ALL-OUT ACTIVITY BARRED
Mrs. Kennedy, Son Score Progress
CADET SLOUCH
By The Associated Press WASHINGTON—Mrs. John F.
Kennedy and her infant son scored further progress Monday but her doctor barred all-out social activity for the future White House mistress for the next six months.
Asked whether the go-slow sig-
Basic Info Big Need In Research
The big need now in plant disease research is basic information to understand completely the physiological action of chemicals and their fate in soils and on crops, Dr. Wayne C. Hall, Dean of the A&M College Graduate School, said here.
Hall, a speaker at the second annual Plant Disease Short Course, said sensitive analytical methods need development to determine accurately pesticide residues and their effect on plants as food and feed.
Until such information is available, he said, established1 recommendations must be followed religiously to avoid undesirable and toxic residues in plant commodities and the possible outlawing of essential agricultural chemicals through public hysteria created by misinformation.
The dean, who also is a plant physiologist, cited the cranberry incident of a year ago. A large portion of the 1959 crop was condemned because of the residue of what the government believed to be harmful residues of a pesticide chemical.
“Imagine the effect on our cotton industry, for example, if the same thing happened to it
nal would keep the presidentelect’s wife from the Inaugural Ball next Jan. 20, Dr. John W. Walsh said: “We haven’t gotten to that yet.”
Walsh stressed that the future first lady is making perfectly satisfactory progress. But he said she just can’t be expected to bear the full load of White House social demands during the normal six-month recovery period for mothers whose babies are delivered by Caesarean section.
Meanwhile, John Fitzgerald Kennedy Jr. made further gains and Tuesday may be taken off the special oxygen diet that is normal for premature, Caesarean babies. In a day or two, he probably will leave the incubator where he has been since last Friday when he arrived about a month ahead of schedule.
If . he gets on well enough, he may be ready to accompany his mother when she goes to Palm Beach, Fla., in about 10 days for a recuperation vacation.
While the newest Kennedy baby was making good headway, his big sister, Caroline, prepared to celebrate her third birthday, two. days late, with a party for playmates at her Georgetown home Tuesday.
Jacqueline Kennedy had prepared for the occasion with several “simple presents” which still remain for Caroline to open.
At the mother’s request, no pictures are to be made and no details of Caroline’s party will be divulged.

Brazos Association Gives Gifts, Cash to Hospitals
Editor,The Battalion:
This year you have every reason to be very proud of yourselves. You built a Bonfire under such adverse conditions that I’m sure any similar undertaking would have been abandoned at any other college.
However, there were men working, if you could call it that,
'around the Bonfire that should have been banned from the area. They seemed to look upon it as an occasion for horseplay and careless activity. Some of the upperclassmen were as guilty of this as the underclassmen they were supposed to be leading. On the first day of major Bonfire activity, there were sixty accidents recorded, most of which were direct results of carelessness and all of which could have been avoided if the men had taken time to just think a little before they acted.
Next year most of you will be leading other men in the task of building the Bonfire. For the sake of those men and for your own sake, take the time to find out what you are supposed to do and how you are going to do it before you enter the cutting area or the stacking area. Try to make next year’s Bonfire the safest as well as the largest in the history of our school.
Also, I believe the student body of A&M should take time out to thank two men who were constantly at their posts, directing activity. These two men, work ing almost around the clock, gave more that what they considered to be a fair share, of their time to the Bonfire—they put their hearts into this year’s Bonfire.
The two men—Homero Canales and Richard Alvarado.

By J. M. ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst
The President’s Commission on National Goals has produced a compendium of the things the United States has been trying to do, with an admonition that she must try harder.
By and large, the report represents an endorsement of ideas which have been under discussion for a long time, and on most of which starts have already been made.
Increased national defense, reduced unemployment, desegregation, federal aid for education, foreign aid with a touch of emphasis on the military side, more emphasis on science—all of these have already become matters of increased national cognizance.
All involve heavy spending which the commission points out will probably produce increased taxes, even with expected increases in the national product as a base for government income.
There is a call on the people for national heroism in meeting the problems, similar to the one made by President-elect John F. Kennedy during the campaign.
Indeed, there are few if any fields covered by the report which were not discussed by the candidates or covered in the party platforms, and the American people are familiar with all of them.

As a call for mobilization of the American people, beginning with the individual family, against the background of their traditional moral attitudes, the report is remindful of passages in several Eisenhower speeches.
The document makes small attempt to set up ways and means by which the goals may be attained. Additional statements by individual members of the commission show clearly that the re
sult of two years of effort is a compromise.
Perhaps the report does leave us floundering just as much as ever over how to accomplish all the good things which should be accomplished.
But as a finely expressed summary of national aspirations, of national character and motivations, and of responsibility in the world, it is an historic document, for other peoples as well as for Americans.

"THE INTELLIGENCE QUOTIENT OF NED FUTTY”
Chloe McFeeters was a beautiful coed who majored in psychology and worked in the I.Q. testing department of the University. She worked there because she loved and admired intelligence above all things. “Hove and admire intelligence above all things” is the way she put it.
Ned Futty, on the other hand, was a man who could take intelligence or leave it alone. What he loved and admired above all things was girls. “What I love and admire above all things is girls” is the way he put it. •
One day Ned saw Chloe on campus aH was instantly smitten. “Excuse me, miss,” he said, tugging at his forelock. “Will you marry me?”
She looked at his duck-tail haircut, his black-rimmed glasses, his two-day beard, his grimy T-shirt, his tattered jeans, his decomposing tennis shoes. “You are not unattractive,” she admitted, “but for me beauty is not enough. Intelligence is what I’m looking for. Come to the I.Q. testing department with me.”
'fllyoumryM?*“Of course, my tiger,” cried Ned and giggled and smote his
thigh and bit Chloe’s nape and scampered goatlike after her to the I.Q. testing department.
“First, I will test your vocabulary,” said Chloe.“Be my guest,” laughed Ned and licked her palm.“What does juxtaposition mean?”“Beats me,” he confessed cheerfully and nibbled her knuckles- “Flow about ineffable1!”“Never heard of it,” guffawed Ned, plunging his face into
her clavicle.“Furtive?”“With fur on?” said Ned doubtfully.“Oh, Ned Futty,” said Chloe, “you are dumb. Consequently
I cannot be your girl because I love and admire intelligence above all things.” '
He flung himself on the floor and clasped her ankles. “But I love you,” he cried in anguish. “Do not send me from you or you will make the world a sunless place, full of dim and fearful shapes.”
“Go,” she said coldly.Lorn and mute, he made his painful way to the door. There
he stopped and lit a cigarette. Then he opened the door and started away to his gray and grisly future.
“Stay!” called Chloe.He turned.“Was that,” she asked, “a Marlboro you just lit?”“Yes,” he said.“Then come to me and be my love,” cried Chloe joyously.
“You are not dumb. You are smart! Anybody is smart to smoke Marlboro, the filter cigarette with the unfiltered taste which comes to you in soft pack or flip-top box at prices all can afford at tobacco counters, drugstores, groceries, restaurants and trampoline courts all over America. Ned, lover, give me a Marlboro and marry me.”
And they smoked happily ever after.© 1960 Max Shulman
And if your taste runs to unfiltered cigarettes, you're smart to try Philip Morris—from the makers of Marlboro. We especially recommend Philip Morris’s neyv king-size Commander—long, mild, and leisurely. Have a Commander—
