rather than scientific or humani
tarian.
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.

ter General Arthur Summerfield
recently g<>t the bad news on the
aorghum situation m the Cullo-
den, W. 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.

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.

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-
