4 India wants the understanding and

ing the -dimctilt period through
which, it Is now going. Jagadish
Nataraian, First Secretary of the
Indian Embassy. declared yesterday
before 4 luncheon meeting of the
Woman,s National Democratic Club.
Speaking Ii the Absence Of the
indian Ambassador, who was de-
tanned Id New York where he Is at
tending the Security Council ses-
sions, Mr.. Natarajan pointed out
that India has not been able TO give
adequate attention to It's social prob
lems, due to 'preoccupations with
political issues.
For some OF these problems,
@India has no one but herself TO
blame" he asserted, but added that
the people OF India are now ready
and determined to face them and
solve them. He praised the work
done By the women Of India, through
the All India Women's Conference.

cularly LII the labor f1eM.
In spite Of the present political
division Of the Moslems and Hindus,
the increase In popular representa-
tion In the Constitutional Assembly,
"though small, )" holds much hope for
future unity, he declared. The
Moslems and Indian princes have
previously shown no desire for menu
.bership in the body, he said. but
eight states, representing third OF
the total population Of the states,
have recently joined the Assembly.
Abolition Of chability Is now
one OF the provisions before the AS
sembly, Mr.. Natarajan pointed out,
sbut It IS difncult to fight tradition
with legislation" However. under
the influence OF modernization, un-
touchability Is fast dying out, he
said. He added that the government
is now giving ''untouchables"
scholarships and even foreign serv-
ice posts.
Mr.. Natarajan, who Is also his
couhtry,s public relations repre-
sentative, recommended improve
ment In the type OF news dispensed
by international news agencies, par
ticularly between India and the
United States. He recalled that when
he was called on during the war to
assist the u. S. Office OF War IN
formation office In India, he sug-
gested that so per cent OF the news
be about daily domestic and labor
problems and how we solve them
rather than the celebrity type Of
news they had been receiving. This
suggestion resulted in 81 per cent
Of the news being purchased by 400
Indian papers, he pointed out.
Mrs. Natarajan was also guest
at yesterdays luncheon. Mrs. G..
Leslie Glenn, program chairman, In

SYNTHETIC YARN

Chemical research in the
field of synthetics has resulted
in a new vinyl yarn that shows
promise in an unlimited num-
Der of textile applications. 1t
will soon be available in semi
commercial quantities.
The new yarn won't shrink
in boiling water, and can be
readily dyed dark and bril-
liant shades. 1t also has high
strength and good resistane
to chemical attack, is water
resistant and completely un-
affected by bacteria or insects.
1t is basically different from
other vinyl materials.
Unlike the majority of syn
thetics, fabrics based on the
new yarns have a "hand" very
much like silk and feel warm
to the touch. These character
istics, it is believed, will prove
advantageous in bathing suits,
foundation garments, rain
wear and dress goods.

Forgetful? Try DR.. Henderson's
Memory System; It's Easy, He Says

NEA Staff CORRESPONDENT

Henderson has memorized the cal

It comes in handy if someone
asks him what day of the week
a particular date falls on. Giver
the date and year, he can tel
you whether it was Tuesday OF
Saturday, the day you were born,
and the day your birthday falls
On in 1898.
Henderson stepped naturally
from engineering to a memory
specialist. When ne was ~supervis.
ing the installation of a new mu.
nicipal water system several
years g o, he memorized the
names, positions and lengths OF
each street in town. 1t only took
him a few hours.

First, he says, pay attention
when you are being introduced.
Get a good picture of the new

In conversation with a new &C.
quaintance be sure to use his
name. Repeating the name en-.
trenches it in yoyur memory. Visu.
connect the name and the face.
Link the name with a mental pic

remember it easier.
Sometimes it is worthwhile tt
rhyme the names. If you learn,
