Washington, Jan. 16.
The United States Ambassador to India, Mr Ches- ter Bowles, suggested to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee today a four-year $1,000 million programme of economic aid to India, but Chairman Tom Commally promptly snapped, "I'm against it.”
Mr Bowles stressed that the proposal was his own idea and not an Administration proposition.
Half the money would be a loan and half a gift to India, said Mr Bowles, who reviewed the Indian situation in a closed session with the Committee.
"I'm against another $1,000 million being dumped into India," said Mr Connelly.
"We've got some people here at home paying heavy taxes,"

Democrat, said.

TRUMAN'S WARNING
Washington, Jan, 16. President Truman in his no- nual economic report to Con- gress today warned the United States that it is due for a sharp drop in the supply of metal- using consumer goods during
the coming calendar year.
The President said: "A reduc- tion of more than 20

A Unique Honour For Churchill
Washington, Jun. 16. Prime Minister Winston Churchill, staunch champion of the British Empire, was invested today as hereditary. member of the Society of Cincinnati, whose members are descended from officers who fought and won the war of independence against Britain.
Mr Churchill was eligible for membership because he is the great, great-grandson and eldest male descendant 'of Reuben Murray of Connecticut. He is related to Murray through his American
Jennie mother,
Jerome.
The British Prime Minister said
he deeply valued his mem→ bership
in the Society and would frame
his membership dertificate for his own descen-
darts.
He said, "As history unfolds ftself
