World Bank Chief Sees Long-Term Growth Despite Short-Term Slowdown
Eugene R. Black, head of the World Bank, told the UN Economic and Social Council he is not pessimistic about the world economy. He noted a near-term slowdown in North America but stressed long-run momentum in underdeveloped countries and the need for intelligent planning, thrift, and continued international aid and investment. Black cited a peak year for loans and predicted the bank may exceed 650 million dollars in the year ending June 31.

Poland Faces Flood Threat Across Northern Villages
Urgent warnings issued to hundreds of Polish villages to prepare for evacuations as the country faces its worst floods of the century. Thousands of acres, three towns, and nearly 100 villages were submerged in north and northeast Poland with the Bug, Vistula, and Narew rivers overflowing. No deaths reported yet, but antiflood committees fear hundreds of peasants who initially refused to leave. Army units moved to relieve 20,000 people marooned in Ostroleka, with 80 more towns at risk.
