FLAMING DEATH IN ARMY PLANE CRASH
Moment of death for six Army fliers is caught in this split-second photo made at the instant a P-47
Thunderbolt crashed in a ball of fire at right and just before a B-25 Mitchell bomber, its wings
sheared off, hurtled to the ground. Horrified spectators at an Elmira, N.Y. bond drive air show saw
the planes lock wings and crash. Remarkable photograph was made from a color transparency
taken by a photographer who had his camera posed at just the right instant.

By Douglas Larsen
While the desperate struggle
goes on all over the world to feed
starving millions •this winter, UN-
RRA and the stricken countries
are fighting just as desperately to
grow a big enough crop for next
winter's needs. And far beyond
that, the Farm and Agricultural
Organization is taking shape under
its new Director -General, Sir John
Orr.
Not only did the war cause the
-present food crisis but its damage
to •the world's, agriculture indus-
try will be felt for years. The job
of agricultural rehabilitation is
staggering.
UNRRA has already shipped
more569,000,000 than worth of
tractors, seeds, horses, mules, cows,
and fertilizer into occupied coun-
tries to help agricultural produc-
trtion. Lack of funds has forced it
to give up much of the agricultural
rehabilitation program in lieu of
supplying food directly.
In addition UNRRA experts are
trying to eliminate certain insect
pg which increased, -during the
war and spread disease among cat-
tle and crops. They plan to bring
in chickens to restock almost non-
existant poultry stocks.
England, Australia, Belgium,
France and the other countries not
aided by UNRRA are also strug-
gling to patch up the war damage
to their farming. Most of them re-
port fair progress on long range
planning but aren't too optimistic
about next year's harvest.
Stabilize Prices
Orr startled England in the ear-
ly 'twenties by claiming that a new
kind of starvation was ravaging its
people. It wasn't starvation caus-
ed by hunger. It was caused by
lack of vitamins, He correlated the
high infant mortality rate in Eng-
land with it. He demonstrated an
kinds of other evil effects. He led
the fight in Britain for the better
distribution of vitamins, as well as
bread. This is the essence of his
plan for FAO.
So that the farmer will always
get a fair priee for his crop, Orr
proposes a world wheat pool.
When the market price goes be-
low a certain figure, he says, it
should be bought by an interna-
tional organization and kept in the
pool for distribution when there is
a need for it. He would have the
same operation for the world rice
market.
A Briefly Told
Story of the War
Before the parade of heavy and -
scholarly histories of the recent
world conflicts, starts rolling off
the presses, we should like to pre-
sent a friend's succinct treatment
of the same subject. For all its
brevity and apparent simplicity we
think it's good. And we offer it in
the hope that . it may save you a
good deal of unnecessary reading.
It's just this: "Germany, Italy,
and Japan could not beat the
United States, Great Britain, and
Russia."
