Two-day forum focuses on world food crisis

Huddleston foresees

By JOHN WINN MILLER

The oil crisis will look like a

lems that Wlll he generated if the

SPEAKING BEFORE the Focus
Forum on the World Food (‘risis.
lluddleston breif'ly outlined the
rapidly developing food crisis‘
history and expressed his views
on how to alleviate it

“Of all of the dramatic experr
iences in the past several years
perhaps the least understandable
and the with the most
universal implications has been
the change in the world food
situation." he said

“The manifestations are many
and of varying degree but the fact
is inescapable there is trouble
in the world food sy stem." Hud
dleston said "The question is
asked again and again whether
we are making our way through a
period of aberations "

years in addition. because of
bad weather. world cereal stocks
are now at the lowest level in 30
years The resulting increase in
food prices has had two extreme-
ly significant results. according
to lltiddleston

“lt reversed a three»decade
trend causing the percent of
iiiilividiial l' S disposable in
comes spent on food to rise." he
said "And it added to the
financial difficulties of the em
erging nations which were al-
ready saddled with higher costs
for energy imports "

These developments have rais-
ed questions about America‘s
ability to feed the world "World
food production must increase 2:3
million tons. or almost three per
cent annually just to keep up
with growth and demand."
lluddleston said "That does not
include the upgrading of millions

in world production have barely
kept up w itli rising demands But
now an ever-increasing demand
production gap is developing.
according to lluddleston 'l‘hird
world nations are being most
severely effected by this gap

“l'iiless food production is
greatly e\'panded in these reg
ions. the developing world may
face an 85 million ton deficn by
1985.” he said “Therefore we
must begin to plan for the food
needs of future generations.”

America's approach to meeting
these deficits is a greatly ex
panded program of food aid. “In
this area the l'nited States has
been the most generous nation in
the world." Huddleston said
“Over the past ‘20 years we have
shipped more than $23 billion
worth of agricultural commodit
ms to needy nations under our
Food For Peace program Since
ttiiifi we have provided over three
quarters of all food assistance to
the developing world

‘Law and order' produces Senate Bill I

A bill has been introduced before
the US. Senate which could have a
substantial negative effect on citi-
zens' civil liberties. It deserves. but
has not received. a lot of publicity.

The bill. known as Senate Bill 1 or
the “Criminal Justice Reform Act of
1975." is a comprehensive review and
revision of federal criminal laws. It is
partly an offspring of the National
Commission on Reform of Criminal
Laws (the Brown Commission. 1966-
71) and much of it was drafted under
Attorneys General Mitchell and
Kleindienst. A similar bill was
originally introduced in 1973 by
Senators John McClellan iD-Ark.t
and Roman Hruska iR-Neb.t Exten-
sive hearings were held in the Senate
Judiciary committee on the original
bill tS. 1-100) in 1973-1974. but it never
came before the Senate for a vote.

At present. a group called the
National Committee Against Repres-
sive Legislation iNCARL) is leading
the opposition to the bill. It is urging
senators to either send the bill back to
committee or vote it down.

Many sections of the bill are almost
worthy of Dick Tracy. They clearly
favor the “law and order" approach
to criminal justice by giving the
government and its law enforcement
agencies the benefit of the doubt
whenever possible. In places it seems
in direct conflict with the Constitu-
tion.

Some of the more questionable
aspects of the bill:

—make it a felony to disclose
classified information to “a person
who is not authorized to receive it."
even if the information was not
lawfully subject to classification at
the time of the offense.

—permit 48 hour “emergency”
wiretaps without court approval.
Also gives law enforcement agencies
incredibly broad grounds for request
ing wiretaps and compels telephone
companies and landlords to cooperate
with government wiretappers.

_prohibit participation in a group
which "incites other persons to
engage in conduct that then or at
some future time would facilitate the
forcible overthrow" of the [TS gov
ernment.

wmake it felony to "incite others to
evade military or alternative civilian
services.”

«provide heavy penalties under a
very broadly defined sabotage law
which sanctions almost any damage
to government propery done “with
intent to impair. interfere with. or

obstruct the ability of the United
States or an associate nation tog,
South Vietnami to prepare for or
engage in war or defense activitiev ‘

treason. espionage. sabotage and
murder,

make a misdemeanor of “pub
licly iiiiitilatiiig. defacing. defiling.
burning or trampling upon" anything
which vaguely resembles the ('5.
flag including pictures i

There are many other sections of
Senate Hill 1 that seem overbroad and
too harsh It is amazing that the
drattei's of this legislation could
justify so many infringements of
individual liberties in the interest of
national security and “law and or-

der ”

The sunny beaches of Florida were just too many
dollars away this spring to join in the annual migration
southward during break, Consequently. the vacation
week was spent lounging in the confines of the family
villa at Shivley. At the end of the day‘s activities one
evening. television viewing was suggested. Everyone
settled down for an evening of entertainment.

The weekly installment of "Police Story" featured
Lloyd Bridges as a cop. Father is a Lloyd Bridges fan.
“Police Story" was agreed upon. and the dial was
appropriately set.

armed with pump shotguns. they dash across the street
and arrive just as the masked robbers are emerging
from the bank. The heroes shout “Police? Stop or drop
dead'.“ The robbers shoot at them!

Every junior G-man worth his Crimestoppers'
Notebook knows what happened next. One of the
robbers got blown in half. After this rather demoraliz—
ing development. the other robber naturally would
surrender. Wrong!

THE OTHER ROBBER flees to the parking lot. Just
as Lloyd Bridges is about to draw a bead on him. the
wily bird ducks down. But Lloyd Bridges outfoxes him?
Lloyd Bridges calls out “Gobblesgobble'.” The villain
stands up and promptly gets sprayed across six late
model cars. “Something I saw in a Sgt. York movie,"
Bridges explains later. “Good shooting," commends
the captain.

Later. Lloyd Bridges bags a child molestor. The

“'l'he time is right to legislate on this

expect these to be the words of a member
of (‘ongress or perhaps a respected
political analyst in the media Neither is
correct. the speaker is all Israeli official in
Jerusalem and the topic is the Arab
boycott of Israel

Jerusalem has directed its lobbyists In
Washington to work for a law that would
declare participation in the boycott illegal
'l‘he Israelis would also like to see
t‘oiigress enact a law requiring foreign

Jewish influence will muster enough

determined

I’ltI‘LSIIHLN'l‘ Hill!) HAS at least paid
lip service to the increased power of the
boycott moyement Iii a speech in Febru
ary Ford described the boycott as “totally
contrary to the American tradition and
repugnant to American principles.” The
above statement is particularly interes»
ting in light of the fact that the United
States has only recently shown any
willingness to liberalize its own nearly
13year-old economic embargo of (Tuba. It
was just in 1973 that this country ceased to

What the Arab boycott and blacklist
amount to is in effect to deny petrodollars
to those banks and companies having
direct dealings with Israel and to financial
institutions owned by Jewish families. The
boycott was never considered much of a

the Arab ascendency to the control of their
oil resources. Since 1973 there has been a
great scramble to attract petrodollars and
recent monetary instability has made
many nations and companies reevaluate
their policies toward Israel.

Some American companies have quietly
disposed of their subsidiaries and con-
tracts iii Israel while others maintain they
will never bow to Arab pressure. Samuel
W. Sax. (‘hairman of the Exchange
National Bank of Chicago has published a
quarter page open letter to the President
commending him for his stand on the
boycott question. Mr. Sax considers the
President's stand to be a moral one and
enthusiastically joins in this position. It
should be noted that Mr. Sax‘s bank is the
only American bank in Israel The letter

appeared in the country‘s most widely
distributed business news daily.

ISRAEL HAS HAD some success in
helping the Congress decide foreign policy.
Israel has been particularly successful in
explaining moral issues to the American
people. After all, we did blindly support
Israel as she increased her territory at the
expense of some of our long-time allies in
three different wars of aggression in the
name of her “national security." .

The combination of crimes known as
Watergate have taught us the perverse
meanings of the terms “national secur-
ity.“ After all. the US. did piously support
Israel as it systematically removed the
Palestinian nation from its homeland. We
did not make a moral issue of acts of

The New York Times/Barton Silverman

aggrandizement that created an entire
nation of refugees. How then can we make
moral judgments about tried and true
means of economic warfare. No war is
moral.

In light of Secretary of State Henry
Kissinger’s failure to obtain the negotiated
peace in the Middle East because Israel
has refused to give up Egyptian territory.
Israel may find its lolbyists having a
difficult time getting their legislation
pased. There have already been hints from
Washington that future aid to Israel may
be in jeopardy if Jerusalem does not adopt
a more conciliatory attitude at the
forthcoming Geneva peace negotiations.

No need for literary field trips through dead post

By Nelson Algren
PATl-LRSON, N. .l.—“'l‘he mere fact
that the younger American literary
generation has come to the schools,
instead of running away from them,"
Prof. Wallace Stegner, of Stanford,
assures us about Creative Writing
Workshops. “is an indi;ation of a
soberer and less coltish spirit."

“Writers in groups are with few
exceptions the most impotent and per-
nicious tribe to infest the planet,"
playwright Ed Bullins says. flatly re-
futing Professor Stegner. “It would be.
healthier for a writer to socialize with
drug addicts than with a claque of
hacks."

If the act of writing, like that of
ministering to the sick, defending
lllsllt‘t‘ or constructing decent housing,
is perfomied to sustain society‘s con»
fidentc in the rightness of its own
rules, Professor Stegner is right. Mr.
lliillins' is wrong If the act of writing
is pcilornicd to sustain the reader‘s

\t't strangely. from “The Starlet
lette "l Ill le 'I'om's Cabin" and

"k'aiyge." through “An American

  

Tragedy," “The Grapes of Wrath" and
“Native Son." the American novel has
consistently challenged our society's
confidence in its sense of justice. Of
those books written in the conforming
attitude of a “soberer and less coltish
spirit," not one has lasted. While not a
single enduring work, from “Moby
Dick" to “Catch-22," but has been
written in alienation from society; and
in denial of the justice of society‘s rules.

It is true that, as Professor Stegner
says, Creative Writers' Wcrkshops of-
fer sanctuary: a sanctuary which is
precisely the means of cutting off the
writer from the real world. Can one
imagine “Life on the. Mississippi" be-
ing conceived in a literary workshop?
Could anyone have developed “Tile
Open Boat" from a field trip through
a classics library?

(,‘rtative Writers' Workshops do not
dcr.vc from the tradition of thallcnge.
iliey derive, rather, from the tradition
of smiling optimism which William
James once summarized as “the smil-
ing side of American life." It was the
\viitcr s duty. Professor James decided.

what might lie within the grasp of a
retarded teen-tiger. was \iolcntly

blasted when Stephen Crane published
“Maggie: A Girl of the Streets.”

The conformist tradition, however,
persisted among those who found
sanctuary in “a soberer and less colt—
ish spirit." Sanctuary, that is. from
the dark, unsmiling side of American
life.

“Are you one of the quiet ones who
should be a writer?" the Famous Writ—
crs School used to ask in all the mag-
;.zines just as if no one had pointed
out that the loudest mou:h and the
most belligerent bore, in any group,
was inevitably the writer. “If you are
reserved in a crowd you may be bot-
tling up a talent that could change
your life. If you‘ve been keeping quiet
about your talent, here‘s a wonderful
chance to do something about it. The
first step is to mail the coupon below
for the Free Writing Aptitude Test.“

Creative Writers‘ Workshops, by

But if the proper study of mankind
is man, it follows that, in order to re

How is one to create something unique
