Four confirmed and 18 suspected cases ; were reported elsewhere in i ' Scotland at Glasgow, Edinburgh, Ayr and Argyll. England • had three suspected cases in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne and one ." in East London. No deaths have been reported. • Dr. lan Mac Queen, Aberl deen’s chief medical officer, ■ said a second wave of cases was fading and the size of a I third wave in the next few days 1 would show whether the epidemic was increasing or diminishing. s’ He said it was possible—but unlikely—that the third whve > “at its worst may be many . times bigger than we have had yet.” “The next few days are absolutely critical,” Mac Queen said. ■ “We might get waves against which the present one looks like nothing.” The government announced in London that orders were sent to health officers throughout Britain telling them to remove certain six-pound cans of corned beef for sale “pending further investigations.” The beef was canned by two factories in South America between January, 1963, and March of this year. ■ The cans Were cooled in unchlorinated water during processing. Aberdeen health officials said the epidemic had been traced to a can of beef shioped from South America in 1951 and re- . cently released from govern- ■- ment storage because of a nA6at 7 shortage.

(UPD— Representatives of the striking Teamsters Union and the International Steel Co. met today to resume negotiations for a new contract at the firm’s plant which was * closed Tuesday by picket line violence. About 40 persons were injured Tuesday when 60 non-strikers tried to battle their way through Teamster picket lines into the plant. Shortly after police stopped the fighting. Jack DeForrest, personnel manager of the plant, closed the factory and said, “We can't work under these conditions.” Today’s resumption of contract negotiations came at the insistence of Mayor Frank McDonald who summoned company and union officials to City Hall Tuesday night and warned them the city “will not tolerate” any further violence. He pleaded with both sides to resume negotiations on a contract. The union agreed immediately but it took McDonald more than an hour to persuade company officials to agree to the new negotiations with federal mediators sitting in. In answer to McDonald’s demand for guarantees there wuld be no more violence, the union agreed to have only two “token” pickets at the plant as long as talks continued and the plant remained closed. Company officials said the plant would remain closed today but declined to say whether there might be future attempts to resume operations. The strike began April 10 after more than three months of negotiations failed to produce a new contract. Main stumbling blocks were clauses on job security, job classification, wages and a pension plan. « 4 Workers at the plant formerly were represented by an ironworkers union which was replaced by- the Teamsters in a National Labor Relations Board election last winter. Contract negotiations began in January. Slimming! Printed Pattern Il Ju ’•* ' X \ 0 lA / Xv/at / W // j w I 111 f W. 1 : : A a ©II \ 1-* If \ ~ - ’I k \ I M ffPj \ <\ > * C* 41 An ' ■ '4 I a n a it.

Academy commencement here, Johnson predicted that" American strength would continue to grow more rapidly than the might of all other nations. He said United States’ superiority extended over the ability to deter atomic destruction, the ability to fight less than all out war, strength in the struggle against subversion, develop ment of new weapons for deterrence and defense, and the ability of the American fighting man. Attacks Nuclear Threat “Those who would answer every problem with nuclear weapons display not bravery but bravado, not wisdom but a wanton disregard for the survival of the world and the future of the race,” Johnson said. This country’s military might allows it to take more tangible steps toward peace than at any time since the cold war began, Johnson said. “And we will welcome any other proposal by any nation which promises realistic progress toward peace,” he said. “It requires patience and understanding to continue the search for peace while out adversaries so beset us. But this is what we must do. It is what, God willing, I intend to do.” Seeks Lasting Peace The President said he hoped this country, in a day not too distant, will be able to “lay aside its awsome power, and direct all its genius to the betterment of man.” Later, the President, in an address prepared for the keellaying of a new nuclear submarine at Groton, Conn., further stressed the relationship between purposeful power and peaceful purposes. “There are those who oppose freedom and security,” he said. “They seek by fear and subversion to thwart man’s hopes for peace. If they do not understand our for peace, we must be sure they do not misunderstand our means of power".” At another point, he asserted that “a nation with unbeatable military power csyr still be toppled if it does ngt preserve its power.” * includes previous

Planting Os Corn Nearly Complete LAFAYETTE, Ind. (UPD— The corn planting chore in Indiana caught up with the normal pace by the end of last week. Agricultural statistician Robert E. Straszheim of Purdue University reported that less than 10 per cent of the cdrn crop remained to be planted by the weekend. “This is the same as a year earlier and compares with an average of 30 per cent remaining to be planted by this date,” Straszheim commented. “Corn reached an average height of 3 inches which is the same as usual. Cultivation of the corn crop is progressing at about the usual rate with 10 per cent cultivated by the end of the week.” Straszheim reported that soybean planting replaced corn planting as the leading farm activity last week. “Soybean planting was extremely rapid. About 70 per cent of the crop has been planted, compared with 65 per cent last year and 45 per cent average. Soybeans averaged 2 inches in height, the same as usual.” The report said topsoil moisture increased to “mostly adequate levels” last week, improving conditions for germination of recently planted crops in most areas. However, it said soil moistufe continued *short in most east central counties, and pasture conditions, while still rated fair to mostly good, showed further decline during the week. “About 80 per cent of the wheat crop has headed, 5 per - centage poi nt s more than usual,” the report said. “About 45 per cent of the wheat crop has bloomed which compargs with 50 per cent usual.” The report also said the harvest of hay continued to increase. The first cutting of alfalfa hay was 30 per cent complete, ahead of last year and ahead of usual. Tomato plant setting was V 5 per cent complete, compared with 65 per cent normal.
