Feeding India

New York, Jan. 29.

Mrs Eleanor Roosevelt urged in her United Features Syndicate column today that the United States should comply with India's request for 2,000,000 bushels of wheat,

She said, "There is a natural feeling of resentment because India has been holding back in the United Nations in her support of the United States. It would be easy for the Congress, instead of responding generously to this appeal to aid people who are in distress, to say, "You have shown no signs of going along with us-why should we go along with you?'

BRITAIN'S HUGE NEW REARMING PLAN REVEALED

London, Jan. 29.

Britain is to call up 235,000 reservists for 15 days' training with the forces this summer, the Prime Minister, Mr Clement Attlee, announced today. He was giving long-awaited details of the nation's new defence programme to a crowded House of Commons.

Mr Attlee also disclosed that Britain would have quadrupled her output of tanks and aircraft by 1953/54. The total strength of the armed forces by April 1 next would reach 800,000 men instead of the previously estimated figure of 682,000.

The total Defence Budget for the next three years covering all preparations except stockpiling—might be as} much as £4,700 million, Mr Attlee announced.
