FINAL 3 TEXANS DIE IN STORMS Hoover Urges New World Food Agency (BrThe AMOclnttd WASHINGTON, May Hoover, declaring there is need for drastic reorganization of the world fight on famine, urged todav the creation of a broad international food administration by September 1 to spur food output and guide distribution of supplies. Hoover made this recommendation at the opening session ot a special conference on world food needs and auspices the united Nations food and agriculture organization. The former president said such an should take over the food and agriculture activities of the United Nations Belief and Rehabilitation administration and the British Canadian American combined food board and all others international agencies connected with food and agriculture reconstruction. Hoover said the food administration's purpose to return to normal commerce the food, fertilizer and farm supply business of the world "with nil speed possible." Mutt Quit Charity "Moreover," he said, "the world must ciuit charity as a basis of widespread food distribution. 1 cannot loo strongly emphasize that charitable distribution is hugely wasteful and inefficient." Hoover snid that after Sept.

1 nations should finance their own food purchases by olhej' means than charity. Delay in formation of such an organization until Sept. 1. he added, would give time to check on world food supplies to be available during the 1SM6-47 year. "We can hope," he said, "for some breathing spell from the tensity of the present situation at that time." The proposed food administration would serve only during the period of food scarcity and agriculture reconstruction from war.

Final Food Asserting that the food problem should be directly under auspices ot the United Nations Security council the former president said "the primary purpose ot the United Nations is to give security and peace to the world. "Effective distribution ot food during scarcity nnd the reconstruction ot agriculture, and above all, the reconstruction oC human beings," he said, "is essential to order and peace ot the world. The first voice of war is the guns, but the flnnl voice in making peace is food."

While Britain prepared to hitch in its belt again, the Moscow radio announced that the Soviet rationing system soon will be abolished. It said improved food production would enable a change in food selling methods. The Daily Sketch, conservative tabloid, said America's food sacrifices so far "have not involved a sacrifice on the part of the American consumer at all comparable with ours." Britain has stripped her larder to more than wartime bareness, the Sketch said, but cannot be expected to bear the whole burden alone. The conservative Daily Mail, commenting on Herbert agreement to divert another 200,000 tons of British grain to" foreign needs, said caustically that Britain "is scraping the bottom of the barrel to make good the commitments of America." The Daily Mail suggested that "we might get a square deal" if future Anglo-American food conferences were held in "grey, underfed Britain" instead of the "debilitating atmosphere of Amer- Ships On Good Will Voyage To Norway ABOARD THE U.

The other main reason for the imminent auto'price increase is the higher cost of parts lo car makers. Ceilings Wera Removed Price ceilings on most new aulo parts were removed several monlhs ago. OPA has stated it expected some increase and that it would have had to authorize higher prices if ceilings had been maintained.

An OPA official said the agency had-to make the-car price increases required under the wage-price policy in two stages "because it takes 'longer for the higher costs ot parts 'arrd than it docs wage costs," These Iwo increases for wages on the one hand for parts and materials on Ihe other have blaslcd OPA's 1945 predictions that'new cars would cost the public no more than in 1942.
