Met with Pres.’s (1 on 1) of Austria & Yrega Slooci [Sergej Kraicher]. Then 1st session devoted to speeches by each of 22 delegates. I know everyone was waiting for mine—possibly with chip on shoulder. We fooled them—it was well received. Didn’t get lunch til about 3 P.M. & back into session at 5 until 7:30. This session was a free wheeling discussion of food & agriculture. I suggested task forces of agri. experts to visit the hunger countries & recommend new procedures etc. I volunteered to provide such volunteers. Sec. Gen. of U.N. expressed great appreciation. Pleasant dinner at 9 P.M.
