ll. S. Breaks ' World-Wide , Match Monopoly:

WASHINGTO , April 9—(APl_ The United States Governmentl asserted today it has broken up a world-wide match monopoly and cleared the way for Americani manufacture of an “everlasting. match."

Attorney General Tom Clark said these results were obtained‘ through the issuance by a New] York lfiederal Court of a consent, decree ending ‘a civil suit filed lni I944 by the ustlce Department‘

' against the largest match OTOIIUC-l

era of the United Sweden.

Mr. Clark said iri a statement that the decree dissolved a “world- wide match cartel" which the Government charged was formed to control the manufacture and dintributlon of matches. Wendell Berge, head of the Justice Deport- ment's anti-trust division, said lt also required the issuance o-f roy- ally-free licences to any persons desiring to produce the so-callcd "everlasting match." Mr. Barge,- described this as a match which may be struck several thousand times before it is consumed and said it was succesfullv produced in blolland and Switzerland in the

States and

Crave Crisis FaoosComblned Food Board

(By Clyde Blackburn)

ABIHNUIDN, April 9-—(CP)— A gravely important meetin o! the combined food board wil be held here tomorrow with Fiorello H. La Guardia, new director gen- eral of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administra- tion, Present to make a desperate appea for increased efforts to avert world starvation,

Canada will be represented by Ambassador L B. Pearson unless if is possible for Agriculture Min- ister Gardiner, ihe Dominlon's titular member, to be present.

The plight of millions in India, China and various parts of Eur- ope, faced by imminent starvation unless there is a sham increase in the April exports of bread cer- eals, "cannot be exaggerated," an official said here today.

Evcli with the utmost that can be done immediately in the way of‘ gelling cereals on ships for the needy areas,_it has been forecast that there will be wholesale star- vation deaths,

Mr, La Guardla has taken the stand that the situation can be saved if consumption in the sup- plying countries, particularly the United States, is halved.

_ The ble sources for increas- ing available supplies for the star- vation areas are:

l. Diversion of shipments going to countries which already have stores sufficient for a month or ITICTQ,

2. Contributions from the re- cciving countries whose stocks in stores are sufficient to permit sharing to meet the immediate emergency.

3. Increasing the exports from the supplying countries (Cur-lads. the United States, Argentine and Australia) by voluntary self sac- rifice such as ls already being o."- ganlzerl.

4. Finding and getting to mar- ket the stocks allegedly being held In farm storage here and else-

where.

All the Combined Food Board can do is recommend the most efficient methods of allotfing avail- able supplies and the fear is that ln doing so the Board will essentially have to ration starvation deaths, unless bv some superhuman effort, enough food is made available to go around.
