World Famine
NEW YORK, May 17-—There is more than just temporary emergency of tomorrow in the world famine picture; there will be, insists Herbert H. Lehman, a continued emergency next fall and in the winter and spring of 1947 unless the food surplus nations revise their unrealistic, optimistic.and casual appraisal ol the situation. And while the man who built UNRRA thinks “vol: untary saving is praiseworthy,” he does not think voluntary efforts are more eflective than rationing. “It, is fantastic to imagine that they alone can save the terrible situation,” says Lehman. “Rationing fats and
the
ought never to have been taken off meats, oils, . Wheat should have been rationed-long ago. “The very best we can hope to do immediately is to mitigate the world situation,” says the former head
of UNRRA. “We cannot possibly cure it, And I'm convinced that unless we take adequate steps at once, by next autumn we shall find ourselves once more in the same tragic situation as today.” By adequate steps, Lehman means rationing af both the consumer and producer levels, much more stringent set-asides, and increased limitation on the use of bread grains for “any purpose other than human consumption » Otherwise: Starvation in 1947 for millions ‘more than the millions already doomed to death in the hungry nations. UNRRA, he pointed out as a reminder, is charged with only part ef the responsibility for preventing or minimizing starvation in the war-torn old world. It is doing its best for Italy, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Austria, Greece and Yugoslavia in Europe, and for China in the Far East. The program in Hungary is limited by inadequate resources. The army has responsibility in Germany and Japan All of these are relief recipients, other nations—Great Britain, France,

The war department reveals that long before the Nazis attacked London with V-1 and V-2 rockets, the army ordnance department was working on the develonment of guided missiles, Short-range missiles, remotely controlled—by radar and radio control, one sipposes—were under consideration. Chief attention was being. concentrated the nroduction of rockets by the hundreds of thousands for use in ground and air fighting.

paid to the development of short-range rockets, However, as the war department states, the advent of the atomic bomb in 1945 changed the picture. At nace guided missiles took a leading place in the research and development program
The new program required the establishment of NEW YORK (Thursday) If TI needed any proof
of a warm-hearted desire on the part of the people of this country to help starving people throughout the world, I have had it overwhelmingly :since the publication of a magazine article, some weeks ago, in which Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Gould and I talked about European conditions. From all over the country, people have written in asking for the names of families to whom they can send: food and clothing regularly; teachers have written in asking for the names of schools to which their pupils can send candy bars, Cities and villages have’ written in the names of European cities and they can adopt as a whole.

Starvation Threatens “WHAT ARE WE getting? UNRRA was granted 213 thousand tons for April, less than half what is needed to avert the greatest threat of mass starvation in world history. Never, at any time, did UNRRA get as much as one-fourth of its carefully screened minimum of fats and oils. Over all, 21 million tons of wheat are needed for the first half of 1946 and pot more than 12 millions are being provided. “We are hearing a lot about how the emergency is temporary. This gives me very great concern. “It's crazy to think that the war-ravaged countries can raise a normal crop this year or next, even if they have favorable weather. Their soil has deteriorated because they had no fertilizer for years; their draft animals have been killed or driven off; their remaining farm machinery and tools are entirely inadequate; their labor force has deteriorated in num~ bers and is so weakened by malnutrition that it can! not work long, hard or efficiently. “This summer's crops will. provide, at best, only a stopgap. They cannot provide any saving backlog for next winter's needs. If we are not to have many | more millions of starvation deaths a year from now, | we must take steps at once to help provide food for | the old world. i “We should begin at once to ration at both the | producer and the consumer levels.

The proving grounds are 125 miles long and 41 miles wide at the widest point. Everything is ideal except that an even greater length would have been preferred for the testing of long-range missiles. Establishment of the grounds‘ was approved by the secretary of war on Feb, 20, 1945, and their development was kept a war secret at the time In addition to facilities for firing rockets, are arrangements for testing jet propulsion and the like on the ground.
