Mr. Dean Acheson, Secretary of State, de- clared today that India was the most striking example of the need for urgent and effective action under the Point Four Programme.

In the course of an address to Congress on President Truman's request fer $7,900,000,000 in foreign aid, Mr Acheson said that the Republic of India was at a critical point in its history.

This was attributable, he add- ed, to the discontent of many of the people over the ablect poverty and hopelessness of their lives,

This discontent was being fanned by a constant flow of
