Lonjr ROME, Dec 22-flVThe appeal f life in the cities, the better pay and hours of jobs In industry, and the needs for defense against ag gression are threatening the world's breadbasket. . , - ' The sixth world conference of the food and agriculture organiza tion of U.N. expressed "special anxiety" over the outlook for cere alsthe staff of life for four-fifths of the world's population. In a summary of the world cereal outlook, the conference re ported: 1. An increasing movement of manpower from farming districts into the cities; 2. Transfer of farm workers to the steadily expanding job possi bilities of industry; 3. Further loss of rural man power to the requirements of de fense. The report said these trends "may have a serious impact on food production particularly ce reals." Expect Decline FAO experts said they expect a decline in cereal production within the next two years in North America and the south Pacific re gion two of the world's greatest growers of exportable cereal sur plus. These experts said that despite hopeful higher production goals set in some countries, they could see no actual prospect of real gains. The report said thus "it could not ignore the danger of the re currence of a world crisis in cereals on the scale of the early post-war years." The report said the problem could not be met merely by trying to ship cereals from the surplus countries to the countries in want. "The restoration of average nu trition standards in Europe and the far east to their pre-war rela tion with North American stand ards would require a movement equivalent to some 75 million tons of wheat into international trade in excess of the amount of the quantity moved before the war. This," the report added, "is obviously impossible under any conceivable circumstances. Vast Expansion "The longer term problem of a vast expansion in production par ticularly in the food deficit areas must be solved." Of present "increase targets", the report said: "For Europe, the far east and near east, ' an aggregate increase of 34 million tons of grain, or nearly ten per cent, is envisaged over the two years from 1950 to 1952. Current trends scarcely con firm this possibility. "In Europe, the area under cereals as a whole is not increas ing. In the far east the trend is slowly upwards, in the near east the trends is more marked, but below the rate of increase needed." 5 $f Retire lYV ISMteT 47 E mf '" sr. A Ernest C.

America's Concrete Highways May Turn into 'Rubber Bands7 By Bob McHash BALTIMORE, Dec. 22 -()-The ribbons of concrete that carry American traffic from coast to coast may some day turn into rubber bands. Highway engineers in at least 13 states and some parts of Canada are keeping a critical eye on experimental strips of "rubber roads." A 2,000-foot stretch ol test roaa was iaia io monms ago la oaiu- highway engi- more. Today tne neer's office terms the rubber- asDhalt road the "best we've got." Supporters of the rubber and asphalt mi claim such roads pro vide a surface that is smoother and more resistant to skidding. They contend that because of the elasti city, rubber roads resist the de structive expansion and contrac tion brpught on by temperature changes. Deputy Engineer William L. Chilcoate says the Baltimore test road is "holding up well" after two summers and one hard winter of suburban thoroughfare use. Test Road Made , Chilcoate who took charge of the project after its inception, said the test road was constructed in this fashion: The entire strip was laid out over a section of old pavement that had a concrete base with brick surfacing. Abandoned street car tracks were left in place. The roadway was levelled with asphaltioconcrete binder, and an other course of binder was placed over the entire road to an approxi ate depth 'of one inch. Sections of standard sheet as phalt pavement topping were poured at either end of the test strip to provide a comparison un der identical traffic conditions. Between those strips the rubber mix topping was laid. The propor tion of rubber used was 54 per cent to the weight of asphaltic cement required. Made Each Year Laboratory tests are to be con ducted each year to determine the hardness and elasticity of each piece of . the test strip. The tests will be made in the highway en gineer's laboratories under con trolled conditions. Chilcoate say: a rubber road replacing a standard aspalt road with a life span of 20 years would have to last about 25 years to be economically desirable. He puts the construction cost of rubber mix roads at 21 per cent higher, than the standard as phalt variety. The rubber used in Greek Solons Approve New Constitution ATHENS, Greece, Dec. 22-(JP)-Premier Nicholas Plastiras left his sickbed today and helped the gov ernment parties win approval in parliament of a new Greek con stitution. The new constitution received only two votes more than the ab solute majority of the 258-mem-ber house required for ratification. The new constitution differs from the one now in effect in that it empowers the king in emer gencies to suspend certain funda mental clauses. These include the rights of assembly and association. PURSE SEINER BURNS LOS ANGELES, Dec. 22 -JPe)-The $100,000 Purse Seiner El Pad re caught fire and burned to the water line today despite efforts of her 10-man crew to fight the flames from a skiff. the new mix is ground natural rubber. Chilcoate says Baltimore in tends to vatch its road experiment for "about 10 years" before de ciding whether or not to convert to rubber-asphalt for all future road construction.

GREATER S ALEI1 GOSPEL CRUSADE- FOB FURTHER PTOBMATION WHITE BOX 227 SALEM Mossadhtfr'' Conduct Loan Drive Soon TEHRAN, Iran, Dec. 22-(ffV-Premier Mohammed Mossadegh, in a radio address filled with bitterness toward foreign "im perialists, tonight appealed to the Iranian people for 10 million dollars in the next two months to keep his goverrnment going. The aged and ailing premier asked to subscribe to the first issue of a national loan which ultimately may reach two bil lion rials (40 million dollars). ; Mossadegh's regime is nearing the end of Its financial resources, due mainly to loss of former Brit ish oil revenues amounting, di rectly or indirectly, to about nine million dollars-monthly. His appeal came a few hours after Britain had rejected Iran's ultimatum to former western customers to buy oil within 10 days on Mossadegh's own terms or see It go to others. The ulti matum expired today. Britain Turkey Catches Fox DALLAS, Tex-, Dec. 22-UP) Mrs. Faye Teper caught a fox with a turkey bone today. She saw the fox walking down a sidewalk, ran into a house and asked a woman for "something to catch a fox with." The woman asked, "Would a turkey bone do?" Mrs. Teper offered the bone to the fox. He eyed her and sniffed the bone. Then he followed her into the house. She picked up the fox, thanked the startled woman and carried it home. Now she wonders what to do with a tame fox. "If "no one claims it, I guess we'll keep It," she said. bluntly warned the premier not to try to peddle the oil to other customers before the international court of justice decides who is the rightful owner. ,Tha StabsV&aifrSakn Fred Wo Jones Succumbs at Home in Salem Fred W.
