UNITED~ NATIONS (AP) - The United States offered the Soviet Union a 14-pound piece of blackened steel Friday pre- sumed by American scientists to have come down as part of Sputnik IV after more than two years in outer space. The So- viet Union rejected it.

U.S . delegate Francis T. P. Plimpton showed the fragment to the UN committee on the peaceful uses of outer space and said it had fallen on a street in Manltowoc. Wis... early Sept 5

He said it was tangible evi- dnece of a need for aninter- national agreement on paying for injury or damage from ob- jects launched‘ into space. The

Plimpton invited the Soviet Union to name experts to ex- amine the fragment. ‘He also said he would be glad to turn it over to Soviet delegate Platon D. Morozov "now or at an time of his g."

Instead of accepting the ob- iect. Moroxov said ‘he did not know “whether it belongs to the U.S. or the‘ Soviet Union." lie

Mr. Ramsay urges growers to check their fields and kill down the‘ tops if late blight is present, if the tubers have reached a state of maturity where such a move is practical. -

Ir. Ramsay adds that "ex- treme caution should be exercis- ed if an arsenlcal top killer is used as this chemical is poison- ous to live stock and humans."

INSPECTION DATA

. Ramsay also gave details on final field inspections which show that 17,769 acres of Sebago potatoes passed inspection this year-—8,170 Foundation and 9.- 769 Certified — from the 22,562 acres entered. This compares

,with the 22,049 passed a year lago out of 24,490 entered.

Kennebec had the second lar- gest acreage this year with 2,- 207 acres passed out of 2.806 entered. Irish Cobblers. which were the second largest in ac- reage last year, had 1,492 ac- res passed out of 1.873 entered. Last year there were 2,259 ac- res passed out of 2,579 entered.

A total of 23,320 acres passed inspection this year out of 29.- 597 entered. This compares with

27.945 acres last year out of 31,- of

626 entered.

It means. Mr. Ramsay point- ed out, that 88.36 percent passed inspection last year as compar- ed to only 78.79 this year.

There were 444 acres of Ka- tahdins passed this year, 407 of Green Mountains. 208 of Red Pontiacs, 315 of Cherokee, 141 of Hunter and eleven other varie- ties ranging from a top of acres for Keswick to a low of only one-quarter acre for Wase-
