Uncowed by Bobby Kennedy’s headline-milking calf work, Senator George Aiken (R., Vt.) steered the Senate’s attention to the 1,200-mile trot made in 90 days by two Vermont cows. Lest Bobby beef that these udder marchers only averaged 14 miles per day, the Senator revealed that they proved their physical fitness by producing 40 pounds of milk daily along the whey from Vermont to St. Louis.
The UN Special Fund (Mr. Paul Hoffman, chairman) , which has just allocated $3 million to one of Castro’s agricultural projects, particularly interests Rep. Durward Hall (R., Mo.). He notes that the United States pays 40 per cent of the Fund’s bills, while the whole Communist bloc pays 2.6 per cent. And the Communists’ exiguous grants are largely made in non-convertible currencies, forcing the Fund to spend them behind the Iron Curtain. The Conscience of the World is too generous to requite Communist parsimony: Communist countries are regular recipients of the Fund’s aid, and it has even located its sole nuclear project in Yugoslavia.
