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.”

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.

The Douglas County Court
granted visitation and ordered
Carty to pay $40 per month
child support.
