Warning By Expert Of Growing Food Shortage In World

Little Rock, Ark., Dec. 16.

The world food supply picture is not only darker than it was before, World War I but is gradually worsening as population gains out-run production in. creases, a top Agriculture Department official reported today.

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.

He discussed the baske economic disequilibrium which, he said, Is tending to grow in the world.

PURGE OF UN. EMPLOYEES TO CONTINUE: LIE

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.

A controversy has been brewing here con- cerning Mr Lie's dismissal policies.

The controversy grew whon ke announced acceptance of the special Jurists

One nation after another, | including France, Britalo, Canada and other ción allies of the United States, expressed concern today about the probe | len.

It was agreed, without the formality of a vote, to put of a full debate as the prelude to possible Assembly action until the second half of the session.

Mr Lle, meanwhile, answered varying degrees of criticism with an impassioned declaration of Independence, making these points:
