Indian Leaders Worry That Foreign Aid PURGE OR SUICIDE?:
Develous 'Relief Mentality' Among Poor Ex-Deputy's Death Threat to Nasser
---. ,,,., ,,. ..., _...,.._.iii-- - _..,. .... .... _ . .. _.....,..,. .. . *1.., .. ,.
NEW DELHI (P) - India has
received billions of dollars worth
of foreign aid. Responsible for-
eigners and Indian leaders are
beginning to wonder if a "relief
mentality" has been created.
They fear that perhaps in some
ways things have been made too
easy for the Indian people in their
quest for industrial development,
agricultural self-sufficiency and
20th-century living.
Numerous critics in Parliament
have complained that the massive
American food aid, while helping
to keep millions of Indians alive,
has slowed India's initiative to
produce enough food to meet its
own needs.
Drought Effects
The problem has become magn-
ified this year, with a world-wide
aid effort to help India through
the aftereffects of its worst
drought.
The aid effort was centered in
Bihar State, a backward area in
eastern India along the southern
Nepalese border.
Through the years, nature
helped the Biharis to sustain
themselves without too much ef-
fort. The Granges flooded every
spring and deposited new layers
of rich silt over the flat plains.
All the Biharis had to do was
sprinkle some rice seed and wait Bihar seem agreed that such an

brought the threat of millions

Some people, even Indians, have
come to refer to the Biharis as1
lazy or stupid. Knowledgeable

of people.
An excess of cattle led to over-
grazing, followed by soil erosion,+
which worsened the situation.
Today, on vast tracts of land
in Bihar, people are trying to
grow rice in soil hardly fit for
grazing by goats.
One highly placed Indian offi-
cial who made an extensive tour+
of Bihar said the people there are
paying the penalty 'for years of
idleness.{
"The economic cost to the na-
tion is hundreds of millions of
rupees a year," he said, with
reference to wasted resources.+

The Cairo announcement said
Amer, 47, had taken his life with
poison Thursday after several pre-
vious attempts at suicide since
the Middle East war in June. In
Beirut's first editorials on Amer's
death, censors carefully crossed
out all references that appeared to
question whether Amer's death
was actually a suicide.
Solid diplomatic sources say
Amer was indeed plotting to oust
Nasser with the intention of blam-
ing the Soviet Union for not com-
ing to Egypt's aid actively in the
June war with Israel.

Amer was singled out as a scape-
goat by Nasser, who also claimed!
Israel's quick victory resulted from
active U.S. military aid to the Is-1
raeli air force.-
Amer wastfired and Egyptians,
accustomed to seeing him always
at Nasser's side, were puzzled. In
the tradition of Middle East fatal-
ism, however, they accepted what
seemed an accomplished fact.
Then, on Sept. 4, Amer and 50
officers were rounded up and
placed under arrest on charges
of attempting to overthrow Nas-
ser.
Amer's reported death in these
circumstances places new burdens
on the already overstrained Egyp-
tian public credibility.
His alleged suicide was an-
nounced after his burial-and co-
incidentally just in time for the
first Saturday edition of Cairo's
semi-offical newspaper Al Ahram,
published by Nasser's longtime
crony, Mohammed Heikal.
Questions are being raised about
whether Amer was in fact a sui-
cide or a victim of Nasser's merci-
less purge of suspected opponents.
The government delayed an-
nouncement of the suicide for
more than 24 hours apparently to
head off any public upheaval.
But all indications from Cairo
yesterday were that the nation
was quiet. One Beirut newspaper
reported from Cairo that there
was not even a sign of public grief,
although Amer once had been a
popular figure.
Hours after Cairo's announce-
ment Friday night rumors spread
in foreign capitals that, in a fol-
low-up to the death, Nasser had
resigned. The rumorse were quick-
ly denied by an Egyptian govern-
ment spokesman in Cairo.
Radio Cairo broadcast its usual
programs yesterday and airline
flights continued into the Egyptian
capital.,

General Notices
The Michigan Memorial Phoenix Proj-
ect: Invites requests for faculty re-
search grants to support research with-
in the scope of the term "peaceful uses
of nuclear energy." Typical areas in
which the Project is interested are:
Biological effects of radiation, radia-
tion dosimetry, new uses of isotopes,
new tracer techniques, direct conver-
sion of nuclear energy to electrical
energy, the fusion process, plasmas as
related to controlled fusion, radiation
chemistry, nuclear weapons prolifera-
tion and disarmament, psychological at-
titudes toward nuclear energy haz-
ards, evaluation of hazards to urban
populations from nuclear activities,
and economic studies of nuclear ac-
tivities including power production.
New research ideas and pilot proj-
ects are particularly encouraged. The
relationship to peaceful uses of nu-
clear energy, however, must be clear.
The routine use of isotope tracer
techniques will not by itself justify
support.
Requests for grants of $3000 or less
are most appropriate. Grants may cov-
er equipment, supplies, research as-
sistance and field trips. Applications
for these grants should be returned
to the Phoenix Project by Mon., Sept.
25, 1967. Grants will be made by Nov.
15, 1967.
Application blanks may be obtained
from the office of the Phoenix Proj-
ect at the Phoenix Memorial Labora-
tory on the North Campus or by call-
ing 764-6213.

SEMINAR in PAUL TILLICH
An introduction to the thought of the late world-renowed theologian, espe-
cially as it relates to the conquest of anxiety. The five seminar sessions,
sponsored by The Office of Religious Affairs and led by Lloyd W. Putnam,
will begin with the showing of four films in which Professor TIlich dis-
cusses various aspects of philosophy, psychotherapy, and relgion. Discus-
sions following the films will deal with concerns prompted by them, but
will chiefly focus on a study of Tillich's book "The Courage To Be" (Yale
paperbound). The films and discussions are open to all students.
