People In Many Other
Lands Will Be Near Star
walton During Year

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-(RtThe
agriculture department took an in
ventory in the worlds 1arder to-
night and figured that Americans
will eat more than ever before in
1916 while people in many lands
will be near starvation"
A survey Of conditions in some
65 countries forecast IL per cent
less food for the average person
in the 1945-46 season than in pre-
war years.
But few people will be average.
The department drew this picture
Of contrasts:
United States-"Total food sup
plies continue at record levels
Civilian food consumption per
capita in the United States in 1916
is expected to exceed that Of any
previous year, barring unusually
poor crops"
Rations in several
countries are near starvation
levels" The department said
Italy, Germany, French North
Africa, France, Spain, India and
China apparently are the areas
with ''the most difficult food and
bread problem
World grain supply problems
were described as 1.-The most diff
ficult" ever recorded.
The report On the world food
situation was prepared before
President Truman issued this week
a hare-the-bread order intended
to provide more food for the
hungry abroad and less for people
at home. The order may modify
to some extent the departments
analysis of conditions in other ma
tons.
It will not change the depart
ment's estimate that world pro-
duction of nearly all staple foods
is below pre-war figures during
the 1945-46 season and that the
shortages will be felt most severe
ly in the first half of this year,
before new crops are harvested.
For 1946-47, the department pre-
diets increased production of most
important crops, unless there is
more unfavorable weather over
large areas. But the output, it
said, still is certain to be lower
than before the war.
For the United States. things
sized up this way before Mr.. Tru-
mans sharing program was an
nounced:
Meat-about $50 pounds per per-
son for 1916. The 1915 production
was over q, 1000, GOO,Oo pounds. The
1916 forecast is around %, 900, 600,
600. Exports may be somewhat
above 1,O00,0O0,OO0 pounds. (The
President wants to send 1900, 0oo,'
900 pounds already
Fish-prospects favorable.
Eggs production down from
around 10000, 900, 600 to $4,000, ooo,.
900. But civilians are expected
to want fewer eggs because OF a
satisfactory meat supply.
Milk-production will be slight.

cause widespread suffering and
death, and consequently set back
all plans for reconstruction"
The resolution asked that the
General Assembly urge all govern
ments and peoples "to take i'm
mediate and drastic action, both
directly and through the interna-
tional organizations concerned, to
conserve supplies, by securing ade-
quate collection of crops from the
producer, by saving food and avoid
ing waste, and to ensure the maxi
mum production of grain IN the
coming season"
It also asked that governments
publish as full information as pos
sible on their own supplies and re-
quirements, and that this data be
published to help nations determine
short and long term agricultural
policy.

ELECTRICIANS SETTLE
STRIKE AT GM PLANTS
Confined from Pare one)


Charles G. Ross told his news con-
ference yesterday good progress
was being made.
CLIO President Philip Murray re-
ported the two sides Were IN SUD-
stantial agreement.
Expressing optimism over
chances Of early settlement, MUIR
raw said any wage agreement IN
the steel strike would run until
Feb. Is, 1947.
Asked whether this meant ne
expected the steel strike to end
by next Friday. Feb. IS, he said
'you will have to make your own
assumption but we've gotten that
far in the negotiations"
The question OF now retroactive
to make a pay increase was re-
ported as the only remaining
stumbling block to settlement OF
the 20 day strike OF 10000 steel
workers. which has made more
than 10000 others idle in allied il
dustries and threatened hundreds
of factories across the nation with
early shutdoWns.
Murray, meanwhile, told 4 Sen
ate Labor committee that Benjamin
F. Fairless, president OF U. S. Steel.
tentatively agreed to 10 IL cents
hourly wage boost for striking
steel workers on Jan. II but
changed his mind a few days
later. The CLIO heads remarks
came during testimony in opposition
to fact-fiading legislation.
''Base Falsehood"
Fair1ess, commenting on re-
marks attributed to Murray, said
in statement in New York Jan.
IS that sit is a base falsehood that
l ever stated to Mr.. Murray that
I regarded his demand for wage
increase Of 10 10 cents meritorious
or that I would recommend favor
ably to the steel industry the &C
ceptance of such a wage increase')
Settlement of this one dispute
alone would trim the figure Of L.
$4,000 strike idle in the nation to
around 100000.
However, the new wage-price
policy the government is drafting
for early PRONUNCIATION is aimed at
settling other major strikes. Al
though President Truman told his
news conference Thursday he ex-
pected it in day or two. Ross said
ne did not know whether it would
be announced this weekend.
There was not complete agree
meAt among Washington officials
on whether an end Of the steel
strike must await announcement
OF the new wage-price policy. While
some officials expressed the hope
the steel qud jon could be dis
posed of first, one adviser ex-
pressed doubt this could be &C.
complished.

DIED TUESDAY
Owner of Ice Service Co. Clay.

Agency Here Died Tuesday
HOLD FUNERAL FRIDAY

William ]. M. Wroten, So, owner
of the Ice Service Company, Clay
ton and of a plant for the manu-
featuring of ice at Denton, Md,
died at his home in Smyrna on
Tuesday, September 8. One of
the outstanding citizens of the
Smyrna-Clayton community, and
for many years resident of Clay
ton, ne moved to Smyrna IN 1910
when he purchased the insurance
agency and also the home Of the
late Hervey P. Hall. A native of
Harrington, the son of William s.
Wroten and Cora Collision, he came
to Clayton in 1914 and was en-
ployed by the Pennsylvania Rail-
road as a telegraph operator and
ticket clerk, which position he held
for approximately twelve years.
He later became a partner of Emil
Potter in the ice business and sub
sequently was engaged alone in
that business. He was member
of the board of stewards of Asbury
Methodist Church, and past pres
ident of the Eastern Ice Assocla-
ton, an affiliate of the National Ice
Association. He also held MEM
bership in Harmony Lodge No. IL
A. F. and A. M. and the Delaware
Consistory. Interested in matters
of civic improvement he was active
in the affairs of the Smyrna-Clay-
ton Chamber of Commerce and a
director of that group. His death
came as a great shock to the COM
munity and it is felt that Smyrna
and Clayton have lost a valued cit
izen. He is survived by his wife,
Mrs. Lee c. Wroten; two brothers,
Wallace S. Wroten and Jennings G.
Wroten, both of Wilmington; and
two sisters, Mrs. Frank Steinmetz,
of Millville, New Jersey; and Mrs.
Manila Adams, Snow Hill, Md.
Funeral services will be held at
the residence on Friday, Septem-
ber 6 at 2 o'clock, with the Rev.
Robert E. Green, pastor of Asbury
Methodist Church, officiating. In
terment will be in Odd Fellows

HEAVY LABOR
DAY TRAFFIC
State Record Marred by Only
One Accidental Death
During Weekend
342 DEATHS IN NATION

Despite the heavy national toll
of 342 deaths over the Labor Day
weekend, Delaware enjoyed its
safest three-day holiday in three
years when a perfect traffic record
was achieved. Only one accident
al death, a drowning at the Hopes
Reservoir at Wooddale, when Sam
uel Holley attempted to rescue two
friends, marred the states record.
One of the heaviest streams of
traffic on Delaware highways since
before the war was accident-free
as state and city police reported
no serious injuries had resulted
from several minor mishaps. Stat
istics from the Delaware Safety
Council showed that the last Labor
Day weekend during which there
were no traffic deaths was in l94o.
Delaware was one of eight states
which had only one death from
various causes. An estimated
crowd of $4,000 persons thronged
Rehoboth Beach equalling the pre-
vious record at the resort, officials
said. Riverview Beach had 10000
visitors and Deemer's Beach near
New Castle was packed with TO-
900 persons. The New Castle fer
fy experienced one of its busiest
days in recent history, but no SER
ious traffic jams occurred at any
time during the long weekend.
Buses and trains were filled with
vacationsists going north and
south.
