Nobel Prize winners used
the United Nations' World
Food Day to issue an appeal
to the world to turn its at-
tention to a "frightening"
increase in the number of
severely undernourished
people.
Dr. George Wald of the
United States, who won a
Nobel Prize in medicine in
1967, announced the appeal
at a press conference here
last week. Dr. Wald esti-
mated that the number of
severely undernourished
people throughout the

million.
