sonal life.

science, DR.. Esther Loring Richard

Indians Acceptance
OF British Plan for
New Rule Forecast
BY the Associated Press

NEW DELHI, June 17.-Chances
increased today that the dominant
ly Hindu Congress party and the
Moslem League would accept the
British cabinet plan for an interim
government to rule the teeming
Subcontinent in the transitory pc
Rod before independence.
Field Marshal Lord Wavell, the
viceroy, proposed that five Con-
gresS representatives., five Moslem
leaguers and four representatives
of smaller segments of India's mass
of 100000 900 persons for the inter-
i'm government to start function
| ing June 26.
Mohandas K. Gandhi, spiritual
leader of the Congress, was repre-
sented as personally very unhappy"
but the pro-Congress Hindustan
Times said, there is every reason
for giving favorable consideration"
to Lord Wavell's announcement.
Dawn, official newspaper OF the
Moslem League, expressed the view
that the British cabinet mission had
! pulled fast one" and asked what
guarantee is there even now that
this final decision will re-
main final?" Political writer's inter-
preted this widely as indicating the
league would accept the proposed
cabinet, barring further changes.
Newspapers usually less than mod
crate on partisan issues generally
made favorable comments.
| President Maulana Azad of the
Congress visited Sir Stafford Grips,
one Of three British cabinet members
on the independence mission. He was
reported to have asked Qualification
on certain points believed concerned
with the distribution of the key port
folios in the proposed new regime
including the name of Premier H.
K. Mahtab of Orissa state. Mahtab's
name was not submitted by the Con-
gress and the party's working COM
mittee said they were not agreeable
to removing him from the provincial
sphere
Instructions to the provincial gov
errors to proceed with elections of
delegates to the Constituent As
sembly appeared to have impressed
the Congress with the determine
ton of the cabinet mission to waste
no time in implementing the indie
pendence proposal.

A 22-year odd soldier with both
legs amputated was taken to GAL
linger Hospital for mental observa-
ton last night after he attacked
several customers in a downtown
restaurant when he was refused

According to policemen who
answered the call the man began
attacking customers within reach OF
his fists and resisted efforts of two
military policemen who were trying
to calm him. He was discharged
from Walter Reed Hospital last
Friday, they said.
The soldier was said to have
partially healed decorations on his
wrists from a recent suicide at
tempt. Witnesses to the alteration
told police the soldier became
hysterical and accused every one
Of being against him" The res

Jet Planes to Carry U. S. Mail
In Demonstration SATURDAY.

SCHENECTADY, N. j., June IT
(NANA). United States mail will be
flown in jet planes for the first
time on Saturday, June %, when
Lockheed P-80's Of the Army Air
Forces carry demonstration packets
of letters to Washington, Chicago
and Dayton, Ohio, during General
Electric's air research demonstration.
All letters on these flights will
carry special jet plane cachet,
but they will not be postmarked
until they reach these cities. Since
there is little extra space in the
cockpits of the P-80s. only $50 let
tiers will be carried in each of the
two jet craft carrying the worlds
first jet air mail. One letter on the
Washington plane will be from
President Truman to Stuart SYM
ington, Assistant Secretary of War
for Air. The packet on the Dayton
Chicago run will contain letters for

, Orville Wright of pioneer aviation
fame, and Mayor Edward j. Kelly
Of Chicago.
The Post Office Department stip-
ulates that letters for the Jet mail
run should be addressed to a re-
cipient and should bear air-mail
stamps. These letters should be
addressed in another envelope to
First Jet Air Mail, GE Air Research
Demonstration, Schenectady, N. Y.
All letters as addressed will be han
died by General Electric and post
Office authorities. The first 1900
received will be placed aboard two
jet planes for delivery by air at the
rate of about 500 miles an hour.
Letters received, after the first
two packets have been completed
will be carried by jet planes before
being returned to the Schenectady
Post Office and sent in the usual
manner.

Early Approval Seen
OF Plan 10 Aid Armies
0fFriendIy Nations
BY the Assoeiored Press

House leaders reported yesterday
they expect congressional approval
soon OF broad program of military
cooperation with friendly nations
regarded as having joint interests
with this country.
Objective of the plan is the help
China, the Philippines and various
Latin American countries to build
small but well-organized armies and
navies. with equipment standard
lied to the United States pattern.
With such forces these nations
would be prepared to act jointly
with the United States in the event
of possible future attacks, as we'll as
to maintain better order domes-
tically.
The overall program is wrapped
up in three bills, each of which
would authorize the President to
transfer ornaments to the nations
involved and to arrange for Ameri-
can training of their personnel.
Use Excess Items.
In most cases the war goods sold
or given to other nations would be
items excess to the needs of this
country.
The State, War and Navy Depart
ments have joined in sponsoring the
measures.
Chairman Bloom of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee, which
passes on the legislation, said he
pelleVed a congressional signal to
those departments to put the plan
IN operation is not far away. He
said that virtually no opposition has
been expressed to the plan.
The Philippine aid bill already
has passed the Senate and House
and is being held up only for ad-
Justment of minor differences in
the two versions.
Inc lnter-Amerlcan cooperation
measure has been unanimously ap-
proved by the House Foreign At
fairs Committee, and will be acted
on by the House this week or next.
The aid to China bill has lust been
introduced by Mr. Bloom, with hear
ings tentatively scheduled for Tues
day.
Praised by Welles.
Sumner Welles, former Undersec-
rotary of State. said yesterday in a
! radio address that enactment of the
inter- bill is in the high
est degree essential not only as a
means of promoting the safety of
the new world but also as means
OF furthering American soli-
darlty and cooperation"
:, Mr.. Welles said fears that the
proposal might start an ornaments
race are wholly unjustified.
On the contrary, if the legislation
is not approved, he said, there may
be a repetition of the prewar situa-
ton when lobbyists for the arma-
ment manufacturers in Europe, as
well as in this country, were run
ming riot in Latin America"
IF all the American governments
agree upon what their respective
needs may be and agree to procure
their requirements from one source,
there will be no rivalries and no
armament race" he said.

DEMOCRACY ABANDONED

Mr.. Miles, writing in last weeks
column, see no good reason for
abandoning democracy. On this
point he has the agreement OF
many people. including ~ writer's
personal viewpoint.
Recall, however, these facts:
Monday We have contests in only
three wards for public office. Watch
the total OF the votes casti Some
time ago We elected a mayor with
less than 200 votes! Meeting after
meeting OF the council goes by
with only three or five townspeo-
pie attending Commission meet
ing after commission meeting (the
present method OF operation) Is
held with few of us even knowing
the three commission members. let
alone attending the meetings. I'm
wondering IL We haven't largely
abandoned democracy in Ypsilanti
already?
There is hope, however. And II
is in this that our essential democ-
racy rests.-In the election OF 1915
the votes cast were about 10000
increased over the pervious year.
Even this is long way from the
total eligible voting strength. But
on this more active democratic vote

proposed charter we retain the
fundamental control, the democra-
tic action, by the election OF the
seven-man council.
This council, with an active con-
test. city-wide. with men as able

will have a clean-cut task. They
will set the policy OF the city. They
will hire-and fire-the manager.
Democracy means control OF our
government. This arrangement will
make Mr.. Miles and | have no real
difference of opinion-merely an
Interpretation. The very fact he
expresses himself is evidence Of a
working citizen. We can use many
more! | should like to state my
Interpretation OF the control, by
the proposed city-manager, OF utili-
ties, etc.
Actually the utilities are selling
either service or goods. The fire
department sells much needed pro-
lection. The police department,
likewise. The public works depart.
ment, also. For these we pay with
our tax money. The gas company
sells its gas product; the water
department, our water supply and
disposal service; the hospital, a
guarantee of facilities for hospital
iZation.
For each Of these we are concern
ed in the product, its effectiveness
and its cost. What we want Is SER
vice, usuable goods-and the best
way to obtain these is by business
like procedures.
Such democratic representation
in commissions as might be includ-
ed at present | am willing to waive
to obtain more efficient services
and products. My fundamental
democratic representation will be,
as II has been, unimpaired by
my continuing privilege and duty
OF voting for a city-wide council.
