UNITED NATIONS~ (CP) Arthur J. Goldberg, U:S. am- bassador to the United Nations, said Wednesday use of atomic weapons by the United States in Viet Nam: was inconceivable | and had not been considered.

He made the remark at a press conference marking the end of the 1965 General As- sembly session. He called the

Goldberg «said “although the fighting unhappily continues in Viet Nam, we will not lessen

our efforts to move the ccn'‘liet, from the battlefield to the con-~ ference table for uncondi‘ional vwegtiations.”’

Asked what the role of the UN should be in bringing about: a settlement in Viet Nam. he urged continued efforts of UN o!cers and , individual mem- bers “through the medium of quiet diplomacy.”

He said the United States is willing to negotiate the condi- tions laid down by Hanoi. for settlement of. the conflict.

Potatoes

In Income

CAPITAL -BUREAU OF THE GUAR OTTAWA — Sharp increases in potato prices in the third quarter of this year gave Prince Edward Island and New Bruns- wick the largest percentage in- crease in farm cash receipts of any province, the Dominion Bur- eau of statistics reported Wed- | nesday,

tatoes rose from $34.7 million | for the first nine months of 196’ to $64.1 million for the same pe-

|riod of this year. All of this aie |is attributed to a substantial in-

j jcrease in prices which arose out

lof a short crop in the United {States in 1964 and the resultant istrong demand in that country for Canadian potatoes.

|. For the first nine months of this year the P.E.I. total of all farm receipts rose to $30,299,00 compared to $22,696,000 in the same period of 1964 and $16,- ' 563,000 in 1963.
