor, the chief of police and the editors of two Anchorage news papers the operator finally got Sergeant Lydell on the line.
 Reception was good. It was easy to detect surprise in the sergeant's tone at being called all the way from remote South Africa. His first answers were guarded as if he thought he was being made the victim of some practical joker.
 The Star reports his impression of Johannesburg is that it is a big thriving city. When he mentioned racial conditions he talked of "The States" as if it were another coun- try.
 On behalf of Anchorage Ser geant Lydell sent the people of Johannesburg Best wishes for a peaceful future'

Stirs Some Hope
For Agreement
BY the Associated Press

The United States, Great
Britain and Russia launch here
today a major new effort to
reach a nuclear test ban agree
ment.
The conference is regarded
as the best chance in almost
two years to break the long
deadlock. However United
States officials laced their ex-
pressions of hope with words
Of caution.
They stressed that many is
sues-both major and minor
will have to be solved, particu-
larly the United States and
Soviet differences over inspec-
tions to guard against test
cheating.
In Moscow, Soviet Foreign
Minister Andrei Gromyko
dashed a little cold water on
optimism. He told correspond
entS that the Soviet Union can
agree to only three on-site in
spections a year. The United
States contends this is not
enough. He also insisted that
France must join in any test
ban agreement.

afternoon when four Ameri-
cans, four Russians and two
Britons are scheduled to sit
down at q conference table in
the State department.
Representing the Unite d.
States will be William C. Fos-
ter, director of the United
States Arms Control and Dis
armament Agency; Charles c.
Steele, deputy United States
representative at the 18-nation
Geneva disarmament talks,
and two officials not yet identi-
fled.
The Soviet delegation will be
headed by Nikolas T. Fedo-
renko. Soviet Ambassador to
the United Nations, and Sem
yon K. Tsarapkin, chief Soviet
representative at the Geneva
conference.
Britain's chief representative
will be Sir David Ormsby Gore,
Ambassador to Washington,
who was England's chief dele
gate to the disarmament con-
ference before his appointment
to this country.
There is no way of knowing
how long the conference will
last, officials here said.
