ELEVEN experts on malaria recom mended to World Health Organi sation in Geneva, on August 10, that WHO should give top priority to the con trol of malaria in its technical assistance programme for undeveloped countries in malarial belts.

It was suggested that the programme to increase food production by combating diseases should be initiated in the East ern Mediterranean, South-East Asia, the Western Pacific and Latin America be cause those regions were largely unde veloped because of endemic malaria.

Sydney newspapers have given space to the reactions of Mr. Guildford Adams. 24. of Norfolk Island, who arrived recently.

He had never previously seen a train or tram, or ridden on top of a bus. He is a direct descendant of John Adams, of Bounty fame.
