plant growth otter still another About billion under the pro-

avenue to meeting the food

WASHINGTON UPI — New research in agricultural science will decide whether the next generation of Americans eat well or go hungry. That’s the conclusion of a study committee of plant scientists in a report made public recently by the National Academy of Sciences. The report noted that the American farmer’s current abil-

ity to produce a surplus of food rests largely on basic research discoveries made 25 to 40 years ago. One expert said that most of the gains made from these finds have already been exhausted. The committee, headed by Prof. Kenneth V. Thimann of the University of California, Santa Cruz, called for a sharp expansion of new plant re-

search, Including programs involving federal spending of $1.5 billion over the next decade. The panel said that plant science now is close to new breakthroughs paralleling the tapping of nuclear energy. It cited biochemical engineering, for example, saying that the immense potential of plant-growth regulators has barely been explored. In heredity control, the committee saw another field for dramatic change. It said researchers were now coming into view of the long-sought goal of designing crops to specification. Studies of trace elements in

needs of rapidly growing population. The committee said the addition of molybdenum to some Australian soils at the rate of 1 ounce per acre increased plant production by 10 to 20 times. Hie report proposes, among other new research, the use of a special fund to support basic biological studies on 15 major food crops, the crops which stand between mankind and starvation. The new program would be over and above the work now being done in the federal government’s own laboratories.

posed program would be spent to support work by individual scientists outside the government, and for graduate training in plant sciences. The remaining $500 million would be spent for special projects and new equipment, including a control-led-climate plant study facil-

ity.

Cord Auto May Return To State Tulsa, Okla. UPI — The Cord Automobile Co. Is being refinanced and may be moved from

Tulsa to Indiant, president Wayne McKinley of BeUeviUe HI., said. “We need $500,000 additional capital in order to operate profitably,” McKinley said. We hope to get the refinancing this week, and when we do, we will re-open.” He said the firm might accept an offer to relocate in Northeastern Indiana if capital for the Tulsa operations is not obtained. The plant, which opened last December, closed July 1 for a “vacation” for its employes. It has not returned to production. McKinley said there had been no difficulty in selling the cars—

the 102nd was on the production line when the plant closed. — But the firm had trouble building the autos fast enough and buying parts in large enough qualities to break even. He said the capital would go largely into inventory and would enable the firm to buy parts at a considerable saving. Glenn Pray, a former Tulsa school teacher, founded the Cord Co. and pioneered engineering and production of the new Cord, which is eight-tenths the size of the original model produced in the late 1930s.

Pray recently resigned as Cord president to begin work on production of the Auburn, another classic auto built by the same firm that produced the original Cord. The cars were built originally at Auburn, Ind.
