Sir John Russell, eminent'' agriculturalist, believes that science can Successfully feed the new: millions IrvJUs presidential address to the British Association for the Adl vancement of Science Sir John made a challenging yet optimistic apparlsai of the "World Popula tion and World Food Supplies." The main hope for world agri culture, he explained, was the de velopment of poor land, fuller use of fertilizers, progress in plant and livestock breeding, and more ef fective control of pests and diseas es, fi "But"; he warned, "it would be wrong tb think of the world as a Welfare State where food will be produced simply out of a sense of duty. If more food is needed, more work must be done to earn it." Asiatic Aid Seen He revealed how a nitrogen dls covery concerning the fertilization of marshland in Cumberland coun ty may help to eliminate unrest in Asia caused by food shortage. "Japanese experts saw in it for the first time, a scientific basis for the manuring of the rice crop and rice is perhaps, the most cru cial crop in the world," he said. Huge; tractors of more than 150 hp., using fermented straw as fuel, will probably one day help farmers: to feed the people, he predicted. Increasing -mechanization was the most significant change in modern i farming. Before the war British farms used 60,000 tractors but now there were more than 260,000 tractors, i Seventy-five thousand men were directly employed in the construction of Rockefeller Cen ter, New York. from Eergs .

College Prexy Gives Tips on Flunking Out9 - GRANVILLE, O. -(INS)-Chase the girls, fall in love, drink heav ily, ignore homework and skip classes on the campus. President Kenneth I. Brown of Denison University at Granville handed out this advice recently to new students "who have their hearts set on flunking out of col lege." He said: "'Keep ifl mind that fun comes first, and never let class work in terfere. Romance will help. It is Interesting : how a man ' in love can help himself toward success in failing and .Can often aid the beloved to pull down low grades, too." "Liquor also helps," he added. "Granville-1 is dry, alcoholically speaking, but if ,you are deter mined to drink, you will find bars and beer parlors In Newark." Grow Beard, Look Haggard "If you grow a week's beard and look haggard, you can probably get the stuff In spite of the law forbidding the sale of liquor : to minors,'' he pointed out. As far as classes are concerned, Dr. Brown told prospective fail ures that the classroom is a "chance to rest from the exhaus tion of travel." "Read as much as you wish, but avoid . . . those books which bear upon classes," he advised. Dr. Brown said that if his ad vice were followed: "No conscientious student, deter mined to flunk out, need worry for a moment that "he be unable to succeed in achieving a most com plete and abysmal failure." Conscientious, Dignified Service wmm wmm Pension Issue Tops'Ballot In California By Morrte Landsberg SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. California voters will pass second. Judgment next Tuesday on a unique and argument rousing $200,000,000 a year welfare sys tem that has been frozen Into the State constitution, vi : The off year election campaign has whipped up a whirlwind fight with angry, name calling over tones. 'fb "Beat the MnfLnin pension ma chine," says one side. "Don't starve, the old folks!" says the other. The voters In this favorite state of senior citizens, and pension movements will get the last word. They'll decide f a question that comes down to this: "Did we make a big mistake just a year ago? ' It goes back to passage last No vember of what was known as proposition 4. The measure com: pletely revised the state's welfare setup while stepping tip payments to needy aged $65 to $75 a month and blind $75 to $$5 Shifted Administration But No. 4 : also shifted county administration of this program to the state. It "wrote Into the con stitution the name of Mrs. Myrtle Williams as social welfare director answerable to neither the gov ernor nor the legislature. And it gave aged-blind aid first call on the state's general fund ahead of schools. The new initiative seeks to re peal this and other controversial features of No. 4. It would not cut down aid payments. The noisy campaign has brought repeated charges and denials that Nn A Virii44 mnfml ett tm I welfare system to pension advo cate George McLain, former asso ciate of the brisk, red haired Mrs. Williams. It was the sleek, forty ish McLain, as leader of the "Citi zens committee for old age pen sions;" who sponsored the 1948 amendment. Bnllt Organisation McLain has built up a big state wide organization with a faithful following of oldsters. He says he has100,000 mem bers, Each of these pays in $1 a year as the subscription price for his weekly newspaper. The National Pension Advocate. Some of his forme? associates testified at legislative hearings that his "take" of contributions in addition to membership funds sometimes amounts to more than $4,000 a day.' , Mrs. Williams, a reluctant, of ten evasive witness before a legis lative committee, pooh poohed assertions that. McLain was the real boss of her department that he made the appointments and gave the orders for her to carry out. But Governor Earl Warren urged passage of the new initia tive. He blasted unnamed pension promoters who, he said, "are now behind the scenes manipulators of our entire social welfare system.'

Improved Lighting Lowers Accident Rate in Cleveland CLEVELAND -(INS)- Improved street , lighting is eliminating .fatal night traffic accidents in 13 Amer ican cities. The Street and Traffic Safety Lighting Bureau in Cleveland re ported an average 82 per cent re duetion in after-dark fatalities when model T lights were replaced with modern luminaries. Los Angeles, which reduced night traffic deaths 91 percent by relighting 20 main Intersections, and Detroit, which reported a 75 per cent reduction by relighting a main street, were two of the lead ers in the traffic study of 13 cities. A reduction of only 54 per cent in night deaths would mean a saving of 10,000 lives annually for the nation as a whole, the bureau estimated.

Group to Prepare j Reports on State Mental Hospitals NEW YORK-fiVThe American Psychiatric , association has bean asked to Inspect and rata the state mental hospitals of 23 states. Dr. George S. Stevenson, association president, reports. The impartial survey will be financed by the Psychiatric Foundation. "Too many states In the past have thought of their state ser vices as political patronage," Dr. Stevenson said. "But now they are realizing that if the mental hospitals are dealt with political ly, the situation, may backfire, creating an explosion more pow erful than patronage." Dr. Harold W. Elley, president of the Psychiatric Foundation, predicted the reports made on the hospitals would help raise the standards of care for the nearly 700,000 patients in the nation's mental hospitals. Recommenda tions can be made that will In crease the rate of recovery, he said. Only One Jap Cop in 5 O wns His Own Gun TOKYO (INS) Japanese crit ics of the Allied-imposed police system in their occupied country contend that besides being struc turally inefficient, it has failed to provide sufficient equipment to ensure strict law enforcement. They point out that there are only 25,000 pistols for use by the nation s 125,000 cops. Besides, i they say, there are 29 to 30 types, of pistols of German, Belgium, United States and Jap anese manufacture in the lot. which creates a major problem in supplying adequate ammuni tion, j H. S. Eaton, .chief police admin istrator fOrCren. Douglas Mac Arthur, admits this but says the weapons are "efficiently distribut ed." "We are getting along all right," Eaton says. He explained that this was done by distributing the pistols to the areas where crime was most pre valent and by making individual policemen; carry weapons only when they are on duty. He said ' there was an available stock of 10 to 20 rounds of ammu nition fori each pistol, which, he said, was "sufficient." , Eaton admitted that It would be "ideal" to have each of the 125,000 men carry a weapon, but added that the Occupation authorities had made "no definite plans" for rearming the Japanese police. He denied current rumors that every Japanese policeman was about tolget a new, shiny .45 cali ber pistoh- In addition to pistols, Japanese police now carry nightsticks, na tionally standardized in length and thickness. Before Japan's surrend er in 1945, they carried only swords. Eaton, who has been a police ad ministrator for 25 years, says Gen eral MacArthur's headquarters is "not considering" supplying the Japanese police with large cali ber automatic weapons "at this time." He said: "Rifles and machine-guns are dangerous even in the hands of well-trained policemen. I know from experience that they are likely to kill, mora bystanders than criminals."
