HARRIMAN ON VIETNAM
The retired diplomat said he believes an agreement could be
reached with Hanoi.
He called North Vietnam "fiercely nationalistic. They realize, as
Tito did, that they have to have relations with the West. They're fas–
cinated, for instance, with miracle rice."

NEW YORK POLICE RECRUITS AVERAGE 98.20
IN I.Q. TESTS, :80WEST IN YEARS
The average I.Q. scores of recruits entering the Police Department
here in 1969 were the lowest recorded in recent years, according to a
study financed by the Justice Department.
The average score of the 2,075 men brought into the department
in four classes last year was 98.20, with one class of 358 men averaging
93.19.
Some police departments, such as the one in Los Angeles, say they
will not take men with I.Q.'s under 110, according to Dr. Nelson
A.
Watson, director of the professional standards division of the Interna–
tional Association of Chiefs of Police.
"I personally think this is a bit high," Dr. Watson said. "But when
you start getting men sooring less than 90-and with an average of 93
you begin to wonder."
