Mr John Haggerty. Director of the Department's Office of Foreign Agriculture Relations, said that the situation is even more acute in some food deficit areas because of the lack of sufficient purchasing power to buy food from the world's surplus areas.

United Nations, Dec. 16.
The United Nations Secretary-General, Mr Trygte Llt, served notice today that he would con- tinue his house-cleaning or Communist suspects, but that no government had the right to order him to dismiss anyone.
