As much as 300 million tons of topsoil a day may be blown away by a single dust storm such as those that swept across the southwestern states regions in the 1930'. The large investment neces sary to get a modern farm going is responsible for the fact that only one agricultural college graduate out of six goes back to the farm.

Bermuda actuiy consists of more than 100 islands with a total land area of 22 square miles. New York -Sen. John F.j Kennedy of Massachusetts de clared today that he favors strict separation of church and states, is strongly opposed to the federal government's extending support to any church or its schools and is against appointing an ambas sador to the Vatican. Kennedy, a Catholic who is considered a leading candi date for the Democratic presi dential nomination in 1960, said "there can be no' ques tion" of federal funds being used for support of parochial or private schools because "it 1 .

It has been announced that Secretary Dulles has suffered a recur rence of the cancer for which he was operated on in 1956. Neuberger Backs Oath Provisions Washington - Sen. Richard L. Neuberger has announced his support of legislation in troduced by .Sen. John F. Ken nedy to repeal the loyalty oath provisions of the Nation al scholarship act. In announcing his intention to vote for the Kennedy bill, Neuberger said that he agreed with the opposition to the loyalty-oath section recently expressed by the President and faculty of Reed college. "The state of Oregon has a special stake in opposing this negative oath in the scholar ship bill," Neuberger contin ued, "because Oregon was one of the few states in the Far West not to succumb to the hysteria early in the 1950s, which resulted in special loy alty oaths beine foisted on ed ucators in nearly every "other Western state. In fact, such an oath nearly destroyed the morale of many great educa tional institutions in the state of California." Neuberger said it seemed unfair to single out students for a special loyalty affidavit under the Federal scholarship act when, for example, some S4.8 billion could be paid to farmers under the price-sup port bill and no such loyalty oath at all was required un der these circumstances. Neuberger also said he sup ported Senator Kennedy's contention that card-carrying Communists . would have no hesitation in. falsely signing the affidavit in the bill, whereas those punished would be loyal Americans with scruples of conscience about such procedures. Deer Antlers Show Physical Condition Wausau, Wis. - (Science Service) - Antler development of buck deer denotes physical condition rather than age, says D. L.'Corbin, Wisconsin Con servation Department game manager here. Deer reaching extremely old age finally just grow spikes. More trophy antlers are found on younger deer in some areas than in others because of better, food conditions. Having served as weapons during the mating season, the antlers are then dropped, and new ones grown the next summer. Corbin said few dropped antlers are found because rabbits, squir rels, mice ana porcupines gnaw them for their mineral content. Governments Said Shying Away From Cigarette Claims London, (Science Service) -Because of revenue brought by tobacco taxes, gov ernments all over the world are shying away from trying to link cigarette smoking with lung cancer, a British doctor charges. Dr. Robert McCurdy, med ical officer of health to a number of districts in the county of Norfolk, Eng., points out that tobacco tax last year brought England over $20,000,000,000 - more than the total cost of the whole of Britain's national health servicethe 'cradle to the grave" welfare state. 19 Investigations By mid-1957, Dr. McCurdy points out, there had tr.en 19 separate large-scale investig ations in seven countries. All came to the conclusion that smoking caused lung cancer, he said. Yet what was said after a toast to "The Queen, God b 1 e-s s her?" It was, "Gentlemen, you may smoke." Dr. McCurdy points out that if a man took prussic acid and dropped dead, it could be a coincidence. Simi larly, if thousands of heavy smokers died of lung cancer, it would be "coincidental" at least, many people would prefer to think so. "At the present rate of in crease," says Dr. McCurdy, "lung cancer will claim over 60,000 lives a year before the end of the century. Only two epidemic diseases, plague in 1348 and 1665, and in fluenza in 1918 (when the world's population was much smaller than it is today), have been known to cause more deaths in one year, and then only for a brief period, not year after year." 'Smokers Code' Asked Dr. McCurdy wants gov ernments to issue a "Smok ers' Code." He lists four sug gestions, or "minimum de mands," to be included in it. They are: 1. Issue a "Smok ers' Code" handbook, with humorous illustrations to show the perils of lung canc er. 2. Prohibit smoking in all public transport and places of entertainment. 3. Ban all advertising of tobacco products until they have been passed as safe by qualified medical researchers. 4. Stop the cheap issue of such "a dangerous drug" to young servicemen. Dr. McCurdy himself is a non-smoker. "I tried it when I was about 18," he says, "but found no pleasure in it." Pre-Inventory Sale! EDDS TOMORROW PRICES SLASHED . . . Throughout The STORE!!

Each on Own Merits In an article appearing in the new issue of Look Maga zine, the 41-year-old senator stated that fringe matters such as buses, lunches and other services are primarily social and economic issues, not religious, and that each case must be judged on its merits.' Asked his views on Ameri can diplomatic relations with the Vatican, Kennedy de clared: "I am flatly opposed to the appointment of an ambassa dor to the Vatican. Whatever , advantages it might have in Rome-and I'm not convinced of these-they would be more than offset by the divisive ef fect at home." Kennedy insisted that Ca tholicism would not clash with presidential duties, pointing out that "whatever one's religion in his private life may be, for the officehold er, nothing takes precedence over, his oath to uphold the Constitution and all its parts . . . including the strict sepa ration of church and state." Complete Statement - He indicated in the Look article that he would make a complete statement of his views on the religious issue if he is a candidate next year. Also quoted in the article was Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, who denied that she opposes Kennedy's candidacy because he is a Catholic. ""If I approved of a candi date," she said, "I would have no qualms about him because of his religion. I do not have qualms, and I do not think a Catholic would be a handicap on the ticket."
