...took aside European heads one by one to emphasize his plight. Nowhere did the message get through more clearly than in Germany, where a national campaign to deliver food assistance is being directed by the government and private organizations. Last week more than 100,000 food parcels -- each containing enough coffee, sugar, rice, powdered milk, cheese and canned meat to feed one person for two weeks -- were shipped to the Soviet Union.
