HENRY F. GRADY
GOING TO INDIA
Well Known Trade Expert
Will Become Ambassa-
dor To New Delhi

WASHINGTON, April (P)-
Henry F. Grady, trade expert and
government trouble = shooter"
has been chosen to be the United
States first ambassador to India,
Undersecretary of State Dean
Acheson disclosed today.
The 65-year-old California ship
ping man has been runored for
some time as the man tapped for
the job. This will be his first am
bassadorial post.
Acheson let the word out at his
news conference when asked by
reporters when President Truman
would send the nomination for the
India post to Congress. Such ne
limitations always are announced
by the White House.
Acheson said he would take a
terrific chance by saying that the
nomination of Grady would be
sent to the Senate today.
He evidently was unaware that
Cd Congress was in recess today
in observance of Good Friday and
CD President Truman said yester-
day he had not offered the post
to Grady.
The American ambassador will
go to New Delhi at an historic
hour in India's history. The
sprawling, poverty plagued nation
is due to be set free by Great
Britain as an independent country
by June, 1948.
Efforts to get the Indians ready
for independence have been re.
peatedly stalled by continuing
Moslem opposition to the federal
union plan proposed by Britain.
The Moslems, who still seek a
separate state for themselves.

constitution writing body on

India's stragetic geographic DO
sition near Russia's Southern
borders has raised questions on
her relations with Moscow.
Senator George (D-Ga) referred
to this in a statement TODAY in
which he called for a check on
Russia expansion.
