He condemned the oppression of Buddhist priests in South Viet Nam, the closing of synagogues in the Soviet Union, the Hugarian government's treatment of Joseph Cardinal Mindszenty who is in exile in the U.S. Legation in Buda pest, and a ban on Protestant missions in some countries. Recalling his address to the 3encral Assembly two years ago, Kennedy said that at that time 'the shadow of fear lay darkly across the world." But today, he said, "the clouds mve lifted a little so that new rays of hope can break through." And he termed the test-ban treaty the first speciifc step in 17 years to limit the nuclear arms race. "We meet today," said Kennedy, "in an atmosphere of rising hope, and at a moment of com- calm," He said his appearance at the United Nations was "not a sign of crisis but of confidence."

V.

Smith, agricultural economist in charge of the project, explains that this sharp drop resulted from several factors. Yields of all major crops, except oats, fell their 1961 level. Cash income from livestock and livestock produce also was substantially below the 1961 total, although the cost of purchased feed increased about $800 per farm. Since the northern Indiana area was more heavily weighted with dairy farms, price relationships of dairy products relative to grain and livestock were not as favorable in 1962 as a year earlier, Smith points out. Average net farm income of the up-state cooperators was $8,900,.

compared ot $11,121 in 1961. Average acreage, per unit (272) was the same as in 1961. The 124 farms were larger than average and operated more efficiently than average. Cash receipts per farm totaled $33,227 and. cash expenses $25,765, both highest of record.

Each represented a capital investment of about $105,000, an increase of about from the previous year. Rate earned on investment amounted to 3.8.per cent, pared to 5.9 in 1961. Rate earned represents net farm income, less operator wage and management charges and man agement charge for the landlord, divided by total capital invested. Average; labor incomes were higher on the larger farms, Smith notes. Labor incomes on business and the ability to keep expenses in line with the total value of the products produced.

Furthermore, there is good evidence that the virus--once it has infected an unprotected mother can invade the baby within her womb and cause brain damage as late as the fifth month of pregnancy, perhaps later. There is also evidence that the virus is active in producing brain damage not only before birth -out for a few months afterwards, Dr. Cooke said.
