Gromyko left in a Soviet plane from New York, re-portedly en route to East Berlin. He issued a statement at the airport which touched only generally and vaguely on world Issues.

MB. KENNEDY warned in his speech that any atomic attack against any nation in the Western Hemisphere would bring full retaliation against the Soviet Union.

According to U.S. authorities, the Soviets have sent nuclear missiles to no other country. The United States has refrained from giving atomic warheads to other nations, and this mutual restraint by the two major nuclear powers had been regarded in Washington as one of the main curbs on the "a upon nu- -clear missile is fired on any 'nation in this hemisphere.

He put it this way: know that 11 Republi cans In both the Senate and the House will support this action to tlie hilt This is the only kind of persuasion that Fidel Castro and Nikita Khrushchev understand and I believe that at last the administration is beginning to recognize the realities of the situation in Cuba.

SOME QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT ARTHRITIS AND RHEUMATISM: Qt It tber a proven core for arthritis and rheumatism? Ai No. But physician often can control the pain, the condition, or the crippling effects of even tome advanced form. What can I take to control my At That depend -on the icverity of your condition. Physiciani have prescribed steroids, gold salts, heat treatments, for more advanced for minor conditions, simple analgesics such as aspirin.

Which works best? At Again, it depends on your condition. Only your physician can tell you that. My condition is diagnosed as minor arthritis." Aspirin helps, but is there anything I can take for temporary relief that Is more effective? At There is a special tablet called DEFENCIN. It is a new and different analgesic for more effective pain relief. hat makes DEFENCE more effective? At defence contains three highly effective medicines They work together to produce a level of pain relief unsurpassed by ordinary i pain tablets.

Two of DEFENCINS special ingredients have never before appeared in conventional pain tablets or pills. This unique combination of ingredients seems to make patients less aware of their pain. Your doctor would call it "raising the threshold of pain. You mean defence does a different job against pain than aspirin or ordinary pain tablets? A) Yes. Other pain tablets are all designed essentially to blunt pain.

They do not act in the way DEFENCE does and do not bring DEFENCINS effective relief. evidence Is tbvrv of DEFENCES effectiveness? Clinical studies, with detailed information from both doctors and those they treated reported that DEFENCIN was more effective in the great majority of cases. In fact, DEFENCIN gave complete relief of the pain in about one-third of the cases. Qt Was DEFENCES compared to aspirin In those studies? At Yes, and there was a far greater record of pain relief among those people who took DEFENCE than those who took aspirin. (These studies included a double-blind test in which patients didn't know which medicine was which not even the doctors knew until the results were recorded.) Is DEFENCES safe? At Yes.

Clinical tests confirm its safety. Naturally, as with any medicine for arthritic-like symptoms, a physician should be consulted immediately if pain persists or is severe, or there is noticeable redness, swelling, deformity or stiffness. In no event should you rely upon self-medication for more than ten days. win DEFENCES reBevesimpl headache, too? At Yes, and DEFENCES is also effective in relieving many of the painful conditions associated with the common cold. It relieves the feverish feeling as well as aches and pains.

Is defences expensive? It certainly seems it would coet mors than usual paia tablets. At DEFENCIN costs more than ordinary pain tablets more than' aspirin, for instance. Those who want defencin's extra effectiveness consider the few cents more per tablet reasonable, defencin's price ik $1.00 for 24 tablets, $2.50 for 72 tablets. Qt Returning to those test patients who took DEFENCES under doctors supervision specific relief did tbey saj they got? At Some said pain was relieved. Many said they could reach, lift, bend, walk and move with greater freedom.

In some cases, all painful symptoms were relieved. -a1 Where can I buy defences? At At drug counters in every state.
