tables and get its grains from the
Western Hemisphere.
To bring about such a reorienta-
ton of world agriculture, a world
agricultural authority undoubtedly
would be necessary.
Suggestions for creation of such
an authority may come not only
from United States delegates but
from others, including the British.
Likewise, delegates are expected
to discuss proposals for interna-
tional agreements to control sur
pluses, stabilize prices and divide
world markets for such major COM
modities as cotton. wheat, rubber,
coffee, sugar and vegetable oil
crops. The basis of such an agree
ment already has been formulated
for wheat.
However, the Hot Springs meet
ing is not expected to make recon-
mendations of such detailed nature
as to involve a worldwide AAA or
food authority. Neither is it ex-
pected to take any action affecting
individual crops or commodities. In
stead, its principal achievement may
be to start a train of worldwide
thought which eventually will lead
to concrete measures to free all
peoples from want.
The conference will be watched
by critical eyes here and abroad.
In some quarters in Congress the
conference has been pictured as a
conclave at which the United States
will appear in the role of an inter-
national Santa Claus, prepared to
give away its food, wealth and for
eign markets. On the other hand,
accusations have been made in some
other countries that the confer
ence is designed as an ambitious
scheme of the United States and
Great Britain to gain control of
international trade in the postwar
period.
American delegates say neither
picture is correct.

43 Nations 10 Start
Food Problems Study
AT Hot Springs
Sponsors Soy Discussion
.Moy Better STANDARD
Of Living for Millions
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The first of a series of United
Nations conferences on impor-
tant problems growing out of
the prewar period of economic
and political nationalism and
the war itself will open at Hot
Springs, Va, Tuesday, when rep
resentatives of 43 governments
begin discussion of ways of free
ing the postwar world from want
of food.
1t will be the first world gathering
OF governments on a truly global
scale since the swan-song session
late in 1899 of the League of Ma
tions-an organization that failed to
establish and maintain a system of
world political and economic order.
Described simply as conference
on food and agriculture, the Hot
Springs parley could turn out, its
sponsors say, to be one of the most
significant gatherings of its kind in
history. It could, they add, point
the way to a new world order-an
order providing a much higher
standard of living for millions whose
lives are plagued by hunger, i'll
health and ignorance.
Diets Are Inadequate.
The basic problem facing the con-
ference is the fact that upwards of
two thirds of the worlds peoples
subsist on diets inadequate for
healthful and productive living
Paralleling this condition is the ex-
istence of food productive resources
ample to provide all with plenty OF
good food if ways could be found to
harness them.
Often in the past, huge supplies OF
food accumulated in warehouses, un-
used because hungry persons did not
have the money to. buy them. AS q
consequence, the producers of foods
themselves went in want of indus
trial products because they could not
sell the products of the soil.
AS indicated by the agenda OF
the conference, the food parley will
try to work out ways of solving
this seeming dilemma of want amid
potential plenty.
This is not the first time world
leaders have sought to bring about
an improvement in the consumptive
standards of the people. Back in
1885, the League of Nations and
the International Labor ONCE be-
gan worldwide movement to bring
about. concerted attack on the
food problem of all nations.
Nutrition Groups setup.

Police Of Two States
Join District Hunt for
Wild Phantom Driver
Net Thrown About CITY
Following New Reports
On Suspects Activity

Every available police car was in
service last night as Maryland and
Virginia authorities joined District
police in a search for the phantom
driver whose mania for speed is be-
lieved responsible for the death of
one person and the terrorizing of
several others.
Acting on information that the
phantom driver was in action again
last night, police Immediately threw
a barrier around the city. Police
were warned to Use every precaution
in apprehending the suspect.
The suspect narrowly escaped cap
ture Friday night as Montgomery
County police chased him into the
District from Silver Spring.
Nearly Caught Friday.
At speeds reaching 10 miles-an-
hour, during which the Montgomery
police fired several shots at the
speeding auto, the two cars sped into
Washington until the suspect
jumped out of his still speeding car
in the 600 block OF Gallatin street
NV. The lunging car continued up
an alley and finally crashed into the
front yard at SAT Hamilton street
NV, where 1t narrowly missed 2
year-old Robert Kfagh, who was
playing in the yard.
The suspect, known to police for
some time as a speed maniac, es-
capped by taking bus in the
vicinity. Early last night, however,
the theft of an automobile from the
Cathedral Garage at Twenty-sev-
enth street and Cathedral avenue
NV, set police again on,the alert.
Police believe that the phantom
driver has a hidden cache of stolen
automobiles. They believe he steals
only high-powered cars.
Soon after the theft was reported.
the stolen auto was seen speeding
in the Brightwood area and later
was seen on the East-West highway
roaring along at an estimated speed
Of 80 miles-an-hour.
Link to Fatality.
Police linked the driver with the
hit-run death last Tuesday of Miss
Cora Frank, 68, of 1916 Warren
street NV. Miss Frank was killed
Ninstantly by wildly driven auto as
she crossed the street.
Park police have spotted the
driver in Rock Greek Park several
times, only to lose him as the suspect
manipulated the winding roads at
a high rate of speed
Police In the park say the man
Is SO brazen that several times he
has blown his horn as he flashed by
headquarters in an effort to set the
police on his trail.
The suspect is described as %
years of age, S feet, 9 inches tall,
weighing 141 pounds and of slender
build. He wears his dark brown
hair very long and at time has worn
mustache. His face Is pimply and
he sometimes wears smoked glasses.

james Roosevelt Visits
New Zealand on Leave
BY the Associated Press

AUCKLAND, New Zealand, May
15.-Lt Col. James Roosevelt, eldest
son of President Roosevelt, who has
been on duty in the South Pacific
as commanding officer of Marine
Corps raider battalion, declared to-
day that American troops would re-
main In this part Of the world "un-
til we beat the Japanese"
Col. Roosevelt, who won the Navv
Cross for his part in raid on Maxim
Island last August, said he had
seen plenty of the japanese since
then and frequently had been over
enemy bases by plane. Here on
leave, he said his mother hoped to

lace, who, in turn, is the advocate
of an international food authority,
modelled somewhat after this coun-
try's Agriculture Department, with
its AAA to control and guide crop
production and marketing, its Farm
Credit Administration to provide
credit to farmers and to encourage
farm cooperative enterprises, its
Farm Security Administration to
give technical and financial assist
ance to low income farmers, its Sur
plus Commodities Corp. to distrib-
ute food among low-income con-
sumers, it's research agencies to show
the way to more efficient produc-
ton and use of agricultural COM
modities.
Nationalism Is Assailed.
Mr.. Wallace, as well as other
agricultural leaders in this country,
contend that the world, If it is to
hope for permanent peace, must
abandon nationalistic policies de-
signed to make individual nations
sufficient as regards foods and
other commodities. They say also
that countries must abandon cut
throat methods Of competing for
world markets.
A worldwide program of expanded
consumption, they argue, would pro-
vide such an increase in demand
that there would be no room for
ruinous competition, that instead
there would be ready markets for
all.
AS indicated by the agenda, the
conference will consider the posi-
bility of re-mapping the worlds
agriculture. Under a program ad-
vocated by many in this country,
as we'll as in Great Britain, each
nation would be asked to guide its
agricultural production in channels
which would gi~e the maximum
output in terms of nutritional
values. Each then would trade its
particular surpluses, if any, with
nations having surpluses of a diff
ferent nature, but likewise the re-
suit of equally efficient production.
Production Changes Expected.
Western Europe, for example,
might under such a program sharp
ly reduce the production of wheat
and other cereals Instead, it might
concentrate on the production of
milk livest1ck fr,lits and veoe.
