INDIA—KEY TO ASIA
The American Ambassador to India, Chester
Bowles, reports that within the next four years history
in Asia will reach a turning point and that it may be
a turning point for the entire world.
India has undertaken tremendous economic goals,
which are scheduled for completion—if the program
works—in 1956. The country is poverty-stricken and it
is questionable whether the government — without
large-scale American aid—can meet these economic
goals. As soon as this thought is reflected, Americans
immediately respond that this country cannot afford
to undertake any large-scale aid to any other section
of the world, having more on its hands now than the
taxpayers can afford. '
There are certainly many arguments against large
scale aid to India, but the American Ambassador there
believes such aid is the only way India will come
close to meeting its goal. He points out that the present
Indian Government is a democratic government and
that, whether or not we like Prime Minister Nehru,
he is an energetic, vigorous and democratic leader.
Eisenhower Gets
69 Per Cent of
Massachusetts Vote
The presidential panorama
Thursday:
Some Republicans disputed the
meaning of the Massachusetts
vote, some Democrats talked of a
“draft** and most nomination
seekers got set for a television
show.
Near - complete returns show
Eisenhower got 69 per cent of the
Republican vote in the popularity
poll, and 27 of the 28 nominating
convention delegate posts at stake.
Thus, with 604' votes needed to
nominate, the Associated Press
compilation shows: Taft 274, Ei
senhower 270. Taft forces claim
more than 300.
In Washington, Sen. Saltenstall
(R-Mass) an Eisenhower partisan,
called the primary a “great
groundswell.” He said the general
would get at least 34 of Massa
chusetts’ total of 38 delegates.
A Taft man, Senator Young of
North Dakota brushed this aside.
Voting in the west and midwest,
he said, will tell a different and
“more favorable” (to Taft) story.
Taft attributed the outcome to
| Democrats who voted as “Repub
! licans for one day only.”
Democratic leaders, meanwhile,
talked of a new movement to draft
Gov. Stevenson of Illinois for the
nomination.
Stevenson, in Oregon Thursday,
was still trying to convince the
skeptical that he is not a candi
date.
In Cincinnati Thursday night,
most candidates for presidential
nomination go before ABC tele
vision cameras in a nation-wide
program sponsored by the League
of Women Voters.

sume command of the Army in
Alaska. Gen. Miley, former direc
tor of the joint airborne troop
board, succeeds Maj. Gen. J. W.
Cunningham who has returned to
the States
Gen. Miley is noted for his ag
gressiveness and his knowledge of
airborne tactics. His background
should prove valuable in Alaska
where the airplane is often the
sole means of transportation.

West Point in 1919 and later ser

the Canal Zone. In April of 1942
he assumed command of the 7th

Major Oil Company To
Drill For Oil Near Cordova
JUNEAU, t/P>—William T. For
an, geologist and Northern Devel
opment Co., official, confirmed
Thursday a report that an oil
well will be drilled in the Katalla
Yakataga field near Cordova.
Difficulties with Indian claims
and an Interior Department reg
ulation limiting size of one firm’s
holding have been surmounted, it
was reported, and a major oil
company has agreed to drill.
Qualified persons have expres
sed the opinion a great reserve
may lie deep in the Cordova area.
A shallow well was producing ’
there to some extent until fire
destroyed the equipment in the
1930’s.

I wish to thank my supporters
