Mrs, Gandhi warns business on poverty B7 PRAN SABHARWAL New Delhi Bureau of The Sun New Delhi Prime Minister Indira Gandhi yesterday warned industrialists that the public was impatient with In dia's age-old poverty.

"We do not have all the time in the world," she said. Addressing the annual gathering of the Indian chambers of commerce and industry, Mrs. Gandhi admitted that "we are at a crossroads" and it is time that "we start thinking about everything we have done be fore." She asked for co-operation and a dialogue with private Indian businesses to help her keep her promises to the people who live in "dismal and ab ject" poverty. I Her speech showed the gov ernment was worried about the current slow growth of the economy and was an admission that private business invest ment had suffered because of an ideological stranglehold. I must confess the path is not clear, she said.

"We can only make the path and bring about qualitative change through your co-operation. Mrs. Gandhi, a socialist, has been committed to a policy of nationalization. Before her speech, there had been specula tion that she would begin a new program of industrial takeovers. Admitting "we have to make she said, "If we fail whether because of the mis takes of government or busi ness, or industry or any one section we will all topple together." This, she warned, would affect not only "any one section, but the entire country." Private businessmen attending the annual conference ap parently were not surprised that Mrs.

Gandhi had asked for They felt the only way she could retain power and not be swept away by economic chaos was by. increasing production and investments, which would provide work for the 15 million unemployed. This segment of the population increases at the rate of 3 million a year. The industrialists contend that the Indian economy is in good shape and, if the govern ment were to loosen its control on private industry, this coun try of 560 million could be on the move. They pleaded with Mrs.

Gan dhi to accept them so that they can perform -what they called their social "responsibility." El Salvador coup reported over COUP, from Al has been one of the more stable of the Central American repub lics. This stability was broken briefly in 1969 when El Salvador and Honduras engaged in a bloody, four-day border war set off by the results of regional qualifying matches for the world soccer championships. Apart from that clash, El Salvador has not had any major upheavals since a series of coups and countercoups disrupted its political life between 1945 and 1961. Radio Salvador, monitored in Mexico City, said the officers' uprising was led by Gen. Jose Alberto Medrano.

General Medrano lost his post as commander of the National Guard as a result of the 1969 war.

The command said the cause of the jet crash Thursday still was, unknown. The plane was on a bombing mission against suspected enemy positions near Saravane, on the northern edge of the Bolovens Plateau. The U.S. Army helicopters were forced down Thursday by enemy ground fire south of Tuy Hoa while operating with South Korean troops. Both helicopters, the command said, were painted bright white and marked with large red crosses so they could easily be recognized as medical evacuation craft.

The U.N. report estimated that rice production had increased about 1.77 per cent last year, but" attributed it to an increase in the amount of land under cultivation, rather than greater use of miracle rice.1 The average yield declined rather than increased. Hard work ahead This and similar technical factors led Mr. Singh and other agricultural experts here to warn that restoration of peace on me subcontinent will not necessarily mean food production will again catch ud with population growth. "Peace, it seems, is always problematic in Asia," Mr.

Singh said. "We also should be prepared for a flattening of the growth rate in food production. ine original spurt was easy: Further gains will take hard work." One irony of the poor agriculture production last year was that the Philippines, the country that nurtured "miracle rice," will not be able to grow enough to feed its neonle. Tt. may fall as much as 1.2 million tons short, mostly because of spreading insurgency and communal fighting in the southern Philippines.

Asia's population grew an es timated 2.5 per cent last year, according to the U.N. figures, but agricultural production increased only 1.9 per cent. 1 As a result, the; amount of food grown per" person in Asia declined last year for the first time in four years.

"Alarming" statistics Food and population experts attending the 25th anniversary meeting here, of the U.N.'s Commission for Asia and the Far East termed the statistics "This is a very serious development," said Mohinder Singh, aeputy cmet ot tne organza- uon's agriculture division. "'There was considerable feeling that, with miracle rice and the other high-yield grains, we were making progress. We clearly have not come as far as many people thought." The principal factors in the per-capita decline in food pro duction, experts here said, were the Indo-Pakistani warv. the Bengali insurgency and the East Pakistan The production of rice, wheal and other, cereal grew only .08 per cent last year in Asia's developing countries, according to the U.N. figures, compared to 5.16 -per cent; the previous year.

STERNE Bonn Bureau of the Sun Bonn Egon Bahr, Chancellor Willy Brandt's chief adviser on policy toward the Soviet bloc, is flying to Washington tomorrow for talks with high-ranking American officials. Although spokesmen in Bonn described the visit as routine yesterday, it coincides with mounting uncertainty here over the fate of Mr.

There has been speculation in Bonn that if the Christian Dem ocratic oposition succeeds in blocking Mr. Brandt's treaties and perhaps in toppling his government, an angry Russian response could imperil President Nixon's trip to the Soviet Union May 22.

The Brandt government has understood Washington's, reluctance to intrude in West German-domestic politics by expressing support- for Bonn's Eastern treaties.
