BRAZIL NUTS-A JUNGLE NUT

It does not grou in a cultivated form of groves of trees, but; in the |uild tropical
 iur1gles of the Amazon region in South limerick The trees obtain height of 100 to 100 feet and there you find the giant pods that hold -2 to g nuts, and arranged inside like the section of an orange. The hard walled pod weighs an average of } pounds. 4 person
 tlkes his life in his hands to walk under t!1e trees, during the season when the pods are falling. The hard pods falling from
 lG0 feet can be a deadly missile. Then the falling season ends, the harvester must still 7-atch out for late falling nuts and venom ous jungle snakes. The pods are gathered from the ground and in safe spots are crack a open by means of large knife. Nuts then removed to tall baskets, transferred to nearest river by donkey, and shipped by boat to processing mill. 1t the mills nuts are sorted on racks of heavy mesh wire dirt and spoiled nuts are removed. The
 rotten ones are sent to a factory and turn cd into cheap soap. Good nuts are shipped from the mill fresh with the shell on, dried both in and out of the shell. The drying
 process is steam. m..heated with temper t~ture of 50 c,-555 c5~ade or l22ofahrenheit;
 From 2+ to 60 hours to reduce the N~ight 20 per cent. They are then packed and sent to many parts Of the world. One must have skill to crack the nuts and keep them in one iece To make this easier for the women !7orkers, the nuts soaked in water at least 6~. hours, then steamed l minute in pressure cooker. The workers use a small hand press !.ith skill they are only paid for the
 Un0roken ones. Two of these nuts are equivi- lant to one egg for nouri ishment and a double handful to twenty eggso Souveni CTS, have been made from the pods to delight the tourists. Their growth is too sloU for commercial use in cultivated farms, their independability for producing nuts late sometimes and other times, not plentiful.

AUTOMATION IMPACT -
Deeply disturbed over the
effect Of automation on the
future job security of Govern
ment workers, a House Civil
Service subcommittee has sum-
moned Civil Service Commits
sion officials to testify before
1t Monday on the situation.
The group headed by Rep
resentative Olsen, Democrat Of
Montana, wants to know what
plans are being made to assure
continued Federal employment
to Government workers whose
jobs will be abolished during
the next few years as a result
of increased use Of automatic
data processing equipment.
Mr.. Olsen feels that "the
worse is yet to come" regarding
displacement Of Federal en-
ployes by automatic devices and
equipment. He said all evidence
indicates that large numbers"
Of Government workers will be
hit.
The subcommittee decided to
recall csc officials to testify

vious hearing last October

seriousness Of the problem and

Other Government agencies
are complaining that the Ma
tional Aeronautics and Space
Administration is Turing away
some Of their best scientists
and engineers.
The agencies contend that
NASA-the Governments new
est glamor agency as far as
Congress and the public is con-
cerned-is using higher SAL
aries and promises Of promo
tons to entice the employees.
As a result, some Federal
agencies contend that their
own vital programs are being
hurt. Some of the defense
agencies, for example. are UNI
happy about the situation.
They assert that their pro-
grams are at last as vital to
the national security as
NASA's.
The Defense Department is
not the only Government es-
tablishment un Apply about
NASA recruitment Of their en-
gineers and scientists. Other
Government research and SCI
entific agencies are equally UNI
happy. There is a definite pos
sibility that President Kennedy
will be asked to order a halt
on NASA's recruitment Of other
Government engineers and SCI
entists.
NASA denies the raiding
charges. The agency does ac-
knowledge that Of the 1900
scientists and engineers 1t hired
during the last is months,
about one-third Of these came
from other Government agen-
ciese.
However. NASA officials say
that about go per cent Of the
engineers and scientists secured
from other Federal agencies
were not given higher salaries,
The other 40 per cent did get
higher pay grades on joining
NASA.
NASA officials acknowledge
that many scientists and en-
Rineers switched over TO their
agency in the hope Of even
tually getting higher pay. This
is only reasonable, say NASA

Legislation designed to I'M
tangle the snarled legal status
Of the Districts court system
was signed into law yesterday
by President Kennedy.
The measure wldens the
courts jurisdiction in civil
cases and changes its name
from Municipal Court to the
Court of General Sessions.
A similar bill was approved
by the last Congress. Because
Of a clerical error, however, the
President signed the wrong bill,
Under the measure signed
last year, the court was au-
thorized to subpoena witnesses
within a radius Of 100 of the
District. This bill had been
passed by Congress, but was
recalled by the Senate. Then,
the House and Senate agreed
to an amendment lowering the
subpoeana distance to Is miles.
The bill signed yesterday re-
enacts the final version ap-
proved by the last Congress
In addition to the 25-mile SUBJ

change, the legislation in
creases the courts jurisdic-
ton in civil cases from $4,000

crop. Rice is now the third
largest export Of the colony
after bauxite and sugar.
The final Kennedy rejection
of aid concludes off-again on
again discussions with Jagan
begun during his visit here in
September October, 1861. At
that time he presented a shop
ping lis" of development prof.
ects totalling $500 million. The
most he got was a committee
of United States experts who
visited Guiana in May, 1862, to
survey the possibilities of chan
nelling aid toward properly
planned projects.
But Premier Jagan always
chose to interpret this COM
mittee as a commitment to
give aid. His April letter was
only one of a series Of re-
quests for the United States to
make good its promises. Now
political developments inside
Guiana have determined Pres
ident Kennedy to end the dis
cussions, once and for all.
The British Problem
The British say that 1t is far
easier for the United States
to wash It's hands of q COM
mitment it never had than for
the British to work out a DEM
ocratic solution in the divided
colony. They suspended the
constitution once before - in
1858 = to stop the Commu-
nists from taking power under
Mr.. Jagap's auspices.
In the meantime, the British
say there is no intention to
grant British Guiana immedi-
ate independence. It is not a
question Of withholding that
independence, they say, but a
question Of politicians in Gui-
ana being able to agree on it.
In no case has the British
government ever given q col
ony independence without all
leading local political parties
being agreed.
The immediate British con-
Germ is how to hold the colony
together. The Jagan govern
ment already has drawn on
most of $45 million dollars
which the British government
earmarked in grants and loans
for the 1960-64 development
plan. Government tax revenues
are not sufficient to meet cur
rent expenditures. Since Feb
ruary, 1862, when part of
Georgetown was burned down
in anti-government rioting, the
British government is esti-
mated to have spent an addi-
tional So million on maintain
ing security troops.
The immediate answer prob
ably will be British subsidiza-
ton of the Guiana budget. But
financial controls over expen-
ditures could well go with those
subsidies.
The British agree with the
United States Government
that an independent Commu-
mist Guiana would be intoler-
able. 1t would have the psy-

Police Return to Battle Stations
To Guard Greek Royalty in London

LONDON. July 10 (AP).-
Five thousand British police
returned to battle stations today
to protect King Paul and Queen
Frederika Of Greece after a
night Of fighting between police
and demonstrators.
One Of the demonstrators, the
British wife Of an imprisoned
Greek Communist, made a bold
attempt to intercept the royal
couple as they proceeded to
lunch at the Guildhall. But the
police carried her off struggling
violently.

and ran into the road as the

Immediately and hustled her

Police kept her from approach

day as the Greek visitors drove

Buckingham Palace.
A few minutes after the
barge had pulled away from
the pier, the police released
Mrs. Ambatielos.
She was apparently alone and
there were no other incidents
among the hundreds Of people
who assembled to see the royal
visitors depart from Westmin-
ster Pier.
Theater Presents Problem
The main risk Of further
clashes was expected tonight,
when the visitors were to at
tend q performance of "a Mid
summer Nights Dream" at the
Aldwych Theater.
Police predicted 1t would be
tough to keep demonstrators

busy West End intersection,
