It includes groposals for birth control to cut India's vast population growth and so ease re- curring food shortages. The commission, which worked since March, 1950, to produce the 344-page report, proposes the spend ing of 17,930,000,000 rupees ($3, 765,300,000) to spur India's ad- vance toward betterment of her agricultural and industrial position and her national standard of living. The report now is thrown open to discussion before preparation of the final framework on which the economic structure will be based for the next five years. The report recommended, as a means of curbing the population growth -- the increase is estim- ated at five million a year -- that the state provide facilities for ster- ilization or the giving of contra- ceptive advice on medical grounds. "India's food problem is not a temporary disequilibrium between supply and demand -- it is a man- ifestation of the continually grow- ing pressure of the population on the food supply," the report said. "It has therefore to be resolved not through short-term expedients but through careful and sustained application of relatively long-term measures." India's population in 1941 was nearly 300 million. The report es- timates that it will be 383 million in 1956 at the present rate of growth. Neither the Hindu nor the Mo- slem religions prohibit birth con- trol but many of India's people op- pose it, for superstitious or other reason.

Heilman Baseball Great Dies Detroit (AP) -- Harry Edwin Heilmann, former Detroit Tiger great and broadcaster of Tiger games for 17 years, died today.

On the last balloting for base- ball's hall of fame at Cooperstown, N. Y., Heilmann got 136 votes -- i short of that needed for elec- on. Heilmann, born Aug. 3, 1894, had a lifetime batting average of .342 during his 18 years in the major leagues.

War Brides' Morale Helped By Trip to Old Country By KAY REX Toronto, (Ck) -- It's important that war brides get home cnce in a while. That's why the Canadian War Brides Association was formed. "Most of them like Canada and would never want to live any place else," says, Mrs. L, A. Preston of 'Toronto, a member of the associa- tion executive. "Once they see home | be: again, they are more satisfied to return to life in Canada." Every time a British girl who married a Canadian in the se ond world war heads home for a visit, she brings the CWBA a step closer to its objective: Special rates for groups of war brides going home to see their relatives. "We could guarantee to fill the planes and steamships," says Mrs. Many of the women were young Many of the women were young brides. They didn't fully realize how far they were going from their own people, The Association is a branch of the .Federation of Trans-Atlantic Brides and Parents Associations, formed three years ago in Britain. In Canada there are between 5,000 and 6,000 active members of a po- tential 50,000. The groups are scattered across the country. In each, members co- operate on such money-raising pro- jects 'as bazaars, 'dinners, dances. Profits are divided among the wo- men, to go toward the funds need- ed for that return visit to the home- land, "We're not a philanthropic or- ganization," explained Mrs, Preston, However, where necessary, the groups have helped individual mem- TS. The CWBA group in the Toronto area recently contributed toward the return fare of one of its mem= bers doomed to die of cancer. The British-born wife of a Canadian soldier lived at nearby Ajax. She wanted to go home to die. Punds were raised to send her, her husband and three children to Britain, The young Englishwoman died the day after she reached home, « The Toronto group plans to pub- lish a bulletin similar to the monthly pamphlet distributed from head-quarters in England, The British bulletin" carries lists of parents coming to Canada and their destination. This is distribut- ed to associations throughout the country. Similarly, the Toronto bul letin probably will carry the names of war brides visiting in Britain. Mrs, Preston says "quite a few" of the girls now are back home. Others plan a visit this autumn, Business. Spotlight CP Business Editor The reports "of the international bank for reconstruction and devel- opment frequently give the reader the flavor of travel in far 'coun- tries. The reports tell of the bank's missions to this land or that, of the loans it makes, and why. They tell, most of the time, of peoples in need of a better way of life--a way which generally seems possible if improved use is made of their re- sources. The most recent of such reports is from a mission to Guatemala, Central American country of low- lands, mountains and plateaus, which reaches from the Caribbean Sea to the Pacific ocean. It is about the sixe of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick combined, but has near- ly three times as many - people, more than half of them 'Indian. The mission was headed by Dr. George E. Britnell, head of the de- partment of economics and political science at the University of Sask- atchewan, who went to Guatemala in June of last year under the sponsorship of the bank in eol- laboration with the Guatemalan government. The mission's. report; as sum- marized by the bank, recommends expansion of agriculture, particu- lary in coffee and low-cost food crops; development of transpor- tation, particularly of highways; and says these would lay the foundation for gradual diversifi- cation of the economy and increas- ed manufacturing. The mission proposes opening up the Pacific coastal plain to me- chanized agriculture in order to in- crease production of basic food- stuffs, such as corn, beans, rice and meat. First, however, the ma~ laptal mosquito must be combatt- ed. To provide finances, the mission recommends an all-out effort to in- increase c of f e e production, the country's most important export. In recommending a highway pro- gram, the mission comments that completion of the pan-American highway would be of particular benefit to Guatemala, as it would promote international commerce with Mexico and El Salvador and other Central American republics, and open the country to tourist trade from Canada and the United States. The mission proposes, above the present level of expenditures, a maximum investment program over the next six years of the equivalent of $60 million on the assumption that the equivalent of $20 million will be invested from abroad. Dr. Britnell, the mission's head, was born in Macrorie, Sask., ed- ucated at the University of Toronto where he took his Ph.D. in 1938. He has been with the University of Saskatchewan since. He was economic adviser to the Saskatch- ewan royal commission on the Saskatchewan coal mining indus- try, 1941, and was an advisor to the wartime trade and prices board. Breakdown Ties Up Ships Montreal---OP--Traffic through the Lachine canal was at a stand- still today following a breakdown of the jack-knife bridge in subur- ban Ville St. Pierre.

Shipping men said each day that a lake boat is tied up costs about $1,400. TRUCK RUNS WILD ON HILL 4 DIE, 16 HURT Wurtsboro, N.Y. (AP) -- A steep Catskill mountain road yesterday becamé a mile-long bowling alley in which a careening, brakeless, 30-ton trailer truck crashed into 11 automobiles. oi Four persons diel and 16 were hurt, two critically, $n the flaming wreckage. The driver of the truck, Marsdon H. Reese, Jr., 28, of Bayonne, N.J. miraculously escaped injury. Five hours after the accident he was charged with criminal neg- ligence and held in $5000 bail. Police 'said many of the deaths and injuries were due to flames that enveloped the truck and at least four of the cars. The truck was loaded with highly- inflammable propane gas in cyl- inders. But it was the big vehicle's fuel supply, and not the propane, that caught fire as it sideswiped the first of a long line of passenger cars. Most of the traffic was New York <bound from the Monicello-Liberty resort area. Wurtsboro is about 85 miles from New York City. Say Driver Fled Scene Of Accident Claude Heroux, of Cherrywood, was apprehended by Pickering Township police over the weekend and charged with careless driving and failing to Semsin at the scene of an accident.
