For several years the S<*vi«t t won ha* sought to play on the worldwide fear of fall-out from the tests and on the political fears of the smaller nonatomir nations. It has tried to couple nuclear testing with it* constant allega tions that it is the Western pow ers which are making prepara tions for war, preparations which it must meet in self defense. The Soviet Union set the -tage for a a* w act in this farce last March 31 by announcing that for one, it would sU*p polluting the atmosphere. This led the Allies, against the batter judgment of their military experts and some of their best scientists, to start preparations looking tow'ard a permanent ban. The political pressure had be come too great. An international meeting of scientists at Geneva offeied a program under which a no-test- mg agreement could be checked against violation*. A political meeting to put the program into effect was arranged to begin next Friday in Geneva. Britain and the United States began rushing tests on roaearch which was already under way. The Soviet Union, under cir- cunixtances suggesting that the number of tests mean something to it politically, resumed testing on the groudds that it had to match the West.

Va., Post Office. It's a mess. The problem was biought up by Dr. E. E. I Kidding, 97. a local aorghum lover, who wrote Sum- merfietd to protest what had hap pened to a can of the stuff he had mailed to a friend. But first, a bit of background. The dictionary descubed x«»r- ghum as ‘sirup from the juice of an) sotg<>. or saccharine sorghum. It resembles cane sirup, but con tain* conHiderable invert sugar, with some starch, dextrin, etc." Which is something like say ing poker I* a name played with cards, or that Brigitte Bardot ia a Frenchwoman.** For sorghum is a rich, hearty concoction, especially delightful on rombread. Anyone brought up in hill coun try— poor soil often makes the best sorghum—has fond memor ies of a hnise going round and round, turning the mill squeezed the juice. Or wonderful smells that came from sorghum being boiled down. Evidently times hsve changed. that / th# Dtidding got to talking with a friend. S. I. WcGinni*. learned that the fine art of sorghum making had almwM died out around ( ulinden and. locating a cache of sorghum near here, de rided to mail him some. The Utter from Mi-Ginnis tell* the lamentable story: “The can pf sorghum arrived thi* morning at the p<>.*t office. The Contents was all gone The lid had come off and the sorghum was all over the mail. The mail carrier said he would make out a report. “Paul Soward, postmaster, was out of town todav. They had a time this morniag. licking sor ghum off ih« mail, ha, ha " Well, Dudding hustled the bad news off to Summerfield, thoughtfully including his own diagnosis of the problem. He figures that the railroads have rut out local stop*, that the mail is tossed from trains doing 60 miles an hour, and that thi* is no way to ticat aorghum. Well, Ihidding Is a hard man to lick. He has just mailed an other can of *orghum to McGin nis. It would cut down on the correspondence, and keep a much tidier mail sack, if the engineer would just slow down when he gets to Cullqden. By JACK TEAGUE Gary N. Herrington, senior Ed ucation major from Baytown, is probably more on the ball than any other Aggie Baseball, natch. A* catcher for the fight in’ Texas Aggie baseball team, Gary made All Southwest Conference both his sophomore and junior years, and eats, drinks and sleep* baseball. Gary was born in Palestine, Tex., 21 year* ago. Ho moved to Baytown at 7, where his dad is now employed by United Rubber and Chemical Co. A graduate of Robert K I-ee High School in Baytown, Gaiy played guard and lettered in foot ball, and said he was a defensive specialist. He was catcher in base ball and lettered thre*-.years. In his senior year, the team was ranked third in the state, and Gary was elected to the All State team. And it was hts baseball stardom in high school that net ted him a scholarship to AAM. A member of A Athletics for thiee years, Gary is commanding officer of the Hart Hall outfit this year Although Gary pla'ys exception ally good ball, he says that he makes his "flubs” just like any one else. He well remembers the Rice-Aggie game his aophontote year when the score was tied (Ml. What would have been a, double to center by tha opposition turned into a triple when Gary neglected to covar third The runner scored on a long fly and Rice won 1-0. (■ary says this “really put me in the red face department.” This past summer Gary played xemipro ball for the Alpine Cow boys. They travelled to Kansas, A i zona and Oklahoma, winning their share of the games. The season ended in Wichita, Kansas, when the Cowboys played a team from Oregon for the national championship. Although they didn’t fare t»*o well in the finals, they still wera ranked second in the National Semipro League. Gary remembers an embarrass ing moment in Alpine this past summer when k giil called him up and he thought it was a girl from Alpine. It turned out to be a sweet young thing from Bay- town, but Gary, failing to recog nize her voice, called her the "sweetheart from Alpine.’’ Upon graduation, Gary wants to play professional baseball— preferably with the Yankees. Af ter this he plans to put his ml- w • Afgt*« Ilk* to rood I hut, I Wo* As (ir* W'lwn * wn on* arrtv** call VI « «»I0 *nS Mk for Ui* W>* Asfl* K4> tor A future Aggie sweetheart was bom to Mr. and Mrs. Ira H Oert- ling Jr. ’58.
