UNRAA Faces Staggering Task in Effort
to Revive Agriculture in War-Tom Lands
BY DOUGLAS LARSEN
NEA Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON While the
desperate struggle goes on all
over the world to feed starving
millions this winter, UNRRA
and the stricken countries are
fighting just as desperately to
grow a big enough crop for next
winter’s needs. And far beyond
that, the Farm and Agricultural
Organization of the United Na
tions Organization is taking
shape under its new Director-
General, Sir John Orr.
Not only did the war cause
the present food crisis but its
damage to the world’s agricul
ture industry will be felt for
years. The job of agricultural
rehabilitation is staggering.
UNRRA has already shipped
more than $69,000,000 worth of
tractors, seeds, horses, mules,
cows, and fertilizer into occu
pied countries to help agricul
tural production. Lack of funds
has forced it to give up much
of the agricultural rehabilitation
program in lieu of supplying
food directly.
In addition UNRRA experts
are trying to eliminate certain
inse't pests which increased
during the war and spread dis
ease umong cattle and crops.
The. plan \o bring in chickens
to restock almost non - existant
poultry stocks.
England, Australia, Belgium,
France and the other countries
not aided by UNRRA are also
struggling to patch up the war
damage to their farming. Most
of them report fair progress on
long range planning but aren’t
too optimistic about next year’s
harvest.
STABILIZE PRICES
Orr startled England In the
early ’twenties by claiming that
anew kind of starvation was
ranging its people. It wasn’t
starvation caused by lack of vi
tamins. He correlated the high
infant mortality rate in England
with it. He demonstrated all
kinds of other evil effects. He
led the fight in Britain for the
better distribution of vitamins

Seek to Break Bottleneck
in Home Building Program
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7 (JF)
—President Truman was report
ed today to be planning to re
store building materials to a
priorities system in an effort
to break a bottleneck in home
building.
Officials of Government agen
cies familiar with the program
under consideration said it had
been .agreed that there must be
a move quickly to get home con
struction rolling.
These officials, who asked
that their names not be used,
said Mr. Truman might an
nounce some action at his news
conference scheduled for 4 p. m.
(EST) today.
It is known that Reconversion
Director John W. Snyder’s staff
worked late last night to have
the program in shape for an
nouncement at the conference.
The purpose of the plan would
be to make sure materials get
into the hands of contractors
who want to build homes.
“As things stand now,” said
one official, “virtually all mate
rials and construction labor are
going to commercial and indus
trial building projects. We just
are not getting homes built.”
There is a possibility that any
priorities set up may earmark
materials for low and moderate
ly-priced houses only. One top

Furthermore, he Is 18 differ

These confessions were glean
ed from a chat with New York's

breakfast party given by the
Volunteers of America at their
Bowery C< 'munity Center. It
was a bit disillusioning to see so
many Clauses.
Edward Mclntyre, 66-year-old
dean of the Santas, who will
put his V. . 2 A. chimney in front
of Macy’s this season, has been

now for about 14 years. He finds
that long woolen underwear is

Mclntyre said that he did not
want to disillusion any children,

Also in the picture, it was re

veterans wishinc to build homes.
The plan is not to prohibit
commercial and industrial con
struction, but to allow it only in
cases where materials are avail
able after home needs have been
met, officials said.
They added that the home
construction industry has been
one of the chief advocates of re
storing priorities.
“When the war ended,” one
official said, “the home builders
were as eager to ditch controls
as the rest of the construction
industry.
“Now they can’t get materials
and many of them are besieging
the government to do something
about it.”
Wartime materials priorities,
which had channeled lumber
and other supplies to essential
construction, were scrapped
shortly after Japan surrendered.
As was the case during the
war, any new priorities would
be invoked under the Second
W* Powers Act.
Operation of such a program
might be delegated to either the
National Housing Agency or the
Civilian Production Administra
tion, or to both.

went into the professicm last

It is her job she said, to see
that the Santa Clauses start off

Today’s Sermonetto
‘Choose Ye’
By Bee. C, E. Hoover
I am tbe resurrection and
the life: he that bciieveth in
me, though ho woro dead, yet
shall ho live.”—-John 11:25.
Death is separation. When the
experience we know as death
occurs, the spiritual part of the
dying person is separated from
tho body. But there are two oth
er kinds of death described in
tho Bible. One of these is known
as spiritual death and the other
is called second death. All three
of these death are related to the
age long problem of sin.
Physical death needs very lit
tie description. We have stood
with tear-filled eyes as it has
touched those dear to ue. We
have felt a hopelessness as a
loved one passed beyond an un
seen barrier, and we could do
nothing to call him back.
But the other two kinds of
death are less easily seen.
Spiritual death is all about
us. It is because of spiritual
deatK that we have physical
death. Many people who are
alive and physically well are
spiritually dead. These people
are described in the Bible as
“dead in trespasses and sins.'* It
was to provide new life for the
spiritually dead that Jesus
Christ gave His life upon the
cross of Calvary.
So it is that when anyone will
put his trust in Christ, God gives
new life to that person. That is
what the Uible calls being “born
God gives is eternal, and will
never pass away.
The third kind of death des
cribed in the Bible is called “the
second death.” It consists of the
separation of the whole man
from the presence of God for
ever. This kind of death needn’t

4:16-28 in which two women
at warfare over a child which
each claimed came to him for
judgment. When Solomon call
ed for a sword, ordering to
split the child in two, he quick
ly discovered the true mother,
who would rather give up her
babe than have it killed. Also,
in the dream In which Solomon
was asked by the Lord to name
whatever he desired, he asked
above all for “an understand
ing heart.”
Yet despite all his glory, andi
his greatness as the builder of
the Temple, Solomon did not
prove a wise ruler; or he de
parted from his early wisdom
and consecration to holy pur
poses. The proof
found almost imiuediately upon
his death, when tha people came
i Rehoboam, his son, to ask
that their burdens be 'made
lighter. 1 .
People will stand for a great
deal if an air of splenddr is
cast around their labors and sac
rifices, or if a ruler is popular.
But when personal loyalty has
passed, and all that they have
endured becomes apparent, re
alism triumphs over illusions of
grandeur. Moreover a change in
government has always been an
appropriate occasion for com
plaints and hopes of something
better.

Whatever Rehoboam had In
herited from his father, he had
not inherited even a small part
of Solomon’s wisdom. Hb sought
two sorts of counsel from old
er men, of mature judgment, and
from young men, like himaelf.
The older men advised him to
begin his reign auspiciously by
granting the people’s petition

The explanation of these var

cannot meet for himself. God's
answer to man's need is to offer
new life which man can have for
the acceptance. Spiritual life be

while physical life will be made
new with the provision of a
glorious new body in resurrec

applv to those who are willing
to accept God’s provision.
What of the one who does not

Drives on Parked Cars
SEATTLE—<U.R>—Mayor Wil
liam Devin has declared war on
motorists who leave their ve
hicles parked overnight on
downtown streets, and on busy
arterials.
Taking the street cleaning de
partment, which just received an
expensive . street cleaning ma
chine, to task for failure to live
up to the city’s claim to being
the “cleanest city in America"
Devin was advised the cleaning
device could not operate effi

tered with parked cars."
and lightening their burdens.
But he took the advice of the
young men; and he waa alao
particularly nasty about It. He'd
show them who waa king. In
stead of lightening their burdens,
he’d make them a great deal
heavier. “My father made your
yoke heavy, and I will add to
your yoke: my father also chas
tised you with whips, but I will
chastise you with scorpions."
Rehoboam could hardly have
asked more plainly for trouble;
and he got it. Jeroboam, an out
law, who had fled to Egypt In
Solomon's time, returned from
Egypt, led a successful revolt
of 10 tribes, and heneceforth
there were two kingdoms in the
Israel that had been united un
der David and Solomon.
And on that day of division
was the beginning of the down
fall of both kingdoms. .For with
the political disruption began e
moral and spiritual decline as
well. Jeroboam could lead a suc
cessful revolution, but he could
not rul£ his own spirit, or guide
his people wisely. He turned to
ways of idolatry; he did evil in
the sight of God; and he started
the course that ended in the de
struction of the Northern King
dom, when it fell to Assyria in
772 B. C. That Kingdom, called
variously “the Northern King
dom," “Samaria," and th 4
“Kingdom of Israel," was nev
er restored. Its inhabitants were
enslaved and dispersed, and be
came the so-called “lost Ten
Tribes.”
