Hunt Continues
For Radioactive
Capsule in Tex.
ODESSA—The hunt is still on
for the radioactive capsule which
disappeared from a truck be-
tween Huntsville and Sterling
City last week.
The capsule, encased in a pad-
locked lead container, was being
transported from Lousiana to
Odessa where it was to be used
as a tracing device by Pipeline
Maintenance Company.
There have been reports of
a search by foot along the route
for the missing capsule, but it
was pointed out that because
the radioactive substance is en-
closed in a lead container it is
not likely to attract a geiger
counter.
The Atomic Fenergy Commis-
sion has been called in on the
case.
Nikita Khrushchev, who used
to be a sheperd boy in the Uk-
rine—has arrived in the heart
of Iowa’s farmland to see how
tho tall corn grows. The Soviet
Premier was in high good humor
as his motorcade reached one
of the farms run by Roswell
Garst. He remarked: “This is
going to be a jovial day.”
As he tramped through a
field of sorghum with his host,
the weariness so evident in
Khrushchev’s demeanor last
night and earlier today dropped
off him like a cloak. The com-
munist leader looked eager and
interested as he quizzed Garst
■about his methods of feeding
hogs and chickens. American
ways of raising corn and pro-
ducing animal fodder are close
to Khrushchev’s heart.
As he watched the harvesting
machines. Khrushchev asked a
wide range of questions about
the crop and the equipment us-
ed for harvesting.
Garst and his wife—who are
hosts to Khrushchev at the main
Garst farm in Coon Rapids—are
old acquaintances of the Russian
chief. They met him in the So-
viet Union several years ago
when Khrushchev was beginning
to express a keen interest in
American corn-growing techni-
ques. En route to the Garst
home. Khrushchev also viewed
a prize corn field which Garst
described as ‘The Mile of
Maize.” The grain in that field
had been so carefully cultivat-
ed that the area has the look of
a garden. The square-mile field
contains only a special hybrid
com and Garst been especial-
ly anxious for the world Commu-
nist leader to get a look at the
crop. The only fences for the
field are its own boundaries.
