Rome, Dec. 11..

The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (F.A.O.) today called for selective expansion of agricultural output to feed the world's hungry and warned countries holding sur- plus stocks against dumping, which would put the world production and trade out of gear.

These were the policy highlights adopted by the conference of the 71-nation body, which ended today after a three-week session at F.A.0. Head- quarters here, attended by 500 delegates.

The conference found that food output was now about 23 per cent larger than before the war and for the first time had caught up with the growth of the world population. But progress in different regions. has been very uneven.
