At noon he was promoted to

Wallace Is Suggested
10 Head World Group
On Food StabiIization
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Vice President Wallace was suR-
sested In ofiicial quarters today as
q possible head for . postwar inter-
national organization to stabilize
prices and supplies OF food and
farm products.
Such an organization was advo-
Gated by the United Nations food
conference held at Hot Springs, va,
a year ago. A report on a proposed
constitution for it is expected within
two weeks.
Now that Mr.. Wallace, defeated
for denomination, will be free to as
sumo other activities when his term
as Vice President expires in Janu-
AIRY, no matter who wins the No
vember elections, some American
omcials are suggesting him for the
chief executive post of the interna-
tional farm organization. The sug-
gestions come particularly from the
Agriculture Department, where he
served eight years as Secretary.
The goal of an international or
ganization, as outlined by the Hot
Springs meeting, would be to pro-
mote the production OF sufficient
supplies to meet the worlds nutri-
tional needs, and at the same time
to stabilize markets and prices so
as to assure producers equitable
prices.
This organization would take over
as soon as the United Nations Re-
lief and Rehabilitation Administra-
ton finishes the task of meeting
relief needs of war-torn areas in
the immediate period following the
war.
Mr.. Wallace has on several occa
sions urged the creation of an in
ternational crop adjustment pro-
gram for such basic commodities
as wheat, cotton, rice, sugar and
coffee. Under it each producing
country would maintain an ever
normal granary" reserve and would
be alllocated shares in world ex-
port markets
The organization would emphasize
work designed to encourage greater
consumption by low-income groups
to meet nutritional needs, another
| Wallace goal.
