22 (UP) Great Britains top UN Delegate Hector McNeil accused Soviet Russia today of dividing the world and warned United Nations delegates that the November Big Four meeting in London will be the last hope pf restoring peace. In Britains first major address to the assembly, McNeil denounced Soviet Delegate Andrei Y. Vishlnskys "war mongering charges against the U. S. and Britain as monstrous.

But Britain remained cool to Secretary of State George C. Marshalls proposals for circumventing the Soviet veto in the security council withholding endorsement of the U. S. plan to create a rival permanent assembly committee and dismissing sug gestions for trying to change the veto. McNeil bluntly admitted that we are no longer the same company of nations who fought the war.

He claimed that Soviet insistence upon imposing its will upon the majority will not only destroy the UN but bring the urn able peace crumbling and crash' heads in ing around our Hoover Proposes 4-Point Program To Feed Europe NEW YORK, Sept. 22, UB Former President Herbert Hoover said last night that the world food outlook for the next year was as grim as it was in 1945 Sind he urged Americans to eat less to save Europe from mass starvation. Mr. Hoover said there was a shortage of approximately 28, 000,000 tons of feed grains this year. This, he said, would result in less feed grains for human consumption and less meat for port.

From this their report 1 from connivers who had discovered oil on them. Carey was bom In New York City January 16, 1878, the son of Judge and Ella Carey. One of his biggest movie roles was that of Trader Horn.

That was a picture of wild animals in Africa. But the parts men now grown gray remember most fondly were his characterizations in robust pictures like Hellslman said the total dollar deficit Hinges or Blood on the Range. would have to be underwritten subtracted $3,110,000,000 expected to come as loans from the international bank for reconstruction and development, to meet pay ments for machinery and other capital expenditures. This left 19,330,000,000 as the number of dollars to be supplied. This was figured as including trade deficits with both the United States and other American nations but a conference spoke- Mr.

Hoover and Gen. Joseph T. McNamey, former head of the American military government in Germany, spoke at a rally held in Madison Square Garden, held to provide funds for German relief. Democracy on Trial McNamey warned that democracy was on trial before the world and it may well be that if democracy fails in Germany, we will no longer have democracy here at home. Mr.

Hoover outlined a four point program to feed thg starv mg peoples of the world. First, he urged American farm' ers to give preference to feeding humans, not animals. Farmers, he said, must resist a tendency to feed wheat to animals because of a scarcity of coarse grains. Second, he advocated a voluntary reduction of food consumption and curbs against waste by processors. The third point in his program advocated full cooperation by surplus countries and drastic control of distribution to eliminate the black market in deficit countries.

Finally, he urged that our exports be handled in such a way as to keep prices down and to halt hoarding and speculation. Skips Russian Food Mr. Hoover didnt include Russian production in his estimates of how much food will be available for the coming year. His only reference to Russian harvest was: We hope it is enough to supply the satellite states. 'The mainstay- of the whole hungry world during this past harvest year has been about tons of cereals and about 4,500,000 tons of meats and fats and some sugar, which has been moved overseas, he said.

This 35,000,000 tons of food was the contribution of all the surplus-producing countries in the world to the hungry countries, to which the United States contributed over 18,500,000 tons.

Simple Rites Held for La Guardia New York, Sept. 22, (UP) A funeral service as simple as his life was colorful was held at the Protestant Episcopal cathedral of St. John the Divine today for Fiorello H. La Guardia, the fighting Little Flower" who was New Yorks mayor three times.

There was no formal eulogy at the service but the crowds that thronged the huge vaulted edifice and the streets outside were tribute enough for the peppery little son of an Italian immigrant who became one of the most dynamic figures on the American political scene. City, state and national dig liltaries, and the little folk lor whom he loved to fight and who affectionately dubbed him Butch filled the cathedral where La Guardias body was brought Saturday after his death from cancer. Police Honor Guard The casket bearing the body of the former mayor was carried from the cathedral and placed in a hearse as a police honor guard of two inspectors, two captains, four lieutenants, eight sergeants and 126 patrolmen stood at salute. Under threatening skies, the funeral cortege, preceded by 20 motorcycle police, wound its way thru crowd-lined Manhat tan streets to Woodlawn cemetery in the Bronx. La Guardias body lay in state all dqy yesterday in the cathedral far uptown from the teeming East Side tenement district where he was bom nearly 65 years ago.

Police estimated that 50,000 people came yesterday to pay their last respects. FLORIDAS CITRUS SUFFERS HEAVILY WASHINGTON, Sept. 22 CD The agriculture department estimated today that last weeks hurricane caused the loss of between five and seven million boxes of citrus fruit in Florida. It figured the loss at between four and five million boxes of grapefruit and one to two million boxes of oranges. Florida last year produced about 30,000,000 boxes of grapefruit and about 53,000,000 boxes of oranges.

The department said the storm also caused heavy losses to vegetable crops in Florida. Losses included 300,000 to 400,000 acres of snan beans and 2.500 acres of tomatoes. Eggplant, pepper and cucumber crops were also hard hit, the department said. President Given Data On Situation Here And in Europe 1 WASHINGTON. Sept 22 (D-Presldent Truman got a report on the food situation at home and abroad and recommendations on what America should do about It from a cabinet food committee today -but no action was In sight tor days.

-Secretary of Agriculture Ander-con said a special session of Congress was not even discussed when the food committee saw Mr. Truman. But that did not rule out the possibility that Secretary of State had talked over in a separate conference with Mr. Truman the advisability of calling Congress back ahead of time. Or that It was discussed at a cabinet luncheon.

Both Marshall and Anderson are on the food committee along with Secretary of Commerce Harrlman. After a White House meeting at which various departmental under secretaries sat in, Anderson told reporters: Comment Due Soon A report has been handed to the President on the food situation generally and there has been a discussion with him, as well as on certain recommendations. He naturally, will take that report and study It and we expect there will be comment on it some time In three or four days." To a question whether "voluntary rationing" was discussed, Anderson said he didnt think it Is proper lor us to get into that But both he and John R. Steelman, a presidential assistant, agreed a special session was not considered. Secretary of the Army Royall, who sat in on the session apparently because of his Interest In feeding occupied areas abroad, told questioning reporters: You know I never talk.

Anderson did not go into details of what'was in the report or the recommendations on it He said the recommendations were made verbally and are not part of the report. The members of the food committee agreed on their recommendations at a forenoon conference at the agriculture department. After that conference, Marshall reporters he was satisfied with the results. Cut Grain Exports Because of this year's short corn crop, Anderson indicated Saturday that he would recommend-that grain exports this Crop year be cut substantially below last years 575,000,000 bush Whichever 'way they go, the policy decisions to be reached now or after additional study will affect the American pocket-book and the stomachs of hungry Europeans. Linked tightly to the issue of high prices at home, these are the biggest questions at the moment: How soon and how much will the United States havo to help Europe? Will Congress have to be summoned to a hurry-up session to approve additional aid? But as the President and secretary of state searched for the right answers, other intemattonal problems competed for a share of their attention: United Nations general as-sembly session In New York and the spectacular airing there of Soviet-American differences; conditions in China, Korea, Italy, France, Britain, Trieste, Greece and elsewhere.

Some of these have changed materially since Mr. Truman and Marshall last saw one another last month. Grain Prices Up Again as Butter, Eggs Decline By ASSOCIATED PRESS A threat of frost and wheat buying by millers reversed the protracted slump In grain prices at the Chicago board of trade today, but wholesale butter and egg prices continued their downward trend. Livestock prices, which also moved lower last week, were mixed at Chicago and other markets. -The exchanges and wholesale commodities price levels, which moved generally lower last week, were watched for an indication of whether a turning point in the record high cost of living had been reached.

Mrs. Helen S. Cohen, chairman of the Flatbush (Brooklyn) consumers-and Tenants council, told a Joint congressional subcommittee in New York that "Americans are not eating because speculators in the basic food markets are making millions The subcommittee is investigating high living costs. Wholesale butter dropped as much as two cents a pound in New York and two and a half cents at Chicago. Wholesale eggs were unchanged to two cents a dozen lower in Chicago and down to as much as four cents on top grades in New York.

shortage of a half million homes. If the controls were removed at this time and as many as one out of ten landlords acted oppressively, it would create untold hardship on the people of our state and particularly our returning The governor said he only recently received a report from the state real estate commissioner disclosing that since there is no longer a control of rentals on homes not previously rented, owners of new units are establishing new rent levels. Cites Example "Two bedroom homes, Warren said, which under federal rent control would have had a ceiling of $50 to $60 per month are now offered at $100 to $125 per month, with plenty of renters available. What such a rent increase would do to -our young veterans who have no place to which they can move, is obvious. It would impoverish them.

It therefore seems clear to me that until avilable houses for rent balance the need for such houses, we must have some form of rent control The governor also told the Leg ionnalres the state has purchased 7,500 homes for World War II veterans, but that 90,000 have established eligibility for aid under the state farm and home purchase act Bottleneck pity is that we have not been able to obtain homes for all of them before this, Warren continued. "We have the money, we have the staff to administer the program, we have the earnest desire to see every veteran in his own home, bpthere are factors beyond our control particularly inflationary prices and the shortage of materials. When these bottlenecks are broken nationally, our farm and home purchase program will come into its own and we will leave no stone unturned to see that every California veteran who desires a home shall have one. Warren told the convention that altho the 6hooting In World War II had ended two years ago, we are actually once again living In a divided world world in which conflicting ideologies are still being put to the test a world from which the thought of war Is far from being erased." He declared democracy Is "on trial today and that it is only by fervent participation in governmental affairs, locally, statewide and nationwide, that we can as a nation bompete successfully in our public relations with the world. Pilotless Plane Crosses Atlantic WASHINGTON, Sept 22 (D The United States air force announced that a four-engined C-54 Skymaster plane today completed the first Transatlantic flight In history without a pilot at the controls.

The transport took off from Stephensville, Newfoundland, at 5 p. m. (Eastern Standard time) yesterday and ten hours and 15 minutes later landed at Brise Norton, 40 miles west of London. "hideous war. Last Peace Hope Accusing the Soviets of thwart-and frustrating U.

S. and British efforts to restore peace, McNeil solemnly predicted: "The November meeting of the council of foreign ministers (scheduled for London) seems almost the last hope of securing any agreement on Europe. He was bitterly critical of Vishinskyg proposal to apply criminal punishment of war mongers a proposal which would impose rigid government control over the press. He deplored statements by Americans that Russia was preparing for war and was a wanqonger. But the reply, he admonished Vishinsky, "is not to imprison any individual or to suppress American or British newspapers.

The reply is to open the doors of Russia so that (other) nations can see what is going on. McNeils long, detailed address was among the closing arguments in the general debate which has witnessed serious Soviet charges against the West and replies of liar" from the Western states. The assembly hopes to complete preliminaries tomorrow and get down to committee work Wednesday. Big Five Code Referring to Marshalls twin proposals to limit the big power veto and set up a watchdog assembly committee on security yhich could bypass the security council, McNeil said his government, in view of past failures to deal with these problems, was "not sanguine about the possibilities of reaching fresh agreements unless the Big Five first agree upon a basic code of conduct. My government had no foreknowledge of the (American) proposals and we have not been consulted in its formulation, he said.

He admitted the need for expanding UN facilities for crystallizing public opinion in view of the prospect that arbitrary use of the veto" by Russia will continue. But he cautioned the U. S. that there must be no question of contravening the charter. The Russians claim the U.

S. plan would grossly violate the charter. McNeil referred to Polands appeal for the returns of wartime big power unity as either nostalgic nonsense or dangerous dishonesty." "We are no longer the same company of nations who fought, he conceded. We cannot pretend that a normal world exists Even If we were the same company the nature of our task is different. Most of his address was a point by point rebuttal of many of Visb inskys charges.

This surplus, if it became available, might reduce the United States qutlay to $16,520,000,000, the figure men tioned in Paris for several days, before todays publication of the report, as the amount the United States actually would be asked ta supply. New Hurricane Moving Toward Florida Coast By UNITED PRESS The arrival of autumn brought heavy frosts to the northern half of the mid-west today, as a new tropical storm moved toward Florida. w- A mass of cool air blew the nation, sending Midwestern temperatures down toward the freezing mark or below, and it was expected to move into thq Eastern states late Floridans busy cleaning up from last weeks hurricane were warned that strong gales swirling about a new storm were moving northward with squalls ranging from 50 to 60 miles an hour.
