You'll enjoy reading them, starting tomorrow in The as well It remains to be seen how consumer deprivation or even famine will affect the world of the Kremlin. The spectacle oi a great ana nowerful nation struggling to feed its millions of people is surely not edifying tor those emerging countries that would emulate its revolutionary sys tem. The shining eminence ot Moscow grows dim in the tasteless quality of adulterated bread and even in the groveling on international markets for wheat born of capitalistic opulence.

Macmillan Bids Politics Farewell LONDON (AP)-Harold Macmillan, who served his country Li war and peace, announced on his 70th birthday today he is saying farewell to politics. "After 40 years in the House of Commons," the former prime minister said in a letter, "I really cannot undertake the full duties of a conscientious member." His letter, addressed to Conservative party officials at his subconstituency of Bromley was formal word that he would not stand for Parliament again at the elections this year. Continued from Page 1 industry and the country's econ omy." In other words since Russia still is primarily an agricultural country, farm production is the key to economic health. The very frankness of Soviet admissions of failure are significant; they do not occur in other fields like missiles and machinery. In this instance, Kommunist said that bad weather, inadequate fertilizer, and insufficient machinery cannot be blamed entirely for agricultural deficiencies.

Rather, it said, the first im mediate task is "the improvement of the system of payments for labor in the collective and state farms and increasing the material incentives of farm workers have been neglected in comparison with industrial work ers. There has been corruption and incompetence, as Khrushchev admits, but the basic point, at least for Western observers of the Soviet plight, is that the farm producers are stubborn, reluctant, and willful in their perversity. Aside from the fact that the present situation is a grim indict ment of the Communist situation and a situation that pre vails in the satellite countries, to help recover bodies of three students drowned in Strawberry Lake Comforts Parents Continued from Page 1 there were no signs on the lake warning of thin or melting ice. "We found over the years it would be virtually impossible to maintain signs at the lake," Grace said. Other forest areas used intensively for skiing and skating are posted with warning signs in danger areas.

Grace explained the man-made lake is part1 of the Pacific Gas and Electric Co. utility system, and that the water level is raised and lowered according to the company's hydraulic needs. "As the level goes down, as it is now, the ice has a tendency to weaken and buckle," Grace explained. Between 10 and 15 were on the ice when it buckled about 150 yards' from shore. A heroic rescue by three boys and two -men saved the lives of at least 10 of the students.

"The others apparently slid under the shelf of ice around the hole," Highway Patrolman Max Robertson said. Even if they could swim the shock of the cold water probably stunned them." McClymonds Principal Ben jamin Hargrave said he has taken statements' from the six teachers on the trip as chapefones, and from other stu dents who were on the ice it broke. He said a complete report on the tragedy would be forwarded today to Supt. of Schools Stuart S. Phillips.

Three btherseniorsrTiorace Coleman, Frank Bailey and Glen Berry, all 17, risked their own lives to help pull their classmates from the water. Coleman fell through the ice himself and had to be rescued by others. A- Gene White, 32, of 24813 Pear Hayward, and his brother- in-law, Randy Boggs, 29, of 484 Meadowlark Livermore, crept out on' the ice with a tobaggan and helped six to safety. The bodies were recovered by skindivers working from a small boat which was used to break a path through the ice to the hole. Nearly 1,000 worried parents and fellow students were on hand to meet the returning buses filled with survivors Saturday night.

House Votes to Cut Rights Debate WASHINGTON Iff) The House voted today to cut off debate on the civil rights bill in an effort to bring it to final vote this afternoon.

U.S. Denies Deal on New Canal Pact WASHINGTON W) A high Latin-American source says the United States committed itself in 1962 to renegotiating the Pan ama Canal treaty. The State De partment says no such agree ment was made. "There is not and never has been a secret governmental agreement between the United States and Panama concerning treaty relationships," a State Department spokesman said in a prepared statement Sunday night.

Earlier, the Latin-American source said Panamanian oni- cials told the Inter-American Peace Committee last month that a memorandum signed in 1962 committed the United States to renegotiate the 1903 treafvTunder-which it runsthe canal. Efforts by the committee to set up U.S.-Panama negotiations after rioting Jan. 9 on the Canal Zone border collapsed over U.S. refusal to agree in advance to Panamanian demands that the talks include renegotiation of the treaty. A committee of the Organiza tion of American States is now looking into Panamanian charg es that the United States was an aggressor.

The committee is now seeking a basis for new U.S.-Panama talks.

The Senate had amended the bill to establish a 14 per cent rate for this year, instead of the 15 per cent voted by the House and House conferees agreed at today's initial conference to go along with this.

"They did so at the request of Secretary of the Treasury Doug las Dillon, who told them that. if this issue were settled, his de partment would proceed at once to send the new withholding tables to employers. low Vorvicf tvmingt ctMacArthur TE 46700 Pirkiif Aril fr Mje(rtkir lint Small boat was used Richmond Skin; Trio EDMUND BALLY Youth quizzed FRANK GOMEZ Held in slaying Californians to Study in Nepal KATMANDU, Nepal UP) The Nepal government today announced it was granting permission to a West German Alpine club to climb two virgin peaks in East Nepal this spring and to a California institute team to conduct a botanical survey in the high altitudes of West Nepal during the autumn.

Sad I at at to of Dallas Called Qualified to Try Jack Ruby DALLAS Tex. (AP) The first defense witness testified today he knew of no reason why Jack Ruby could not get a fair trial in Dallas on charges of murdering President John F. Kennedy's accused assassin. The Rev. Frederick Carney, a professor at Southern Methodist University's Perkins School of Theology, gave that answer in cross-examination in a hearing on a defense motion to move Ruby's trial to another city.

The Rev. Mr. Carney questioned, however, whether he was qualified to testify as to the chances of a fair trial here. Earlier, defense counsel led him through a discussion of a per he had written, "A crisis of Conscience in Dallas." In it, he said, he referred to Dallas as a otrtured city in an agonizing crisis of conscience because President Kennedy was assassinated and the accused assas sin killed here. Later, he said, he thought the city developed a defensive mood.

The Rev. Mr. Carney was called to testify after Dist Judge Joe B. Brown overruled a defense motion that Ruby trial be moved without going into any evidence. Chief defense attorney Melvin Belli made the motion after Judge Brown ruled against him on two other counts: 1.

A motion that would have required the state to turn over to the defense all its evidence against Ruby. 2. An attempt by Belli to read aloud newspaper stories about the killing of Lee Harvey Os wald by Ruby.

Sims, a repairman 23 Seventh and his companion, Larry Ault, 19, said they had stopped at a nearby store, when they heard the shots. Sims ran to the stricken Ross just as he apparently died. "He turned his head, like he was trying to say something.

It never came out." Vargas used Ross' car radio call for help, touching off one Richmond's most intensive dragnets. Inspector parrell Davis and Sgt. David Rodden, the department's two homicide investigators, worked 26 unbroken hours in an effort to hunt down the killers.
