(This is the last of three dispatch es on President Gamal Abdel Nas ser of the United Arab Republic.) By WILBUR G. LANDREY UPI Correspondent Cairo-fCPD - Gamal Abdel Nasser is fighting the way he fights best-on several fronts, one of which faces West and another East. But his toughest battle may well be at home in Egypt against time and a rising pop ulation. It will outlast his quarrels with the Middle East Com munists, the Russians, the West and other Arab rulers. More than 1,400 men, wom en and children are packed into each square mile of the Nile Delta and the narrow green strip along the river that comprises inhabitable Egypt. The total population is. increasing by half a million a year-about two per cent. Income Low Per capita income is esti mated at $85 to ?100 a year compared with more than $2,150 a year in the United States. Some economists estimate that Egyptian per capita in come is about three-fifths of what it was in 1913. The pop ulation is out-running the available land and food sup ply. Aside from the rich pashas, who find it harder to import their big cars, most Egyptians are probably slightly better off now than before Nasser's revolution In 1952. One million fellahin (peas ants) have benefited from land reform. There are plenty of jobs for the skilled worker. There are always buyers for consumer goods. But unemployment is wide spread. The average number of working days in the coun- Fire-Ant Problem Claimed Becoming Southeast Threat irw War By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor New York - (CPD - Unless stern measures are taken, warns a highly informed sci- entist, most of the southeast United States is going to be o c c upied by 1 invading for- ; eigners who 1 have the ca- j pacity of sup porting ten million of Deios smith their individ uals on one acre of land. When they get up to that density per acre, there's little food left for anyone else, and what's more, added Dr. Ed ward O. Wilson, associate pro fessor of entomology of Hai vard University, these invad ers could do no less well for themselves in California. He thought the rest of the coun try was safe because of cli mates distastetful to the in vaders. Wilson was speaking of ants, but what ants! These South American fire-ants are "exploding populations" in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Caro lina. And all this came from a tiny and insignificant-looking beachhead in Mobile, Ala., which was first noticed around 1919! Eat Anything These ants eat anything, animal or vegetable, and they're ferocious about it. Wil son noted that they have con sumed pigs, calves, and whole, broods of chicks. Disturb a nest, which. Wilson estimated could contain up to 250,000 individuals, and ants swam out in dense packs eager to attack. Some Southern farm workers refuse to work in fields infested with nests. Yet the sting is much less fiery than that of the bee, Wil son said. The danger is in being stung by many ants all at once. At least two children have died of fire-ant venom because they happened to be especially sensitive to it. This ability of the ants to assemble in masses in a flash for de fense or attack on their prey, makes these pests different from other ants. Wilson said science had much to learn about what causes imported life to "ex plode" in a new environment. One obvious reason, or course, is that it leaves behind its natural enemies and competi tors. In South America, this variety of fire-ant isn't num erous enough to be considered much of a pest. Multiplication Rale Increasing Nor was it much of a .pest in Mobile through the 20s and into the 30s. Then something Happened which caused it to "explode." Wilson suggested a change in evolution brought about in the animal made it ideally suited to thrive in the South. At any rate, it has been thriving ever since and Wil son was positive the "explo sion" in multiplication rate was not only continuing but was also "accelerating." He believed the ants have reached the borders of their possible range in this coun try because they need the warmth of the South. But un less a strict quarantine is es tablished, they will be car- riea Dy motor trattic from the present western limit in Texas to California, which has cli mates it would like. Wilson has been a scien tific investigator of the ant since 1949 and is considered an authority. He summed up entomology's present knowl edge, which, he said, has a number of holes, in an organ of the American Museum of Natural History. tryside range from 150 to 220 a year. The first strong in pression of the Westerner is that Cairo's streets are filled with aimless, idle men. Land has been distributed but what is needed is more land. Middle East Workshop Nasser is trying to outrun the increasing population by industrializing his country in to the workshop of the Middle East and by creating more arable land. Work is scheduled to begin in earnest late this year on the first stage of the Aswan Dam which aims to increase Egypt's cultivated land by one-third, from six million to eight million acres. For that project, Russia promised-when its relations with Nasser were still good the equivalent of 100 million dollars. The Soviets have promised 175 million dollars to help Egypt's five-year in dustrial plans. There is yet another plan to create a "new valley" par allel to the Nile in the West ern Desert by drilling for wa ter and linking up a series of oases. The experience of the past several years has proved that it is easier to talk about am bitious programs than to carry them out. And Egypt can not carry them out without out side help. Already she spends more abroad than she earns. Al though she has a money earn er in the Suez Canal, she has found no fabulous oil reserves to finance her development. For that she will continue to need- help-from Russia, from the West, or from both.

French Railroad Workers on Strike Paris-flJPD-Communist union leaders pulled two-thirds of France's railroad engineers and firemen off their jobs for j 24 hours today in the first big strike since Gen. Charles de Gaulle assumed power last June.
