"Crip, a three-year-old brown Swiss cow, stands patiently Howard Martin of Union, Ja., makes an adjustment to her wooden leg she's worn for two years. The leg was amputated at the hock after an infection re- sulted from fall. Because he wanted to save the calf she was carrying at the time and because she represented one of the best blood lines in his herd, Martin fashioned the artificial leg. Although not quite as active as other cows In the herd, Martin says "Crip's" habits haven't clianged much because of the handicap.--AP Pleture.

Lake Success, Apr. 19.—HAH the members of the United Na tlons have now expressed their views on the futuro of tho Italian colonies, but the result of the General Assembly's no- tion still remains in doubt,
Meanwhile, considerable in- terest has been aroused lo United Nations circles by ลา Indian proposal. While sup- porting the general Soviet 'and Arab ne that
former colonics should be placed un- der United Nations trusteeship, India would like the Big Powers to be left out of any adininis- tration,

But it is considered in somo circles to have the virtue of not making the administration of the colonies a stamping ground for Big Power disagree- inents,
Some observers also see in 11 the advantage that I would not give the Soviet Union foot- hold in the administration of the North African territories.
From the 29 declarations made so far the following pat- lern has emerged:
Seventeen nations have ex- pressed themselves in favour of giving Britain trusteeship over
