Grain for India Bill
Faces House tuesday
Hard Fight Expected
BY the Associated Press

Shipment of 2 million tons OF
United States grain to India on a
ldhg-time loan basis was approved
yesterday by the Senate.
The House will take up a SIM
liar bill next Tuesday. The meas
ure has been on and off the House
schedule for almosta a month. Ad-
ministration leaders expect hard
fight. but hope to get it through
by narrow squeak. 1t is opposed
by a coalition of some Republicans
and Southern Democrats.
The Senate bill provides that
the Economic Cooperation Ad-
ministration chief should try to
get some vital defense materials
including manganeSe-in repay
ment for the food. Manganese,
used in hardening steel, is in short
supply here.
Repayment of the $190 million
food loan would be over a period
Of 33 to IS years with interest of
az per cent. There would be no
payments on the principal for the
first six or eight years.
Would Fill Gap.
The bill also provides that the
interest paid by India on the loan
in the first five years would be
used to finance program of tech
nical assistance for India and an
exchange of students, teachers and
experts between that country and
the United States.
Although the grain totals only
about a two weeks supply for
India. sponsors of the bill esti-
mated that it would fill the gap
which India has no other way of
meeting this year because of short
1850 crops.
Sponsors said the United States
grain could not reach India i'm
mediately But they emphasized
that congressional passage of the
bill would enable that country to
use up its stocks at faster rate
with the knowledge American help
was on the way.
The United States has been SELL
ing grain to India on cash basis.
In asking Congress last Feb
ruary to answer India's plea for
help to avert q famine in some
areas, President Truman proposed
that the grain-mostly wheat
should be an outright gift.
Meanwhile, the United States is
going ahead with plans for export
of vast quantities of grain during
the coming marketing season de-
spite poor crop prospects in some
areas.
The Agriculture Department
has set up an export program call
ing for the shipment Of about
$50 million bushels of wheat dur
ing the marketing year beginning
July I. This quantity compares
with estimates that exports will
total about $50 million bushels Of
the current marketing year.
This program could be changed,
however. should crop develop
ments turn less favorable than
now indicated, officials said. At
present, it appears that the wheat
crop may be the smallest since
1943. However. the situation is
helped by the fact that large re-
serves stored under farm price
programs still exist.
The Government already has
allotted 59,300,000 bushels of
wheat and other grains for export
In July, the first month of the
new marketing year. The de-
partment said plans are being
made for even larger shipments
in August.
India will receive more United
States grain in July than any
other country, total Of nearly
10 million bushels. The depart
ment said India will have bought
for cash this marketing year a
total of about 70 million bushels
of American grain

Potomac Man
Throws Hat In
Political Rinu

Speaking at meeting of the
Takoma Park Republican Club, at
the home of Judge Heffner Tues
day evening, H. Grad Gore of Po-
tomac said that he would be a
candidate for the U. S. Senate in
1862. Hundreds of his friends in
the state had written him asking
that he enter the contest, he said.
Mr.. Gore who spoke on good
government said that the pres
ent political conflict was not be-
tween Democrats and Republicans,
but rather between those who were
trying to establish zone man rule
in the United States" and those
trying to maintain good govern
ment with the constitutional sepa-
ration of powers into legislative,
executive and judicial departments.
He deplored the present trend
of encroachment by the executive
department upon the Legislative
a.d judicial, which he thinks is bad
government and will lead to even
tual disaster. If elected, Mr.. Gore
would strive to put a stop to the
development of one man rule"

Council : Press
Fail To Agree On
Closed Sessions

After "bull" session of almost
two hours Tuesday afternoon, the
County Council and Washington
and County newsmen failed to
solve the question of how the pub
lie is to be informed of business
transacted by the Council in closed
session, osr if the closed sessions
are to be discontinued in favor of
open ones. The group will meet
again shortly in an attempt to find
solution satisfactory to both.
Ernie Tanner, president of the
Montgomery County Press Asso-
citation, spokesman, contended the
public is entitled to know the opin-
ions voiced by council members in
reaching decision, as well as the
decisions themselves. This would
stimulate public interest in govern
ment, he said.
"Open meetings should be the
rule and closed sessions should be
the exception to that rule" he said.
Councilman Harold F. Hammond
was the most outspoken advocate
of closed sessions. He contended
they are merely for the conven-
fence of the council so it can
line up what is to come
up in open meeting and how
to proceed. He contended that the
presence of newsmen, avid for the
sensational, at executive sessions
might influence the deliberations
and decisions.
A suggestion for one month
trial period when all meetings
would be open was made by Coun-
Gilman was made by Councilman
Kathryn Lawlor. 1t was empha-
sized that the council would still
reserve the right to ask newsmen
to leave the meeting or to consider
certain proceedings "off the rec
ord.
Another suggestion was that the
closed morning sessions be short
ened and that Council President ].
Louis Monarch announce what hap
pened at those meetings before
beginning the regular open ses-
sion.
