Mikhail Suslov, one of the So viet communist party's top theo reticians, calls again for immedi ate adoption of Premier Kroosh's plan for "universal disarmament to abolish every possibility of waging wars."

From Baltimore: The city's proposed new civic center will have seats designed to fit the growing size of the Ameri can posterior. Architect A. ,C. Odell explains: "The new seats will be 20 inches wide, whereas 18 inches used to be big enough. We find in these days that many people have difficulty in getting in and out of anything smaller than 20 inches.' Why are people's fannys getting 1 bigger? Here's a guess: We're using 'em to SIT ON more than our busier ancestors did. From Washington: President Kennedy, moving about in the unpredictable way that has become almost routine since his inauguration, popped into the White House press room this morning for a surprise vis it. He was accompanied by his wife Jacqueline, looking like a fashionable teen-ager as she strolled through the While House lobby, wearing beige riding pants and a three-quarter length sports coat. White House guards, the obser vant reporters relate, stared GOGGLE-EYED. Mamie didn't wear that kind.' Nor did Bess Truman. Well ...

A wheeled platform resembling the ramps by which one mounts into the big jet planes of today simplified Eliz abeth's boarding of the four-seat howdah on the biggest and best elephant in the Maharaja's Stables.

Silver Lining Seen In 1961 Agriculture By Bank Executive - By RUTH KING Paul F, Matson, president of the Federal Intermediate Credit Bank of Spokane, Saturday saw a silver lining for agriculture's 1961 outlook but warned that credit cannot be substituted for income if farmers are to weather the era of narrow profits. Matson spoke to the largest gathering of stockholders and guests to be present for an annual meeting of the Klamath Produc tion Credit Association. More than 500 persons from Lake, Siskiyou, Modoc and Klamath counties were present in the Klamath Auditori um for the 27th annual report session and smorgasbord. An increased demand for food and fiber, coupled with an increas ing population, constitutes a bright spot in the outlook for agricul ture, the credit official said. But he cited economic factors that indicated little more than a token improvement can be anti cipated in the price-cost squeeze except for the continuing heavy demand for agricultural products resulting from increasing consum er income and purchasing power. He told the group that the net farm income in 1961 is expected to continue at about the same lev el as in 1960 unless adversities strike during the growing season. Some increased marketings, he said, could offset price declines in crop and livestock products in an over-abundant supply. The Spokane banker anticipated that crop prices will continue fair ly stable in 1961, that the rate of increase in cattle and hog market ing toward the end of the year will probably establish the year's price, but offered little prospect of market and price improvement tor lamb and wool producers, Because of concern over the in ternational situation and the new administration, business has adopt ed a wait and see policy. Mat- son said. About the same rate of Air Crash Kills Nine HONOLULU (UPI) A Naw radar plane with 22 men aboard veered off the runway on Midway Island Sunday and smashed into a ground crew truck, touching off a fire which consumed the plane. Nine men, including three of the crewmen on the fire truck, were killed or missing, the Navy said. Sixteen of the men aboard the plane escaped unhurt or with minor injuries. ' A preliminary investiga tion showed that the 70-ton four- engine Constellation apparently landed short of the runway and sheared off a landing gear, which struck two engines on the left wing. The wing was sheared off as it hit the runway, causing the plane to veer to the left. One thousand feet down the runway, it smashed into the fire truck which was in a routine position for an aircraft landing. The Navy said the huge radar plane flipped onto its back and burst into flames. The plane was returning from an 11-hour flight along the Pa cific air defense barrier between Midway and the Aleutian Islands. Frolic Minded Porpoise Frust rating Scientists CHINA LAKE, Calif.

" i Tugboat Creiv Strike Ended By NEW YORK UPI-A two-week harbor tugboat crew strike that shut down the entire New York Central Railroad and cut rail service for 100,000 commuters ended today with a settlement reached under pressure from the new Kennedy administration. Both sides agreed to put off a showdown on the key dispute over whether the employers had the right to reduce the size of the tug boat crews. The issue will be de layed until a White House report on railroad workers, already in the works, is made and applied to their particular problem. The problem probably would not reach a head for at least another four months. Union members must first rati fy the agreement before it be - comes effective. The accord was reached at a marathon. 14-hour session guid ed by Labor Secretary Arthur J. Goldberg who intervened Sunday at the request of a concerned President Kennedy.

Eisenhower looked forward to warmer weather than the sub- freezing temperatures he encoun tered last weekend at his snow- covered Gettysburg farm. The ex-president was scheduled lo board a private plane in mid- morning (11 a.m. EST) at the York, Pa., airport for the three hour flight to Albany, Ga.
