Rome Likely To Be FAO Headquarters
Washington, Nov. 27- Rome appeared tonight to be the most likely choice for the permanent headquarters of the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organisa- tion as the delegates to the| fifth annual meeting pre- pared to discuss the issue at tomorrow's plenary session.
Observers estimated the odds in favour of Rome as being fiva to four. A combination of factors -Italy's soft currency, the ab- sence of any need for capital outlay by the FAO for the sc quisition of a site in Rome, and the elly's cultural associations give the ancient capital, it is belleved, n distinct advantage
over all other contenders.
