Crisis Threatening World Sugar Market Collapse Os Accord Would Bring Chaos UNITED NATIONS. N. Y. (INSI —A major crisis threatened the world sugar market today. Governments representing both the largest producers and importers served notice at the UN sugar conference they will walk out of the international sugar agreement unless gi.en a new deal. The agreement regulates export quotas and world prices. Collapse of the 1953 acocrd. top UN experts warned, would plunge the world market Into chaos and loose a savage "cut-throat” price and export war for disposal of the huge annual tonnage. Foremost sugar exporters attending the UN parley also strewed that with such a breakdown 11,000.000 tons of unsold sugar would flood the market on toe of the usual tonnage from this jrear’s crop. Such an occurrence, it was said, would produce a serious crisis in the Internal economy of both sugar producing and importing' countries and retard economic development of many global areas. One expert said such a situation would amount to “pure anarchy" in the market. The countries threatening to abandon the 1953 agreement, which was concluded after long and painstaking effort, were Nationalist China, the Dominican Republic and Japan.' Cuba, the world’s largest sugar producer, warned earlier it will refuse to continue taking part in the accord if further limitations are placed on Cuban exports. On top of the growing difficulties confronting the UN conference. the Soviet bloc pressed demany be invited to New York tomands that Communist East Gertake an active role in the parley. Although the East German regime was assigned an export quota under the 1953 agreement It was not invited to the talka since it is‘not a member of the UN or its specialized agencies.

Truman Clarifies Story On Salerno Reporter Apparently Mixed Up On Story NEW YORK (iNiSi —Former Praaideut Harry S. Truman said today a reporter “apparently got himself tangled up” in quoting him as , blaming “squirrel-head-ed” generalship for the bloody Salerno .landing in Italy during World War 11. Truman. In a copyrighted article distributed by King Features Syndicate, called the controversy a ‘minor incident” in his Euro-pean-tour but said “perhaps 1 had better set the record straight." “A discussion developed about the landings there,’ he said of his visit to the historic beachhead. "In the conversation that followed, some of the people who had been present at the operation were kitid enough to explain to me how the landings had taken place. “As often happens in such cases, the frontdine fellow knows more about it than the commanding general. I know that sometimes this is so because I felt the same way in the Argonne driye when some soldierO thought 35th division was in an exposed position. "I was very interested in-what was told me but unhappily one of the reporters apparently got himself tangled up and quoted me as having made those remarks about ‘totally unnecessary" landings and ‘squirrel-headed generals'." ' Truman continued: “It should have been apparent to everyone that 1 never could have called the Salerno operation ‘totally unnecessary’ becatffe 1 knew that in 1943 it was impera tlve that the Allied forces make an assault on the continent of Europe. ‘Furthermore, I have nothing but high respect for the Allied commanders Involved. . .1 was a good listener at Salerno and that was all. So much for that.” Beg Pardon The name of D. & T. Standard Service was unintentionally omitted from the Decatur Lions club "thank you" advertisement in Wednesday's edi- ■ tion of this paper.
