Freedom From Hunger Os the three historic enemies of mankind — war, pestilence and famine — which in the past have taken such heavy toll of human life and happiness, famine still remains the major threat to peace in the world. While statistics regarding the extent of undernourishment are neither complete nor fully accurate for all parts of the world, there is clear evidence that more than half of the world's population today suffers from varying degrees of hunger and malnutrition. This is a tragic and potentially dangerous situation —a situation which has been further aggravated by rapid increases in the rate of population growth in the last few decades, especially in the developing countries of Africa, Asia and Latin America. On the other hand, there is also clear evidence that the problem can be mastered if enough people in the world know about it and are willing to do something about it. It was this firm belief that prompted the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations to launch its worldwide Freedom From Hunger Campaign in 1960 designed to focus public attention on the problems of hunger and malnutrition throughout the world and to stimulate world-wide effort to help solve those problems. Since that time over 100 countries have taken up the challenge and organized national Freedom from Hunger Campaigns. These 100 countries will issue special FFH stamps during 1963 and they have endorsed over S2O million in new long range FFH action projects designed to increase agriculture production in the developing countries. Thus, for the first time in the history of mankind’s most constant and crudest of enemies — hunger —a world-wide cooperative program is under way that can erase this scourge from the face of the earth by helping people to help themselves. The contributions of the United States in this great effort have been many and varied. Our foreign aid programs and our Food for Peace Program represents direct U.S. Government participation on a huge scale supported by the American taxpayer with remarkably little complaint. But more, the American people through churches of all faiths through many private overseas relief agencies and other voluntary organizations and foundations have supported hundreds of projects — all over the world — to ease the suffering of underfed people. The United States now joins forces with the world-wide Freedom from Hunger Campaign by Presidential proclamation, March 17 and 23, will be Freedom from Hunger Week in the United States. We know that the American people will support this dedicated national effort by their government, their churches and their national institutions to ...... encourage people all over the world to renewed determination that hunger can and must be eliminated from the world.

Leaders Urge Bickering End In Minnesota ST- PAUL. Minn. (UPI)-Dem-ocrats and even a key Republican urged a stop to the bickering today and installation of Democrat Karl Rolvaag as Minnesota’s governor. Since the Nov. 6 election attorneys for GOP incumbent Elmer L. Andersen and former Lt. Gov. Rolvaag have been arguing over who won. Republican Mayor George J. Vavoulis of St. Paul urged Andersen to resign, “accept the decision of the district court and graciously move to seat Karl Rolvaag as governor." 8 I Vavoulis sent congratulations to Rolvaag. State Democratic - Farmer - Labor Chairman George Farr said a proposal for a runoff election was a Republican stalling action. A three-judge tribunal was expected to name Rolvaag formally today or Friday as winner of the long election recount battle. He would become the state’s first governor elected to a four year term. Rolvaag’s attorney was to report findings showing Rolvaag won the recount by 91 votes over Andersen, who bad won in the canvass by 142 votes. Rolvaag said he was ready to "pick up my cardboard filing cabinet" in his capitol basement office and move upstairs to the plush executive suite "at a moment’s notice.” But he can’t move until any appeal is completed. State Rep. Roy Dunn, a Republican lawmaker for half a century, kicked off a flurry of arguments Wednesday when he proposed a special runoff election be held. . "The margin is so close. . .this is the only way we can know with certainty who was elected,’’ he said. “I don’t care who wins this. I would feel the same if Andersen was ahead at this point” But he said the next step probably would be up to the supreme court. He said he anticipated Andersen would appeal. There was disagreement about whether the supreme court legally could order a special election. Several attorneys in the legislature and state government agreed there appeared to be nothing in the state constitution either authorizing or barring such an election. Republican State Chairman Robert Forsythe said the possibility of holding a special election “should certainly be explored.” William Shovell, Rolvaag’s recount coordinator, said a special election is impossible—“there is no legal base for one.”
20 Years Ago Today March 21, 1943 was Sunday and na paper was published. ■* ' ». Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee Q. Our son is to become officially engaged within a few weeks. Since the girl’s parents are not going to give an engagement party, would it be all right for us to give one? A. You cannot properly give such a party. After the engagement has been announced by the girl’s parents, you may give a party IN HONOR of the engaged couple. Q. When serving tea to dinner guests in my home, is it considered proper to serve them each a cup with its individual tea bag? A. This is not in best taste. It is much better to put the tea bags in a teapot, pour boiling water in, let the bags steep properly, and then pour the tea into the individual cups. Q. When a young man is taking a girl out to dinner, is he supposed to ask her where she would like to eat? '* J A. Not usually. It is the man’s privilege to decide beforehand where they are going. Q. When passing salt and pepper shakers at the table, does one hand them directly to toe person who asked for them, or does one put them down on the table within reach of the other person? A. Handling them direct to toe other person can sometimes prove awkward. It is better to place them on thetables as close as you can to the other person. Q. I realize that an invitation to both the wedding and reception imposes toe toe obligation of a gift. What does one do if there is no reception? A. In this case, since you have been invited to the wedding, you surely would want to give a gift of some kind. Q. What tipping is necessary on an airplane? A. No tipping of airplane personnel is permitted. When you debark, though, a sincere “thank you” to toe stewardess is a very nice gesture on your part and shows good breeding. ■ . '■ I

Test Resumption Is Major French Crisis
By JOSEPH W. GRIGG United Press International PARIS (UP!) — President Charles de Gaulle’s go-it-alone ambitions to make France a nuclear power have landed him once again in deep trouble. They are the main cause of the long-standing coldness in relations between France and the United States. Now the resumption of French nuclear testing in the Sahara threatens a major crisis between France and newly-independent Algeria. It also is likely to damage relations between France and other African nations bordering on the Sahara, including Morocco, Tunisia, Senegal and Mali. Short Cut At Stake Presumably De Gaulle must have taken these risks into consideration when he ordered a Resumption of French underground testing in fact. What is at stake is a short cut to the first allFrench H-bomb device which the

De Gaulle government hopes to explode in the Pacific in 1964. The atomic devices being tested in granite caves in the Sahara are said to constitute the trigger for the planned French H-bomb. The French feel they are on strong legal ground in using the Sahara for nuclear testing. The Evian peace settlement with Algeria a year ago granted France the use of three Sahara bases for the next five years. True, the agreement contained no specific mention of nuclear testing. But the French say the Algerians must have ben fully aware of the purpose of the bases when they signed the pact. The Algerians retort that it is incompatible with their national sovereignty for France to use bases on Algerian territory for exploding nuclear devices. May Denounce Agreements The chief risk appears to be that Algerian Premier Ahmed Ben Bella may be forced by his own extremists as well as by pressure from other African nations and the “neutralist” bloc in general to denounce the Evian agreements as a whole. De Gaulle obviously considered this possibility and must have decided to take the calculated risk that in the end Ben Bella would not push things to that point. Denunciation of the Evian pact could in fact spell economic disaster for Algeria. Under it, France gives Algeria nearly S3OO million in financial aid this year. It has promised a minimum of S2OO million a year for the two following years. Without that aid Algeria can hardly hope to survive. That was De Gaulle’s ace-in-the-hole when he ordered resumption of Sahara nuclear tests.

Terre Haute Fire Loss $lO Million TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (UP!)— Smoke curled from the charred remains of a long row of shop buildings in the heart of this city’s business district today as merchants counted a loss of $lO to sl2 million from a disastrous windwhipped fire which swept the area Wednesday. Fire Chief Norman Fesler, one of 10 firemen hurt as they battled the stubborn blaze, said “well probably never learn what caused it” State Fire Marshal Ira Anderson, whose investigators probed the possibility that the fire was touched off as another in a series of gas leak accidents, said his office could find no evidence that gas had anything to do with the fire. Three explosions blamed on gas leaks killed 17 persons and injured more than 75 others in a six-week period here earlier this year and prompted the Indiana Legislature to enact a law calling for more inspections of gas lines and gas-fueled appliances in schools and other public buildings. Nearly 24 hours after the fire was brought under control with a dozen stores and five business offices either destroyed or damaged badly, police and firemen still stood guard on a round-the-clock basis to keep curious onlookers from being endangered by fire-weakened walls. They also watched to prevent flickering embers from causing more trouble because of strong winds which continued to sweep across the area. The fire was bad enough but it could have been worse. For a time it threatened to wipe out a much bigger area than the single row of buildings on the north side of Wabash Ave. between Sixth and Seventh Sts., and only the efforts of scores of firemen kept it from igniting shops across the street, others farther eastward, and the big Deming Hotel and the US. Postoffice north of the scene. Saturday for those unable to obtain reservations for the afternoon shows. Seats are unreserved for the morning show. The Civic theater box office will be open Friday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and at 9:30 a.m. Saturday.

Slight Increase In State Corn Acreage WASHINGTON (UPD-Indiana farmers will plant 4,703,000 acres of corn this year, an increase of five per cent over the 4,479,000 acres planted in 1962, according to Agriculture Department estimates. The five per cent increase was lower than most of the other top 10 corn producer states in the nation. Increases ranged from Wisconsin’s three per cent to Missouri’s 13 per cent. Seven of the 10 estimates were larger percentages than Indiana’s, including South Dakota 12, Minnesota 9, Nebraska and Ohio 8, lowa 7 and Illinois 6. Michigan also had an estimated five per cent increase. The national estimate was for an acreage of 69,769,000 acres, up 5.7 per cent from last year’s 65,984,000 acres and compared with a $597-61 average of 75,551,000. The public is invited.
