NEW YORK. Private agencies for foreign relief ore prepared to increase their programs as a result of the announcement from Gen- , eva that Fiorello LaGuardia, di Vector of the United Nations Relief mid Rehabilitation administration, had recommended the liquidation of UNRRA beginning October 1, the j Ne v York Times reports. An agency co-ordinating with. UNliRA, the emergency food col lection, which conducted a drive since last spring to supplement UNRRA's food supplies, announced that its main New York head quarters at 100 Maiden Lane would close although shipments abroad would continue under UN'RRA di rection. Friends Expand Program. ' The American Friends service committee was the first private or ganization to announce an acceler ated program when Clarence E. Pickett, executive secretary, re ported a revision of its planned bud get for civilian relief in Austria. The appropriation of $400,000 for this task will be increased to $000,000, Mr. Pickett explained, "because of critical conditions in Austria plus the fact that UNRRA will be dis continued and the army has no al location for the relief of civilians in Austria." With its budget for relief operation, primarily food, in 13 countries in Europe and Asia for this year estimated at $3,500,000 to $4,000,000, it was indicated that the committee's revision on the Aus trian allocation would be followed by raised budgets for other coun tries. Other major relief agencies echoed the Friends organization's assertion that private agencies face "increased responsibilities" when UNRRA ceases to function. The American joint distribution committee found that "the with drawal of UNRRA from the Euro pean scene without any provision made for carrying on its food and other relief functions would have a rlcoctin rfTr"t n ti fh .TFlP nrnffMTTl u.BJv uv. - Asserting that in 17 countries of Europe today, 500,000 Jews receive r some of their food from JDC. while "additional thousands of Jews in the Far East, North Africa and the Middle East also receive food aid," JDC announced that it had ap propriated $25,088,750 for this work during the first six months of 1946. Ship to Many Faints. Vith operations conducted in 44 countries of Europe and Asia, the 'Rev. Edward E. Swanstrom, assist- am executive director or e war relief services of the National Catholic welfare conference, re leased statistics indicating the scope of its current program. With 250,000 pounds of whole wheat flour allocated to North Africa, Father Swanstrom outlined a program en. compassing Germany, India and the Philippines. Nine shipments during the last six months, distributed in ing the year. Yugoslavia, Selgium, the Nether- lands and Austria are among coun- tries to which the Catholic welfare conference has sent shipments dur ing the last six months.

Mike the Raven No Night Owl, He Loses His Way CHICAGO. Citizens here have been somewhat disconcerted by Mike, the raven who can't find his way home. Walter Nelson, who brought the bird to the city from his hunting lodge in Wisconsin, says that Mike is all right in the daytime, but at night to him one lighted window is just like another. He flies to the nearest one and begins tapping with his beak on the glass. Many a householder hath taken one startled look and quoth to him self, "Nevermore."

Her aid-Journal, SeeInfected Teeth i-i. - ri-i: luaieway lur runu Slipsj Into Nervous System Through Cavities. CHICAGO. Two research men marshcilled evidence here to show that tbe treacherous polio virus was slipping into the nervous system throu gh dental cavities. Dr. Allans H. Reese and Dr. John G. Fcisch of Madison, Wis., said the rich network of nerves feeding infect led teeth offered an unguard ed g lieway to the spinal cord and brain. Th ar findings, part of a nation wide attack on 'he crippling foe, are reported in the Dental Digest. As supporting data, they demon strated that Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin cities using fluorine in their water supplies had less polio than other cities in the same state. Fluorine has been hailed as a foe of tooth decay. At the University of Wisconsin, the research men studied 36 infan tile paralysis patients. Of these, 24, or 66 per cent, had infected teeth. Of 147 non-polio persons exam ined in the same age group, only 39, or 26.5 per cent, had infected teeth. This is their theory on how the virus invasion works: The food, contaminated by insects carrying the virus, is forced into the tooth cavities under pressure of chewing. The virus is driven into the dental tubules, into the pulp, and then speeded by nerve highways to maiming missions. In Illinois, the researchers found that of 63 communities adding fluo rine to the water, only one person in every 1,992 came down with polio from 1941 through 1945. Of non-fluoride communities, the average was one in each 1,546 per sons. "The findings in these two groups of Illinois communities showed that the incidence of poliomyelitis was 22.4 per cent less in high-fluoride communities," they reported. Thief 'Operates' While Three Doctors Watch LITCHFIELD, ILL. Because they were unable to distinguish between a thief and a doctor, three local surgeons were short $500. The surgeons, Dr. Harold Sih ler, Dr. Robert Robillot, both of Litchfield, and Dr. J. J. Gran done of Gillespie, were working in the operating room at St. Francis hospital. A man with a professional medical air hurried through. He nodded to the doctors. The doc tors looked up and nodded back. When they retired to an ante room they discovered their wal lets had been looted. United States Mint Is Behind on War Medals WASHINGTON. The nation's beribboned, bemedaled fighting men of World War II have a lot more medals still to come, and it will be several years before the last one is handed out. Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross, director of the mint, said that the mint, which worked feverishly during the war to turn out medals, now has far more orders than ever before. It will take a year or two to fill present orders for 8,500,000 medals, and more large orders are expected, she said. Overseas Radio Silenced Three Days by Sun Spot NEW YORK. International ra dio communication was snarled for three consecutive days by atmos pheric conditions resulting from a sun spot "curtain." Press Wireless, Inc., Mackay Ra dio, and RCA reported a "total blackout" on communicaitons with Europe. But Press Wireless and Mackay said the sun spot caused only "very slight" interference on their circuit to South America. The sun spot treated residents of many parts of the country to a bril liant display of Northern Lights. Hero of World War Wins Battle of the Subway NEW YORK. Aldo P. MacCagle. 26, was one of seven men ordered to bail out by Colin Kelly during the mission on which his famous dive on the battleship Haruna took place.

Australians Required By Law To Cast Vote SYDNEY, Australia Australians, ;r.en and women altke, are obllge-d by law to participate in elections.

There' A Reason More Haywood Trucks Travel on our Mew and Recapped Tires Than on ill Others Combined There 's a Reason Sims Phone 486 Experts Say World Lacks Food Source WASHINGTON There are just too many people in the world. j That's what the population ex-, perts tell you. ! Overpopulation they say is a root problem of the United Nations in; their quest for freedom from want and from v;;r. Overpopulation, they insist, is a basic cause 01 want, which is an inevitable breed er of war. Guy Irving Burch, director of the population reierence uureau, j pn ate research organization, says' freeing the peoples of the world1 from want, fear and war is mainly; a job of establishing a balance be tween the number of people and the natural resources and technical developments of the world. Bureh points out that natural re sources, particularly food, are much more essential than technical de velopments. "War-bent Germany and Italy freely admitted that they had more people than they could prosperous ly support on their own resources," Burch said in an interview, "and' Japan took the same position." I Too Many People He believes It will be impossible to attain a balance between num bers of people and natural re- j sources unless population is limn ed. He cites the statement of Dr. Hugh H. Bennett, chief of the U. S. Soil Conservation Service, that if I he food of the world could be dis Iributed evenly, it might provide an adequate diet for about 1,600, 000,000 people. Burch points out that that is 000,000,000 fewer people than the present population. He says that even with a world program of pop uialion Control, the inhabitants of Ihe earth can hardly increase less than 550,000,000 during the com ing half century. In the 90 years from 1850 to 1940 Ihe population of the world doubled. It increased from about 1,100,000,000 to 2,200,000,000. The population of the new world areas of North and South America and Oceania more than quadrupled, from about 61 million to some :!80 million. Europe's population more than doubled, increasing from 2li(i mililon to 550 million. FORECAST We'll never have a woman Presi dent, according lo Barnacle Bill.
