Falling Wall Kills Several Hundred

LISBON, Portugal, (P) - The fall of a huge wall was reported today to have killed or injured several hundred persons lined up for a food handout in Praia, capi- tai of the Cape Verde Islands.
 Portuguese colonial offici l s said they had been informed of the disaster by the governor of the islands, Portuguese colony off the northwest African coast.
 There was no official count of the dead. Dispatches from Praia said 3l5 persons, many of them dead, had been dragged from the ruins.
 Eyewitness dispatches said a long file of beggars formed out side the poorhouse shortly before noon yesterday to receive meals supplied by the government since the area was hit by famine.
 Soup was distributed to the beg gars sitting under tiled strip of roof. Hundreds were buried be- meath the 25-foot roof wall when it crumbled along a distance of about 33 yeards.

THE PLAYGROUND COMMISSION CARRIES ON

THE PLAYGROUND COMMISSION CARRIES ON
1T is GRATIFYING to stop at certain intervals and re-
view conditions inland around the island, not only witt the
idea OF going forWAtA in the light of what has been accom-
pished. The work with the Parks and Playground Commission
has moved along satisfactorily, except for an occasional insight
fcant expression of displeasure, which of itself is a healthy
sign expressive of the democratic right to free speech and to
raise objections, even if there is nothing to object about.
N SATISFACTORY accomplishment is that the Parks
and Fairgrounds Commission has found a regular place in the
budget of this island. Another factor very worthy of note is the
presence on the commission of young, alert, aggres-
siye men & a woman, Time was when such a commission was
known only to exist. Today, however, il has stirred itself and is
making itself heard and its influence felt. In the spirit of
growth and assertiveness it is always likely that such a group
will, in its enthusiasm tend to sidestep certain fundamentals,
and attention has to be called to it.
UNFORTUNATELY, because of conditions beyond the
control of the Commission, night basketball games can not be
played in Christiansted Every effort was made to secure wire.
Funds had been depleted on other necessary repairs and main
tenance. The Chairman of the Commission contacted the Pres
ident of the Virgin Islands Company in an effort to secure
wire, and was advised that it might be possible to have some
furnished. In the meantime, anxiety running high, certain
members OF the Commission, convinced of the urgency of the
situation, fastened to incur obligations on the behalf of the
Commission. At this point it became the unfortunate duty Of
the chairman to remind the members that funds were not ade-
quate to meet the cost Of wire, and further, that it was his I'm
Outstanding that the Virgin Islands Company could and
would have been}wiNing to make certain contributions, which
is certainly not beyond what that Company could do. Every
thing is being done to solve the situation, and it should be in
the clear shortly, since an order since then with the. Power
Authority to secure the necessary wire and fixtures and al

tecnnlca1-help IN many of the IN
der-developed regions Of the
world. Examples Of the way in
which FAC is operating include
the following:
Rinderpest cont1ol-Rinderpest
kills approximately a million head
of cattle and water buffalo an
.nuallysin China alone. This huge
animal loss has long been a ma
Jor cause Of famine in the area,
since Chinese farmers are entirely
dependent on this animal and on
the China cow for draft power to
till their ricelands. The virulence
of the disease has been one of the
principal obstacles to the establish
ment of a livestock industry
which, in turn, has had a bad eff
feet on the diet of the people, be-
cause neither milk nor meat is
available to them.
FAC experts are helping the
Chinese Ministry of Agriculture
in developing mass production of
rinderpest vaccine by means of a
new technique worked out during
the war. A full scale vaccination
campaign was started, in which
cattle and water buffalo were i'm
munized against .rinderpest, the
most serious cattle disease in the
Far East.
Infestation control-The worlds
harvests, despite The farmers best
efforts, are not large enough to
stave off hunger in many coun-
tries, And short as the supply is,
not all of it will get to human be-
ings. Rats, insects, and fungi will
consume a large share Of the food
already harvested and stored. 1t
has been estimated that the loss
'of food in the world through these
three, causes alone amounts to
tity sufficient to keep $50, 0OO, 200
people alive for a year.
FAC is undertaking a world
wide program to assist its mem
her governments to reduce losses
of stored grains. An important
technical demonstration on con-
troll methods was recently held
in Italy and, even more recently
in Columbia.
Reforestation = The most import
ant: of all mans basic assets is the
soil. Control of soil erosion and
floods cannot be effected without
reforestation of watersheds. FAC
is promoting reforestation of
stripped areas as well as good
forest management where trees
have not been destroyed.

istry Of Agriculture and Forestry,
