> Mayors: Food Requests Up
> 
> The U.S. Conference of Mayors says America's cities received more pleas
for emergency food and shelter this year and expected to see even
greater need in 1998, suggesting the stronger economy has not helped the
 hungry or homeless. The assessment was based on a survey of hunger and
homelessness in 29 cities, including Boston, Chicago, Miami, New Orleans,
 Phoenix and San Francisco. According to the survey, 86 percent of the
cities reported an increase in food requests and 59 percent had more
requests for emergency shelter.{XIANHUA NEWS AGENCY}
