track a probe as far as Mars with radio transmitting and receiving gear now or soon to be available. How close they could come to Mars with existing rocket and guidance equipment is another matter. A miss of many thousands of miles appears unavoidable. Still, a shot in the general direction of the red planet, when it reaches a favorable position for

such an attempt on Oct. 1, 1960, would provide a good test of longdistance communications over planetary routes. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) would not comment on suggestions that a Mars shot may be on the agenda for next year. The agency had hoped to launch a probe toward a nearer neighbor, Venus, when that bright planet was in a favorable position last month. But technical difficulties prevented, and Venus won’t be a suitable target again until Jan. 13, 1961. Meanwhile, NASA is going ahead with plans to test the feasibility of using solar power to run radio transmitters and instruments aboard probes designed to venture millions of miles into space. Farm Assets In U.S. Hit All-Time High WASHINGTON (UPI) The value of all farm assets in the United States rose 9 per cent last vear to an all-time high of $203,100,000,000, the Federal Reserve System reported today. Total farm debt also reached ai record $23,300,000,000, up $3,000,900,000, or 14.8 per cent, from Jan. 1 1958. The assets minus the total debt left the equity of farm operators and other owners of farm property at a record $179800,000,000, up $13,600,000,000, or 8.3 per cent, from a year earlier. About half of the total increase of nearly 17 billion dollars in farm assets values resulted from the rising value of farm real estate. The Federal Reserve pointed out that although rising land values have greatly increased the net worth of farmers and other owners of farm land, they have not improved the situation of farmers with respect to income. | Farm assets include the financial assets, automobiles, and household furnishings and equipment owned by farmers as well as all the assets used directly in i farm production, such as farm | land and buildings, livestock, tractors, motor trucks, farm, machinery, and inventories of crops. < All other types of farm assets as well as real estate values increased during 1958. Among them, livestock on farms showed the greatest increase in value —about four billion dollars. An exceptionally large increase occurred in non-real estate farm debt. The sharp increase in Commodity Credit Corp, loans to farmers resulted mainly from the greater quantities of cotton, wheat, soybeans, and grain sorghum that were under price support loan. The Federal Reserve noted that BALHTIMORE TRADES WINOOSKI PARK, Vt. (UPD— The New York football Giants today acquired veteran quarterback George Shaw from the champion Baltimore Colts in exchange for a high 1959 draft choice and the Giants' No. 1 draft choice for 1960. Shaw was the Colts’ bonus selection in the 1955 college draft but lost his starting job to Johnny Unitas two years ago and has been Baltimore’s No. 2 man ever since. The 26-year-old former NCAA passing king stirred up a hornet’s nest this spring when he notified the Colts that he wanted to be traded unless he could play more. No amount of persuasion by Baltimore coach Weeb Ewbank could change Shaw’s mind, and he threatened to quit the game unless he was dealt to another NFL club.

Flash Floods Hit Michigan Cities United Press International Showers Wednesday gave little or no relief from the warm and humid weather persisting over much of the country this week. The Weather Bureau said warm and moist air originating in the Gulf of Mexico covered nearly all the area east of the Rockies this morning. More thundershowers were forecast today but they promised only temporary relief, forecasters warned. Three Michigan cities, meanwhile. mopped up from storms which turned streets into rivers and gave 3,000 autoworkers a holiday. Five inches of rain fell on Coldwater, Mich., Wednesday and a state of emergency was declared when two of the three wells supplying the city with water were put out of commission for a time.
