...first leader of Pakistan to make a determined effort to improve relations with India. The problem of the canal waters of the Indus basin is nearing settlement (TIME, June 1). After twelve years of border conflict in Kashmir, an Indian and a Pakistani commission last week concluded talks that may put this problem to rest. Half a year ago, Nehru and most Indians still spoke contemptuously of the "naked military dictatorship" in Pakistan.

Suspicion is that the radiation may completely destroy natural vitamins (biotin, riboflavin. etc.), since the test animals show classic symptoms of severe vitamin deficiency. But the tests were haphazard and incomplete, so no one is sure that this is really the reason or how irradiated foods can be made assuredly safe. Director Morse has concluded that the whole program had better be restudied...
