Our Agriculture And The Com
mon Market have received a
letter from Christian Herter, Presi-
dent Eisenhower's Secretary of
State. and President Kennedy's
Special Representative for Trade
Negotiations, assuring me that his
office will enter into agriculture
negotiations that are in the inter-
ests of U. S. agriculture, and none
others. Several of my colleagues
and | had expressed concern over
protectionist tendencies manifested
by the European Common Market,
particularly with reference to ag-

on agricultural products until its
own internal policy with regard
to these products has been re-
solved" Mr.. Herter informed me
that he was hopeful that this could
be done within a very few months
| His letter went on to say:
eve have made it very clear that
any negotiations undertaken must
! include agricultural trade as well
as industrial products. and that no
agreement can be concluded un-
less agricultural trade is included
in comprehensive manner. This
is a matter of simple justice to our
farmers. 1t also involves a vital ma
tional interest Our agricultural ex-
ports in the Common Market in
1862 amounted to 100000 COM
pared with S2OOOOO,OOO in imports;
they accounted for almost all our
trade surplus with the Common
Market, out of which our defense
commitments there are financed in
large part"
Our Allies Aiding Castro: Obiec-
ltions-President Kennedy has been

allies to halt trade with Cuba,
which has the effect of strengthen
ing the Communist regime Their
statement said: 1--WE are shocked
to find that as much as so percent
of the goods that sustain Cuba are
carried in vessels of free nations
| The group said that United States
ports should be closed to ships per-
sisting in Cuban trade"
In the meantime, Castro has
called for Cuban-style revolutions
throughout Latin America What
has happened in Cuba could hap
pen exactly in the same way in
many Latin-American countries"
Castro told a mass rally in Havana
last week.
A Satellite That Stands Still'-
The United States has launched the
worlds first hanging" satellite,
designed to hover over one area
continuously. It was launched from
Cape Canaveral last week At 22,-
300 miles from the earth, an ear
resting" rocket settled it into an
orbit synchronized with the earth's
rotation, thus keeping it over one
area. The satellite, named Syncom
ii, will be used as television re-

A 3-stage Delta rocket propelled
the satellite into space. 1t was the
10Th straight successful perform

Flying Saucer?-A large crater
mysteriously appeared in a barley
field near Shaftesbury, England,
recently Strange markings sur
rounded it. An astrophysicist, DR..
Robert Randall, formerly connected
with rocket station in Australia,
was soon on hand to explain that
the markings must have been made
by a large aerofoil flying wing
on tripod feet and that the crater
was caused by its blast-off after
landing. The aerofoil would be 500
feet in diameter, he said, and the
tripods 80 feet high Army mine
disposal experts moved in A
soldier digging in the field said,
