EUROPEAN FOOD
 CONDITIONS BAD,
 DECLARES HOOVER
Over Two Million Children Especially Suffer Un-
 dernouishment

HELSINKI. April | = Herbert Hoover head of an American Com mission investigating European food conditions, told reporters to- day that Finland's food rations can be maintained at their present lev el until the. end of June. but that thereafter there will be shortage of 10000 to 50,000 tons of grain un- til the end of September when the new harvest is reaped.
 Hoover said 100000 Finns-40O,- coo evacuees from land ceded Rus sia, small wage earners and Films living in the area ravaged by the Germans-are in urgent need of additional food"
 About 500,000 children over the age of two, he added are seriously undernourished.
 Hoover. who arrived here yes- terday from Warsaw. said condi- tions in Poland were the worst he , had seen thus far in Europe and that a study by American experts showed lover 2.60o000 children arc | terribly sub-normal from under nourishment.f

FARMERS0F
 MATANU5kA
 FACE L05S
Hundreds of Tons of Spuds Must Be Dumped
 No Market

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, April L. Matanuska Valley farmers are fac ing the loss of a large portion of their l945 potato cfop because hun dreds of tons of Alaska spuds will have to be dumped in the river for lack of a market.
 Marketing agents say there are two major reasons for the surplus The crop was unusually good last year, each acre yielding an increase over previous years. Then, too, the sudden and unexpected end of the war last August brought an im- mediate reduction in the Army market.
 Although the Army and the All aska Railroad are using as many local potatoes as possible, approxi- mately 1,400 tons are now in stor- age in the Anchorage area.
 Members of the Matanuska Val ley Farmers Cooperative Association received an advance of one percent per pound for their potatoes wher they brought them to the Co-oI for storage and sale. Now it ap- pears, that the one cent will be al that many of the farmers will real ize from their crop.
 One of the farmers who faces the loss of almost half his crop is Early Berry, an original colonist. Ht planted p acres in potatoes last spring. Thirty tons have been sole but 25 additional tons are without buyer.
 He sold portion of his crop tt the Railroad and had hoped to sel more. However, the last Railroad contract was awarded to another farmer who underbid him by foul cents per hundred pounds. The po- tatoes were purchased by the Rail- road for slightly more than $3 pei hundred. Last year the farmers re- ceived an average of $4.25, some times as much as $5.
 Some of the farmers, who lost heavily on their crop, will be with out funds to buy seeds for the new growing season.

CLARK FIELD. Japan. April 1.-- Millions of dollars worth of Ameri- can war planes. lined up in neat rows along runways of an abandon ed Japanese airstrip here, are rap idly being converted into junk by weather and looters.
 Two correspondents spent hours Sunday. without authority and without being stopped or question ed, wandering through the two- mile collection of planes. which range from Mustangs to Liberators
 Rapid demobilization not only deprived U. s. air forces of the personnel to keep the planes air worthy-it also reduced the number of men available to guard them or the ground.

SECRET PROTOCOL
 BETWEEN RUSSIA,
 GERMANY SHOWN

NUREMBERG, April 1.--Joachim von Ribbentrop, former Nazi foreign
 minister, testified before the Inter-
 national Military Tribunal today that Prime Minister Stalin agreed in Moscow in August, 1889, that he would never accuse Germany of aggression because of her actions in Poland"
 The agreement was that I'll ag- gression were spoken of both par
 ties would be guilty Ribbentrop said.
 The accord, Ribbentrop continued, was reached Aug. 2l, l930--less than two weeks before the Nazi march into Poland--in the course of nego- tiaticns for Russian German non- aggression pact and a secret proto-
 col for partitioning Poland, Fin land and. the Baltic states. The testimony was given after R A. Rudenko, Soviet prosecutor, pro-
 tested against admission of an, af- fidavit by Friedrich Gaus, former
 Nazi foreign office negotiator, re- lating to the alleged secret proto- col.
 1 Rudenko accused the defense of attempting to divert the attention | of the tribunal from real issues
 by dwelling nthe reported Rus sian- German understanding prior to
 the outbreak of the war. | The Tribunal decided. however
 that the affidavit could be admit
 ted as evidence and that Ribben-
 trop could testify on the matter. Ribbentrop said that at the time 1 the alleged secret agreement was negotiated There was not the i slightest doubt in the minds of Hit Ter of Stalin that if all negotia-
 tions with Poland came to naught territory taken from our two coun-
 tries by force of arms would be
 reunited to them by force of arms
 In this manner. the eastern boun-
 daries. (of Poland) would be turned
 over to the Soviet Union and the
 western territories to Germany"

RUSSIA PAYS
 DUES TO UN0;; |G00DGESTURE.
Full Team Basis Indicated After Soviet Tenn
 porary Absence

NEW YORK, April 1-Russia s payment in full of her dues in the United Nations gave a boost today to hopes that the Security Council will soon be running on full team basis.
 It has been one man short since Wednesday when Russian delegate Andrei Gromyko walked out in pro- test against the councils refusal to defer the Iranian question until April To-
 Members of the other ten dele gations could count three develop ments in favor of their hope that Russia might end what one offi- cial called temporary absence and resumes it's place on the coun- cil when that body reconvenes We'd nesday These were:
 l. The news from Moscow, re- leased here by Secretary General Trygye Lie, that Russia had paid in full her s1,723 900 assessment for the United Nations working capital She was the first big power to dc so.
 2. Boris Stein, alternate Russian delegate, has been working stead ily-nnd most congenially, other members said-on the council com mittee which is drafting rules fol the conduct of business.
 3. Similarly, the Russians have taken part in meetings of the mill tarY staff committee which is work jug xl3 preliminary plans for ar international force to keep tht peace.
 All these are evidence that adds up all to the good" said one dele gation official, who withheld use o1 his name. This man expressed the opinion that the Russiai.s have not been happy in their self-chosen ex- ile from the council
 He termed the dues-payment al- nouncement great news"
 There is still the fact that Mos COW, and Tehran. have not replied to the councils request of last Fri day for clarification of the Iran- ian occupation matter. The dead line is Wednesday.

 lists Gamers

ATHENS, APRIL, 1--An over whelming defeat for Communists and other left wing parties was in dicated today on the basis of un- official returns from yesterdays Parliamentary elections. which paw ed the way for the possible return of King George II to the Greek throne.
 Clashes between Communists and Government forces resulted in 20 deaths, most of which occurred Friday and Saturday. Order pre- vailed in most sections of the coun- try during the actual voting
 Returns showed that the ballot ing was heavy, despite Russian supported Leftist campaign to boy colt the polls in protest against the holding of elections at this time. Left wing elements had de- clined to enter candidates in the election, which was the first in Greece since 1886
 Estimates of the number of per sons participating ranged from 65 to 75 percent of the total elector- ate.
