Pigs & Digs. For Kukuruznik (corn man) Khrushchev, the big treat of the week was his trip to Iowa for an inspection of advanced farming practices, corn and beef production near Coon Rapids. His host: crag-faced, cranky Millionaire Roswell Garst, who has been to Russia twice to sell corn seed to the U.S.S.R.

The labs are the headquarters of a far-ranging, little-publicized U.S. Navy unit known as Namru-2 (for Naval Medical Research Unit No. 2). What the delegates saw of Namru-2's work was so impressive that they later passed a resolution to accept the unit's standing offer of emergency help in epidemics among Asia's civilian population.
