Good Nutrition
Called Africa
Biggest Need

The biggest problem West
Africa faces is its lack Of good
nutrition, Dr.. Warren Harrison
believes. He's out to do some
thing about it.
You're ont going to get very
far passing out pills and cut
ting people up If they're not
properly nourished," the young
Washington doctor said in an
interview. Even measles is a

Of both Hadley and District

experience.

You could even touch the

Fish Flour, Peanut Butter
After a short while In Africa,
beginning in 1860, DR.. Harrison
decided to set up a health
food" company to combat these
diseases. He and his colleagues
made and sold nutritious foods
fish flour, whole wheat bread
and peanut butter-to the ma
tives at q competitive price.
BY the time we left, almost
all the stores there were mar

natives noticed the difference.
They noticed that they could
eat three slices of our bread
and work all morning. They
couldn't before"
DR.. Harrison's interest In
Africa sprang from his high
school days in California. He
plans to return soon. parcticing
general medicine and fostering
the drive for better food.
He wants to encourage young
Africans to come here to
learn trades so they can re-
turn home with something
to do as practical as his
program.

The whole thing, born of

The Supplement is issued

not taken place.
Every effort is made to as
certain the home addresses

AS February 10 has always
been the deadline date in the
past for the Supplement, the
Social List" staff found their
task particularly difficult
this year because Congress
convened a week later than
usual. A personal call has
been made to each and every
official listed, to verify just
who Is living where. And
the staff has met its dead
line.
Some Of the new official
arrivals are still house hunt
ing. and there are others who
are marking time until their
wives are able to straighten
out their youngsters school,
ing. The result is that some
Of the new officials are forced
to have a temporary abode.
However. in the Supplement,
more than IS per cent of
these newcomers are listed
with complete information.
To show how "up-to-date"
the little Green Book" is, 1t
includes two new appoint
ments which were only made
last week. Franklin Delano
Roosevelt, jr., is designate for
the post Of Undersecretary Of
Commerce and Richard H.
Holton is designate for the
position Of Assistant Secre-
tary Of Commerce for Eco

France grows out Of this d.
lemma. AS a practical matter,
France could only agree to
forego further tests If the
United States-or for that
matter Russia-were willing to
make the necessary informa-
ton available.
Significant perhaps, there Is
nothing in the new treaty to
prevent such q transfer Of nu-
clear secrets between sigma
tories. Mr.. Kennedy's classifi-
cation Of France as a nuclear
power might be a move toward
an exchange of information on
the same basis as now applies
to the British. At this stage,
American officials are un-
usually non-committal on this
very touchy point.
There Is a good deal less
optimism when it comes to
the effectiveness Of the new
treaty in restraining the Com
munist Chinese. The pact has
already been violently de-
nounced in Peking Is q SELL

inclined to take the threat
quite seriously.
The issue of nuclear testing,
however, has already automat-
ically become q new element
of contention within the Com
munist camp. The Russians,
quite plainly, are hopeful of
signing UP the maximum num-
Der Of countries within the
Communist camp. And each
one which signs will In effect
be joining the coalition against
Red China.
Since most Communist coun-
tries in Europe-and most
Communist parties in Asia and
Africa--are violently opposed
to the use Of nuclear weapons,
the issue Is not an unimpor-
tant one in the struggle for
influence between the Com
munist giants.
Whether this In itself will
serve to put the brakes on
China's nuclear ambitions is
a moot point among experts
here. There Is nevertheless q
discernible hope that in China,
as in France. the new treaty
win raise the political price OF
nuclear testing very high in

Red Admiral

MOSCOW, July ~ (AP) -
Soviet Admiral Of the Fleet
Ivan Isakov accused the West
today of threatening the So
Wet Union.
The admiral was speaking in
an interview with the official
news agency Tass in connec-
ton with Navy Day, to be OBJ
served tomorrow.
"Only the threat on the part
Of the aggressive forces Of the
West obliges us to keep the
armed forces at q high level
of preparedness" the admiral
said.
Our navy, in coordination
with the other services, will be
able to deal q quick and shat
tering blow at any aggressor. :"
Admiral Isakov said the So
Wet navy, because it has nu-
clear engines. rockets and cleo
tronic devices, has ended what
he called "the undivided rule
Of the traditional maritime
powers in the worlds oceans
The admiral repeated the
Kremlin's claim that the
Soviet navy Is built around
nuclear submarines equipped
with powerful nuclear- tipped
rockets"

The transportation agency

up II the bus companies had
only IA stops, instead Of $40,

practice because passengers

said.

make 1t easier for buses To

of the commission.
It is uncomfortable" that a
billion dollar rail transit system
would be proposed "as long as
there exists an even remote
possibility" that q "drastically
more economical all-bus sys-
TEN" can handle transit loads,
the transit commission said.
The National Capital Trans
portation Agency did not make
a full study of all-bus systems,
and its study sis wholly made
quate to rule out such q sys-
tenn" the commission added.
The report also repeats the
by now familiar complaint that
the transportation agency did
not consult the transit COM
mission in making Its major
rail studies.
The 1860 legislation creating
the transportation agency ord
cred that it shall cooperate
with" the transit commission
and wherever feasible and de-
sirable, shall develop joint
plans" with the transit COM
mission, the report states.

they were impractical. A down.

there are serious reasons to
be concerned" about the pro.
posed nuclear test-ban treaty.
~ feel that prompt ratifica-
ton or prompt rejection by the
Senate would be a grave mis-
take" DR.. Teller said. II hope
that the matter will receive
the most careful consideration
from every angle before def
mite action is taken"
DR.. Teller was one Of the
foremost scientists in develop
ing the United States thermo-
nuclear weapons system. He
added:
"One can think of a ban
which, I believe, would be
thoroughly acceptable. We
could agree to limit the re-
lease of radioactivity into the
atmosphere to a level equal to
the amount that each year
decays by natural causes.
This would permit the Rus
slams and the United States
each TO put into the atmosphere
a 1000 kiloton equivalent OF
fission products each year and
still leave something over for
other nations.
"Such an agreement Of limi-
tation would eliminate any
further increase of radioactive
ity. 1t would be subject TO easy
verification and would permit
US to proceed with all opera
tons essential for our military
security and for peaceful devel-
opments.
