Millions Still Hungry
Despite Record Crops
Says FAC Food Report

WASHINGTON (LPA) - The
1947-48 crop year was the best
since the war but millions are
still hungry. This is the picture
which is presented in survey
of food conditions and prospects
presented to the Food and Agri-
cultural Organization meeting
here.
Why? Because world popula-
ton is increasing more rapidly
than production; because soil
e erosion impoverishes many
lands; because forest resources
are being depleted; because low
income countries lack money for
investment projects; and be-
cause there is a growing concern
in technically advanced countries
as to whether markets can be
found for the surplus goods
which they are able to produce.
The hope seems to lie, accord
ing to the survey, in the fact that
the world possesses enough tech
nical knowledge to reverse the
trend, thus bringing about a sub
stantial increase in production.
According to FAC Director-Gen-
eral N. E. Dodd, in his forward
to the survey, "The difficulties
which stand in the way of real
ly rapid expansion of produc-
ton should be examined more
energetically by governments,
and decisions should be taken
which will enlarge the programs
and facilitate their speedier ex-
ecution." What is now needed he
said, "is practical action"

who hit the election nail on the

On October 27, Kroll held
press conference in his Washing

his predictions said Truman
would win and the Democrats
were "cinch" to take the Sen
ate and House.
The reporters chuckled. 1t was
such a big joke. Then they asked
Kroll what he thought of the
polls.
Replied Kroll:
"The polls are cock-eyed."

Folsom Paternity Suit
Reaches Court Today
By the Assoeiofsd Press


CULLMAN, Ala, May 12.-At-
torneys for Gov. James E. Folsom
today hope to- knock out the pa
ternity suit brought against the
newly married Alabama executive
by an attractive red-haired d.
vorcee.
They were prepared to argue be-
fore Circuit Judge J. H. Crow, jr.,
that Mrs. Christine Putnam Johns
tons complaint is legally invalid
and should be thrown out of court.
Mrs. Johnston, 80, former Birm-
ingham hotel employe, charges that
the 6-foot 8-inch Governor is her
common-law husband and the faith
er Of her 2-year-old son, James
Douglas.
Gov. Folsom, married just a week
ago to a pretty State employe, ia
melle Moore, was not expected to
appear in court for today's techni-
cal arguments. Neither was Mrs.
Johnston.
Tooay's hearing was the first
since the paternity suit was filed on
March 2, only five weeks after Gov.
Folsom announced his candidacy
for the Democratic presidential
nomination. The Governor at that
time branded the court action as
politics"
Gov. Folsom has neither admitted
nor denied the charges. He has
cc;ltended simply that Mrs. Johns

that the equity division of circuit

has no jurisdiction over the COM

NEAR CAMP CAMPBELL, KY,
May l1.-Col. Sam Sloan's rough
and-tumble characters in jungle
green are keeping 10000 training
troops on the jump in this area.
That includes $1,000 men of the
Sd Army and 9th Air Force and Col.
Sloan's own enemy" force of 5000
commandos, raiders, fifth column
nists, propagandists, counterfeiters
and saboteurs.
Col. Sloan's aggressor mission in
the maneuver is to keep Uncle
Sans walking, jumping and flying
soldiers from getting too SNUG and
fat about their superiority.
The people who operate with Col.
Sloan are highly mobile and well
camoufaged. No sharpshooter in
reconnaissance or Photographic
planes has yet spotted the command
post tents which blend into Ken
lucky and Tennessee country like
pine and poplar groves or green
pastures.
Newsmen Admitted.
Col Sloan admitted a few news
men into his territory in the hope
he could start them beating their
typewriters and shouting into
microphones on his side. He
figured he could find a few men
to help him spread confusion, espe-
cially in view of the fact that they
had rather large audiences.
The boys with Col. Sloan are max
ing controversies and paper money
so fast that the mobile printing
plant has run out of ink and "en-
craving plates which they stole
from the Treasury Department
Col. Sloan feels that when his
plates wear out he will issue an en-

Col. Sloan's troops are strictly
disciplined. They are acting under
orders "a hours a day and seven
days a week. Some of them belong
to labor unions, of course, but that
is only to battle the boys who pay
their dues and to throw every par

Doubts Reds Will Risk War.
Gen. Clay told questioners he did
not believe the Russians would risk
an explosion by trying to stop the
aerial operation with dangerous
training flights" in the British
American air corridors.
Obviously, he added, in such a
situation "hotheads could cause war
but I don't think it will happen
here"
He said he was sure the American
and British air supply operations
had made real impression" or
the Russians. Our ability to supply
a city of 100000 by air was not in
their estimates" he added. The Rus
slams apparently thought by block
aiding rail and highway traffic they
could force the Western powers
either to pull out of Berlin or, as the
price for lifting the blockade, give
in to Soviet demands concerning
other parts of Germany, such as a
voice in control of the Ruhr.
Gen. Clay said he supposed he
