Y., May — (Ui’l Both East and West are managing to turn out guns as well as butter and there are no signsf th«(t industrial areas cannot continue to have it both ways, the United Nations reported today. . q. N. economics experts attributed industry’s ability to keep supply/ homes, cars and other consumer Items, to the failure of the Ko-rea-inspired rearmament boom to pic3c up steam at predicted rates. "their implication was that the consumer has been spared by the. fa<£ that the limited Korean. War remained limited. The economists revealed total world production reached an all-time high last year. They prepdlqted'that, if war production doesn’t-: suddenly accelerate, industry in J 952 will continue to defy; the "gpns instead of butter" aflagp. These revelations on the global economic picture were contained in /the U. N,’s annual world Pcouoniic report—a 250-page book that will be discussed at the ineethng of the U. N. economic and suefiat council opening here May 13. i the report noted that both,past jand West shared in thfe prdducjtiqn rise in war and peace fcommodities. But it should be noted tliat in the case of totalitarian niitwitis, the U. N. international civil servants were compelled to accept ion faith figures supplied by the > governments themselves, t The generally - heartening tone ;df the report on built-up industrial contrasted sharply with dtsof the still - worsening, flight of the worlds backway ftareas the areas at which ‘'point development programs are directed. ; '■ The U. N. economists pdln4eA out that the gap between developed and under-developed areas has continued to widen rather than narrow. They urged — as they urged in their report last year — that sweeping action be taken to insure an adequate flow of capital goods to backward regions to build up their industrial plant. A second parallel problem highlighted by the report was the sfilb deteriorating world food situation. World food supplies, they said, to increase far less rip- ■ idly than world population. "For the world as a Whole/' the U. N. report disclosed, "the consumption of food per capita is less now than it w'as 15 years ago. "Moreover, inequalities in food consumption are now greater than before the war.”

Everything turned blue.” He also said he saw fireballs 'falling to the earth. J. M.
