N ( $ event take se six oward 5 billion, a U.N.-funded port said Saturday. , The study, conducted by the Vorldwatch Institute, con- luded that only “dramatic shifts n population policy” — particu- arly in Third World nations — dll avert famine and severe eco- lomichardship in many parts of he globe. “The issue is not whether lopulation growth will he lowed, but how,” the report aid. “Can it be solved humane- y, through foresight and :adership, or will living stan- ards deteriorate until death rates eventually begin to rise?” The U.N. Fund for Popula tion Activities funded the study with the disclaimer the report did not necessarily reflect its views. The Worldwatch Insti tute is a think tank that focuses on global environmental trends and population issues. The United Nations estimates that the current world popula tion of 4.5 billion will reach 5 billion in just seven years. While the study did not offer a specific number of human beings that would exhaust Earth’s re sources, it forecast an inexorable decline in the amount of food and energy available per person. “In many countries, reducing the birth rate rapidly enough to avoid a decline in living stan dards will require a herculean effort — the constant attention of national political leaders,” wrote the study’s author, Worl dwatch President Lester Brown. The report cited several dis turbing trends pointing to de terioration of the planet’s biolo gical support systems: — “With population pro jected to continue growing to th'e end of the century and beyond, crop land per person will continue to decline and fer tilizer use per person needed even to maintain consumption levels will continue to rise.” — “Since 1973, per capita grain production has shown lit tle improvement, averaging 325 kilograms over the 9-year span.” — The oil output “in several major oil-producing countries has already begun to decline, be cause reserves are dwindling and because producers are trying to stretch out remaining reserves.” — If world oil output declines only 15 percent by 2000, and population increases occur, pro duction will fall to 2.6 barrels per person. “Each person would have only half as much oil as at the peak of the oil age in 1979.” United Press International TOPEKA — The Kansas Sup reme Court Saturday said illegi timacy is no longer a disgrace and upheld a lower court deci sion granting an unwed father visitation rights and ordering him to pay child support. The child’s mother, Kimberly Kelly Martin, had appealed the original decision, contending the child’s father, Vendal Carty, had no authority under Kansas law to sue to establish paternity. The Supreme Court’s ruling said Martin correctly main tained there is no statutory or common-law action in Kansas available to the father of an ille-. gitimate child to have paternity declared by a court. “Such a restriction on the father was acceptable when bas tardy and illegitimacy were con sidered disgraceful, casting adverse reflections on all the concerned parties,” the court said. Carty and Martin met in January 1976 — he was 29 and a soldier at Fort Leavenworth, and she was 17 and a student at the University of Kansas. | f»L-ITT THEATRES The Douglas County Court granted visitation and ordered Carty to pay $40 per month child support.
