H, LaGuardia announced this week after cable ad- vices from Rome. "UNRRA's first job of providing emergency relief for large sections of Italy's people is now being broadened to include a general pub- lic health program and the rehabili- tation of Italy's pharmaceutical in- " dustry," said Mr, LaGuardia. Several general distributions of medical supplies have already been made. Mr, LaGuardia cited the May distribution of 600 tons of medical supplies costing about $700,000, and the April distribution of 47,600,000 units of insulin, 10,000 vitals of liver extract and 25 tons of anesthetic ether. During the two months 150 tons of absorbent cotton and 66 tons of soap were delivered for provincial hospitals. "Recent reports are that vitamins ahd cod liver ofl are still scarce," added Mr. LaGuardia, "While all of these figures look large, let us have no illusions. The need is so great that it would be unfair to say that the situation has been met."

NATIVES OPPOSE FORMER STANDARD Would Retain Wartime Wages in New Guinea By JACK HOLDSWORTH Canadian Press Correspondent Sydney, Australia, July 25.-- (OP)--An economic and social re- volution is in progress in the Aus- tralian mandated territory of New Guinea, north of Australia, where Aus , Americans and Japan- ese waged some of the most bitter struggles of the Pacific war. It amounts to a struggle between the handful of white administrat- ors, planters and traders trying to restore pre-war standards and 1,- 000,000 unorganized natives trying to retain the comparative luxury standards they had during the war when working for the armed forces. The natives were paid about $6,~ 000,000 during the war in wages and compensation money, They now are sitting back on this money and re- sisting calls for labor unless offered wages, Before the war, they were paid $1.25 a month, But, during the war, they were paid up to $2.50 a month, and want. this rate continued. Some of the natives have gone ev- en further and are demanding as much as $3.60 to $10.80 a day for contract and casual work. clination to get back to their war diet of sweet, potatoes. Before the war they were issued with lap-laps, a wrap-round skirt, costing about five cents, During the war the Australian Army provided them with lap-laps of gooa English cloth costing up tv one dollar, They now have the taste for good quality fcloth and will not easily change back to the cheap pre-war quality. On top of this, the war gave them a taste for European clothes. which they will not readily give up. They also gained an exaggerated sense of money values which ad- ministrators are finding hard to break, American and Australian soldiers would 'often pay them up to one dollar each fop a tropical fruit, for which they wére lucky to get one cent before the war, HEALTHY COMPETITION "As new facts, processes and materials are brought forth by man, they, in turn, create new activity in many 'other fields.
