Although during every minute

babies are born. 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

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."

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.'

CLEVELAND -(INS)- Improved
street , lighting is eliminating .fatal
night traffic accidents in 13 Amer

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

estimated.

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."
