BEST CROP YEAR SINCE WAR
But Food Supplies Will Remain Short
Washington, Nov. 4.--The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation, in a comprehensive survey of the world food situation and outlook, con- cluded that the 1947-48 crop year was the "best since the war" and "the general outlook is for restoration by 1950 of something like pre-war food consumption in most of Europe and the Far East."
At the same time, the report warned that there was "Ittle room for complacency" because "millions of people are still hungry, the world population is increasing more

The report added: "The memor- able fact is the world is stil pro- ducing less food and less obres and only slightly more forest products than before the war" and therefore the "main conclusion of the survey is nations are not doing and plan- ning enough to cope with the world's longterm needs."
The FAO report pointed out. however, that the world "possesses enough technical knowledge to re- verze the trend and bring about a substantial, even dramatle increase, in production". "The problem in to organise that knowledge and apply it where and as needed."

Nine People Killed In Car Crash
UN Orders Withdrawal From Negev Area
SANCTIONS THREAT INCLUDED IN ANGLO-CHINESE RESOLUTION
Paris, Nov. 4-The Security Council tonight adopted a resolution calling on the Egyptians and the Israeli authorities to restore the truce in the Negev area of Southern Palestine. The voting was nine to one, with one abstention.
Although Soviet Russia earlier had announced that the resolution containing the cease fire call was "entire- ly unacceptable," the Soviet delegate abstained in the vote and thus did not veto it. The Ukrainian delegate gave the single contrary vote.
