Agriculture Secretary Orville Freeman, who carried the word to the United Nations' Food and Agricultural Organization in Rome last week, warns that unless recipient countries devote as much effort to increasing agricultural production as they do to prestige-building industrial projects, they could face a cutoff of U.S. food. Otherwise, he says, within 20 years the combined capacity of the U.S. and the Western world will not be sufficient to fill the gap. Said Freeman: "World hunger can be finally solved only in those areas where it is most prevalent." It can be done. In twelve...
...Freeman's message was discreetly but unmistakably beamed at India, which has received the lion's share ($2.6 billion) of Food for Peace commodities, last year took 15% of the entire U.S. wheat crop-and still faces famine (see THE WORLD). Ghana had a ruder awakening. Two days after the State Department lodged a strong protest over a new virulently anti-American book by Ghana's President Kwame Nkrumah, the U.S. declined his government's request for $129 million worth of wheat, rice and dried milk. Faced with ever dwindling reserves and ever increasing demand...
...defense that so far has limited its opponents to 195 yds. per game. Cleveland's Frank Solich may be the smallest fullback (at 5 ft. 8 in. and 158 Ibs.) in major-college football, but he has gained an average of 5.5 yds. per carry. Split End Freeman White, a 6-ft. 5-in. 220-pounder and All-Big Eight in 1964, comes from Detroit...
...labor lacks a new generation of prospective leaders; in the vast majority of major unions, the heir apparent to the incumbent is of the same generation. Examples: International Machinists' President Al Hayes, 65, was succeeded by Vice President Roy Siemiller, 60; the Brotherhood of Electrical Workers' Gordon Freeman, 68, is likely to be followed by Joe Keenan, also 68; waiting in line behind the United Mine Workers' Tony Boyle, 60, is old John L.'s youngest brother, Ray Lewis...
Farmers were asked to vote between a $2-a-bu. support price coupled with strict, mandatory quantitative controls (Cochrane's plan) or no program at all -and, warned Freeman, "$1 wheat." Shuman fired the opening shot at a Farm Bureau convention in Atlanta before the referendum, said that Washington seemed "determined to either rule or ruin American agriculture." Who, he asked, "will run the farms of America? Will it be the farmers or political bureaucrats?" The clincher...
