But he said the IDA may be forced to close down by next June 30v unless the wealthy nations pledge enough money to keep it going. The IDA is the so-called "soft loan" arm of the World Bank. While the bank gives international loans at commercial rates, the association specializes in loans to the poorest nations at minimal rates. Last year it loaned $1.357,000,000 to 80 nations about of total World Bank loans. IDA's new three-year period begins next June 30.

At that time, it must have pledges from donor countries totalling $1,500,000,000 per year to give it the "right to commit" money for three 3 ears in advance. McNamara, former secretary of defense in the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, said these pledges are not yet in sight. McNamara named no names, but the United States has given of IDA funds in the past, and wants to trim this to in the future.

Say Millions ta'lM of Starvation Bilb lreni Hil SEATTLE, Wash. (UPI) As many as 50,000,000 persons could starve during the next year in Asian and African nations unless world leaders take steps to end a grain shortage, according to a food expert. Dr.

Roy L. Prosterman Sunday urged President Nixon and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger to become directly involved in solving the problem of a grain shortage. Leading Authority "The world grain crisis, in which millions of human beings face starvation over the next 12 months if something isn't done fast, must be taken out of the hands of narrowly focused bureaucrats and placed into the hands of international statesmen and world leaders," he said. Prosterman is a University of Washington law professor who is regarded as a leading authority on land reform and food problems in developing countries. He said there was broad i ternational agreement on the fact of grain shortages in specific areas, including the drought belt in West Africa, India, In- d'o sia, Pakistan and Bangladesh.

rosterman disagreed with Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz who said wheat available for export will be just about equal to the import demand at prevailing price levels. Makes Charge The 'Catch 22' in that statement is in the four at prevailing price None of these nations by any stretch of reality could meet the prevailing price level of $5 a bushel," he said. terman charged that the Agriculture Department "sabotaged" last week's international meeting on the grain crisis called in Rome by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization.

2 2 9 2 5 A personal division of self-supervision. You will become a decidedly happier individual as you approach each day with a sincere desire master situations and circumstances which usually disturb and irritate you. And you will become even more so if you don't create them yourself --as so many are prone to do. The art of self-mastery doesn't revolve around changing predicaments that frustrate you particularly when it can't be done. It is in changing your own attitudes toward them.

Remember, you can't always have things your own way. If you haven't yet learned this you can, cause yourself and those around you much suffering. This day, start your own personal division of constructive self-supervision. By United Press Inlet-national Today is Tuesday, SepL 25, the 26Sth day of 1973 with 97 to follow. The moon is approaching its new phase.

The morning stars are Mais and Saturn. The evening stars are Mercury, Venus and Jupiter. Those born on this date under the sign of Libra. American author William Faulkner was born Sept 25,1897. On this day in history: In 1513, Spanish explorer Vasco Nunez De Balboa became the first known 'European to see the Pacific Ocean when he crossed the isthmus of Panama.

In 17S9, the first Congress ot the United States adopted 12 amendments to the original Constitution, 10 ot which were ratified and became known as "The Bill of Hights." In 1926 the Motor Co. put ill workers on an eight-hour day, fivc- dav-week schedule for the first time In 1970, the United States warned the Soviet Union against bulldlne a base in Cuba. A thought for the 3ay: i an author William Faulkner said, "I decline to accept the end of man." Tomorrow is Wednesday, Sept. 26, the 2fi9th day of 1973 with 96 to follow: The moon is in its new phase. The morning stars are Mars and Saturn.

The evening stars are Mercury, Venus and Jupiter. Those born on this date are wider the sign of Libra. American composer George Gershwin was horn Sept. 3. 3898.

On this dav in hlstorv: In 1777, British troops occupied Philadelphia- during the American Revolutionary war. In 1950, U.N. troops took Seoul, tht capital of South Korea, from North Korean Communist forces. In 1959, the worst typhoon in Japanese history left 4064 dead. In 1972, the United proposed a new world monetary system to low greater flexibility In exchange rates.

A thought for the day: American clergyman Rclnhold Nlebuht said, "Man 1 capacity for jtntlce maVei democracy powlble but man's Inclination to Injuitlct makei democracy decenary." WASHINGTON President Nixon's personal at- eys, Herbert Kalmbach and Frank De Marco have never billed him for handling his complex real estate transactions, income taxes and other legal problems. The Kalmbach, De Marco law. firm. in. Newport Beach has handled Mr.

Nixon's personal affairs since he moved into the White-House. Kalmbach, for example, personally supervised the purchase and renovation of the San Clemente estate. The complicated fin a i a 1 details were worked out by De Marco, who also prepared the President's income tax returns. Sources close to the President tell us that Kalmbach and De Marco never charged him for their services. They billed him only for out-of-pocket expenses such as the tax accountant's charges, which the President has paid.

The two California at- neys were "proud," said our sources, to serve the President. The same urces denied rumors that the President, in return for free legal services, sent clients tq the law firm. Neither Kalmbach nor a uld reached for comment. FOOTNOTE: President Nixon was able to purchase the $1,400,000 San Clemente estate with a down pa3-ment of less than $100,000 of his own money. Most of the down payment came out of a 000 loan from aerosol king Robert Abplanalp, who later tore up the note in return for title to the land around the presidential retreat.

The interest payments and real estate taxes on the President's California and Florida homes, plus a massive deduction for donating his vice presidential papers to the National Archives, has made it possible for him to avoid the high income taxes with which he otherwise would have been soaked. Because of his low tax, the Internal Revenue Service audited his returns for 1971 and 1972 but a a itional charges. TERROR TRAINING: Sen. James Abourezk, (D- SD), fears the Agency for 1 a ttonal Development may be teaching terror techniques to Latin American and other foreign police for use against their citizens. In a letter to AID public safety head Lauren Goin, Abourezk has discreetly a ed whether "booby ap" construction and similar courses are taught to visiting police officials by the U.S.-sponsored International Police Academy, as was suggested in ie "State of Siege." Abourezk's concern is not just based on movie tales.

One of his aides has loped information from inside AID indicating that a terror school is run by AID at an iso- lated'camp in Texas, and that both the CIA and U.S. Army may be involved. Abourezk has submitted bills to prohibit aid to foreign police and to block financial assistance to lands with political prisoners. GET BATTLE: Congress has largely abdi- a ted its constitutional power over the purse. The committee system simply is inadequate to deal with the mammoth and complicated federal budget.

In order to restore Its fiscal authority, Congress is now considering the creation of a joint committee on the budget. This consolidate the money-authorizing functions into a more wieldy, more powerful unit. The establishment of such a committee, however, would change many traditional power centers on Capitol Hill. This was reflected in a secret meeting of the House Democratic steering committee, which considered the proposal. The Democratic leaders were unable to reach any agreement on the details of the new committee.

But agreement or no a cement, the House rules committee is going ahead with the idea. BE-WARE: John Ware (R-Pa), a no bones about his conflicts of interest. The energetic a i chairman of American Water Works and owns 975,000 shares in the company. He is president of Perm Fuel Gas and chairman of North Penn Gas. He also directs a foundation which a 1 ost 500,000 shares of the water works.

At the same time, he is a ranking member of the se commerce committee whose work touches every one of these enterprises. Ware, at least, is no hypocrite. His interests are laid out in company prospectuses and are even indicated in the Congressional Directory. Ware told us he thinks he can don the twin hats of legislator and legislated by not voting on bills directly affecting his companies. by United Feature Syndicate Inc.
