I 10 A - Market Reacts To Combination Of Good Tidings New York-WPMVall Street ers found no more surprises than expected in President Kennedy's Monday night ad dress on the economy, but they blended it with other tid ings and gave the market a .little bounce. . Comment in the 48 hours after the speech to the nation from the White House was reserved but cheerful, gener ally. None had really expect 'ed an immediate tax cut; this had been discounted in ad vance. But analysts were happy to note that in the next full .trading day following the ad dress, the Dow Jones closing industrial average popped through the 600 level for the first time since June 8. Hold Unpredicted With the caution engender ed by a few bad bruises and a slow recovery in the past two months, none ascribed this break-through to one aspect, and almost none would speculate whether stock price , levels would hold at this ' height for any length of time. But the Federal Reserve Board announcement that in dustrial production made a new high in July came along the day after the speech and there were other Washington developments, including com mittee approval of a big pub lic works bill, all of which helped.

W ATKINS (Register and Tribune Syndicate 1962) Locuili Planned This Year's Trip Back in '46 They've been "out of sight, out of mind" for several years, but their inner calendars were adjusted back in 1945 to the year 1962: Brood II, that is, of the 17-year locust, or cor rectly, the cicada. They came this year, right on time. From the earth, where they have lived in gritty darkness, they emerge. In some sections of the United States they will be very evi dent. By summer's end they will be gone again, but their purpose will have been served. The female cicada will i.ave cut a tiny slit in the bark of a tree, either fruit or forest type, and will have deposited her eggs. She will use a rasp like organ on the posterior end of her body to make the incision, and the same organ will be used to insert the eggs. Then, her work completed in her brief period in the upper air, she will die of exhaustion and fulfillment. May Break Some tree limbs she has wounded will be so weakened, they may break. But whether they do or not, the tree will have suffered. After a few weeks, those eggs will hatch into tiny larva which crawl out of the tree-nursery and fall to the ground. They will know exactly what to do: they will burrow into the earth for their nearly 17 years of underground development. In the earth they will feed on the tender roots of plants for nearly 16 years and 10 months. For them the time of emergence is already set; the insect timeclock is adjusted. Some warm May day, in the year 1979, 17 years from now, the larvae, now ready for adulthood, will emerge from the earth. Altogether, their numbers APPOINTED PRESIDENT New York - IUP1I - The For eign Policy Association Wed nesday announced the ap pointment of Samuel P. Hayes as president.

RULES FOR LONG LIFE Stonington, Conn. - IUPD -Moses Wilcox, a retired sea man who celebrated his 104th birthday Wednesday, attrib uted his longevity to: "Hard work, good food, a good woman and a good cigar." may be in the millions. They will crawl part way up a tree trunk or a plant stem. They will grip the support firmly; then their skins will split along their backs. Out from the now useless husks will emerge the adult cicadas, ready to fly, willing to eat the tenderest foliage, and later to lay the eggs for the next hatching 16 years, 10' 2 months hence. Man's Enemy Traditionally, this is one of man's enemies. Grasshoppers, as well as cicadas, have plagued mankind since Bibli cal times. The so - called "plagues of locusts" actually were grasshoppers, but the re sults to crops and the trees was the same. But mankind has some willing helpers friends fighting for him. The emergence of the cicada hordes is the signal for terns, sea gulls, gracklcs, English sparrows and numeroue other species of birds to feed on the emerging insects. In fact, the birds have saved many crops at many times. Even before the emergence of the larvae from their years underground, some of man's unappreciated helpers are dig ging out and eating the larva the skunk and the shrews.

By the time next hatching of the .cicadas appears, most of the four-legged benefactors probably will be gone. But the insect will emerge-in May, on a warm night, in the year' 1979.
