Blood Spots In Eggs

Blood spots that are occasion
ally found in eggs are caused by
the rupture of a blood vessel In
the hen, says VIM. H. Henderson,
Sussex County Agent. There are
a lot of theories aboL: the cause
Of this condition, but poultrymen
at the University Of Delaware
have scientific advice.
A low supply of yitamin A q a
laying ration may cause an in
crease in blood spots. This can
usually be corrected by an ade-
quate supply Of vitamin A. Sim
ilarly, high energy rations may
lead to more spots. A ration
containing Is to 10 percent pro-
TEN will usually gre more blood
spots than a IA I4rcent ration.
Henderson reports that Gagged
birds are more likely to lay
spotted eggs than those raised on
litter. The theory that freight
produces spotted eggs have been
disproved many times in tests.
An adequate diet and the selec-
ton Of strains of birds that
aren't redtsposed to spotting can
go long way toward eliminating
this problem, Henderson says.

Test Ban:
New Moves

President Kennedy and Prime
Minister Macmillan sent q new
note to Premier Khrushchev on
Friday in an effort TO end the
deadlock In the nucIear test ban
talks.
Though the prospects for a
nuclear test ban agreement with
the Soviet Union appear as poor
today as at any time during the
nearly six years of intermittent
negotiations, the Anglo-American
effort to get one continues.
Neither the citizens OF the
United States nor Of the United
Kingdom nave been informed Of
the contents of the latest letter
by their leaders addressed to So
Wet Premier Khrushchev.
But the Kennedy Macmillan
letter presumably was in reply to
Mr.. Khrushchev's note Of last
month, in which, 1t has been re-
ported, the Soviet leader held to
his position that three on-Site in
spections q year under any test
ban treaty should be the
maximum number, although he
does not believe any at all are
necessary. The West has called
for a minimum Of seven.
What sign Of hope the allied
chiefs Of state can find in the
circumstance must indeed be a
small one. The main purpose OF
their letter. therefore, could be
simply to keep the negotiations
alive, perhaps by asking for

The move, obviously aimed at

voter registration is miniscule,

Amendment requiring such cut

estimate, the device could cost IL

Memphis officials had not denied
that Indignation Of parks was
moving slowly. Instead, they tried
to justify the pace by stressing
the wisdom and need Of proceed
ing gradually. But the Supreme
Court replied that guarantees of
the Constitution "are to be
promptly fulfilled"
. In Birmingham, two Federal
judges seemed to be countering

But the Judge left q loophole:

Pope John XIII, 81, was at

ing from what is believed 70 be
cancer.
When Angelo Cardinal Roncall
was elected on October 20, 1858
to succeed the deceased Plus XII,
one of the great pontiffs of mod
ern times, the speculation was
heavy that the College Of
Cardinals had chosen = on the
18th ballot-an interim, or care
taker, Pope.
II that were truly the view of
the majority of electors, the new
pontiff, who, took the name
John XIII, did not share 1t.
He quickly made it plain that
despite his nearly n years he
would be no standpatter, that he
had ideas of his own he meant
to see carried out.
Within three months OF his
coronation he called an Ecumeni-
cal Council, only the 21st in the
nearly 2,000-year history of the
Roman Catholic Church. Its main
purposes: To renew the churchs
spirit by bringing 1t into closer

Of the responsibility for any such

There was no clear explanation
why demonstrations have spread
so suddenly across the Nation.
Their speed and success even took
some Negro leaders by surprise.
Among reasons offered Is that

Emancipation Proclamation, and
also that moderate Negro leaders.

An Innovotor

He showed himself to be the

in many parts Of the world;

million members, and without.
He won this good feeling, for
himself and for his church. by
his words, deeds and attitudes.
OF peasant stock (the aloof.
scholarly Plus XII was a patri-
cian), Pope John is an extraor-
dinarily warm person and one
with considerable wit.
He thrust out his hand In
friendship to Protestants. Jews,
members Of the Eastern Orthodox

Easing Tensions

Aside from the easing Of ten

acceptable treaty to outlaw nu-

way to East-West agreements on
other outstanding issues which d.

But both Mr.. Kennedy and Mr..
Macmillan probably have other
reasons for their willingness to
walk once again the last. long
mile" in their effort to obtain a
test ban.
Mr.. Macmillan, who Is facing a
general election within the next

people who are perhaps the most
"anti-bomb" of any In the West

In q nutshell. Mr.. Macmillan's
position and that Of his party
would be enhanced If some sort
of definite progress were made in

As for Mr.. Kennedy, he would
like nothing better than to achieve
what escaped the Eisenhower
Dulles grasp. He has said that
the biggest disappointment Of his
first year in office was the failure
to obtain a test-ban treaty-anc
he had the Bay of Pigs fiascc
