There is nearly 90-per-cent illiter acy, but 65 per cent of those eligible now- receive primary school education. The old taboos are breaking down. Economically, India Is pain fully short of money. Although the Indian rupee is the shortage of foreign currency is such that a Canadian official said "In terms of foreign exchange holdings, India is broke."

(CP) The International Nickel Company was closed today when some 13,000 workers went on strike to back up contract demands. The strike stopped production at Canada's biggest single mining operation.

Another 1,000 workers struck at Lico's refinery at Port Colborne in southern Ontario. Final orders for the strike action came Tuesday night a few hours after last-ditch negotiations broke off abruptly in Toronto between Inco and the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers Mike Solski, local union presi dent, said Mine-Mill's 10-man negotiating team had made a new offer which the company rejected.

He declined to reveal details of the offer. Ralph D. Parker, vice-presi dent of inco, said the union had proposed an eightper-cenfr wage increase on the present average wage of $2.69 hourly. He said it would amount to an average of 17.6 cents an hour. Mr.

Parker indicated the com pany would stand by its earlier decision to accept a conciliation board report recommending that no wage increases be granted in the new contract. Inco operations are the main economic support of this area of 70,000 population. Inco has nearly 3,000 office and headquarters staff members not affected by the union contract.

However, Mr. Fleming was oDDosed to a high-walled Com monwealtji traainjr area, wona monwealth trading area markets are vital. "We cannot hope to flourish by endeavoring to develop trade be tween ourselves alone.

we are seeking, therefore, to consolidate and expand our Common wealth trade, but not to create a discriminatory economic bloc." Views varied also on the proposed European 17-country industrial free trade area, with Canada and other raw-material coun tries expressing fear the free trade area may shut out their vital exports. Reginald Maulding, British minister in charge of negotiat ing with European countries on free trade, felt sure there was a "very encouraging" measure of agreement among delegates based on the feeling that the free trade area should be "out' ward looking" and contribute to expansion of Commonwealth trade. J. M. Macdonnell, minister without portfolio in the Canadian government, expressed general sympathy for the European trade plan but felt concern about the dangers of "protectionist tenden cies" resulting from these moves.

New Zealand, which lives almost entirely on its food exports was particularly afraid Europe might use the free trade area as a gimmick for boosting tariffs and keeping New Zealand food out altogether.

The rails are used mainly for spur trackage In new industrial areas.

Heavier rails, also used for the street railway system, are used for reinforcing In major construction jobs. The rails stockpiled near the bridge are south of 97 Ave. on the east side of the CPR line. Engineering officials say the heavy rails are costly to move, too heavy for scrap dealers to use, and will be used up as new industrial areas are developed. A large quantity has been used in opening the Bremner Estate area in the west end.

Assistant city engineer Bob Nicolson says the city has about 40,000 feet of the type of rails used in construction projects. Those rails are de signed with a flange edge and are unsuitable for use as spur trackage. Some of the flange rails were used at the city power plant to reinforce installations for steam turbines. Some of the trackage for the Bremner estate came from the street car line built 40 years ago on Kingsway Ave. and never used.
