    Special Cable to THE NEW YORK TIMES
    These conditions are bad, but there is no famine.
    there appears from a British source a big scare story in the American press about famine in the Soviet Union
    In short, conditions are definitely bad in certain sections- the Ukraine, North Caucasus and Lower Volga.
