A spokesman said the founda- tion was creaied because dis-| interested aid was the only ac- ceptable way that mass media could be employed in develop- ing countries wary of "eco- nomic imperialism." He said the foundatica would devote much of its resources to television as an instrumeni of education because it is the most effective medium in coun- tries with a high level of illiter- acy. It is hoped the foundation will relp to realize Sir Winston Churchill's vision of Britain, performing the civiliznz rote of Greece in tne modern world. | Aids The trustees. of the founda-; tion include Field Marshai Earl) Alexander of Tunis, former Ca- nadian governor - general, and the Earl of Kilmuir, who as |David Maxwell Fyfe was home jsecretary from 1950 unti 1954.)

Galbraith was political sec- ond in command a: the admr- alty while William Vassall, jailed recently for selling naval secracs to Russa, was a clerk there. Wednesday night, Macmillan took the unprecedented step of publishing personal lttters to Vassall from Galbraith written during his tenure of office and afterwards. A government investigating committee reported Wed- nesday: "Prima facie, the letters in themselves do not appear to con- tain any implication of a rela- tionship constituting a security risk." The letters were found in Vassall's luxury apartment after he was arrested. They re- vealed that Vassall tried to get a job in éither No. 10 Downing Street, the prime minister's of- fieial residenee,.or in the cab- linet office. OFFERED HELP , Galbraith, who offered to help Vassall find another post, sug- gested in one letter he might become an official courier Another letter suggested.

(AP)--A state court jury convicted Billie Sol Estes Wednesday of swindling a west Texas cotton farmer in a mortgage transaciion and set his sentence at eight years in prison. District Judge Otis Dunagan permitted Estes to remain free on bond. while. his. lawyers-pre- |pared a motion for a new trial. | As the jury's verdict was read, Estes' jaw tightened and he looked grim. His wife, who sat near him, appeared on the verge of tears. The jury delib- erated for two hours and eight minutes. Estes was indicted by a grand jury in his home town of Pecos, Tex., on counts of theft and swindling. Judge Dunagan in- structed the jury that it could convict on only one of the counts, however. The state presented nine wit- nesses in support of its charges that Estes made fraud ilent mis- representations and stole a $94,- 500 mortgage from J. T. Wil- son, a Pecos cotton farmer, The mortgage was secured by liquid fertilizer tanks which the pros ecutors say never existed. The defence presented no wit- nesses, It contended Estes mer- ely paid a bonus for borrowing the credit of Wilson because Estes' credit was used up. It said he needed money to ex- pand fertilizer sales and grain storage, and to grow cotton on jtransferred acreage. allotments --since penalized by the U.S. de- partment of agriculture.

A defence ministty spokes- man also reported an Indian pa- trol clashed with the Chinese outside Chang, near the monas- tery town of Towang. Towang, just east of the Bhu- tan border, was captured. by the Chinese more than a week ago. Some 850 miles to the north- west, the Chinese continued a military buildup-near the stra- tegic frontline Indian airport of Chuchul in Ladakh, The Chinese attacks came as Indian defiance grew against Peking overtures for a dzal. NEHRU CHEERED Meantime, the InJian Parlia- ment cheered Prime Minister Nehru as he said the Indian people will drive the "expan sionigt, imperiali minded' ' how. long and hard the struggle may be."

His defiant statemen: in ef- fect rejected a Communist Chi- nese offer to withdraw from the territory it has occupied on the northeast frontier if India would give up the Ladakh area adjoin- ing Kashmir and Tib>t in the northwest. India rejected a sim- ilar swap in 1959. Peking's offer confirmed what many observers have felt was the Chinese aim in the last five years of border encroachment --to make Ladakh a secure con- necting route between Tibet and the western Chinese province of Sinkiang. The Chinese already have built a road between Ti- bet and Sinkiang across La- dakh, WARNS OF LONG FIGHT Nehru warned Parliament the fight against the "'massive Chi- nese invasion" was not going to end soon--"we may have to face this for a number of years."
