> I Mr. Thrasher He is a dandy, a show-off and a superb perfo:nner. His ~mrnon name is Brown Thrasher, but he is also known as foX< thrush, .ground thrush, French mockingbird and half a dozen other flat- tering names. He is not a thruah at all,. but a member of the .same family as the mockingbird and the cat- bird, the Mimidae, or the Mimics. He is one of the most engaging singers we have. - :Longer than a robin and slimmer, he wears a rich cinnamon,brown coat and a pail buff weskit with streaks the color of his back. His beak is'· long and somewhat curved. IDs eye is bright: He loves to sing fl-om the very top of a tall tree, and he s.ings early and late and often in between. It really isn't correct to speak of the thrasher's song, for he has a big repertoire of phrases that he puts to- gether in a hundred ways. Aretas Saunders, the bird- sang man, once recoroed . fifty different phrases from one pird, in addition to half a dozen. imitations of other birds. Mr. Thrasher is both a composer and an_ impro- visor of great range and skill. And he has a splendid voice, second only to the best of the thrushes. · Some say he is repetitious, because he usually sings the same phrase twice as . he goes .along. Some even say he stammers. But this is patently a canard. That is his trademark, his own way with a song. He knows what he is doing, and he does it superbly well. He lives to sing, glories in it. He makes any spring day somewhat brighter for everyone within hearing. -New York Times Last·Rites For SST HE .........

The President said the agreement, reached in negotia- tions \involving the highest levels of both governments,\ represented \a major step in breaking the . stalemate on the nuclear arms talks.\ The White House felt that this step could perhaps lead to an agreement this year to curb deployment by both the Rus- sians and the United States of antiballistic · rnissYe systems <ABO) and limit some offen- sive weapons systems. Announcement of the agree- ment was made simultaneoUSly' by Nixon ·· in a nationally broadcast statement from the White House and by the Soviet government in Moscow. After making the formal an- nouncement, Nixon said: _ \If we succeed, this joint statement that is being issued today maY: be .remembered as the beginning of a new era in which all nations may devote School Negotiations at Stage of Deadlcxk . . more of their lm•ei:(![ies not tc) war but to the of peace!'
