India Details Program
Designed 10 Increase
National Income 11%
BY the Associated Press

NEW DELHI, India. Dec. g.
Prime Minister Nehru presented
to Parliament today India's for
malized 5-year plan, designed to
raise this country's national in
come II per cent by 1866.
The 2.000-page report, over
which a planning commission has
labored since 1850. recommends
expenditure Of 20.687 800, 900 ru-
pees ($4.344. 400, ,0009 in the five
years from 1950-51 to 1886.
Final recommendations for IN
dia's national development are
sharply increased over the draft
outline released in July, 1851,
which showed expenditures of only
1929, 100000 rupees ($3, ,135, ,000,-
00O.
Covers All Phases.
The flve-year plan, central OBJ
jective of which is set out as ito
raise the standard of living of
India's people and open to them
opportunities for q richer and
more varied life,' covers almost
every phase of the nations indus
trial. commercial and agricultural
life. as well as recommendations
for expansion Of the communica-
tionS, health and education pro-
grams.
It's early emphasis is on agri-
culture. which the plan says. must
have top priority in order to guar
antee ample food for India's 357
million residents.
It recognizes the community
development program, financed
jointly by India and the United
States under American assistance
grants, saying community devel-
opment is the method and rural
extension agency through which
the flve-year plan seeks to ini-
tiate the process of transforma- :
ton of the social and economic
life of the villages"
receive outside Help.
India proposes to finance a
gigantic program through the use
of 1880. .0O 900 rupees ($2,641,-
800, 0,000) of normal budgetary re-
sources plus assistance of 1,560.-
100000 rupees ($327 ,600,0 ,000)
already received in aid grants
from the International Bank, the
United States, Canada, Australia
and New Zealand.
The gap between expenditures
and estimated available funds will
be met through additional internal
taxation, borrowing and deficit
financing.
Presentation of the plan before
Parliament for study and debate
was largely a formality since the
government started many of its
Recommendations more than a
year ago. Members have a week
to study it with a debate of it's
provisions scheduled to start De-
cember Is.
The Communists are likely to
concentrate their opposition
against the emphasis on agricul-
tural development instead of
greater industrial expansion. The
provision calling for a uniform
policy on land reform is likely to
be another issue drawing heavy
debate.

Silvered-leaf Monkeys.

Weird-looking Silvere-leaf mon
keys from the Old World are chock-
full Of surprises. They are native to
Southeastern Asia, Sumatra, Java,
Borneo and Bali. Leafeaters, they
seek their living among the trees,
nourished by leaves and fruits. They
descend to the ground in search of
vegetables and succulent greens.
They do not possess cheek pouches.
Nature has provided for this over
sight by giving them a stomach
divided into Sacs or pouches. The
stomach acts as a storage place for
food which may be rapidly consumed
and digested later.
Members of the Langur species,
monkeys are largely arboreal.
Since their legs are much longer
than their arms and walking on all
fourS is customary among them,
their gait is awkward though swift.
AL have long slender bodies and
long straight tails. Their shocks Of
blond or black hair give them ex-
preSsions of great surprise,
The mother may have twins with
ebony locks and later be blessed
with . pair of strawberry blonds.
The "silvered" part Of the name
refers to the speckling Of gray in
their hair. The red-headed ones are

However, to form the plural Of
marquee, we restore the "s'-mar-
quees pronounce it mahr KEEZ,
and thus have the original singular
noun as it entered English, in both
spelling and pronunciation!
@. Is the beverage punch so
called because the wine or liquor in
it gives one a punch?-H. S.
A. No. According to w. w. Skeat,
punch was introduced from India
during the 1600's. The original
word was the Hindustani panch
pronounced: Punch), meaning
five" The Indian drink was called
panch because 1t consisted Of five
ingredients - spirits. water. lemon

lust as freckled on their soles and
palms.
Their way of recognizing old
acquaintances is rather odd, too
The monkey raises his hands over
his head. opens his mouth and stares
with apparent terror.
They seem to enjoy sleeping and
sunbathing in the direct rays of the
sun. Awakened by a sudden empty
feeling, they plop to the floor to
race about in search Of something to
eat.
Zookeepers are generous to the
little fellows. Often there is fruit
enough to secret for such an occa-
sion. The leafeaters love to peek
into every possible hiding place for
a bite of food. After this they sit
close together watching the crowds.
Not once do they attempt to comb
down or arrange the shocked tresses
that always have the lust got up
look"
At home the leafeaters live in
small family groups. After they
have been on an eating binge, they
appear to long for the company OF
their own kind and sit shoulder to
shoulder in quiet meditation.
They do not appear handicapped
by the absence of q thumb. The
fruit is held in the palm Of the hand
while eating.

7 axe MyWord for 1t

@. Why is a canopy over the door
Of a hotel or theater called a
marquee?-J. T.
A. 1t came about thus: In French,
the wife of a marquis is a mar
quise, pronounced: Mar-keez (the
English term is marchioness, pro-
nounced: MAHR-shun- -esS). Gen.
turies ago the French also used the
word marquise for a large tent for
a marchioness or any other woman
Of rank.
In time the French word mar
quise came to mean "a canopy over
the doorway of a public building. !"
Now when the word entered Eng
lish, 1t was first spelled marques. ;"
But, because the final IS" was
was thought enormously to make
a plural noun, the IS" was dropped.
and the canopy became known as
