To Aid in India
 New Food Pledge Made to Britons

London, May 23-GUP)-Commons was told today that the United States had agreed to help Britain supply food to India and the Brit ish zone of Germany.
 Herbert Morrison, lord president of the Council, said the American and British zones in Germany would be put on the same standard of ra- tioning. .
 Morrison returned this week from Washington, where he conferred on the food situation. '
 He said the Americans agreed to help Britain with the supplying of India and the German occupation zone .esto the fullest extent that available resources would allow"
 "They have agreed" he said, "to see that there should not be starv- ing persons in the British zone in Germany side by side with the Am- erican zone."
 He said he found a disturbing misunderstanding in Washington about our ability to supply India and the British zone. The United States Government now feels able to associate itself with the task ot supplying India and the British zone."

 Young Democrats Hear Senator

State Sen. Patrick J. Wallace made an informal announcement of his candidacy flor renomination by the Democratic Party in the 18th district last night in a speech to Waterbury Young Democrats at Florio Post Halk
 Formal announcement of his can didacy is being withheld by Senator Wallace until after consultation with old friends in the district and leaders of the Wallace-for-Senator Club, he said,
 Senator Wallace's candidacy is ob- viousIy being taken for. granted by leaders of the party organization. This was illustrated by the predic- ton last night by Rep. John A. Memhrino and other speakers that the incumbent from the l6th will be renominated and reelected this Fall.
 The Wallace candidacy insures at least a two-man primary fight in the district, since ex-Alderman Mar tin Sullivan is already actively cam- paigning for the nomination. Ex- Sen. John F. Tobin IS another po- tential candidate, and ex-Sen. Jo- seph H. Lawlor may also enter the race.
 Senator Wallace, an employe of the Scovill Manufacturing Company. was defeated for the nomination in 1922, losing to Senator Tobin in a primary. He was nominated and elected in 1914, and served in the Senate during the regular 1945 ses- sion and this years special session.

U.M.W. Boss Submits New Wage Issue
 Federal Officials
 Discuss Requests
 Which Are Secret

Washington, May g = UP - Government officials studied John L. Lewis newest contract proposals today, still hoping to reach 8 tenta- tive agreement in time to avert an- other soft coal strike at midnight Saturday,
 Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers (A.F.L0, submitted the proposals during initial bar- gaining with Government officials in charge of the bituminous mines which were seized yesterday by or der of President Truman. Lewis proposals included wage demand never submitted to the mine owners in direct negotiations.
 Coal Administrator J. A. Krug planned to recall Lewis for further discussions late today after the Government officials had reviewed the union proposals which were outlined by Lewis during more than six hours of conferences yesterday.
 Details Still Secret
 Krug told reporters that the Gov ernment hoped to be ready to state what 1t could offer when Lewis fin- ished his statement of the unions position.
 Details of the Lewis proposals were not disclosed. It was pre- sumed that those in addition to the new wage-demand were similar to the ones served on the operators.
 Krug told reporters he hoped an agreement on principles could be reached by Saturday night before expiration of the present two-week work truce. He thought such an agreement, assuring contract, might persuade the miners to re- main at work.
 If no agreement should be reached, Krug expected another industry-wide strike in the coal fields unless Lewis asks the miners to continue working without a con- tract.
 Miners Indignant
 Thus far Lewis has given no in- dication whether he would order an extension of the current truce, which ended a six-week walkout of the 100000 bituminous miners. Even if he ordered an extension, the wildcat strikes during the truce in- dicated that thousands of miners would ignore Lewis action. Their traditional slogan has been mo con- tract, no work"
 Preliminary reports received by the Solid Fuels administration showed 243 mines were closed yes- terday during the first day of Gov ernment operation.

 Catholic Church Studies Indian;s Identification

Rome, May 2S-(UP)-The Holy Congregation of Rites today sched- uled study of the proceedings for the justification of an American Indian girl-the canonization of the Lily of the Mohawks."
 Catherine Tekakwitha, daughter of a Iroquois chieftain and an AL gonquin Christian squaw, lived only 24 years. She never met a nun, never went to school, and never read a book. Her martyrdom was brought on by her devotion to her mission ary work.
 She was born at the Canadian villige of Ossernenon in 1856. Four years later the entire village was wiped out in plague of smallpox all but the little girl.
 Attracted to Faith
 Missionary fathers of the Com pany of Jesus found her in a vile iage and the girl was strongly att tracted to the new religion. The Jesuits sent her to the missionary

 "Cathreine Tekakwitha is forced to seek refuge in your mission an accompanying lettle read. May she, under your precious guide. grin the glory of the Almighty for the sal- vation of a soul which we are sure is extremely precious to God"
 The long and dangerous journey had a fatal effect on the frail health of the indian girl but she set about preaching the Gospel to the Indians in thei r own language despite her illness.
 Found Frozen In Woods
 In a winter storm in 1880, on her way back from a sermon, she was found half frozen to death in the woods. After two months of high fever she died quietly on Holy "wednesday. Her funeral was held on Good Friday.
